* {{Corpsing}}: Mike does a truly impressive job reading an [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3p10knivMRg AI-written script]] with a straight face, but noticeably struggles not to laugh at the sentence "This, the subject of [[Literature/HarryPotter Dumbledore]]."

* WritingByTheSeatOfYourPants: "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-pNTn9cJApg Does Twitch Plays Pokemon Give You Hope for Humanity?]]", given [[LetsPlay/TwitchPlaysPokemon the reference material]], is the first deliberate example this show has done.
-->'''Mike:''' As you've probably noticed, we usually like to ''wait'' a little bit before saying anything, but the depth and '''volume''' of the conversations surrounding LetsPlay/TwitchPlaysPokemon has been ''monumental''. People are talking about how it's meaningful and interesting and important, and so ''that'' is what '''we''' going to talk about: the way that people are talking about [[LetsPlay/TwitchPlaysPokemon TPP]].

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Midway through 2016, PBS Idea Channel started a book club through [[Website/{{Reddit}} r/pbsideachannel]]. The intent was to read books and have Comment Response-style discussions on what the book made the club members think. Sadly, the book club only ever read two books and released one video before the channel ended.
