Anyone else notice Rich lives in an apartment building, but mentions cooking kettle corn in his garage, and that lightning struck a tree in his backyard.

[@sabin97]

i certainly didnt. i dont really pay attention to rich. he's crazy.

[@mathiaswalker350]

How can those three things not be true all at once?

It could be a summer home or jis childhood home that had the garage and backyard

[@gryffonmanic]

Can we just take a moment to appreciate some of the spectator signs in the end tag? - "Abed, you can POP my kettle corn" - "I ♥U Troy and I'm a cheerleader" - "Abed, please be my alien baby daddy" - "DUMP TROY, MARRY ME"

[@wvu05]

I guess you missed the joke about his sweater, where "my dad gave it to me." That's because he played Theo, the son on _The Cosby Show,_ so it's a reference to Cliff Huxtable.

[@tempsitch5632]

Glover does a little Cosby impersonation while talking to Malcolm.

The one child policy in China was repelled a while ago now. The country actually faces the opposite problem now, with the population having started to decrease in the past couple years.

[@tayzk5929]

I'm sure they could let lots of africans and arabs in to fix it, what could go wrong, One Humanity 🫶

[@thecode327]

The issue isn’t decreased population, it’s that the population is lopsided. A decreased population is a good thing in my opinion, but what they are having is a situation where 1/2 to 2/3 of the population is on the verge of retirement, and the rest of the population can’t support them.

@@tayzk5929 Wdym? It works great here. In my city of Amsterdam, more than 50% of people are not Dutch. And we are doing just fine here. If your country isn't broken socially or politically, like for example flawed democracies like the US, you notice that issues are not related to cultures but to how a country or city is organised.

[@jb55364]

Great joke about getting the sweater from his dad by Malcom Jamal Warner who played Theo Huxtable on the Cosby show. I love Troy’s interrogation scene, Donald Glover killed that 😂

The “Emmanuelle” series of movies are very famous mainstream softcore movies.

It's a lovely sweet episode with lots of laughs and it moves the Shirley baby story forward.

[@BK-500]

Shirley having a baby? Wow, things gonna _Chang_ ! What a great episode, now I want some kettle corn.

[@gimiwanishkaa]

Others have already mentioned it, but I have to hammer this point because the overpopulation myth is not only persistent, belief in it leads to some truly dreadful policies. The current global total fertility rate is around 2.27 (World Bank) to 2.3 (UN). Global replacement rate is 2.3. This means we're already at or slightly below replacement rate, and birth rates the world over are on a downward trend. This means that, unless something unforeseen happens to reverse this trend, we may live to see the total human population reach its peak. How high will that peak be and when will it occur? Let's look at some projections: UN: 10.4 billion in 2086 The Lancet: 9.7 billion in 2064 Wittgenstein Center: 9.4 billion in 2070 Given the current global population of ~8.1 billion, we'll see an increase in population of around 16-28% over the next 40-62 years before the population starts declining. The Malthusian idea that the population will grow exponentially until we run out of resources is not only utter nonsense, it is actively harmful to society.

[@peterlewis2178]

Not to mention that we have more than enough land and resources to feed a far larger population than we have today, but we waste tons of food, especially on animal husbandry, and also we just don't distribute excess food to starving people because capitalism.

[@Creativedough]

Kettle Corn=sweet/sugary and salty popcorn.

4:17 Did the gorilla from the exposition scenes in The Holy Grail get Hendo? 🦍 Never mind, he's back. Or has he been replaced?🤔🤨 4:47 Theo Huxtable, ladies and gentlemen. He may be a philanderer but I don't think he got up to the kind of evil shenanigans his father did.💊😵‍💫🍆 5:27 Don't worry, I'm sure two white guys with Y'alls accents would never get cancelled for this conversation, because people are reasonable and can appreciate context. 🤣🤣🤣 10:20 I've seen them, mezzanine is fair.

0:19 over population isn’t a threat. Seems like it would be, but it’s not

[@kungfubrandon6886]

agreed

[@bushraptor]

Many 1st world countries especially in Asia are going to have major problems due to a lack of babies being born rn

[@wilfred29]

​@@bushraptor no we wont and theres more conutries in Asia that are not considered "first world". I am in a small asian country where population increases exponentially , families having 6 or more children with the parents unable to provide food or even send the kids to free public schools

[@wvu05]

@@bushraptor Some are right now. From time to time, Russia declares a national holiday and offers huge tax incentives and cash bonuses if people have babies roughly nine months after that.

[@sabin97]

you seem to be pretty aggressively against non-whyte folks.....

[@TES-541]

Not to serious us out, but the bigger threat than overpopulation is exactly under population in mine and many others opinions. If you look at the birth rate of most thriving countries it’s declining throughout the world. Look at Japan, it’s staggering and they’re desperate to turn it around. We won’t have enough people to take care of the elderly, and more people means more shots at scientific breakthroughs, etc. But this channel is a comedy, thanks for my Ted talk and love what you guys do

[@Mark-xx3gh]

Mezzanine?!?!

[@kungfubrandon6886]

overpopulation is a touchy topic

[@Anonymos185]

Pretty much ALL of the population growth in the next decades is set to happen in poor developing nations, especially Africa. East Asia and The Western World actually have the exact opposite problem, where we will end up with too many retirees, and not enough young people to replace them in the work force. So Dean, I really wouldn't be worried about too many people being born. Australia is actually looking pretty screwed in a few decades by the exact opposite problem, unless you'd be happy with replacing your entire future with immigrant work forces. (Which Alt-right political forces would just *love* to exploit and grab power off)

[@tayzk5929]

Sure but population growth in poor countries is pretty awful. Yeah it's not overpopulation that's the problem, it's overpopulation of less competent people, and underpopulation of competent people.

[@sabin97]

@@tayzk5929 competent in what specific sense?

[@kungfubrandon6886]

@@tayzk5929 a whole bunch of assumptions nice

[@peterlewis2178]

@@tayzk5929 And by competent you mean rich and privileged

[@tayzk5929]

@@peterlewis2178 Not exactly because there are some examples of rich and privileged people who aren't very competent. Although generally, more competent people gain more money and privilege by their work. I also don't completely judge it by economic status, as some people are very competent there, but completely lack in social skills/parenting skills and effort etc. Which I think is just as important as the economic.

[@tc5064]

dont worry about overpopulation, worry about overconsumption! happy to help ease ur mind :---)

[@tayzk5929]

There's too many bad quality people not too many people 😂

[@bloatus7611]

Overpopulation is a canard to hoard resources. It is only easy to sell as a problem for Western nations because they tend not to see their own consumption as a problem in comparison to Asian and African countries.. China's one child policy was a misguided reform policy that ended up being brutal and awful for its population. I'm sure you didn't think of this conversation as anything but a throwaway but man is it not only contentious, Dean managed to take on the worst aspects of it. I truly do think and hope both of you research it more.

[@JqckStin]

Love ur guys’ reactions but I will say, “underpopulation” is actually the biggest threat to Asia rn and it’s not even close. Their birthrates are plummeting after the boomer gen

[@wilfred29]

And your source is what? Because in my Asian country in 2020 we were at 90 million, now 4 years later we are at 100 million.

[@theJ3ZA]

Yikes. Dean in favour of one child policy. Very funny

[@LadyBeyondTheWall]

Well I wouldn't assume someone actually is in favor of something just because it was brought up in the conversation as part of a conversation about overpopulation. One can be worried about overpopulation in general and talk about China having had a one child policy without necessarily agreeing that it was a good thing or that you're in favor of that particular thing to "help" with overpopulation. Unless I missed where he specifically said he was in favor of it, I totally could have missed that part, lol. 🤷🏻‍♀

[@tayzk5929]

Yikes. Omg. I can't even.

[@aar1551patd5115fob]

From what I've seen, overpopulation isn't the issue. It's forced scarcity by companies and corporations that won't give anything if there's no profit to it.

[@tayzk5929]

Yeah idk about overpopulation, but overpopulation of shitty people* is definitely a problem

[@SoteksChunkyProphet-dg7io]

Overpopulation is not a threat. It's literally the opposite. Population collapse is one of the biggest threats to civilization, especially social democracies and social programs. Also all of the stats point to collapsing birth rates, not increasing birth rates.

[@Scruffyman81]

Typical Australian, I feel population is a problem, so it must be! Try thinking for yourself.
