SNAFU with Ed Helms
S4E23: Chelsea Handler and The Hindenburg

And that brings us to the Hindenburg, which was named after former German President Paul von Hindenburg.

Construction began in 1931, and it was the biggest airship ever built.

There had been actually a lot of airships.

work over the last 30 years.

S4E23: Chelsea Handler and The Hindenburg

Chelsea, why do we keep equating the biggest ever built with the best or like the smartest thing?

SNAFU with Ed Helms
S4E23: Chelsea Handler and The Hindenburg

Well, you're so right.

SNAFU with Ed Helms
S4E23: Chelsea Handler and The Hindenburg

Also, SUVs, right?

SNAFU with Ed Helms
S4E23: Chelsea Handler and The Hindenburg

There was a time in the 80s when cars got very small and efficient.

SNAFU with Ed Helms
S4E23: Chelsea Handler and The Hindenburg

And then all of a sudden, everyone just wanted, like, these tanks.

SNAFU with Ed Helms
S4E23: Chelsea Handler and The Hindenburg

Yeah, they give off, to me, RoboCop vibes.

SNAFU with Ed Helms
S4E23: Chelsea Handler and The Hindenburg

Yeah.

SNAFU with Ed Helms
S4E23: Chelsea Handler and The Hindenburg

It's like 80s violence.

SNAFU with Ed Helms
S4E23: Chelsea Handler and The Hindenburg

It just looks like a violent vehicle.

The best lie is partial truth.
