Bill Hader meets his and our god, Keith Morrison
Bill Hader's impersonation of Dateline's Keith Morrison has all but replaced the real Keith Morrison in my personal appreciation of Keith Morrison-ness: a folksy, overeager narrative of tragedy made perversely explicit. So it's a delight to see them in the same room.
Here's the classic parody:
I'd very much like to see the Hader-Morrison deepfake.

Man creates a snarky review of his office's janky $1K/yr water cooler
"My company signed up for a $1000/year subscription-based water cooler. It was just so sketchy that I had to make a review," writes Redditor kibitzor on his office's ION Bottleless Water Cooler.
The video that follows is an amusing takedown of the machine as he tries to dispense a simple glass of "mildly carbonated" water from it.
