It's amazing the number of upvotes this show gets, despite the lack of gushingly positive reviews.

Did something interesting happen in this week's episode?

Nothing special happened in particular really. I suspect that a lot of people might just like the visual. To be honest, I just chose a frame in which the characters were as confused as I was because I thought it was funny. This show's strength is definitely its visuals.

I say that, but there are a lot of lurkers. I posted a while back about my experience posting a clip to this community. If you don't want to dive into the technical details, the short version is that I could see from the super basic analytics from cloudflare, that clips I post can get 700-1000 views while only getting ~10 upvotes. I haven't been keeping track of the analytics since that first post, but the community has grown a lot since back then, so who knows how many people are actually seeing the post.
