My favorite moment of the evening, honestly, is the evocation of air dancers. Plus, we covered airplanes last week, and now we’re doing it again? What is this, old school standup comedy? But the jokes are still clever and still make me laugh, and many subjects are delightfully bizarre and unexpected. At this point, I’m pretty sure everyone’s tired of jokes about how we’re all incapable of social interaction because we’re glued to our phones. This episode isn’t quite as strong as the series premiere-the social commentary isn’t as sharp, and some of it’s been said before. An in-world commercial for “abductile dysfunction” offers aid for limp spaceships.įinally, Drexx and Truva discuss the convenience of drive-through Catholic confession and mourn the tiny, fire-hydrant shaped people that once roamed the Earth (with their perpetual fondness for silly hats). Then Drexx and Tuva discuss ways that humans have historically attempted to achieve immortality, including mummification, cryo chambers, and ventriloquism. In the segment “What is Scalding, What is Colder Than Absolute Zero?,” our hosts cover a series of Earth behaviors that are on-trend or on their way out, including self-driving cars (scalding), brick and mortar stores (cold), eye contact (freezing), or shaving (hot as hell). Drexx believes that the curtain separating first class and the main cabin on planes is made of a poor person-repellent fabric, and he longs to make a suit out of it so that he can finally chew out his poor rival without fear of retaliation (Tuva reminds him that the network doesn’t like he when he goes on like this). Then Drexx and Tuva bring on expert Zygel Xaxxenborough-an alien David Attenborough stand-in-for new segment “Species Spotlight,” which covers humans’ evolution into the benevolent Colossomen (i.e. Our announcers recount the horrors of cruise ships, which are obviously prisons that subject the elderly to brutal torture. This time, they cover the “taking a knee” controversy, exploring different scenarios in which a person would take a knee on a football field and attempting to predict which ones would draw ire from football fans. Drexx and Tuva are baffled that Trump is still holding rallies when he’s already the president they theorize that he’s been using temporal loop technology from Area 51 (a la the educational film Groundhog Day) to relive a day in 2016 over and over again.ĭrexx introduces the new segment “What is The Meaning of This?!” in which he and Tuva attempt to decipher Earth’s most convoluted and confusing rituals. Today’s agenda includes brief snippets on party selfies, NASA, Brad Pitt’s marriage, Wisconsin fashion sense, babies, spring break, and Philadelphia (shout-out to Philly!). Drexx and Tuva are back with yet more hilarious observations about our incomprehensible species.
