Agreed. It is endearing & genuine, too. Unlike the intolerable drunken annoyance (still pushing crypto BTW) Jimmy Fallon, who is obviously doing it on purpose for comedic effect but trying to seem like he just can't help it on SNL. We get it, Fallon, *you* think you're really funny 🙄
This week's MVJ (Most Valuable Jackal) was the genius who corrected the book joke. Honorable mention to the Jackal who listed all the errors in Ya Burnt, and Rookie of the week is of course SCOLLINS! (A distant chant that grows in strength: "One of us! One of us! One of us!")
Thank you! I will happily accept the honorable mention. I mentioned 7 or so corrections and only about 2 were mentioned but it thrills me I am part of Correction's history. 😆
Thank you, thank you very mush. I edged out fellow jackals by 3 minutes on the first book correction. I just kept my head down and typed and hoped for the best. I would like to thank Clive Davis for all he's done for me and my career. And I'll also thank Clive on you all's account for all that my career has given you all.
The Jackal chant: "Us, Aye? Us, Aye? " Often the "Us" is spelled out. So if you hear someone spellout "us" in a chant, and end up with a community confirmationseeking "Aye?", you know that is a group of jackals there, cheering you on as a felloe jackal.
SETH! You gave me the Corrections Jackals mug at the Thursday taping and I wanted to thank you again! It made it safely through JFK baggage check and back to Kentucky! Some guy on the way out of the taping tried to buy it off of me for $20. Don’t know what’s worse, the fact that he asked to buy it or that he only offered $20.
When Seth broke character and was chuckling under his breath after he hung up on Andy I was at here at home laughing like I was in a packed theater...🏆🥇

Hey Seth. I'm from the UK and I love your work. Thank you so much. I'm not a jackal in any way. I'm a furniture maker. I have a friend who is also a furniture maker and his firm got the contract to fit out the British Embassy in Baku (capital of Azerbaijan) he said they had a knock off of Pizza Hut there and it was called Pizza Hat.

Cake ABSOLUTELY is an invention and every time I bake, much like how Seth thinks about the first guy to make a "no sh*t, Sherlock," joke, I think about what a goddamn genius whoever the first person to mix butter and sugar together was.
Fun fact (if your interpretation of 'fun' is broad enough): we can't be sure of what the first 'book' was- though you could argue it was a series of magic spells found in Fara in Iraq dated to around 2500BCE- but we do know the first named author. A collection of hymns to the goddess Inana from the 24th Century BCE were attributed to Enheduana, a princess of the Akkadian Empire who was also a chief priestess, so the world's first author was also a woman. We can't know for sure if she wrote them, but the fact that they were credited to her is significant enough. I bet she had cake at the publishing party.
Very interesting comment, it's great to see the level of culture of Corrections viewers. It all depends of what you call a "book", the first signs of writings as symbols are about 100,000 years BCE, and some of them do tell stories. An historiography of writing dates the first the first symbols from early hierorogplyhs in Egypt, symbols in Polynesia, Americas, Asia, Africa, but it was the first sumerian alphabet (derived from cuneiforms, which became drawings, which became letters) and formed the basic of the latin alphabet we use right now. Other "alphabets" (chinese, korean, japanese, cyrillic, ....) all have their stories too
CLARIFICATION: the term "invention" typically relates to a process or device in modern parlance, so you could perhaps say the cake-making process had not yet been invented. Otherwise the earliest forms of cake would probably have been better described an "innovation", as it was a new idea for a type of bread - the ancient Egyptians are broadly credited with producing the first "cake", which would have been a sweet bread.
Wow that's some serious needling, any baker could say there was obviously a point in which the cake recipe was formed. Just as new recipes and innovative foods have been created.
Thanks for picking my correction! Was my first one! Love your content so much, corrections is the best part of my waking up to use the bathroom at 3am and check my phone part of my Friday!
I'd spell 'corrections' deliberately incorrectly as 'correckshuns'. But that's just me. Who's to say what the correct incorrect spelling of a word should be?
CORRECTION FROM EARLIER TONIGHT FOR WALLY: Where's Waldo is called that in North America but is called Where's Wally in England (where it was originally written) so your Wally will need a new title for his book.
Wordle moves left to right irrespective of the previous row, so it actually would be the second “T” that would be gray! Thanks for making Friday mornings better! EDIT: Agreeing with the people who think it’s bait now that I’ve seen it again! It might have been too early in the morning for me on this one 😂
Thank you so much for this. I have been struggling with some PTSD anniversary things, and this Corrections gave me a few good, genuine laughs. They were very needed, and the chaotic energy here somehow just made life feel better.
Air Bud actually got famous BECAUSE of Late Night - the movie Air Bud was written because Buddy (the dog who could shoot basketball) got famous for that trick after appearing on the David Letterman segment 'Stupid Pet Tricks'

If it had been written with upper and lower case, then the plural for CD would be CDs. However, they wrote it all in caps, in which case the apostrophe is used for clarification: CD'S. Without it, it appears as a whole new initialism. But it would have been best to use upper and lower (CDs).
From Wikipedia: 'Following an evolution in usage in the 20th century, today "the apostrophe of plurality continues in at least five areas":abbreviations, letters of the alphabet/small words, numbers, family names, and in non-standard use.' I would argue that the apostrophe for the abbreviation 'CD' can be considered appropriate here.
@@ramblerdave1339 It’s not just Wikipedia (and they were quoting from other sources on Wikipedia anyway). In this instance it was acceptable… though as a writer and designer, I’d have opted for the less clunky CDs. But maybe Seth’s graphics dept. knows this and just wanted to be chastised. You know how they are!

While I like the twenty-two minute corrections, it also makes me sad to know that next week they will have to make that time up and we will get a seventeen minute corrections. Seth, please watch the time. We need that Emmy. Yes, WE. It belongs to all of us.
Cake is absolutely an invention. All the mechanics of baking had to be discovered, fire had to be tamed, utensils and other tools developed. You think just any extant species can just waltz right up and whip up a cake on the spot? There is a whole chain of R&D before you unlock Cake Technology, brother.
Maybe a little late to offer a correction on the Werther's Original graphic, but the graphics department showed the toffees being fired from the gun with their wrappers still on. Apparently the act of firing toffees from an artillery piece strips the wrappers off, as happened in the legendary New Zealand Royal Artillery Lolly Scramble of 1958. Mike Dakin recalls "The Waiouru gun, a 3.7-inch mountain gun ( a small howitzer) actually fired lollies on Gunners' Day, 26 May 1958," he says. "Yes, they were Mackintosh's toffees; the problem was not that the kids were peppered by lollies, but that the sweets had the paper wrapping stripped from them. One of the little ingrates gave me a hard time over that. Yes it was I who fired the gun, the kids well behind the muzzle."
Seth, I agree that meeting the first person who said "no sh*t, Sherlock" as a joke would be amazing, but I think you may be equally interested in having dinner with the first person to ever say it. According to a 19th-century diary held in the University of New Hampshire Archives, Sherlock Holmes set-off on holiday in the Spring of 1892 traveling by train from Bombay to Calcutta. After a large breakfast of spiced omelets, Sherlock excused himself and went looking for the gentleman's lavatory. In his haste he ended up in a small smoking room with his trousers down, sitting on a chair that had been set aside for re-caning. It was at this moment a young attendant entered and shouted "Koee shauch nahin! Koee shauch nahin, Sherlock!" The bewildered occupants of the car burst into laughter. Seeing Sherlock's confusion, a well-meaning passenger with minimal translation skills voiced the first-known utterance of what is now a common phrase. Sensing the potential damage to his reputation, Sherlock paid handsomely to keep the details suppressed. To his relief, the context was lost. However the phrase was irrepressible and quickly took on a life of its own.
I still have to catch up with a lot of the pandemic episodes of Seth's shows and I noticed that means I'll get to start Tiny Secret Whispers from scratch I think (I only caught a few at the end). I've yet to come across the Sea Captain though. It's a pain scrolling back 2 years' worth of clips!!
I, in my role as jackal spokesperson, declare that we are quite happy for you to take a sponsorship for corrections. Provided all profits go to ridiculous props. Have paintings commissioned, buy a billboard at Times Square, light some firework for the 52nd-episode-extravaganza (which surely must be coming up?) Anyways, the lack of budget is clearly the only thing seperating Corrections from winning an Emmy.
The best sponsorship would be a dictionary - one of the big ones. Personally I would prefer Oxford English DIctionary, the big one with aaaaall the details, but since this is an American show, I suppose Merriam-Webster would be more obvious.
I, for one, would not be happy with a sponsorship for "Corrections." I don't know who bestowed you with the title, but a real jackal spokesperson wouldn't have so many errors in the writing of a statement on behalf of jackals, including the misspelling of "separating." I look on this comment with deep suspicion. #NotMySpokesperson
@@AisuruMirai A true jackal would have spelling errors, as we do not claim perfection, we merely exist to point out the imperfections of others. My mistakes nurish you. Provide reason and meaning to your life. And for that, you are welcome.
On the Kimmel monologue with John and Andy I literally wrote a comment that just said "Seth will be pissed, Andy doesn't take his calls" and I was 💯 right! 🤣
Another one is nobody in Holy Grail ever says "I'm not dead yet." They say "I'm not dead" and another says "He's not quite dead" but nobody says "Not dead yet." And yet, it's what everyone quotes from the movie.
The Samberg call and aftermath is gold! If the events of that call were actually spontaneous, what a moment haha Have to acknowledge the extra layer - he’s telling Seth the hassles of being a talk show host, but also the specific hassle Andy describes is being trapped with guests, and Seth, who is at that moment live-ish with a guest and on a ticking timer for Corrections length, before Andy can even finish the thought, immediately displays his power to not be trapped! 😆 I picture Mr. Samberg chuckling and thinking “yeah I deserved that..” Emmy-worthy!
My cousin and I went out to dinner on our way to a concert while in our laste 20s and as we left she opened her purse as she said, "Would you like a Werther's Original?" "Where the hell did you get those?" "I got them from your house."
No way is that true? I saw the Clooney movie and some other vague research in my collage days but im a moron and am too young to remember. American fascism has some strong roots, it just festered in the shadows for a long time and half my Generation. I knew about it because they would show up at the punk shows I would go to and pick fights prior to infesting government in the 80's & 90's
Crushing it as usual Seth, a nearly perfect Corrections, but my Inner Jackal must be heard. This week you talked about how in 2003, to get back at the French, the term "Freedom Fries" circulated following the invasion of Iraq. You joked that the French retaliated by "calling American Cheese disgusting 100 years ago." 100 years before 2003 would be 1903. The proccessed cheese you showed alongside the joke that we know as American Cheese wasn't invented until 1911, eight years after 1903. Much love, Jackal out.
I love you Seth. Your show kills, and for every "Jackal" there are two honest fans of you and your work. That said, keep the hate coming because Corrections is a work of art
Do you think enemies of Seth gather to discuss pronunciation in the comments section? Jackals are like the parents he never had, that teaches him right from wrong. Jackals even knitted him a vest, as I recall. A real grandma kind of "enemy".
I just love how much fun Seth has with corrections. I think he always wanted to be a TH-camr and now he gets to do it. We only need a livestream now. As for Werthers original they also make something called Dickmann's. Just saying. But there best product is Knoppers, if you can get your hands on it, you should try it. It is market at as an alternative to a snackbar and it is just the perfect, cremy, crunchy, nutty and chocolatey snack.
The throw back to the water prop was -Pizza Hut -drink water -move the water -Pizza comment -pause then not drink -pizza hut joke about water -slow if at all drink the water -bring up “burn” then task a sip and moves -water finish Clever
Only 4 minutes in and there is SO much good content... I'm just so grateful for this team! Not a CORRECTION but a question, Meyers, how exactly did you determine The best possible hand representation for: tooth, skull, body, "and then they know" (female)?!
On the subject of Sherlock Holmes, the use of "ejaculate" is quite hilarious. For example, from The Return of Sherlock Holmes: "As Holmes turned up the lamp the light fell upon a card on the table. He glanced at it, and then, with an ejaculation of disgust, threw it on the floor."
Cake is most definitely an invention. It was of course not around in the wall-biting days of pre-history, though. The progress of confectionary technology is clear: Wheel > Fruitcake > Baked goods that cannot be substituted for wheels, i.e. cake. The origin of "Is it cake?" actually dates back to 5,000 BCE Mesopotamia, when a farmer having a problem with his two-wheeled cart was approached by an individual who believed they knew the answer. Upon determining that one of the wheels was indeed made from flour, sugar, eggs and milk without the structural stability provided by Maraschino cherries, pineapple chunks and unidentifiable pieces of presumably fruit-related plant matter, it was replaced with the exact same fruitcake you received for Christmas two years ago and in a last minute panic re-gifted to your Great Aunt Eunice last Christmas.
@@masondufresne8289 You are most welcome. It is one of the many stories of Shamashua (the individual who helped the farmer), an almost forgotten innovator of ancient times. He continued to aid his fellow man until his untimely death in 4,027 BCE. His final innovation was a revolutionary field irrigation aid. Four teams of oxen, stationed one at each of the four cardinal points of a field. The Western team was trained to walk backwards upon hearing a given command, the Eastern to walk forwards upon hearing the same command, and vice versa. The North and South likewise, albeit with different commands. All were attached by rigid poles to a boulder in the center, to which in turn was attached a furrowing device. By means of skillful issuing of the four commands, irrigation ditches could be quickly made in a field. Rudimentary images praising Ishtar (Babylonian goddess of fertility) could even be made, thus hopefully increasing a crop's yield. The earthquake that occurred immediately after Shamashua's first demonstration of his time and labor saving creation tragically resulted in his death, but while it may have erased the furrows he created, it cannot erase the fact that he invented the first Etch a Sketch.
I'd like to believe the first 'no sh!t, Sherlock' joke was made on the Hindenburg as it was going down and someone yelled, 'oh, my God! We're going to die!' and an edgy dude went 'no sh!t, Sherlock'.
I've been watching all of the corrections from start to finish. The Werner's Original bit just made me laugh so hard that I woke up my house guests at 548 am.
OMG I love the low key facetious burns on the "burnt boys" reading between the lines they get like month to plan this, and apparently didn't do much research LOL
I like how this would have been just under 20 minutes had Andy Samberg not responded since his first text comes in at 8:46 and Seth does not get back to Pizza Hut until 11:30 so it was a 2 minute and 44 second bit Also you pointed to the wrong T in START

I was in tears!
Me too 😂😂😂
Fun fact (if your interpretation of 'fun' is broad enough): we can't be sure of what the first 'book' was- though you could argue it was a series of magic spells found in Fara in Iraq dated to around 2500BCE- but we do know the first named author. A collection of hymns to the goddess Inana from the 24th Century BCE were attributed to Enheduana, a princess of the Akkadian Empire who was also a chief priestess, so the world's first author was also a woman. We can't know for sure if she wrote them, but the fact that they were credited to her is significant enough. I bet she had cake at the publishing party.
.... and then seth but the bait. Lol.
"the oldest book we now have" is not necessarily the same as "the first book".
Very interesting comment, it's great to see the level of culture of Corrections viewers.
It all depends of what you call a "book", the first signs of writings as symbols are about 100,000 years BCE, and some of them do tell stories.
An historiography of writing dates the first the first symbols from early hierorogplyhs in Egypt, symbols in Polynesia, Americas, Asia, Africa, but it was the first sumerian alphabet (derived from cuneiforms, which became drawings, which became letters) and formed the basic of the latin alphabet we use right now.
Other "alphabets" (chinese, korean, japanese, cyrillic, ....) all have their stories too
@@varanasiwalks1451 THANK YOUUU.
👍🏻
Any particular artifact that we may now have or know about is highly unlikely to be the first of its kind.
CLARIFICATION: the term "invention" typically relates to a process or device in modern parlance, so you could perhaps say the cake-making process had not yet been invented. Otherwise the earliest forms of cake would probably have been better described an "innovation", as it was a new idea for a type of bread - the ancient Egyptians are broadly credited with producing the first "cake", which would have been a sweet bread.
😂 jackline 😂 loved the clarification 😊
Jackaline...love the correction and the jackal-ine name
Wow that's some serious needling, any baker could say there was obviously a point in which the cake recipe was formed. Just as new recipes and innovative foods have been created.
You are worthy of your screen name.
Go easy, Jackaline! 😂
Literally almost spit out my water at the James Patterson punchline, so thank you for that! 😂
Thanks for picking my correction! Was my first one! Love your content so much, corrections is the best part of my waking up to use the bathroom at 3am and check my phone part of my Friday!
I love how upbeat and snarky he is during his regular show, and then just jaded and surly during Corrections
My reward for insomnia - seeing this get posted. Thank you for this segment.
Also my reward for restarting my medicine. Worth it.
My reward for getting up to piss...
3pm here in Indonasia
lol yea pretty fckin much lol. it IS a nice reward though lets be honest.
Right??? 😂😂😂
I thought yesterday was Friday and was DEVASTATED when I didn’t see Correctshuns! The relief was real when I realized my error 😂
You were corrected and were happy about it.....yep...you're a Jackal! 😂
Ya mispeeld crechtshuns. 🙄 yer whelkum!
I'd spell 'corrections' deliberately incorrectly as 'correckshuns'. But that's just me. Who's to say what the correct incorrect spelling of a word should be?
Power move! Hanging up on Andy. But he deserved it... CORRECTIONS > everything everywhere
Such a great moment lol
I loved Everything Everywhere All at Once
Big call on the movie. I'd rather have all of corrections than no Everything Everywhere, but I'd trade one for it.
Hanging up on Samberg was hilarious, but seeing Seth fall apart right after was even more hilarious.
CORRECTION FROM EARLIER TONIGHT FOR WALLY: Where's Waldo is called that in North America but is called Where's Wally in England (where it was originally written) so your Wally will need a new title for his book.
Should I correct this correction? 🤔
@@intimidatory2k I caught it! No need!
For Emmy consideration ... Seth's hang-up on Adam and his delight following.
It's gold, Jerry, gold!
I distinctly recall "Im Not Scared, You're Scared" being corrected as the first book.
It was the first book to ever feature a rabbit and a bear
First children’s book
Next time Seth shows us a copy of The Thorn Birds, it should say "The Prickle Birds"
Good one! 😅
Skills!
I was thinking about this too!!
I can totally see him taking this idea and running with it!
Wordle moves left to right irrespective of the previous row, so it actually would be the second “T” that would be gray! Thanks for making Friday mornings better!
EDIT: Agreeing with the people who think it’s bait now that I’ve seen it again! It might have been too early in the morning for me on this one 😂
I was thinking that too.
The number of times he tapped that to emphasise, I think it *has* to be deliberate.
@@mhuzzell I definitely wondered this too. But he may have made the mistake because he was looking at it upside down?
I'm thinking this was bait.
Double Correction! EarPods are what Apple calls their wired earbuds. AirPods were named after EarPods which were, in turn, named after iPods.
I was so ready for the samberg call after he did kimmel last night lol!!!
I think its important to point out that it took pizza hut only a few weeks to make a new cap while NBC still cant make some new merch.
True!
Hear, hear!
YES! And I want a t-shirt, not a mug. My Jon Stewart Daily Show tee has developed its first little hole after years of delicate wash and hang dry … 😫
14:43 Correction to this correction- Apple actually does sell a pair of wired earbuds that are called “EarPods”. So that would’ve worked.
it's like they don't even do a search for the term...
Thank you so much for this. I have been struggling with some PTSD anniversary things, and this Corrections gave me a few good, genuine laughs. They were very needed, and the chaotic energy here somehow just made life feel better.
May it last.
@@franceshinks1810 Thank you so much!
@@gmwillow Stay strong... you're worth it.
It's scarey how well that trucker hat suits Seth ! lol
So nice to hear his peers laugh at his jokes... feels like being a fly in the wall of a house where they're having a get together... 😁
That hang up was savage 🤣
Air Bud actually got famous BECAUSE of Late Night - the movie Air Bud was written because Buddy (the dog who could shoot basketball) got famous for that trick after appearing on the David Letterman segment 'Stupid Pet Tricks'
let's get this Emmy, Seth & team!! 🏆
22 minutes though, I dont think this season will make the cut
Yes I was worried about also that when he fell asleep.
This absolutely had me questioning reality because I would have sworn you put the soup in a FedEx mailing envelope, not a box. I went back and checked before calling you out 🤣🤣 small box ✅
Speaking of the Mandela effect…
Same...
It was a prrreeeeeetttty slim 'box' tbf.
Yo which video was it again where he did the FedEx soup?
@@kokohale the last corrections before this one
Seth Meyers = GOAT
The secret to a perfect Werner Herzog impression: 80% German, 10% Canadian, 10% non-offensive respectful Native American.
The commercial could be a badly dubbed redo of the Mandalorian scene where he says, "I would like to see the candy."
This is the type of in depth character analysis you can only get over a 6-week program at impressions camp.
That's perfect.
If it had been written with upper and lower case, then the plural for CD would be CDs. However, they wrote it all in caps, in which case the apostrophe is used for clarification: CD'S. Without it, it appears as a whole new initialism. But it would have been best to use upper and lower (CDs).
From Wikipedia:
'Following an evolution in usage in the 20th century, today "the apostrophe of plurality continues in at least five areas":abbreviations, letters of the alphabet/small words, numbers, family names, and in non-standard use.'
I would argue that the apostrophe for the abbreviation 'CD' can be considered appropriate here.
Got on here to defend the CD'S usage and was happy to see that someone already had.
So it's OK to make a mistake, as long as someone else agrees? Wikipedia, the home made dictionary?
@@ramblerdave1339 It’s not just Wikipedia (and they were quoting from other sources on Wikipedia anyway). In this instance it was acceptable… though as a writer and designer, I’d have opted for the less clunky CDs. But maybe Seth’s graphics dept. knows this and just wanted to be chastised. You know how they are!
@@ramblerdave1339 I removed the annotation to the citation, but the cited quote was from:
Fontaine, Lise, eds. (2018). The Oxford Companion to the English Language (2nd ed.). Oxford University Press. p. 44 and 433.
While I like the twenty-two minute corrections, it also makes me sad to know that next week they will have to make that time up and we will get a seventeen minute corrections. Seth, please watch the time. We need that Emmy. Yes, WE. It belongs to all of us.
Nice to see the prime directive of corrections is still operational;
...to get free apparel.
This is the best corrections so far. Literally laughed out loud multiple times. Loved the Samberg section.
I snorted and laughed so hard at him hanging up on samberg. Poor Andy! Shame seth, for shaaaame on you! 😂
I think that's justified revenge for him not picking up in ages :D
Andy deserves it 😂 he hasn't been available for weeks now
Cake is absolutely an invention. All the mechanics of baking had to be discovered, fire had to be tamed, utensils and other tools developed. You think just any extant species can just waltz right up and whip up a cake on the spot? There is a whole chain of R&D before you unlock Cake Technology, brother.
Seth said Andy wouldn't hang out with him, but he does every Corrections. He is on his desk and his doink fell off.
That's Michael Cera I think
@@jemert96 it's Andy.
The art of hanging up on a friend with good comedic timing is clearly something Seth has mastered
What are the chances it was pre-planned?
Corrections is my absolute favourite thing on the Internet.
I love corrections! I watch Seth every day and I like to try to guess what's going to make it in that week's corrections.
Maybe a little late to offer a correction on the Werther's Original graphic, but the graphics department showed the toffees being fired from the gun with their wrappers still on. Apparently the act of firing toffees from an artillery piece strips the wrappers off, as happened in the legendary New Zealand Royal Artillery Lolly Scramble of 1958. Mike Dakin recalls "The Waiouru gun, a 3.7-inch mountain gun ( a small howitzer) actually fired lollies on Gunners' Day, 26 May 1958," he says. "Yes, they were Mackintosh's toffees; the problem was not that the kids were peppered by lollies, but that the sweets had the paper wrapping stripped from them. One of the little ingrates gave me a hard time over that. Yes it was I who fired the gun, the kids well behind the muzzle."
Seth, I agree that meeting the first person who said "no sh*t, Sherlock" as a joke would be amazing, but I think you may be equally interested in having dinner with the first person to ever say it. According to a 19th-century diary held in the University of New Hampshire Archives, Sherlock Holmes set-off on holiday in the Spring of 1892 traveling by train from Bombay to Calcutta. After a large breakfast of spiced omelets, Sherlock excused himself and went looking for the gentleman's lavatory. In his haste he ended up in a small smoking room with his trousers down, sitting on a chair that had been set aside for re-caning. It was at this moment a young attendant entered and shouted "Koee shauch nahin! Koee shauch nahin, Sherlock!" The bewildered occupants of the car burst into laughter. Seeing Sherlock's confusion, a well-meaning passenger with minimal translation skills voiced the first-known utterance of what is now a common phrase.
Sensing the potential damage to his reputation, Sherlock paid handsomely to keep the details suppressed. To his relief, the context was lost. However the phrase was irrepressible and quickly took on a life of its own.
Love you getting a little drunk doing these Corrections!
Seth hanging up on Samberg is always amazing.
Starting corrections by attacking trekkies ... a brave move..
Yeah, we deserve it. We're the nerds who argue about whether it's "trekkie" or "trekker".
NERDS!!!
Lazy, though. Low-hanging fruit.
Is it, though?
@@DennisMoore664 I presume you're a Trekker?
To be fair, "Relics" was a great episode that confronts how we cope as we age and in many ways we stay the same while the world changes around us.
Unrelated but I wonder if Tiny Secret Whispers was renewed by Bytternyt and if we'll get a weekly recap from Seth for S2😝
Sadly, I believe it was a limited series.
I still have to catch up with a lot of the pandemic episodes of Seth's shows and I noticed that means I'll get to start Tiny Secret Whispers from scratch I think (I only caught a few at the end). I've yet to come across the Sea Captain though. It's a pain scrolling back 2 years' worth of clips!!
Seth hanging up on Andy was so damn funny 😂 and him trying not to break after was classic
I, in my role as jackal spokesperson, declare that we are quite happy for you to take a sponsorship for corrections. Provided all profits go to ridiculous props. Have paintings commissioned, buy a billboard at Times Square, light some firework for the 52nd-episode-extravaganza (which surely must be coming up?)
Anyways, the lack of budget is clearly the only thing seperating Corrections from winning an Emmy.
Or Seth could form a NPO like Trump and have a portrait made of himself. (Seth, that is, not Trump. Trump's already got one.)
The best sponsorship would be a dictionary - one of the big ones. Personally I would prefer Oxford English DIctionary, the big one with aaaaall the details, but since this is an American show, I suppose Merriam-Webster would be more obvious.
Could be quite fun to be sponsored by a dictionary in a language few Americans understand, like Danish, Vietnamese, or Võro.
I, for one, would not be happy with a sponsorship for "Corrections." I don't know who bestowed you with the title, but a real jackal spokesperson wouldn't have so many errors in the writing of a statement on behalf of jackals, including the misspelling of "separating." I look on this comment with deep suspicion. #NotMySpokesperson
@@AisuruMirai A true jackal would have spelling errors, as we do not claim perfection, we merely exist to point out the imperfections of others.
My mistakes nurish you. Provide reason and meaning to your life. And for that, you are welcome.
I live for Andy's quickness to create characters and sing on the spot. Eternal life is mine when Seth hangs up on him 😍
we get samberg!?! that was great. belly laugh all the way. i love corrections
Congratulations Seth, you have reached peak German pronunciation with “Werther’s” and “Werner’s”. This made me ridiculously happy.
Corrections is one of my favourite parts of Fridays. Thank you, Seth.
Not for most of us. For us, it's a favorite.
On the Kimmel monologue with John and Andy I literally wrote a comment that just said "Seth will be pissed, Andy doesn't take his calls" and I was 💯 right! 🤣
Another one is nobody in Holy Grail ever says "I'm not dead yet." They say "I'm not dead" and another says "He's not quite dead" but nobody says "Not dead yet." And yet, it's what everyone quotes from the movie.
"I think I'll go for a walk..."
"You're not fooling anyone"
@@krcmaine I FEEL HAPPY!!!
It’s in the musical though. There’s a whole song - “not dead yet”
I always watch the clips of Late Night, here on TH-cam. However, "Corrections", is my favorite time of the week! :) Keep up the great work!
Ohhh thank goodness!! I was worried I was gonna have to go to sleep without watching this!
The Samberg call and aftermath is gold! If the events of that call were actually spontaneous, what a moment haha
Have to acknowledge the extra layer - he’s telling Seth the hassles of being a talk show host, but also the specific hassle Andy describes is being trapped with guests, and Seth, who is at that moment live-ish with a guest and on a ticking timer for Corrections length, before Andy can even finish the thought, immediately displays his power to not be trapped! 😆 I picture Mr. Samberg chuckling and thinking “yeah I deserved that..” Emmy-worthy!
My cousin and I went out to dinner on our way to a concert while in our laste 20s and as we left she opened her purse as she said, "Would you like a Werther's Original?"
"Where the hell did you get those?"
"I got them from your house."
did I miss the punchline here
@@YarrBr0 Yes.
@@YarrBr0 Just that I was confused she had Werther's and she had taken them from my house was even weirder. Just a story. Nothing more.
I smile when i see a 22 min corrections like I got a text from my crush.
whenever Seth mentions the jackals, I think of Senator Joseph McCarthy calling Ed Murrow the leader of the jackal pack
No way is that true? I saw the Clooney movie and some other vague research in my collage days but im a moron and am too young to remember. American fascism has some strong roots, it just festered in the shadows for a long time and half my Generation. I knew about it because they would show up at the punk shows I would go to and pick fights prior to infesting government in the 80's & 90's
Crushing it as usual Seth, a nearly perfect Corrections, but my Inner Jackal must be heard.
This week you talked about how in 2003, to get back at the French, the term "Freedom Fries" circulated following the invasion of Iraq. You joked that the French retaliated by "calling American Cheese disgusting 100 years ago."
100 years before 2003 would be 1903. The proccessed cheese you showed alongside the joke that we know as American Cheese wasn't invented until 1911, eight years after 1903.
Much love, Jackal out.
I love you Seth. Your show kills, and for every "Jackal" there are two honest fans of you and your work. That said, keep the hate coming because Corrections is a work of art
I am a big fan, and also an unrepentant jackal.
Jackals are honest fans, we just push Seth because we love him.
Do you think enemies of Seth gather to discuss pronunciation in the comments section?
Jackals are like the parents he never had, that teaches him right from wrong.
Jackals even knitted him a vest, as I recall. A real grandma kind of "enemy".
I love jackels
@@mariyamwaniki And mostly, I don't like trolls, but I'm gonna give it to you, this comment was beautiful.
Looking forward to the 90 minute, full-feature Corrections at the end of the year…
I just love how much fun Seth has with corrections. I think he always wanted to be a TH-camr and now he gets to do it. We only need a livestream now.
As for Werthers original they also make something called Dickmann's. Just saying. But there best product is Knoppers, if you can get your hands on it, you should try it. It is market at as an alternative to a snackbar and it is just the perfect, cremy, crunchy, nutty and chocolatey snack.
The throw back to the water prop was
-Pizza Hut
-drink water
-move the water
-Pizza comment
-pause then not drink
-pizza hut joke about water
-slow if at all drink the water
-bring up “burn” then task a sip and moves
-water finish
Clever
Only 4 minutes in and there is SO much good content... I'm just so grateful for this team! Not a CORRECTION but a question, Meyers, how exactly did you determine The best possible hand representation for: tooth, skull, body, "and then they know" (female)?!
On the subject of Sherlock Holmes, the use of "ejaculate" is quite hilarious. For example, from The Return of Sherlock Holmes: "As Holmes turned up the lamp the light fell upon a card on the table. He glanced at it, and then, with an ejaculation of disgust, threw it on the floor."
Cake is most definitely an invention. It was of course not around in the wall-biting days of pre-history, though.
The progress of confectionary technology is clear:
Wheel > Fruitcake > Baked goods that cannot be substituted for wheels, i.e. cake.
The origin of "Is it cake?" actually dates back to 5,000 BCE Mesopotamia, when a farmer having a problem with his two-wheeled cart was approached by an individual who believed they knew the answer. Upon determining that one of the wheels was indeed made from flour, sugar, eggs and milk without the structural stability provided by Maraschino cherries, pineapple chunks and unidentifiable pieces of presumably fruit-related plant matter, it was replaced with the exact same fruitcake you received for Christmas two years ago and in a last minute panic re-gifted to your Great Aunt Eunice last Christmas.
This is an amazing story thank you for sharing!
@@masondufresne8289 You are most welcome.
It is one of the many stories of Shamashua (the individual who helped the farmer), an almost forgotten innovator of ancient times.
He continued to aid his fellow man until his untimely death in 4,027 BCE. His final innovation was a revolutionary field irrigation aid.
Four teams of oxen, stationed one at each of the four cardinal points of a field. The Western team was trained to walk backwards upon hearing a given command, the Eastern to walk forwards upon hearing the same command, and vice versa. The North and South likewise, albeit with different commands. All were attached by rigid poles to a boulder in the center, to which in turn was attached a furrowing device.
By means of skillful issuing of the four commands, irrigation ditches could be quickly made in a field. Rudimentary images praising Ishtar (Babylonian goddess of fertility) could even be made, thus hopefully increasing a crop's yield.
The earthquake that occurred immediately after Shamashua's first demonstration of his time and labor saving creation tragically resulted in his death, but while it may have erased the furrows he created, it cannot erase the fact that he invented the first Etch a Sketch.
Cake is definitely one of the finest inventions of anyone’s lifetime.
I'd like to believe the first 'no sh!t, Sherlock' joke was made on the Hindenburg as it was going down and someone yelled, 'oh, my God! We're going to die!' and an edgy dude went 'no sh!t, Sherlock'.
An edge lord finally gets his day!
I've been dying for a Not So Great Sponsor bit!
Corrections is the best way to kick off the weekend.
how can pizza hut make hats for you before you can make the mugs ? god that merc department is slow
I've been watching all of the corrections from start to finish. The Werner's Original bit just made me laugh so hard that I woke up my house guests at 548 am.
Best one: „i really wanna thank all my writers. All jokes aside.“
OMG I love the low key facetious burns on the "burnt boys" reading between the lines they get like month to plan this, and apparently didn't do much research LOL
I like how this would have been just under 20 minutes had Andy Samberg not responded since his first text comes in at 8:46 and Seth does not get back to Pizza Hut until 11:30 so it was a 2 minute and 44 second bit
Also you pointed to the wrong T in START
thank you for this. I think I haven't laughed harder in a while. Seth hanging up on Samberg like that.
we love you Seth!
