I believe Sam literally is just a human torso with the HAI logo attached for a head

Aww don't be like that, your video was Memeier, and isn't that the victory we were looking for all along? Plus I had the home field advantage since apparently, I am a U.S employee now...

Love the “uh, we run ads” was what Zuck said there too

in the beginning Sam should've said: "This video was made possible by HAI" because technically the mistakes are only possible when HAI publishes content.

"I over trusted my aviation advisors over at Wendover Productions..." I thought HAI was Wendover's aviation advisors... Uh oh...

CGP grey: I made a mistake. Makes whole video talking about his missiles and stuff. Hai: mistakes = content

I love the idea of HAI being dragged before the Senate over his video mistakes Let’s make it happen!

*Ting: you'll get 25$ off ur phone bill* *Europeans: wait, since when do phone bills cost more than 25$?*

Just leave the linguistics part to Tom Scott from now on and you'll avoid those future court interrogations.

Just calculated how much I save with ting. Ting is 25$ more expensive than my current one. A month.

Ørmen is not pronounced "ORmen", this got to be mentioned next year. :/

5:47 "Least viewed video," meanwhile one with fewer views is right next to it. While it is only an announcement, it is still a video.

You didn't even list the fact that at 5:18 in the "The Mathematical Loophole that Broke the Lottery" video, you said "$484,463.5" but put "$484,206" on the screen.

Sam: I mean, surely one of you guys have laughed at some of my jokes, right? Beatty: *"Obviously that's a no"*

1:54 In summary, random long password > long word-based password > passw0rd123-style things xkcd wasn't wrong because it was comparing the last two, but the commenters were because they thought a word-based password could beat a randomly generated one of the same length

"The six people in the world who care about euchre" I guess the population of Michigan is six

Love how Warren just changes her outfit in the middle of the inquiry.

HAI: *exists* Literaly everyone in congress: *I'm about to destroy this man's whole career*

Ok, the Congress segment was legit brilliant Edit: Also, somehow, you got dragged before both Houses of Congress simoultaneously

2:04 Screenshot Missing - look forward to this appearing in the "Mistakes We Made in The Mistake Video"

Fun thing about Whangarei: I live there! Also, the very particular thing you did of mispronouncing the name like that was actually a hot button issue for New Zealanders for a while. The pronounciation of Maori names in New Zealand was (kinda still is???) a weird micro culture war. Te Reo Maori (Literally "The Language Maori") did not have a system for writing before European colonists arrived in New Zealand, so when one was eventually created it used 'wh' to represent their /f/ sounds because the way the indigenous Maori produced their F sounds was different than most languages using the Latin alphabet; instead of using their teeth and bottom lip to produce the fricative sound, they did something more akin to pursing their lips and blowing. So Whangarei is pronounced Fung-uh-rey. ...at least it should be, but that's where this lil culture war pops up: Some Pakeha (White/NZ European) people in New Zealand spent a couple decades (or maybe centuries who knows) pronouncing Maori names distinctly more English, even at times when this literally was not how they were spellt. A local mountain in Whangarei, for example, is called Parihaka, and is proncounced exactly how it's spelled. Yet for some reason a lot of people ended up pronouncing it "Para-Hackey". And this ended up happening for a lot of Maori names, with probably the funniest example being when people called Whakatane (F*ck-a-tarn-eh) as "Whack-a-tain". In the last couple of decades there's been a greater push to preserve and respect Maori culture. One small part of this has been putting more emphasis on not bastardizing their place names for no reason - and to be clear, this is not a case of language shifting naturally; the Maori have been pronouncing all of these words the same the whole time. Some racist older people got really upset that "they're trying to change the way it's said!" and were quite bothered that they were being told they'd been saying it wrong the whole time, or that the place they'd grown up was no longer called what they had always called it. So for a while you had this group of people that would very insistently pronounce all these place names wrong deliberately and get very intense if you tried to correct them or even pronounce it different from them in conversation, because in their eyes they were taking a stand against linguistic oppression or something. The whole thing has died down now and aside from a few very very racist holdouts people say the correct names. But yeah, that's the story of how Sam accidentally engaged in a racist dumpsterfire by pronouncing a word with a "wa" instead of a "fa".

0:22 Can you make a video explaining the economics of the industry that makes these stock videos. Honestly, who tf makes these and how much do you have to pay for them.

Thanks for owning up to your errors, while also doing so in the most sassy way possible.

We all make mistakes, that’s what makes us humans. But making a series all about admitting your mistakes is a step up

4:24 that video also misspells the name of the Georgian capital Tbilisi.

XKCD is not wrong - it says that given the same knowledge of the password requirements the second is easier for a human to remember, and the first is easier for a computer to crack - XKCD's example is easier to crack, as it is CommonWord+with standard substitutions + symbol + number - yours is harder

Sam: is that a threat **karen noises intensifies**

It's been three years? I swear you made the announcement on Wendover no more than a year ago it really doesn't feel that long.

Random Fact: The woman who invented chocolate chip cookies, sold the idea to Nestlé, for a lifetime supply of chocolate. - Daily Fun Facts

Other channels: "Nooo you can't profit from mistakes!" HAI: "Haha correction video goes brrrrrrrrrrr."

“Lawnchair Larry is our least viewed video” The podcast no one asked for: Well hello there

Plot Twist: He purposely makes mistakes to make this video

Comrades don’t make mistakes, we make happy little accidents

"Tokyo Grift" is funny to me since HAI is Japanese for YES. (I tried to make a linguistics joke out of this but it was a bit too oblique.)

I’m so upset! Lawn chair Larry is literally my FAVORITE episode!! I rewatch it pretty frequently because it’s such an epic story lmao

Hi Sam, I am a commercial Pilot on a 737. Under EASA rules you don't need "certain amount of hours" to keep up the currency of the rating a pilot holds but certain amount of take offs and landings. Usually 3 take off and 3 landings within 90 day period, a simulator every year for Licensce proficiency check and Line oriented evaluation as well as a Line check flight every 2 years. The 3 take off and 3 landings can be done in a simulator meaning a pilot can go months without flying an airplane and then operate a flight with passengers.

Now I have to wait A WHOLE OTHER YEAR before the mistake in this video is revealed!

6:25 - Dialect coach Erik Singer may be able to shed light on which should really be circled.

I like that you make these videos. It demonstrates humility and a desire to learn and grow from your mistakes, which will make the channel even better

Omg! The court room scenes are freaking hilarious and amazing.

mistake at 3:50, only 4 people care about Euchre not 6, as seen in Euchre's very exciting Wikipedia page where it says "Players: 4" 😎

Half as interesting doesn't lie. They just make room for self corrections.

The senate hearing shtick was incredible! Loved it. Thanks for all the hard work you do. Good luck making less mistakes this year😎

I'm so furious at your mistakes that I've decided to continue being subscribed to you for the rest of my life!

Me, getting a PhD in Linguistics, casually enjoying an HAI video: Sam: 6:26 Me: :(

"Lawnchair Larry is the least viewed video" *watches the video on loop*

I love the senate hearings harassing you, but seriously your videos are the highlights of my week. Thank you!

I laugh at nearly all your jokes. That's one reason why I subscribed to you. Knowledge plus humour.

2:13 WENDOVER CONFIRMED

HAI doesnt make mistakes, it just leads into new episodes.

Absolutely love the meta hai content like the brick film on nebula and the court case here, it's really entertaining for long term hai fans!

I love your videos! 😂 This is actually super cool to show the mistakes!

This video is 11 months old but hey it’s a video involving correcting pronunciation errors. For the Chinese dynasties: Táng is pronounced with a soft a. The hard a sound doesn’t exist in Mandarin Chinese (there is possibly a debate to be had over why we use Mandarin names for historical places or figures that predate the dialect, but that’s for another day) Suí is pronounced like the word “sway.” In pinyin romanization, the letters u and i do refer to the sounds “oo” and “ee” when the vowels are used independently, but together are pronounced like “way”… for some reason. If I recall correctly, the pinyin was designed to make Chinese generally easier to teach, not specifically for English speakers like some older systems I’ll give you a pass on the tones though. I spent 8 years learning Chinese and I still manage to bungle them sometimes

1 dislike already? The haters have hit the bell on

I've been waiting for this the whole year!

Thanks for these. Honestly. The best part about learning is figuring out where you're wrong

6:26 "linguistics also sucks" _angry Tom Scott noises_

Sam already messed up again by pronouncing Sui Dynasty as "Swee" Dynasty instead of the correct pronunciation of "Sway" Dynasty. Hope to see that corrected in HAI mistakes 4.

this is your funniest video yet, especially the sam i am part

Great video! I love your sense of humor!!

HAI guy: “This one about Lawnchair Larry because it is out least popular video ever” Announcing a new podcast the nobody asked for: Am I a joke to you?

BRO last time I was this early was never

I love that you make these videos. It really diffuses the haters if you're giving yourself as much shit as they are haha

Only Sam could get a company to sponsor a video literally entirely made of mistakes. Nice one Sam ;)

find the mistake in this video that will be referenced in next year’s video 👀

The last time I was just early he was still addicted to planes oh wait

HAI is the only channel that finds a good use for mistakes. So this means that purposely making mistakes gives them more content. This makes all of us happy lol.

I mean the implication for the xkcd comic was that word passwords scale better for human only password storage since 5 words at random can be more easily recalled than an equivalent set of random characters.

On that vowel space diagram you showed, there's severals points around it, represententing all the distinct vowel sounds. Next to each point is a unrounded sound to the left and a rounded sound to the right. Rounding literally just refers to if the lips are relaxed or being... rounded. To show that the vowel has been fronted, you would move the circle to the next leftmost point, showing that the vowel has changed to a different distinct vowel that is futher forward in the mouth. Instead you circled the vowel to the left of the same point, showing that the vowel was no longer rounded. ʉ would have been the vowel to go to, as it is still rounded, but further forward in the mouth. PS - please make more linguistics videos :(

4:55 Not to be that guy, but you pronounced "Sui" incorrectly. It's actually pronounced [swěi]. PS. I think It's funny that you mispronounced something in this kind of video. Anyhow, I like your videos, keep it up!

This was a really funny video! I like how you inserted yourself into a Congressional hearing.

This is my favorite video of the year. Well done, I couldn't stop laughing.

Hey, another mistake is your name, I always think people try to say hi to me when they say your name, confusing.

Mistake in a misstake video in a missedtale video it's a enlus bo-cycle

I really enjoy these videos - thanks Sam lol

These mistakes videos are hilarious, and I love how you worked in a congressional hearing. LOL. (I noticed the "no easy solution to NULL" one, too - lazy people should not be allowed to program computers, but then there probably wouldn't be many programmers; though, lower supply is good for the wages of the few of us who care /digress)

"which really upset the 6 people who play euchure" dude you're about to have the *entirety* of the state of michigan breaking down your doorstep

5:38 "and was replaced by Christian Oarman" Oof. I'm used to foreigners butchering my language, but that mispronunciation is ironic given the video topic. Honestly though, I can't even figure out how to write that phonetically in English, so maybe it should be excused. That said Ø ≠ O, and it's an E, not an A.

By far one of the funniest videos I’ve watched in a long time! I was laughing out loud hahah

Mistake at 3:15 Sam said the title was not words, only one problem there... they are words. I can only imagine Sam was referencing that the title "Why Highway Where Cars are Banned" is not a proper sentence.

5:45 Technically 2nd least viewed video of all time if you're counting the announcement video?

“Announcing a new podcast that nobody asked for” has less views than Lawnchair Larry... add this to corrections 4?

This was amazing!!! I love how someone is finally making fun of congresspersons being jerks! I'd love to see Sam really being questioned by the Senate! (P.S. as a Grand Rapids native I must declare that Gerald R. Ford belongs completely to Grand Rapids!)

admitting you made mistakes making a video of it (and adressing every mistake) THAT is why i like your channel kudos

In the Eruv video, you pronounced the Hebrew words "eruv" and "melacha" like a gentile. Here's how you pronounce each one respectively: עירוב/eruv forvo.com/word/%D7%A2%D7%99%D7%A8%D7%95%D7%91/#he מלאכה/melacha forvo.com/word/%D7%9E%D7%9C%D7%90%D7%9B%D7%94/#he Granted, the "ch" sound in melacha (the unvoiced uvular fricative) is hard for anyone who speaks English as a first language to pronounce, if one did not grow up knowing how to pronounce it. You could get by if you pronounce it like a strong H, though

Quick! Someone find a mistake in this episode for season 4!

I'm late to the party here, but man this was a great format for a mistakes video! Very very well done, very funny, upright: respect!

Zuckerburg getting flamed is such a hilarious video and I'm so glad this video reminded me about it.

FACT is, he is a great creator, and he is a public FIGURE. #FACTS_AND_FIGURES ❤️❤️❤️🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵

4:56 you mispronounced “sui” im crying it’s pronounced “sway”

5:09 stock footage never ceases to be interesting

I just assumed the Australian one was a coincidence you just happened to do it at the same time. Anyone, thanks for the awesome videos you make, you're my 3rd favourite youtube channel (a touch behind Economics Explained)

Doesn't it look like he makes mistakes on purpose just so that he can make an extra video every year?

It's still Bison even though people have been wrong for a long time...they are still wrong.

Darn it HAI I wanted to watch a (HAI) video while eating lunch earlier today and you just uploaded now???

The best channel which combines knowledge with some smokey jokes

5:39 You mispronounced Kristian Ørmen, in Danish it's supposed to pronounced like a schwa.

5 seconds ago lol

That committee hearing was hilarious. Bravo.

It's nice that you can make a video admitting to your mistakes and still get paid for it. Lets you continue pumping out daily videos, and then just cop to the errors later. Brilliant!!
