Today I'm going to tell you a bit about the company
1
8589
2360
00:11
and show you exactly what we do here
2
11060
2300
00:14
What I'm excited to show you today
is complete company transparency.
3
14060
3920
00:17
Due to some recent concerns from some of our customers
4
17980
2860
00:20
I'd like to show you the process of exactly how we make those monsters
5
20940
3560
00:24
that you love to see

First I'd like to introduce you to Offal JimJam.
7
29460
3260
00:36
Offal JimJam was our first attempt at making a monster
8
36620
2920
00:39
Sure he's big and he's strong and he's dangerous,
9
39660
2400
00:42
but we wanted to do more.
10
42160
1460
00:43
So let me show you exactly how we improve our monsters.
11
43940
2920
00:50
To improve a monster, we have to compare it
12
50800
2240
00:53
to one we have.
So what we need to do
13
53050
2410
00:55
is write a comparative sentence into our computer
14
55460
3320
03:30
and that, that makes science happen.
15
210000
2360
03:32
So as you can see after writing in a comparative sentence,
16
212920
3120
03:36
we've created a new villain.
17
216040
2190
03:38
Let's meet Charlie!
18
218230
840
03:43
So as you can see, Charlie is smarter, heavier,
19
223880
3120
03:47
and more dangerous
than Offal JimJam.
20
227560
2840
03:50
That's how we compare things in English,
and that's how we make our monsters;
21
230840
3800
03:56
comparative sentences
22
236040
1920
03:58
So comparative sentences are easy, right?
23
238320
2340
04:33
Now I'd like to show you what we're most proud of
24
273620
2600
04:36
our latest two villains.
25
276220
2000
04:38
We didn't want just something bad, evil, fast,
26
278360
3220
04:41
and beautiful. No. We wanted the number 1
of those things in the world!
27
281750
4500
04:46
A superlative supervillain!
28
286410
2080
04:48
and to write a superlative sentence
29
288490
2280
04:50
it would look something like this:
30
290840
2300
05:29
And so this
this is Ladyrella
31
329290
2180
05:31
she's the fastest,
prettiest,
32
331470
2380
05:33
most beautiful,
and most evil villain we've ever created.
33
333850
3190
05:37
However...
34
337040
3680
05:48
This is what we're most proud of
35
348320
2360
05:51
We wanted a villain who showed strength, but
also glamour!
36
351000
3720
05:54
But we wanted the number 1 of that in the
world
37
354730
3200
05:58
So introducing
38
358320
1440
06:00
The most glamourous!
The strongest villain in the world
39
360600
4000
06:04
We simply call him
40
364680
1760
06:06
"One"
41
366740

06:48
