In the audio commentary, Shane said he was origianly going to introduce the redesign as a quick joke but one night as he's sleeping said "I'ma kill him!" and basiclly wrote season 4 and 5 as a massive plot to kill and resurect Proffessor McNasty. So...Yup!

In the defenestration episode, they talked about how in 1618, before the 3 men were thrown out of the window, they were asked to take their hats off. At 24:26 in that video, they joke that they won't be thrown out of the window if they still have their hat on. However, the now Hatless Hologram Professor was thrown out of the window, and I simply cannot believe that wasn't done by accident. The amount of thought put into this series

i can just tell shane, joyce and garrett were all just sitting in room recording tryna make each other laugh cuz i can hear it the professor's voice and i just think that is so endearing

[@RewindingFilm04]

The dinosaur dialogue in the first half of the lesson sounded so improvised, it was hilarious in the best way possible

[@ggoose11224]

​@@RewindingFilm04yeah, i specifically like the part where Shane and Garrett started spontaneously arguing about Tenet 😂

[@KTr0ck]

actual tears the whole double meaning of 'being history' and the theme of inevitability and using the dinosaurs to make the point really got to me. also: making the asteroid itself a scared and lovable character rather than the villain of the dinosaurs story? groundbreaking. perfection. masterful storytelling uh. i have to go think about life now

[@blueblank8287]

This episode is the cutest thing I have ever seen, and the reoccurrence of “‘CAUSE YOU’RE GOING OUT THE WINDOOOOW” made me burst out laughing.

[@KS-ns4op]

conceptualizing the meteor hitting the earth as also looking down the barrel of his own death/apocalypse was so potent. for the earth to be a final resting place for something cosmically alien... i've watched the ending musical for this three times and that and the fast sequence of images of nature from earth never fail to get me bawling like a baby.

[@snehasowmy7226]

I appreciate that Shane is now doing a evolutionary biology sort of history along with the typical history concerning human events. Obviously a lot of research into geology and biology went into this so I really appreciate it!

[@Ughbassists456]

The comedic improv between Garrett and Joyce is so clever, must have been so fun to film! Edit: I’m sure there is definitely an element of scripting, it seems as though there were moments where they made unexpected comments that genuinely made Shane laugh and almost break character.

[@21stcenturymouse]

How do you know it was improv? This episode is credited to two script writers.

[@hotsexyangel]

@@21stcenturymouse it can be scripted AND improvised. I’m sure the scripting was more for Shane’s teaching, not for the class responses.

[@nikobatallones]

Strikes me as they’re all reading a script for this episode, but there’s enough room to improvise. At the very least, there’s a guide.

[@mikal]

Not improv.

[@la_arana_discoteca]

@@nikobatallones the little bits like the fight about the movie Tenet and the cannibalistic pterodactyl are more than likely improv.

[@kellysowhat88]

What award can Shane be given? Because he really really deserves it.

[@LilyoftheLake14]

Maybe a streamy award for best webseries? 🤷‍♀️ This deserves like, an Emmy, but that won't happen with the way Hollywood is, they don't like anything that is online only, even if it streams on one of the Streaming platforms. Which could happen with this since Ryan and Shane got all of buzzfeed unsolved on Hulu at one point and even though that was with buzzfeed, they possibly have the connections still from their Hulu deal. I'd imagine they were possibly in the room/call with the Hulu representative to discuss the rights for the show. Though buzzfeed could've also told them that their show was being shown to Streaming platforms and then didn't let them in the negotiations since they didn't legally have to because buzzfeed owned the rights.

[@squigglykinkle805]
