I just watched the video through to the end, finding that, though done with humor, it's really quite serious. Anyone who's never before considered fonts seriously could start learning the fundamentals just by watching. There was even an explanation of why serif fonts are used for blocks of text.

The problem with Comic Sans isn't its design but the fact that it's been used for anything and everything without any thought put into the choice. It's a comic book font, but I'm so dad-blamed sick of seeing it all over the place that I'd rather see ink blobs than Comic Sans in a balloon. :(
