Plot holes & issues

I know it's satirical and cartoonish so it's not to be taken seriously at all or be logical in any way, but I'll point these out:

1) For some reason, Pack is still wearing a tie.

2) It's been two weeks and there's still airline food left. How well-stocked was the plane? I know they're supplementing it with boar, but come on.

3) How did the satellite phone lose power so quickly? Don't they have excellent batteries, attachments to charge them with solar panels, and/or with a hand crank?

4) They couldn't remember any phone number to call on the satellite phone, except a hospital and Pack's assistant. I know it's a commentary on how, thanks to cell phones, numbers are dialed manually less & less these days and people are less likely to actually know the numbers of the people they call most frequently, but in reality several of the survivors would know several numbers to call. Somewhere in the wreckage there must be a number for the airline.

I think you answered all of your own questions right there, so I fail to see the point.

Uh, its not hard to believe at all that four millennials couldn't come up with anything more than a hospital, a drug dealer, a place of work, and Papa John's.

My wife made me memorize her cell number in case of emergency, and aside from that I literally can't rattle off another phone number from memory. Now that I think about it, I'm not 100% on my wife's number. There's one digit I'm not sure if it's a 1 or a 3.

I can remember my doctor's number but that's about it - it's really easy to remember too. But even then, what are the dialing requirements for a Satellite phone? You'd need to know if it was 0011 to call 'international' or if that was default, the country code of the country you are calling (hopefully Americans would know they are '1' for phones lol), area code etc if it's a wired phone.. as for mobile numbers, I used to remember some of my relatives as I had a home phone for a long time I would use instead of a mobile, so would always be punching it in. But since they passed, I only remember that one hah.

It has plot holes already? It's been on for a minute and a half.

If it rains every night, why hasn't the bottom of the pit turned to mud yet?

(I chuckled at Todd's idea that "maybe if it rains, I can swim my way out"...of course, he'd be standing in muddy water for days before it ever reached the point of escape!)

I loved that line too. But wouldn't he sink before he could swim out?

Wearing a tie is a plot hole? I stopped reading there.

I hope you dropped an imaginary mic right there.

Pack would still be wearing his jacket if he could get it off the giant non-English speaking man that took it. And driving his leased Audi around the island.

I don't think you know what a plot hole is.
