One of the best episodes this season. In the intro, the tribute to France was a little easy, but pleasantly profane; the look at "Singles Day" in China was an amusing bit of cross-cultural weirdness (mostly how the American side is imported), and the story on India wanting its diamond back from England was, true to LWT's style, a nice mini "this is how ridiculous international relations are" "can you believe this?" kind of story.
But I particularly enjoyed the main story about Daily Fantasy. This topic is straightforward enough that it could be easily covered in the time allotted, and the hypocrisy involved lent itself to both illuminating commentary on what daily fantasy really is, and for the silly comedy that the show excels at. I especially appreciated the final point -- that daily fantasy is clearly gambling, and that's not bad necessarily, but that gambling is regulated to protect people so it matters what we call this type of enterprise. The fake commercial at the end, with Seth Rogen and Kathryn Hahn's segment in particular, had the right mix of satirizing the Fan Duel/Draft Kings talking points, but also just going for broke on fun, character comedy.
This is what the show does at its best -- educate, expose, and entertain. Glad to see it!
