I like how Tom always talks to us like we are on a train that's starting to slowly pull away from the station, and he's jogging along side it trying to give us profound life-changing information before we never see each other again.

Tom Scott's animator could've animated the Cats movie and actually would've made it look good

I mean, on kinda "oldschool" sitcoms it gives some sort of "charm" to it, the bad CGI, bad greenscreen, the way they drive the cars and the background in the cars, it really screams sitcom to me..

On the elevator, the shadows they cast on the wall also look hideous.

In college we had to make a video that combined filmed footage and 3D rendering. The single biggest mistake people made was that the filmed footage was a bit blurry (as we didn't have great equipment), and the 3D renders were super sharp. You could have everything else right, and it still seems wrong if you add crystal sharp renders on blurry footage.
So I just blurred the renders and it looks a 1000 times more convincing.

Fun fact: instead of green screens, the mandolorian used big L.E.D screens.

Sound also plays a factor, you can hear the reverb as Tom is sitting a small room where as being outside it wouldn't be there at all.

Your animator deserves cookies for this, those badly done green screen parts were perfect.

Tom: "This is how green screen can go wrong and possible steps to avoid it"
Me, who only photoshops glasses onto cats: "hmm....yess.."

That Big Bang shot isn't green screen. They literally filmed it in front of a printed backdrop. Same result with the wrong lighting, but not green screen.
