Paul and Morgan discuss various similes for life, then walk through a fair, discussing how various elements of the carnival might be considered as aspects of life. They establish that life is like a metaphor - it doesn't have to make sense.

Trivia

• The in-video title and the DVD read, "Life is Like a Video."
• Yes, we know they're similes. 'Metaphor' sounds better.
• This video contained a short clip after the credits announcing the release of the Season 2 DVDs.
• Matt maintains that Morgan's hat looks like "spermatozoa swimming towards a misshapen ovum". The rest of LRR disagrees.
  • Graham won the hat at the same annual fair several years prior.
  • The hat also appeared in the The LRR Year One Retrospective video.
