15:35 That screw repeatedly not going in properly is a pain we've all felt, and it's just there as a filler shot and goes unacknowledged.

Hah, yeah, i saw it happen and the narrator just kept going, i had fully expected a remark on that. Maybe the "perfect" that he mentions was sarcastic, but it didn't sound like it.

42:30 That is a pretty hilarious "backstory", haha. I did always wonder about his feet, because he always seems to wear those orthopedic-looking boots, and his feet do look quite tiny. Pretty funny that it gets "acknowledged" with a scene like this, Jamie Geishaman.

Gasoline on a cool metal plate vs on a hot, black road surface should make quite a bit of difference to how much vapor there is available for flame propagation.

Which country? 67 countries have English as an official language, and that’s not counting those who have English as the ubiquitous language so it doesn’t need to be made official. (lol sorry to be pedantic but it’s the internet, right? I agree though, what a language!) Oh, edit to give this context: I’m from a non-American, English-speaking country where English is not an official language. Yet.
