Best explanation I've seen so far!

You made an error around 4:00 when you made |vxy| = 4 > p, as p=3 in that case, so the pumping lemma cannot be correctly used.

At 5:05 since vxy has length at most p it should be clear(considering length equal to p) that vxy can only cover 1 or 2 of the 3 numbers, pumping 1 or 2 of the 3 numbers will create inequality.

0:51 I think it should be clarified that for |vy| > 0 either v or y can be empty but not both. Other than that, solid explanation!

Wonderful video! Just a small flaw: Until 8:08, I think you are missing two situations: v=0, y=0; and v=2, y=2. Since the length of vxy is smaller than p, it is also possible that vxy are all in 0 or all in 2. Have a nice day :P

Great video! I just want to ask for the logic behind using the pumping lemma. So in order to prove that a language is not context free I have to aim for a word that does not meet the requirements for all the possible choices I can make using the given things like the length of uxy etc.
