Why the discrepancy between what's showing in the instructor's console in the video and mine?

In the lesson "Debug JavaScript in the Console," how am I to understand the discrepancy between what the instructor's console is showing and what is on mine? I followed his typing exactly in my workspace but he gets only one error message at a time, while my console screen is filled with dozens of error messages, going to line numbers 100+ (when I only typed four lines of code, following what the instructor did).

(I got to my console by using Launch Workspace and then Control+Shift+J, to bring up the console.)

Can you post a screenshot of your errors?
