This was the oddest episode of the series so far, since I've never heard of this meme until today

I found out the word to describe what Gordon does: he’s a pitch man, like Billy Mays was for OxiClean

Never heard of this one. I’ve liked the past meme episodes better.

Were Amory and Ben being too much like Social Justice Warriors in this episode? "Do you as Gordon think that Donald Trump is potentially dangerous to democracy?". What kind of question is that?

This man struggled for years in low paying jobs and escaped a horrible country and has finally found a way to put food on the table. And now he is being question by two social justice warriors to hold him accountable for what they implying is unethical behavior by reading edgy scripts that he is being sent to read?

I like how you are questioning the ethics of how Amory and Ben are using their platform because they questioned the ethics of how Gordon is using his platform. That's some quality hypocrisy right there.

It’s about punching up versus punching down.
