On numerous occasions I've found it hilarious/disturbing to be at a bar or club or wherever and people are dancing to or singing along without a clue to some song that, if they actually listented to and understood the lyrics, would make them question their existence.

I love each and every one of the programs you listed. The debaters is always hilarious and quirks and quarks, well, I'm a nerd and being in the middle of the wilderness and geeking out on that show was the pinnacle of existence.
They've been abducting since day 1.
