Bleeding meat substitutes.

As a vegetarian I'm gonna say overrated.

I've found veggie burgers lacking in many ways,

but the fact they don't bleed is

at the bottom of that list.

(drum roll)

Overrated in that they...

I feel like people rely on them a lot

to decide their opinion of New York.

And I just think we need to throw some new ones in the mix

like the millennial graphic designer.

Or the dog sweater Etsy shop owner.

(drum roll)

Nose hair extensions.

I would say underrated.

Let's redefine those standards of beauty.

Let's focus on different parts of our face

and spend more money on them.

(drums roll)

I'm gonna say underrated.

Let's get Hale and Hearty.

I would be happy to endorse them

and be sponsored by them.

I think it would be great to see people walking around

with hot cups of soup instead of coffee.

Then when you accidentally splash it and get burned,

there might be a noodle in the mix,

really change things up.

(drum roll)

I'm gonna say overrated.

I think we could do a lot more with space.

I feel like weaponizing it is just unimaginative.

We could go start-up with it

and just put ping-pong tables everywhere,

some bean bag chairs,

kombucha on tap.

I think weaponizing it is short-sided.

(drum roll)

I'll say underrated.

Cause I, myself tend towards hoarder-like tendencies.

And I feel like I always go for easy things like tote bags

old issues of

catalogs that I don't remember signing up for.

But if I could be like, Well actually you know,

that tote bag used to belong to John Wayne Gacy.

I feel like it would up the banter at my dinner parties

that I still have yet to throw.

(drum roll)

I think overrated in that it feels like

they could both be catfishing each other at the same time.

(drum roll)

Child actors.

I'll say overrated.

I think we can do better than

exploiting humans who are young.

Let's exploit the very old.

(drum roll)

I'm gonna say underrated.

As a stand-up comedian it is kind of upsetting

when you see someone in shorts onstage.

Something about it is deeply disturbing.

But in that sense when I do

see someone with shorts onstage,

I am immediately invested.

(drum roll)

Oh life.

I'll say overrated.

Yeah.

I guess that's a weird way to say I'm pro-choice but...
