one of the best episodes was busta rhymes, who came onto the show so high they had to frame the whole metaplot of the episode around there being a gas leak in the studio

you definitely get the feeling after a certain point that the whole premise just becomes a troll on the idea of do celebrities or their publicists bother to do literally any research whatsoever about the shows they book for interviews

Same, presuming you mean the live action one. It was in the high school library, it had a shiny cover, and I was morbidly curious and really really bored.

so how it basically worked was that they took the guest into the recording studio and sat them down with the main trio and did a standard Q&A interview, usually with the hosts at least partially in character. they then edited the footage of the guest's dialogue in a humorous and often out of context manner and the hosts would re-record their own dialogue in response for the final product. it ultimately was a light-hearted (and p tame) roast of the guests, and how they reacted could usually be divided into certain archetypes:

1. those who were in on it and leaned into it hard. usually the least entertaining because they'd try too hard at either being wacky or mugging for the camera. a lot of the earliest guests were like this, with the amazing jonathan being one of the worst imo

2. those who were in on it, or at least aware on some level they were being made fun of, and responded with arrogance/frustration. some would even commit the cardinal sin of breaking the fourth wall on the whole conceit. this usually resulted in the hosts p ruthlessly clowning on them and the closest the show could come to being mean-spirited. it probably won't surprise you that bill shatner is a defining example of this archetype

3. those who maybe had some idea of what was going on, or no idea at all, but were charismatic/good-natured enough to roll with it. the best guests imo, and the ones usually treated the kindest. best example would be willie nelson who starred in my personal favorite episode in the series. there was also an episode where randy savage guest-hosted as space ghost's grandpa and had an extremely good back and forth with one of the kids from the cosby show

4. busta rhymes, who I described previously. probably the only one to seem like they actually put the hosts on the back foot

the algorithm took me to this and the guy seems to have an interesting thesis about whether internet fame forces you to think in terms of whether youre actually speaking truth to power or if the approval of power just encourages you to keep making compromises to your ideals for the sake of that approval encouraging you to betray your original community in the process but then he starts talking about bamboozled and i check the time stamp and just go hmmm should i really be watching a seventy minute video about bamboozled instead of just like watching bamboozled

sadly bamboozled isnt on any streaming services so ill probably just go back to space ghost and the guest is...commander andy of the cosmos???

you should watch Bamboozled, it's a seriously great movie (I think it's Spike Lee's best) and Michael Rapaport drops n-bombs.

Only know this youtuber cause he likes the movie Baby Boy and the rapper Canibus. I actually first found that guy because I searched "Baby Boy good" on youtube. He's got good taste (by which I mean he agrees with me).

I'm a vegan, haven't eaten meat since 1998, and I am just generally a sucker for all animals.

That said, I find it particularly weird when people refer to chimps and bonobos as "creatures" because they're more or less literally (99%) us. That said, I'm sure the sanctuary is great, it's just such a weird choice of word.

even if it's less than that, I don't care. the 99% point communicates what I actually do care about just as well as 95% or 90% or whatever.

100% Mr House. It lets them keep the Mojave setting in a state most like it was during the games for maximum brand recognition and references. Plus Mr House is a very popular character and can be slotted into any narrative function they might need, from benefactor to antagonist to neutral authority figure.
