Friends don't send friends links to geo-locked video clips.

Geo-locked? That’s strange. Where? I can watch here in Germany. Despite having to endure ads which are in no way relevant for me.

I thought only Hulu was geo-locked. People might simply not know that something is geo-locked if it’s only unavailable in a few places. The sites (regrettably) don’t come with a warning.

You're not allowed to submit links like this to HN, because HN is too serious and important for humor. Cue the censorious "we're becoming just like reddit" comments...

The mainstream media does not understand the internet? Incomprehensible!

On the contrary, I think they understand exactly what this site is about and are happy to demonize it, possibly to the extent that they can get the powers that be to introduce restrictions on online video so that we can all go back to getting our spoon-fed media.

No, I think they're morons. That seems more consistent.

Unavailable in the UK.

Unavailable in the UK.

That’s both mean and strange.

What possible gain could there be from excluding the UK and (seemingly) allowing access in continental Europe?

IIRC, (a version of) The Daily Show is broadcast on UK television. We wouldn't want competition now, would we?

Tin foil hatted.

Brian Williams really has some phenomenal comedy cameos. I'm thinking of 30 Rock, and it seems like he keeps popping up all over the place.

He's a genius. Read his Soprano's recaps for Slate from a few years back: http://www.slate.com/id/2163797/entry/2163798/
