Reddit Discussion Points: REDDIT LINK
- Rixty Minutes was the first episode of Television to premiere on Instagram. Obnoxious marketing decision or brilliant obnoxious marketing decision? Did any of you take the time to watch it in 15second increments? Did you wait until the television premiere?
- Obligatory: What’s your favorite sketch & Why? What’s your least favorite sketch & why?
  Bryan mentioned that the original story for Ball Fondlers involved Ninja-Turtles characters who had to fondle each other’s balls to charge up their super powers. Are you happy with how it turned out? How does that make you feel inside?
- Follow-up If you could see a spin-off series based on one of the interdimensional TV sketches, which one do you think would have the most potential as an independent series?
- Give me your best example of something on youtube/the internet-at-large that would be at home on the Interdimensional TV Guide List. Ya know, some real /r/deepintoyoutube / r/interdimensionalcable shit.

Blood Dome Battle League

Ants In My Eyes Johnson vs Tophat Jones
- What happened?
  - Janine Turpie Tophat Jones was ceremoniously slaughtered by small children, Ants in my Eyes Johnson successfully lit himself on fire and didn’t feel a thing. Ants in my Eyes Johnson is an unstoppable force of accidental bad-assery, I wouldn’t want to fight him.
  - Addison Graves Top Hat all the way. He lived through two people cutting him open and eating out of his intestines. Ants in my eyes only lived through the fire because he didn’t have any working nerves. Plus he’s blind he would die in a fight quickly. Although top hat did get his ass beat by a couple of little kids. Still, I say top hat
  - Craig Beam Can I write in Garmanarnar? I feel like he’d win any battle.
