WE DID IT, GUYS! WE SAVED INTERNATIONAL WATERS!

Unfortunately Dan Harmon has been fired and Chevy is going to phone it in until he quits anyway. And yet somehow get renewed again after that.

YESSSSS!

I like the show format without a guest, it still feels fun and I like more time with the contestants. This episode was so much fun.

The Soft core or video game segment is terrific, a great addition to the show. And if it wasn't written by Jordan i'll eat my hat.

I have to say that when I first saw the title, "You're Welcome, Posterity" I was afraid that this was the final goodbye episode of International Water. When Humphrey said it as part of the show, I was relieved beyond words. I do hope we all made a difference during the MaxFunDrive and we can keep looking forward to more episodes.

I would also like to voice my support for the revised format of the past couple shows with the removal of the celebrity pitch segment. I never realized it was out of place within the show until it was removed. So, whether it was a creative decision or a cost savings measure I support it.

As fun as "porn or video game" was, I'd rather not see it as a regular part of the show as it doesn't really fit with the theme. The Card Sharks type round was amazing! More of that please!

How does it not fit with the theme? The theme is pop culture quiz.

I'm so incredibly glad this show got saved. And I voted that "soft core vs. video game" become a regular segment. Although I'm slightly ashamed I scored very well in that round.

I don't want to rain on the parade, but it's not quite saved yet. I'm working on some ideas to keep making it, but it isn't assured at all. Not a threat or anything, I just don't want people to feel betrayed if something does happen.

The theme as I understand it is American and British culture, in opposition and tandem. Games and softcore porn are culturally significant, but don't feel international.

This episode was GREAT. I agree that the pitch section was not missed. Not to say that it didn't work, but with four fab comedian guests and Jesse's hilarious hosting, there's more than enough hijinx! (And one less person to compensate?)

I upped my donation this year to help save it, but I kind of figured IW wasn't out of the woods yet. But I'm just happy to get any at this point! Each new episode will be like delicious rich thick gravy. (I still really hope you can keep it going, though!)

"Playing for the country whose national flavor is 'plain'..."

Holy moly the jokes were so damn good in this episode.

I really enjoyed this episode. Cameron and Humphry are two of my favorite guests. Cameron's belted penis joke put me on the floor I was laughing so hard.

I hope IW can continue on, but I certainly understand the constraints of producing this show. To paraphrase Jesse, keep it up!
