    Nick Kroll's humor relies more on funny dialogue than visual jokes. And the part of this video that's actually funny (I mean agree or not) is not the captions but him talking throughout.

    I love how people dislike this video apparently out of a misguided expectation of this famously sarcastic comedian taking this challenge seriously. He won't. He's going to riff and put intentionally bad captions. And it's hilarious, and I want more of it.

    They should reveal the original captions at the end of these segments. That way we can see what the cartoonists intended vs. the comedian's interpretation. I know it's for the caption contest, but they could do previous cartoons or cartoons about to be published.
