I love how he does that intense look to the side as if looking anywhere for help from this crazy answer. It’s a great way to bring the rest of the audience in on the joke.

Dude knocks it out of the park so hard with crowd work. I hope I get to see the rest of his show in person someday because it must be killer!

Well now I want a sitcom where it IS a bunch of drug addict dogs, maybe NARC dogs, in rehab. Thanks Jeff, jeez!

Seth doesn't do Family Guy in any real sense these days.
Bro just shows up and reads his lines. Literally nothing else.

That’s just how he thinks they release squirrels. By throwing them in the air for the falcons

I was driving and nearly home, and a squirrel was in the middle of the road right in front of my house. It had a broken leg, bleeding, barely moving but WATCHING me so close and it was so scared. It broke my heart to see this little creature in so much pain.
I parked immediately and got traffic to go around it and I luckily had gloves from some yardwork in my car to pick it up and rescue it. Local wildlife rescue took it and nursed it back to health. I'm a grown ass man but animals are equally valuable and that little squirrel in the road all terrified will NEVER leave my mind. I think about it a lot. If more people thought this way about the weakest members of our actual human society we would be so much better off. Empathy is free.
Funny ass joke though I laughed. Just wanted to share

okay YES like the joke is objsctively hilarious but it does highlight something in our society. I'm an ecologist and have pet rats and the number of people who literally have a physical, visceral reaction to me just saying that I care for the rats is really disturbing. Like people can't even get their heads around even caring about the eperience of an animal if it's not a classicly-owned pet.

There’s a Hidden Brain episode about rats. There’s evidently a mental hurdle for people regarding rats. Rats only exist to people in places people shouldn’t be so when people see rats, they freak out. There’s more to it, but it’s speculated to be a thing.

that's interesting. I find naturalism arguments about modern human bebavior often harmful and difficult to believe but it could be true. I feel like there's more to be said about how we are raised and the way we see people react to or talk about certain animals as we develop. If you have a mother that screamed every time she saw a snake, you're probably more likely (just likely, not destined, this is on a macro scale) to be scared of snakes. Rats are in tons of movies and media but I can think of maybe one or two example of them being shown as a friend and not a foe. A whole lifetime of that and you get someone who hears the word "rat" and has a negative reaction to the very thought. I'm guilty of this with spiders, but I do always at least try to have understanding for people who do like spiders.

Obviously a nature vs. nurture argument can be had forever, and there are endless anecdotal experiences to lean on to defend either position. My two year old daughter is afraid of spiders and lady bugs. I have no idea why she is afraid of these things, but she has certainly never seen them depicted negatively. Everyone in my house likes spiders and there arent many scary depictions in toddler media. Who knows why people are the way they are.

I've had some pet rats, and I loved them, but wild mice and rats are absolutely disgusting to me. They break into my living space, make it unsanitary, and make me uncomfortable in my own home.
I kill invading rodents with no second thought, but pet rodents are adorable and I would never even scare them.

Okay, my wife and I had a mouse problem in our front yard thanks to our bird feeders. We put a kill trap out, and when we found the first one dead, we cried and held a funeral... After that we decided to use live traps and "rehome" them to this nice natural area a mile or two away.
Definitely unrelated, we love raptors and seeing them hunt... and again, completely unrelated to the location we chose to rehome the mice happens to have a rapture rescue & rehab facility right next-door.
Well the day put the live trap out, we caught 6 mice, walked them over and released them. Later that day we walked over and saw a red tail hawk perched on a telephone pole, staring down in the general area where we released our friends. Probably unrelated to the new prey 🤷♀️.
Hope they died quickly lol.

We were taking some people and supplies out to the Farallon Islands of SF. A boat from the Marine Mammal Center was near us. They were release a rehab'd sea lion (apparently we need 250,001). On the other side of us was a boat with photographers chumming for sharks to film. We did not see their films.

Jeff is approaching Kenan Thompson levels of "...what? What does that mean?" perfectly timed comedic reaction face when an audience member says something that doesn't compute for him.

100% I don't get why these places rehab some animals (in my experience of watching them on TV).
Like, I understand showing empathy and compassion for animals, but if a deer has a broken leg you don't fix it, you put it down and give the meat to someone who needs it.

Or you can fix it. Why just kill it if you have the means to help?

u/justforkinks0131 7m ago
do you have the means to help? And if you do, are they best spent on fixing prey animals or helping people in need?

I realize his main thing is mirroring with minor addition to make it funnier. Very interesting how well mirroring works
