Well, I wouldn't go that far. Satire has a long and distinguished history, to the ancient Greeks and further. He's very talented though.
-
I think he is just getting better and better.

Satire - More like Lehrire! ;) He practically invented it.

Well, in the first part (same title, and on the same YT channel) he mentions '1943' being 'fifty-four years ago', implying that it was recorded in '97.

and what profession are you, may I ask? (well, it worked when Feynman said it about a psychologist...)
I don't think it is possible to be overcritical of anyone who claims sociology is a 'science'. Of course it may be a valuable A level if you intend to teach in primary schools (or something like that), but to study it at uni and become a 'social science researcher'? Pfft!

"MIT did not have a sociology dep't, they hadn't sunk that low". LOL. Reminds me of grafiti, by the toilet paper holder when I was at college, which read " Sociology degrees, please take one!"
Tom Lehrer is the wittiest American I have heard, he knows the comic value of irony.

Place? Well, it's a college lecture hall, so it could possibly be UC Santa Cruz, where Lehrer now teaches.
As far as date, from some of the time-specific references ("That's Mathematics" in 1993 and Ted Kaczynski), I'd guess 1996 or later.
Anybody know for sure?
