-Projecting Earth like this is not possible to do without distortion because the Earth is not flat and then every projection is a compromise. But normally the projections try to be useful in some way while less precise on other situations. In this series, however, Randall do not try to make anything useful but just makes fun of the idea of many different projections, even calling them all Bad Map Projections.

He especially focused on map projections, which are various ways to show the Earth on a flat surface, as in [[977: Map Projections]]. This is not possible to do without distortion because the Earth is not flat.{{cn}} These map projections each get a number, which, if taken seriously, would mean there are at least 349 other, as the highest number so far is 358 and as of 2025 there have been released only nine bad map projections.
