Compliment sandwich

The Compliment Sandwhich is the oldest and grandest of RiaW tropes. In the very first episode Alex spontanteously decided that they begin and end on a compliment. (The surprise is not that this idea-by-happenstance worked so well, but that Alex was willing to compliment anything.)

They have since then began and ended with a compliment, thus making a "compliment sandwhich." This makes the show "fair and legitimate criticism", rather than attempt to make another joke at the topic's expense by simply changing the words "I hate..." to "I love..." [something fucking ridiculous].

The origins of the compliment sandwich was explained in their first year anniversary show.
