Next up: Humble Standup Comedy Bundle with Lewis CK, Jim Gaffigan and others..

I'd buy this. I didn't have any interest in standup comedy until Louis CK made the news here, and I was pleasantly surprised. I'd jump at the chance to broaden my collection and support the comedians at the same time.
Incidentally, it's Louis CK. I point it out because you spelled it like it's spelled rather than like it sounds ("Louie"), which is an extremely atypical spelling mistake :)
Parent is probably not a native English speaker - I can see that behaviour in myself too. I'd typically think about some words the way I'd read them in my native language, even if I'd never actually pronounce them that way. That makes it easier to make a spelling mistake that's keeping the word close to the original spelling (for example the "s" is pretty strong when I "think" Louis, even if I would never pronounce it).
There are some benefits to that - there's no way to make a mistake with they're/their... they're two completely different words!
