Rounds: Here.

Disclaimer: I watched this episode when it first aired, and although I did not recall any of it I cannot rule out memory being a factor.

Just the summary for now, as I'm still very behind.

First break: AIRY HILT ("Caused by banana skins, cream pies, and whoopee cushions")

That sounds like slapstick to me, but they clearly want HILARITY.

David's talk is about words derived from log, in the sense of a record: blog, celeblog, vlog, and flog.
