Once you yourself had realised it was satire, it was fun to watch other people doubt themselves. Some lasted nearly the whole episode.

    The meat on this comedy bone for me is the attention to detail in virtually every audio/visual department. A lesser creator would put over-exaggerated film scratch overlays over 25fps video and expect the writing to do the lion’s share of the work, but Serafinowicz & Popper clearly did their homework and found an equally focused crew to help them achieve an authentic look. This along with Documentary Now & Key and Peele hit a satisfying sweet spot for me - an equal balance between strong writing and direction & laser focused production design.

    If you like this synth music style, check out the hauntology electronic music genre. Try listening to groups like The Advisory Circle, Belbury Poly, Pye Corner Audio and Listening Center as well as all the others. Check out the record label Ghost Box. Many of the hauntology groups are inspired in part by this type of style, in other words the style of synth music that was common in educational videos of the late seventies to at least the early eighties. Also, another intresting genre to check out is library music, which is a general type of music that was composed for commercial use. You may hear this type of music in movies and TV shows a lot of times, and some of it is really creative stuff because the composers aren't usually bound by formulaic big commercial interests. A good YT channel amongst others to check out some of this music is Sonne Immage. Hope this is of some interest to someone.

I was on a high school youth group church retreat and me and the two other high school guys were up late in the hotel flipping through the channels and we hit this specific episode on Adult Swim when they were running it for a short period and we had NO idea what was going on. Like had NO idea if this was real or not. And then we got up and did Jesus stuff like worship music and service projects, but this show haunted us. I don't know where one of those guys ended up. The other, I think, has a wife and two kids now. And here I am, watching this on KZread alone at 2:15 in the morning. Funny how life works.

    I still can't get over how "Petri Dish" is precisely as idiotic of a name as "Besselheim Plate"; the difference only exists for people used to the arbitrary bit of nomenclature. Same with "mifibulates" and "percolates". The Jabberwocky-esque effect got brilliantly pulled off here.

    Vestin They aren’t 100% arbitrary; Petri dish comes from the name of the guy who invented it, and “percolate” comes from some roots for “strain through”, but your point still stands. Those are just the tip of the iceberg, too; there’s also a reference to 12000 BC as a temperature at 8:50, the helium experiment refers to “Syndefrit’s [sic] constant of 2.5 quorums per second” when talking about gas flow, et cetera.

Much like in "Alice in Wonderland", where you get a genuine experience of childhood ignorance by being presented with texts where you don't know half the words (since they're made up); here you get served a genuine experience of being faced with educational material that you're too dumb to understand. Every term seems foreign, you haven't read the previous chapter, and every bit of presumed prior knowledge used as a stepping stone in explaining more recondite concepts is complete news to you. If anything, the video serves a very _realistic experience_ alongside its humor and weirdness :).
