One of my favorite things about Seth is how often he allows himself to laugh at his own jokes. He's having *fun* and it's contagious. I'm grinning like an idiot in public after he hung up on Andy and completely lost it 😂
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...🏆🥇
As a librarian and archaeologist, major props for the James Patterson joke -- that one had me in tears! And as an archaeologist, I feel obligated to tell you that although cake couldn't have been "invented," domesticated wheat, chickens, and cows were far from a reality. So unless the Denisovan's idea of a cake was scavenged meats layered with wild berries, I'm afraid cake is off the table.

Corrections has been a lifesaver for me. I’ve been in a terrible depressive episode for months and Corrections is something I can consistently look forward to every Friday and Seth always makes me laugh and smile. I’m finally coming out of it but I’m still on the road to recovery. Thanks Seth for always putting a smile on my face.
I suffer from depression, anxiety and insomnia to boot. Laughing and music saves me on a lot of gloomy days. This is why I’m here too :D. Take care! 🕊 You got this..♥️
Glad to hear you're getting better, Sherman! I myself look forward every week to watching this slow-paced, passive-aggressive nerd show. The way it is underplayed always leaves me with the feeling of a bit of residual chuckle in my stomach. I even made my own fan merch, being in private a bit of a jackal myself (a nerd and an enthusiastic language connoisseur).
btw I need to read that book by Zola, forgot what it's called though. Le Bete a Humaine or something? I think. And my copy had a painting of a train on the front cover.
I think I laugh more during "Corrections" than I do the rest of the entire week. Which is either a damning indictment on my life in general, or unduly high praise for Corrections. I fear this answer above all others.
I like that it has the feel of him just killing time and riffing casually almost in a 'backstage' manner. LIke the show doesn't start for 20 minutes so he just starts shooting the breeze with whomever is in the studio at the time, lol.
Yes!!! Over 22 minutes! Any other jackals have a little moment of panic when he said he was irked and you were afraid it was because of one of your corrections? Huge sigh of relief when it turned out to be Andy's fault. WOO HOO!!! I made Corrections!!! He's mentioned my corrections before but I was never sure if it was my comment or someone else's. I'm the one that mentioned all the "Ya Burnt!" corrections, although he only mentioned about 2 of them from about 7.

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
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. He ordered a calzone pizza and they just made him a regular pizza and folded it in half in front of him. He tells this story better than me, he weaves in lots of funny anecdotes. Anyhow.

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 😂
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?
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."
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'
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

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, 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.
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.
It's not Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. It's Arthur Conan Doyle, because he's dead. The title "Sir" is only applied to the living (when you die, you cease to be a knight).
@@EmpyreanLightASMR Yep, but it's true: Jimmy Savile was a British DJ & TV host who was knighted for services to charity. After his death evidence emerged that he was also one of the UK's most prolific sexual abusers. There was a massive public movement to have his knighthood revoked until someone pointed out that it expires when you die, anyway.
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!!
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.
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.

@@varanasiwalks1451 THANK YOUUU.
👍🏻
Any particular artifact that we may now have or know about is highly unlikely to be the first of its kind.
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. He ordered a calzone pizza and they just made him a regular pizza and folded it in half in front of him. He tells this story better than me, he weaves in lots of funny anecdotes. Anyhow. Have a great weekend. All the very best, Christopher (London)
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? 🤔
Wally’s book will be called “Where’s Waldo” for England instead of “Where’s Wally”.
@@intimidatory2k I caught it! No need!
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 … 😫
I literally laughed so hard at Seth hanging up on Sandberg
I was in tears!
Me too 😂😂😂
so NOT a CORRECTION - can we just have some appreciation for the hilarious "half of a note" 'name that tune' in the "Madison Cawthorn Ousted" Closer Look this week - - I mean, seriously *hilarious* - every.single.bit - including, especially, Seth's reaction to the SECOND attempt to do the music punchtime (oh Seth, that extended 'rethinking my entire existence look' - wanted to give you a big hug buddy - too busy laughing...) (was that deliberate? no? yes? - don't care - either way just *PERFECT* comedy
The 8 mile joke that went haywire was hilarious!
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.
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.
This was such a GOOD one! I probably woke up my roommate laughing so loud hahaha. Tough day at work, needed this. Thanks
Watch at .75 speed for drunk seth
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 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
That hang up was savage 🤣
Double Correction! EarPods are what Apple calls their wired earbuds. AirPods were named after EarPods which were, in turn, named after iPods.
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?
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?

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.
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."
Literally almost spit out my water at the James Patterson punchline, so thank you for that! 😂
Seth Meyers = GOAT
For Emmy consideration ... Seth's hang-up on Adam and his delight following.
It's gold, Jerry, gold!
It's scarey how well that trucker hat suits Seth ! lol
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'
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...
how can pizza hut make hats for you before you can make the mugs ? god that merc department is slow
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.
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”
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!
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.
If I can have dinner with anyone, living or dead, I would prefer them to be living! 😂
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.
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.
Best one: „i really wanna thank all my writers. All jokes aside.“
Corrections is my absolute favourite thing on the Internet.
Cake is definitely one of the finest inventions of anyone’s lifetime.
First book: ‘How make cake’. Second book: ‘Rock not Cake’
I will jackal the jackal: Inspector Gadget first ran from 1983-1986.
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.
It's not Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. It's Arthur Conan Doyle, because he's dead. The title "Sir" is only applied to the living (when you die, you cease to be a knight).
Wait, then literally thousands of articles and journals are wrong! Wow! Not just Doyle, but with a whole slew of former knights
@@EmpyreanLightASMR Yep, but it's true: Jimmy Savile was a British DJ & TV host who was knighted for services to charity. After his death evidence emerged that he was also one of the UK's most prolific sexual abusers. There was a massive public movement to have his knighthood revoked until someone pointed out that it expires when you die, anyway.
@@stevecassidy3222 Yeah, in researching your comment (I was curious), basically every article on that creep popped up lol
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.
Seth, your Werner's section sounds suspiciously like Jon Malkovich was reading it... und I like it.

Ask John Oliver about Air Bud. He knows everything about it.
Technically, he could. Bcuz there ain't no rule against it
Technically, he could. Bcuz there ain't no rule against it.
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!!
I smile when i see a 22 min corrections like I got a text from my crush.
If I could go back in time and meet anyone living or dead, it would 100% be someone that’s living?

"Madison Cawthorn" ... she's apparently changing her name to Madison Cawprickle.
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.
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?
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:

Seth hanging up on Samberg is always amazing.
It's funny that all you got out of that 'female tooth in the wall' story, is that you imagined a woman thinking a wall was something she had never experienced before.... but it was more likely, that her head had been crushed so hard against a wall that one of her teeth was actually lodged into solid rock.... but CAKE 🎂 amirite, nom nom!

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.

@@gmwillow Stay strong... you're worth it.
Next week is the 50th corrections btw
wow! that doesn't sound right
English major and word nerd here… You would absolutely put an apostrophe in CDs. The other option is to use a lowercase S. Both are acceptable and necessary for clarity in an acronym.
The lowercase S would be better than the apostrophe.
"English major word nerd"s should know that CD is an initialism not an acronym.
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
Looking forward to the 90 minute, full-feature Corrections at the end of the year…
John Oliver went on a rant about Air Bud recently, in on online exclusive
Congratulations Seth, you have reached peak German pronunciation with “Werther’s” and “Werner’s”. This made me ridiculously happy.
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!
So according to you, Sherlock Holmes sounds like Theo Von lolol
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?"

@@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.

CORRECTION FOR MILLI VANILLI LIP SYNC CORRECTION
According to VH1’s Behind the Music on Milli Vanilli (1997), the infamous skip did not repeat on “you,” nor “Girl, you know.” The track begins skipping by repeating after the lyric “it’s.”
Band member Robert Pilates confirmed in the VH1 episode the track looped as “Girl, you know it’s| :||” he estimated the track skipped approximately 15 times before he ran off stage in embarrassment, followed by MTV VJ Julie Brown.
Below is the July ‘89 Bristol, CT performance where the full, correct skip is heard: “Girl, you know it’s| :||”

Why was it "infamous"?
@@pipster1891 great question! The skip in question is infamous because is well known for its dreadfulness.
