• CORRECTIONS Episode 63...
Late Night with Seth Meyers
/ latenightseth
I'm sorry to say that on next week's corrections you will have to say "I got waxing and waning exactly backwards." Waxing is when the moon is getting bigger, waning is when it is getting smaller. Love the show.
Damn, someone is always faster... :) But we have to count in the possibility that Seth *wants* this by now, that he sneaks in inaccuracies on purpose, because he really put this one on thick, didn't he...
Exactly. It’s like he specifically tried to punk is by spending extra time just to get it wrong over and over.
Waning is easy to remember when we think of something like “interest”. Such as “My interest in Corrections is waning.”
@@sepiae like graphics used to? 😂😂
Yeah, every time he said it backwards I was like, "That can't be right." Double-checked, and yup, not right.
Think of phrases like "a waning smile", which means a smile that's fading away. Though, now I'm getting a waxing smile just thinking about the phrase "a waxing smile". 🌝
@@sepiae I figured he did it on purpose, too.
2:04 lf there was no winch handy, there would have to be a winch-hunt like nobody has ever seen before.
Only 12 minutes? Let’s try to get it back up to 20 please- consistency is key
It certainly seems to be waning shorter each week
Waxing shorter according to Seth
And that's Seth's master plan to get the runtime back up. Intentional Mistakes.
Northwestern is going to revoke his degree unless he fesses up.
Corrections has become
Corruptions.
The novelty is wearing off.
It felt like 20 though
The flag joke was a slow burn, loved it
Are you from Maryland? I thought not! Seth didn't even mention how the flag of Maryland is actually derived from Lord Baltimore's family crest. blah blah blah blah blah
And he just throws it on the floor? Well let me you something............................................lol!
Seth is holding the Maryland flag upside down!!! (-_-;)
Oooh my favorite jackal moment…
According to United States Code found in Title 4, Chapter 1 pertaining to patriotic customs and observances:
§8(k) The flag, when it is in such condition that it is no longer a fitting emblem for display, should be destroyed, preferably by burning.
Seth was burned. 🔥 😂
@@VideoNozoki no he's not. fake fan smh
@@magica3526 how do you tell? What if it is aired in Australia? What symmetry classes are we talking about? Questions, so many questions....
Somehow I’m tired of everyone elses Trump imitation but Seth’s 100% every time cracks me up because he actually says something funny with the imitation
Same, I can’t stand the other comedians versions but Seth’s can stand the test of time
I agree, Seth's is among, if not, the best! He puts a comedic, slightly exaggerated, spin on the impression, but still sounds enough like the real trump that the result is top notch hilarity and shenanigans...lol.
As far as spot on dead accurate, to the point he could call FoxNews and they wouldn't be able to tell, and he doesn't do it often, he was just having a few drinks on some podcast when it went viral, but have you heard Jamie Foxx do his trump, it's scary how accurate it was.
agreed. Seth is one of the all-around best comic impressionist in the business
Seth's trump is remarkably self-aware, and likable, which is in and of itself absolutely hilarious in contrast.
Yes. It's just one of many things he's doing FAR better than Colbert these days. I never thought I would think Seth was better than Stephen. I'm afraid to check if Fallon is better than Colbert now. 🤦♂🤦♂🤦♂️
I love how you doubled down on the definitions of waxing and waning! I cringed the first time and the second time I just shook my head...
I feel like he has to be baiting us sometimes, right? 😅
@@jossminion His writers have to be doing some of them on purpose.
@@ecamp6360 Seth writes Corrections, though
@@jossminion Yeah, sometimes Seth likes to pretend he's Elon Musk 😂
I think he did it for the “wax on, wane off” punchline.
The first syllable of Aldi rhymes with "fall" not "fail". They say it like "fall" in their own commercials. You were right the first time.
The Australian adds they say aildi not alldi, so it prob depends on where u at and how much u care lol
@@phraydedjez It's a german brand and it's pronounced "ahl-di"
@@SwiftestScout Yes i know, its good different lol, this is a funny thread
Yep. Seth was right the first time. I’ve only heard it pronounced Ahl-dees (all-dees).
@LeftyBlue - Okay but what weird accent would have “fail” rhyming with the first syllable of “Al Bundy”? Are you Australian?
In Mary Shelly's novel, Frankenstein's creation did not throw the girl into the river. She slipped and he rescued her. Some men from the village assumed he had thrown her in and told everyone he did. The villagers ostracised and persecuted a sensitive soul purely because he was different and their behaviour cannot be excused
Yes!! Came here to say this! In Shelley's book, Frankenstein's creation begins as a gentle creature but is constantly abused by mankind and becomes fearful, lashing out defensively. To me, it's a horror novel because it holds up a mirror to mankind's cruelty.
_The villagers ostracised and persecuted a sensitive soul purely because he was different and their behaviour cannot be excused_
Sort of like what Seth does with Wally, huh? :)
Yep, the little girl hands him a flower then falls into the pond, he then picks her up and the villagers find him and assume he has harmed her.
@@lb5368 i wouldn't call him starting out as a gentle soul, more like as your standard incel.
I love when people say “it’s Frankenstein’s monster, Frankenstein wasn’t the monster.” Dude, pretty sure he was.
I love how he’s like “waxing and waning is a conversation starter!” Oh- you done started a conversation all right!
Jackals!! Assemble.
I figured that was a dig at the claim that Dave Chapelle's vaguely antisemitic SNL monologue was a "conversation starter." Saying something that's problematic and getting people worked up does not create a "conversation." Okay, maybe among jackals, but that's on us.
How to remember the difference between waxing and bleaching?
@@RVCfilm I thought it was a bid to repackage #corrections as "conversation starters" 😂
@@RVCfilm "Saying something that is problematic and getting people worked up does not create a 'conversation'"
That's an incredibly broad, presumptive statement. If hearing something "problematic" gets a person "worked up", that is their problem. When I hear something provocative, I don't get worked up, I get contemplative... And I start having conversations. As much of America, to their credit, has been doing since those remarks. As Jon Stewart has said that people should and (probably) would. I'm not trying to be a jerk about it, just wondering how such a broad, presumptive, and reductive statement came from a self-proclaimed jackal. I'm glad SNL proved they still have open arms for provocateurs. They serve to expose people who's support of free speech is soft... And "conditional".
@@TroubleToby3040 "There are a lot of Jews in Hollywood but we're not allowed to say so" made you contemplative? I'm not even going to ask what that made you contemplate. People who say, "I know I'm not supposed to say this but..." are very much like people who say, "I'm not a racist but..." Whatever follows isn't going to be insightful.
Credit where credit is due... that "burn the flag" joke is GOLD.
CORRECTION: You cannot talk about phases of the moon this much without mentioning that the counterpart to a crescent moon is a gibbous moon. Because I want to watch your best effort at saying 'gibbous'.
Oh, that will be delicious!! Seth, please please please bring gibbous into the phases conversation 😁
Also, don't forget about balsamic moons! Although, now that I think about it, I think a waning crescent IS the balsamic moon.
@@lb5368 5 bucks he would make a 'i like the cut of your gibbous' joke
@@lb5368 There's gonna end up being a gibbon joke in there
My bar name is Wayne Gibbous
The best thing that happened last week was on Wednesday’s episode- the faces Seth made when the audience “wooed” at the Chippendales movie and at Pete Davidson. His expression of disapproval and disgust at the ladies responding to both those things was hilarious😆
agreed - also noted & appreciated (best thing? working long hours, into the evening, haven't caught up on all shows... 🙃)
*Magic Mike
That was the face of a disappointed dad.
@@elbruces Is Seth the Dad of the jackals? Are we all in our teenage years, sophomorically besotted with higher education but full of that aggressive need to separate our familial identities by proving Dad wrong?
@@geekdivaherself
Probably, sure.
Corrections is such a treat for Friday mornings!
Correction it’s currently 5pm Friday in the cool hemisphere. We’re all wearing sunglasses and driving convertibles
It really is!
@@lordcaptain73 LOVE IT! - yes, we are all doing that ! 🙃
here in Aotearoa/New Zealand, it's an Friday evening thing - which is an *awesome* way to end the week
Nevada/Nevada is a great rhyme for Cicada/Cicada. It must be in the title song!!!
Seriously this segment is just gold
Yes but has it lost its way when Seth is not in fact correcting himself but making new points? The poor man seems on the edge of texting "u up?" to the sea captain.
@@NateEngle That's the nature of these types of things.. When you have a segment that you correct yourself it gets old because people start to just troll you so at some point you just go along with it and either play dumb or play smart etc. Much funnier when he's not pretending to actually care what people say every single time and instead goes along with it and trolls them back
Hi, Seth! Love the idea about a movie starring John, Jim, and the gopher!
CORRECTION: Gophers don't live in forests though. They live in prairies and woodlands (less dense than forests). Since they live mostly underground, they need areas with sparser vegetation that would allow burrowing. Too many trees, too many roots, not enough space for tunnels.
P.S., when I was a high school teacher I coached an academic event called "Current Issues and Events," and I would watch clips of A Closer Look with my students after school most weeks to get a brief (and humorous) take on political news. They loved you much more than Trevor Noah! lol
And you can remember it because when someone says, "Seth, your popularity is waning," that's not a good thing.
I think you're forgetting that John and Jim got lost. The gopher might not live in the forest, but they ended up there anyway. It was not said who the gopher was, so they could have been the mayor who John and Jim were protecting. They could have been aiming to go home to the prairie, but found themselves in the forest instead.
@@coletteb.8889 Or I guess they could have ended up in Maryland again, but now with something to do.
Jackaling the jackal (biologist here). True that most gopher species are found in prairies, but woodland vs forest is not a technical distinction and gophers are sometimes found in forests, especially pine forests.
Hi! 👋🏼ohhh err wait 😂
as a german where ALDI is from I want to say: the correct way to say it is "HULL-DEE" and drop the H.
If I said that nobody would have any idea what I was talking about.
Seth knows how to pronounce Amsterdam in Dutch. It's not Emsterdem!
And he's probably saying ELDIs on purpose, instead of ALDI, just like he keeps on saying LEGOs instead of LEGO. 😆
It wouldn't be the first time someone corrected him about a pronunciation when theirs wasn't right either.
The difference between ull and Al is pretty slight, in the scheme of things.
To eliminate any remaining confusion: Aldi is short for Albrecht Diskont. Albrecht is the name of the family who owns the chain and Diskont means, you guessed it, discount.
Albrecht is very much pronounced like, ok that sound doesn't even exist in English, the important part it though, the Al- part of the word is indeed pronounced like "hull" without the H.
Do I regret watching this in the middle of a crowded airport? No. I think my inexplicable laughter brightened other people's day. 😛
It only took eight and a half years for Seth's desk to be leveled and his pencil no longer rolls from one side of the desk to the other! Poor man chased that pencil for years!
Undoubtedly the leveling was part of the Biden Infrastructure package.
Dark Brandon does it again
Seth managed to level it himself with the weight of all his toys.
I KNEW someone was going to challenge whether it was a Harley or not! As soon as he did the joke I could hear the jackals typing. I couldn't tell personally
"I'm not Lou Ferigno" made me genuinely laugh out loud. This is why Seth is my absolute favourite. Love ya, Hulk.
My correction made it in!!!! This jackal is happy ❤
Remember to watch at .75 speed for the drunk seth experience
OMG - that is HILARIOUS, so on the nose!
Lmao 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 dead
OMG BEST ADVICE!
Omg this is the best advise I've received in a long time
I watched it again at this speed and laughed even more, even though I knew the jokes were coming
This is the trick I learned to remember what phase of the moon it is and it involves French, so approved by Seth's mother: f you can make a p of the moon it's the premier (first) quarter, if you can turn it into a d it's the dernier (last) quarter.
Brilliant.
Thank you!! Merci!!
doesn't work on the other side of the world though! (maybe it does and the reason it's flipped in H2O: Just Add Water is because of the camera. that show, which is filmed Down Under, is my only source for this claim)
Hi Late night crew, long time watcher first time jackal. Frankenstein related correction. On this week’s corrections your referred to the character Igor but it is actually Fritz who is hunchbacked assistant in the first universal Frankenstein movie. Igor doesn’t appear until Son of Frankenstein.
As an american now living in germany and having frequented the Aldi supermarket in both countries I can confirm that it is pronounced All-Dee, at least that's how it's pronounced here in Germany, where it is originally from, the supermarket started in Essen in the 1940's, so the Al-bun-dy pronounciation thing is jus an americanization of it. There's actually a bit of drama surrounding the Aldi chain, as it is split into Aldi South and North, the founding brothers had disagreements, google it :D, but that's another thing. This pronunciation thing is similar to american's thinking that Adidas is pronounced a-dee-daz, when it's really ah-dee-das.
The TH-camr “German Girl in America” (now “Feli from Germany” I think) did a video about both of these brand pronunciations.
@@lynnhettrick7588 ...Yes I just watched that!! It sounds like Germans pronounce the "A" in that word more like we say "I" and they speak fairly fast, so when she said ALDI, it almost sounded like "ID"
@@lynnhettrick7588 And if I remember correctly, the other side of the company came to the US first and owns the Trader Joe's chain.
@@sunshynff That might just be her accent. I learned high German in high school. “A” is “ah” like “all-dee.” I remember thinking that she said things slightly different from how I’d pronounce them, but I’m not a native speaker.
@@edwardblair4096 Yes, that sounds familiar. I think you’re right.
Seth is mixing and matching details from the movie "Frankenstein" and Shelley's 1818 novel.
Yes, basically everything he says is not in the novel.
To be honest, though, pop culture mixes them anyway. Most people refer to the movie, from what I've noticed. Or just don't know what it is, and you can mix it up with Young Frankenstein and no one knows and... it's a sad kind of funny.
@@maxfieldstanton4541 PUT ZE CANDEL BEK!
I mean---Igor didn't show up till . . . the third movie? In the first Karloff flick the guy's name is Fritz.
@@actual_nonsense possibly the funniest scene for some reason.
There’s no way Seth didn’t flip waxing and waning on purpose.
It was for the punchline.
It’s for a punchline in next week’s corrections.
As he was doing it you could see him thinking, there's 5 minutes of next week's Corrections taken care of right there...!
I'm probably missing something, but I thought the entire point of the segment is that he mocks us for correcting him by still getting it wrong. 🤔
And no way he didn’t intentionally say “Eegor” instead of “Eyegor” 😅
50% chance that mob of villagers were just gonna sacrifice the girl to the Wheat God anyway.
#Correction: Henry Frankenstein gives the one job to Fritz. "Igor" (actually Ygor) is a character who shows up much later in the Universal _Frankenstein_ canon as a criminal with a broken neck from a botched hanging. Unless you're talking about Igor from _Young Frankenstein_ in which case, it's pronounced eye-gore.
Wait, they said it was "ee-gore".
What hump?
@@cobrasys well they were wrong, then, weren't they?
@@joehemmann1156 Go fetch me a "normal" brain, then!
I heard the waxing and waning moon mistake and thought many people would have burned Seth for it by now. Well, I wasn't disappointed.🐺
Damn, imagine being a Marylander and getting your flag featured and burned two episodes in a row XD
I am & it's all in fun. We don't care. We hit the trifecta w our election of dems.
'S Ok. The MD flag is the best flag and if someone can't take a little ribbing, they're probably a bit insecure. Also, yay MD voters!
Honestly, it should probably be burned for more reasons that Seth goes into
Waxing means growing, which may be hard to remember. But it's easy to remember that waning means lessening; you can use the mnemonic "After this simple error, my trust in your factual accuracy of the moon's orientation is waning."
I need more about the Mormon gopher!!
I love when Seth wanes poetic! He is a master of subtlety.
Glad you like pitch forks and angry mobs, Seth, because this English teacher is about to start one of her own over your Frankenstein bit. Anyone with me?
I’m just gonna quote Rudolph Giuliani to reply to that whole “conversation starter”, “do you think we’re stupid? Do you think we’re idiots?!”
The quote is actually “fools”, not “idiots”.
@@saar144 Thanks! (oh great, NOW who is the idiot? ... Me, fool!")
Correction: I can’t believe everyone is focused on moon phases and no one has pointed out that it’s not really possible to just wander into Maryland from the vicinity of the Warner Theater. You would have been walking for almost 2 hours. If you were that late to rehearsal for a live show, the producers would call the police!
Probably because everyone knows it didn't really happen and it was just a joke (and an excuse to bring out the Maryland flag again). Though that only reduces the number of corrections slightly.
A few corrections on the frankenstein bit: in the original novel Frankenstein, the monster/creature was created in the attic of Frankenstein's apartment he was renting at the university of Ingostatd. Also the people of that town never really encounter the monster. It was a later unnamed village that attacked him with rocks and sticks not torches. He never threw anyone into a pond, but he did kill a few people. Also Igor wasn't a character.
It was Fritz in the movie someone’s bound to point out.
I can't be sure but the university was probably located in Ingolstadt... I know nothing about motorbikes, though!
But who was "Abby Normal?"
That’s good because I’ve read the novel years ago, and I was just thinking I’d have to reread because I didn’t remember anyone getting thrown in a pond. I should reread it anyway though, that was a good book!
The torches & pitchforks image must be from the movie version (1931). It was also featured later in Disney's Beauty and the Beast (1991), which must have cemented the trope (and includes a kind of monster).
Saying “An agrarian society *of farmers*” is redundant. It’s certainly can’t be an agrarian society of high-tech workers.
It could if they're high tech farmers.
Aldi's is a German grocery chain. Being a German name, your original pronunciation was correct. Pronouncing it the way the jackels suggest is merely an Americanization of a German name and is a continuation of the bastadization of that language which came from England.
The correction suggesting remembering the name Al Bundy was from someone who said they were European.
And right after this comment, I looked up how a German person pronounces it, and Al-di is much closer than all-di.
The A part is almost exactly right, it's just that the German person made a L sound that is much further back in the mouth; almost glottal.
Yes in Chicago we pronounce it like he originally said it
I notice his drink pours become larger and larger each week…the jackals are wearing away at him
Was about to go to sleep, but seeing Seth holding my state flag in the thumbnail changed that plan.
But he holds it up side down, does he not?
@@LasseGreiner No...lol... I checked to make sure...😉
By law,do you have to sing the state song and eat a crabcake. Ummmmm,crabcakes.
I thought the comments of holding OUR MD flag upside down was funny! Trying to explain to people that we had a republican governor that was very popular and now we have a new great Democratic governor and great Democratic senator and YES we have great crabcakes too!
That is one crazy-ass state flag; gotta say. Looks like a band of knights suddenly found themselves on a modern racetrack, or something…
Can we have a Tanktop with Seth on it wearing the Scollins Tanktop please?????
0:23-0:25 There's also a place called "Nevada, Iowa" nearby Iowa State University. Nevada, Iowa uses the pronunciation of "nuh-vay-duh", and residents feel quite strongly about outsiders getting it wrong.
I wonder if that's like Cairo, Illinois and how they insist the pronunciation is "KAY-roh."
They at least get to sleep soundly knowing that no one mispronounces Iowa.
I adore how you are trying to get more exposure for your writer and his film. It's nice to see how you prop up your staff to let them shine. I admit that I'm not a big movie person, so don't always watch those interviews, but I'll be seeking this one out! :)
"I think You can be Sure." Absolutely broke me. lmao, it's the delivery. i'm still laughing.
THANK YOU!!! regarding the "conversation starter" & for letting your use of restraint show. blessings to you & your dear family.
A waxing moon is becoming more full, (brighter) and waning less full (dimmer).
Seth - we're gonna have to send you a DC Flag! And a complimentary license plate that says "NO TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION!"
Correction: You were holding the Maryland flag upside down, Seth.
Is it not 180° rotationally symmetrical?
No...top left corner is black...lol... I checked to verify that...
@@Bunkerdwarfputin yes, it was a good attempt but an incorrect correction
And it wasn't shaped like a crab, so it wasn't the real flag.
@@nicholasleemarks - You got the joke.
"Nevada, Nevada": the highly anticipated sequel to Seth's critically acclaimed musical "Cicada, Cicada" 👀
Always look forward to Corrections~!
I am glad that Lou Ferigno was the go-to muscle guy.
For Gen Z's that probably went over their heads. But, yeah, liked the call back. Fond memories.
I am pretty sure you said it right and who ever corrected you was wrong i lived in germany for 8 years and i always hear it pronounced aal dee
yeah, the AL is more like ull, as in hull or Jethro Tull - CORRECTION -
in the UK it's 'all-dee' ... but maybe it's different in US?
I'm in the US and have lived in the Midwest, Northeast, and now the South.. I've only ever heard it pronounced all-dee. This is the first I've heard the "Al-(Bun)-dy" pronunciation.
In Germany (where the store originated) it's pronounced all-dee. Maybe regional differences? 🤷♀️
@@lb5368 Have lived in Germany for 27 years. Nope. No regional differences here.
A college buddy of mine once saw our teacher walking around naked in the gym's locker room. It was much worse than a teacher in the grocery store could be.
What was she doing naked in the locker room? :)
Happened to me in the student rec center showers. The prof was short, and round, and very hairy. I was just glad he didn't also see me.
Lots of issues with that Maryland joke. The MD police don't have jurisdiction in New York, and it's also a constitutionally defended right to burn a flag.
And MD State Troopers don't have the budget needed to pay all the tolls between here and 30 Rock.
No state loves their flag the way a Marylander loves their flag. Except maybe Washington DC. I see the DC star and busy MD flags as tattoos all over the place.
The real issue with the premise of the joke is that it operates on the dubious supposition that MD cops would ever even think of prosecuting a well-to-do middle aged white guy.
Maybe it’s a federal crime?
@@verdatum Yes, and 99% of that is Delaware's fault. $14 to go all of 2 miles!? I guess the sales tax exemption also applies to narcotics.
This is far as I have gotten yet, but this is easily my favorite Corrections thus-far.
correction: a waning moon is when the visible part is getting less and a waxing is when the visible part gets larger. although ive rewatched this like 3 times and now it kinda feels like ur just messing w us 🤔
Very likely jackal bait..!🦊
Howling at the moon...

Frankenstein's assistant in the 1931 movie Frankenstein, where Frankenstein created the monster/creature, was named Fritz. Ygor first appeared in the third movie, Son of Frankenstein.
Yes! I intended to make the same comment, but you beat me to it.
And Igor/Ygor was never a lab assistent until Mel Brooks made him into one, I think?
@@Redemtor62 Igor being an assistant may have originated in the 1958 spoken word song "Dinner with Drac" by Zacherle.

_With the pitchforks! Igor, Igor_
THANK YOU SETH.... ABSOLUTELY ADORE YOU 😸♥️♥️♥️
Love that there was no correction with the Maryland flag and he just brought it up again to make the joke
I was worried about Maryland when I saw the thumbnail. Now I’m worried about the writers of the jokes about Maryland
Don't worry about MD. We elected democrats. I happen to think we have the nicest flag. I am biased.
CORRECTION: It's not really "Frankenstein's monster" because in Mary Shelley's story, the monster is not the creation, but Dr. Frankenstein himself as a mad scientist arrogant enough to believe he can control Nature caring little about the potential consequences and caused great suffering to both himself and those around him when his rejection of his own creation caused the whole situation to spiral out of control.
So, Frankenstein is his own monster? I think you're reaching a bit there.
@@HiEv001 I did not say that. I said he *is* the monster whereas his creation *isn't*. Have you read the original Mary Shelley story? The whole point of it was that we should fear those who would pervert Science, not the results of their perversions.
@@Spearca “Knowledge is knowing that Frankenstein is not the monster. Wisdom is knowing that Frankenstein is the monster.”
@@Spearca I will concede that, but that's only true to a certain point as "monster" is just what supporting characters like the villagers and Walton's crew call the creature (Frankenstein liked to use other words). And it's not just my interpretation, but 2 centuries of literary analysis stemming from the final chapter when Frankenstein realizes he's just as alone in the world as his creature had been.
@@Spearca Yeah well, given the number of accepted nicknames including "Frankenstein's monster", I doubt we're going to agree, so maybe we should let this die.
I'm just disappointed Seth didn't somehow work "gibbous" into his discussion of moon phases, since *everyone* agrees how *that* is pronounced. ◡̈
How would anyone pronounce that other that "GIB-us"? "gib-OOS"? "GAI-bus"? I don't think I've ever heard it pronounced wrong (though of course it doesn't come up much unless you're a stargazer or astronomer).
CORRECTION: You have the moon phases backwards-- WAXING is when it's increasing, and WANING is when it's going away. Think about dipping candles for 'waxing' and a baby 'waning' from its mother.
Seth you (purposely?) got it backwards. Waxing is more, waning is less. If you can't remember here's a trick my high school science teacher taught me "WAXING as in dipping a wick into WAX over and over to build up a candle."
That mnemonic isn’t any better.
Dipping your wick into wax usually removes stuff

🥰Counting down the days to spending time with Seth's Family at Thanksgiving...
Thank you for doing a closeup of the card at the end. That was brilliant, and I love hearing the crew laugh in the background!
Only 10,000 people have watched this? (Assuming one person didn't watch this 9,999 times and then me.) This is one of my favorite segments. You get a sense of the real Seth. Very writerly. Very quick. Very likable. Unlike Colbert and Kimmel, Meyers started as a writer. You can see he respects his writers and is involved with them. He credits them, which no other host does. What a good guy!

Correction: Waxing is increasing, waning is decreasing. I'm not sure how you got it wrong, the clues are in the names.
@@Spearca you know who IS aware of lunar phases? Those cool dude Werewolves, that's who.
@@Spearca idk, waning is in fairly common usage. "Trump's popularity is waning", "my patience is waning" etc.
@@canadianhappyinitalytruest6556 I heard a rumour that they can kill vampires, pretty cool stuff right there.
@@RubyDoobieScoo now stay with me, guys...
Regarding the moon: I, a German, memorise the phases by attaching a word to the shape of the moon at the time. When the moon gets smaller, it is sort of in the shape of the letter a - you know, with the arch on the left side. The german word “abnehmen” (which means getting less/losing weight) comes to mind. For when the moon gets larger, it takes on the shape of a capital D - where you could use “Dicker” (which means fatter) as a bridge. Hope that helps you memorise it.
Oh, and waning means “getting less” - as in: “attention waned when the former president’s speech touched the one hour mark”. And “waxing” sounds a bit like the german “wachsen”, which means to grow.
I think Seth meant to say you break up the 50 pushups over the course of a lifetime.
additional note on the waxing/waning mix-up... the word "crescent" comes from the Latin participle "crescens" which means "increasing" - so when we talk about a crescent moon, we should probably only use the term crescent when the moon is waxing!
The Moon turned Seth into a Troll 8:22 with his waxing/waning reversal trick.
I was checking to see the waxing commentary about the waning attention to detail and Seth's perceived knowledge in astronomy. good day to you sir.
Seth, when you said "Of course, the problem with the moon is that it can't turn its head," I'm sure you were referencing not only the picture of Mac Tonight you were holding, but the fact that the Moon is tidally locked with the Earth: the same side of the Moon always faces the planet and we can only ever directly see that one part of it. Very good writing. Almost made up for the waxing/waning fiasco.
Looking forward to the new sequel where the Cicada tries to infiltrate the Harry Reid machine in, "Nevada Nevada!"
I'm a huge fan, and rarely turn jackal, but the book Frankenstein by Mary Shelley is vastly different than the movie version. The creation is the victim in the story
Dr Frankenstein is the monster, and his creation was perhaps the most human.
Also, his creation can reasonably be called Frankenstein because he is effectively the son of Dr Frankenstein.
Please also analyze Peter Boyle and Gene Wilder.
His creation did do a lot of murders for shitty reasons. Frankenstein might have been terrible by not giving his creation a name and not loving it because it was ugly. That said, at some point it became his own choice to murder and rage against society. As terrible as Frankenstein is, his creation was worse. Because while Frankenstein was pathetic, the only person he could have been said to have murdered was himself, by the hands of his creation. His creation left a wave of destruction and death in his wake ruining many lives.
@@heidikickhouse- Their dancing is outstanding.
@@JacobSantosDev - Thank you. I always find the argument that Frankenstein is the only true monster, while the monstrous creature he unleashed on the world is somehow viewed only as a victim, to be ludicrous. I'm sure his victims would argue against that, if they weren't fictional.
Both Frankenstein and his creature are monsters for different reasons. Frankenstein is a monster who created a monster.
I love the subtlety.
I love getting here early. I stay up til 4am every Thursday just so I can devour every drop of corrections you give us.
Just move to the west coast it's not even one here
Well just do what I did, and move to the EU. I get up at eight A.M. every day, and an hour later the show pops up in my feed. I have time to get my fresh bread at the bakery, make some coffee, and we're sitting pretty by the time the show airs! Great thinking huh?
You get Corrections on Thursday? Everyone else gets it on Friday.
@@jb888888888 it usually launches between 12am-1am pacific time, technically Friday.
@@jb888888888 okay okay I meant 4am Friday sorry
Wax on wane off. You were sooooo close with that statement. Waxing is like it’s getting turned on to full brightness, waning is like it’s getting turned off to full darkness.
Seth is starting to look like Ace Ventura.
😂
"your balls are showing. bumblebee tuna!"
So if Seth wants to know what he'll look like in the future, just look at Jim. His brother, he can look at Gov. Newsom.
With Loki's devilish grin.
You’re almost there. But since Aldi is a german company and you are an expert in impressions of german speaking actors. Maybe try saying it as Christoph Waltz or Werner Herzog.
The whole thing is silly. I don't expect everyone to pronounce things the way I do. Even if the entire population of the country of origin pronounces a word or name one way, I'd expect people from another country to pronounce it differently. It sounds stupid for someone with one distinct accent to suddenly speak in another.
@@BeeWhistler it’s a joke…not meant to be taken that seriously.
But also, a lot of Americans definitely expect the whole world to pronounce everything their way.
Every time I watch your show it's another horrifying exposure to mac tonight. When will I learn.
How and why did it start?
@@wcoasttigger Mac Tonight has tormented me since childhood and I thought I'd escaped him. This is like the 5th time he's brought mac tonight back and I'm starting to lose my mind. It's hard to describe the fear it struck into me as a child but mac tonight is a nightmare from which I won't soon wake.
Lol!! You did it to yourself with the waxing and the waning....release the hounds 😁
Ah, a late upload of Corrections. Gotta love it!
Waning: losing vigor, becoming less bright. Like me when I get too high.
Waxing: reminiscing, fondly remembering. Especially of that one time when I got soooooo high.
Waxing means increasing, not reminiscing. You have probably heard the phrase "waxing nostalgic" but it just means becoming more nostalgic.
1:14 SETH!!! (He is holding the Maryland state flag UPSIDE DOWN!!!) Unforgiveable. (-_-;)
This was brilliant from beginning to end. Bravo.
Love this segment
You said the “waxing” and “waning” backwards. The “waxing” comes from German roots, cognate with German “wachsen” (to grow) and “waning” is much more common in modern English (e.g. “the waning days of summer”) but that doesn’t mean that it’s still at all common. “This word is used in only one case“ is not exactly a high bar to clear. Unfortunately, for those that do not speak another Germanic language, I don’t know that there is a quick mnemonic for remembering that waxing means growing, and waning means diminishing…
P.S.: The moon actually _does_ appear upside down… in the Southern Hemisphere. :)
9:04-9:45 is a great example of why I often refer to Seth's comedy as a counter when people act like asking comedians not to be horrible bigots on stage silences them on that topic somehow. Edit: in case this wasn’t extremely clear, that’s a good thing. Comedians who feel like they can’t joke about something without punching down are either lazy, hateful, or just plain boring.
Wha?
My father would have made that same joke about women.
@@commaJim there are tons of examples of comedians complaining that they can’t talk about sensitive issues because they’ll get canceled - but often what they mean is they they can’t be bigoted without consequences. Seth’s comedy is consistently a good example of being able to make jokes about sensitive issues without being hateful or leaning into stereotypes that put people in increased danger.
@@StephanieAly I completely agree! And I’m so disappointed in SNL for giving him that platform. F0ck anti-semitism.
@@lynnhettrick7588 me too!! And I was really irritated to see so many people defending it, like “he talks about uncomfortable things.” Idk about them but I manage to talk about uncomfortable things without being bigoted all the time - but I’d especially make sure that were the case if I had a major national platform in a time of increasingly virulent antisemitism!
Look at the abundance of stuff on his desk, I like how it looks like Frisbee is drooling on Andy Samberg.
By the way Seth, you were holding the Maryland flag upside down.
No...lol... top left corner is black... I checked to verify...lol
The "wax on, wane off" is clearly a setup for him to come back with a "whacks off" joke next week. He's playing the long game.
In the eighties there was a trend in the NHL that saw hockey players getting Brazilians. The trainer for the Oilers was famous for Waxing Wayne (Gretzky). True story.
the flag burning joke hit hard! 🤣
