    Future sketches of similar nature where you point out messed up things in real world would be great!

      @@Indigowaves2 exactly! Being funny doesn't make you a genius of politics any more than it makes you an expert at plumbing. For instance, the last time Ryan went 'political' he was mad at Elon Musk . . . not because Musk runs *a literal brain-chipping company*, but because Musk wanted Twitter to have free speech. And THAT really ground Ryan's gears, apparently.

      @@dumbdamage3988 uhhhh what the fuck are you talking about? (a) literal brain-chipping company??? (b) don't act like he has some noble reason for wanting Twitter to have "free speech," he wanted bots and right-wing trolls to have free reign to spread disinformation and hate speech.

    So nice to see where Ryan gets his inspiration from.
    Also very nice of him that when his work is inspired by someone else his work he acknowledges this and give the other guy proper credit.
    Also Ryan said this is one of his favorite authors.
    Nice to know something personal about Ryan.
    This video is just NICE
