    I liked it. The anchor bits, like all the other anchor bits they do, were a little stilted and forced although, as usual, the text was pretty funny. It did go by pretty fast, though; I had to rewatch just to read all of it.

    The giant solar Bungie slingshot, however, was pure gold.

    Good episode overall, but Jeremy's Michele Bachmann-esque gaze took me out of it for a bit.
    The THX line is perfect.

    That one made me chuckle a bit near the beginning, gave me an Airfarce/This Hour has 22 minutes vibe.

    Hahahah, sorry. I'm not an audiophile! I'm an audio enthusiast!

    But you guys already seemed more chilled than in the first episode.

    Keep it up. :D

    The conspiracy theory part of the show was probably the most enjoyable.

    The important take away from this is regardless of where you fall on the political spectrum, LRR is listening to your problems. We are very Canadian in that regard.

    Jeremy needs to have his script placed closer to the camera so he's not looking stage-right the entire time.

    Would it make you feel more comfortable to know that while I was criticizing their audio, I was also being a huge racist and setting up "readjustment" camps for all the intellectuals in my area?

    The delivery in this one seemed even more strained and awkward than the first one, but I did enjoy a lot of the humor.

    (I may also have been planning to voice my opinion a little more strongly before realizing that these folks are actually reading this thread.)

    You need to honk like a goose all over the place with your critiques. They're used to geese up there in Canada since like 99% of the world's geese come from there so it won't phase them at all.

    Well they are Canadian. Between the less than 10 Canadians I've met in the US, the day trip I took to Vancouver, and the various Canadian celebrities I see on TV, I have yet to meet or hear of a Canadian acting like an asshole.

    Just don't look up our current Prime Minister; he'd shatter that perception pretty quickly.

    Anyway, great episode.

    You are giving me a sporting chance.
    By giving me a sporting chance you are being a gentleman.
    ∴ You are not an asshole 8-)

    I wish my country had the stereotype of being all-around nice people. Instead we have the exact opposite.
