did anyone else notice the guest stand up was dressed like shaggy?

Rambo Jambo me

Finally someone else pointed it out

[@Jeppe-bk4sx]

The clip with the cutie doggo that was blind at 25:00 made me fucking cry, fucking hell i can't handle the feels

[@tictacmaniac7415]

Sadly, Hopeforpaws is a complete rip-off and was sued multiple times. None of the donated money went to save the dogs, they abandoned them instantly after saving them. He even let one dog die in a barrel in Arizona. Horrible person. Hope he lost a lot of money or is stuck in jail.

[@lynngiesbrecht910]

I researched it and this guy apparently just dropped off dogs at shelters without giving them any of the money to take care of anything, made off with $15,000 and tried to convince a judge that he couldn't speak English when people that dealt with him directly said he spoke it perfectly!!

[@tictacmaniac7415]

Yup! Terrible guy.

I still watch an episode every time I eat and this has been a hobby for about a year now. Funny thing is you're jokes never get old. I've watch seasons 1 through 10 so many times I've lost count.

[@Haleginge04]

[@EleanorPeterson]

25:15 - The music during the Fiona doggie rescue segment is by Kate Bush; it's 'This Woman's Work', from her 1988 album 'She's Having a Baby'. It's stunning, but I'd have picked something from her 'Hounds of Love' album (1985) for obvious reasons. 🐕 👀

[@ripdbtpoo1441]

I found it mawkish, unnecessarily sentimental. And l used to like Kate Bush!

[@ripdbtpoo1441]

Incidentally, nothing against the segment, except that the moral was "people are bastards, apart from the nice ones" again, wasn't it?

[@Iombardia]

Thank you 🙂

[@allmightybeaver]

PASS: Pull (the pin) Aim (the fire extinguisher) Squeeze (the lever) Sweep (across the base of the fire, coating the base of the fire with foam) And that’s how you use a fire extinguisher.

[@skybellrock]

Gregory Samuel Teo left handed? or to show the camera?

[@alveolate]

doesn't seem to make sense tho... left-handed people still shake with their right hands and there's never a camera angle problem for a 3-second handshake.
