      It was basically a Mitch Hedberg impression. The "reluctant sponsor" joke was extremely similar to Mitch's "complicated payment" joke. It's like he was just writing in Mitch's style from that point on from the brevity of the jokes down to his very intonation. It's the best Mitch Hedberg impression I've ever seen.

    For anyone wondering, O.K. is radio shorthand for "Oll Korrect" and has been used as an affirmative since the 1830's.

    Funny thing, but what "OK" stands for is "All Correct". It comes from some old New York slang from like a hundred years ago or something, where people would use different letters for words (All Correct = Oll Korrect) and so "All Correct" got shortened to "OK". It's the only bit of this old slang that survived...and that's probably a good thing.

    OK stands for Oll Korrect, a humorous misspelling. It caught on and now is the world's most popular word, found in almost all languages.

    OK started as an abbreviation of Oll Korrect, a deliberate misspelling of "all correct".
    That's even more hilarious. Your friend falls down and you're like...
    "Are you all correct???
    Did some part of you get screwed into the wrong place?????"
    "Independence day was an all correct movie."
    "Your behavior is NOT all correct!!!"
