comedy podcast thread

[badhat]

Big Jay is hilarious. I haven't listened yet but I saw in the description that he talks about his closer. It's the one about watching his friend have sex with the asian chick right. I think I can do that joke pretty much word for word.

no its about him stripping down to a g string to "also spake zarathustra"

[Cronos]

holy fucking shit. Well all the times I've seen him he closes on a joke about watching this asian chick get fucked by his friend that's pretty hilarious. I'm going to listen to this episode today and try not to obviously laugh while I'm working.

[badhat]

oh god the bit where the dude pulls the gun on him "i used to be scared of RAIN"

[jewels]

I loved that Mark and Tom show so much, I could listen to them talk to each other forever. That hour of work flew by.

[badhat]

i really love and have always loved tom and when i am in the mood, i love best show but i would really love to hear him on something tighter and more focused.

i dont love the scharpling and wurster bits as much as the FoT cult does. i prefer it when hes just fucking with callers or riffing with smart guests.

not to read too much into this but it is interesting that the Marc and Tom show was 59m58s. like perfect pilot/demo length.

[Buddy Glass]

Any courageous souls braved the Diablo Cody ep yet?

[badhat]

ugh

i have it cued up but the combo of how pervy marc gets with female guests who has stories about thier sexuality and how annoying she is...

[badhat]

like the 12 year old girl who called best show last week and just talked about the beatles with him made me smile so huge....

[badhat]

i listened to the hardwick nerdist freakout like 5 times last night though.

it was just so priceless.

Just read about maybe THE worst podcast concept I've ever seen - Kevin Pollack is starting a podcast as Christopher Walken and staying in character the whole time.

[badhat]

ooof

[acapelli]

james adomian is probably the best podcast guest right?

listening to him as gary busey right now

[badhat]

my MVP guests (of t0hse ones who are pretty prolific) are adomian, jeselnik, andy daly, PFT, ben schwartz, tom lennon, and jimmy pardo

[badhat]

i love andy richter too but hes not quite as ubiquitous as those dudes

[Kuboaa]

Any courageous souls braved the Diablo Cody ep yet?

I listened to it this morning, it's alright, Marc loves everything she has done and seems to blame all the hate for her because she was a stripper and not how she writes, I think she is more critical of herself than he is during it

[Kuboaa]

my MVP guests (of t0hse ones who are pretty prolific) are adomian, jeselnik, andy daly, PFT, ben schwartz, tom lennon, and jimmy pardo

I'd add Weird Al and Patton Oswalt to this list, if Adam Scott did more podcasts regularly I'd add him too

[badhat]

heey broooooos

[pinkerton]

any combination of harris wittels, seth morris, james adomian, pft, and andy daly on comedy bang bang is ALWAYS gold

[badhat]

we didnt really talk about that CBB ep with Dont Stop or We'll Die, did we?

that shit made doug benson look coherent and sober.

[Kuboaa]

as horrible as Harris Wittels is at characters, I love when he is on CBB, him and Aukerman work really well together

that Don't Stop CBB was alright but definitely felt like a throw away ep while Aukerman was filming the CBB IFC show

[badhat]

yeah for sure it was a throwaway but thats was made it kinda nuts and hilarious.

"you guys just wanna get really really high and fuck off for an hour?"

[nefarious]

how can you not love the wurster calls?

[badhat]

i know i know

when theyre good theyre good

i guess my issue is a lot of times they take a really really long time to set up or find a hook to riff on and just kinda lose patience and would rather be listening to something a little tighter.

i think thats why i love superego so goddamn much.

by all accounts they start off with very long lose CBB style improvs (only situational, rather than games, obv) but then they edit them down from like 10-15 minutes to like 3-5, and that show is just a gatlin gun of awesome.

i get that a big part of scharplings Best Show appeal is the pace, but in the context that i listen to it (bike), i wish it was tighter.

[nefarious]

that call a few weeks ago where the dude's mom kept putting things on top of the fridge had me in tears at work. i had to get up and go outside.

[ssshhhooo]

Fanatical bike evangelist who constantly backs himself into unwinnable arguments would be a pretty great Wurster character actually.

[manierisme]

it's pretty rare, but my absolute favorite thing on the best show is when wurster calls in randomly to fuck w/ calllers

the time when he browbeat a 13-year old kid as jimmy crespo from aerosmith was absolutely priceless

Wow.

Adam Pally has also been great both times he was on CBB (although he sucked on the end of year special). I would pretty much listen to anything Andy Daly did - August Lindt and Hot Dog are probably my favorite CBB-related things. Adomian just consistently annoys the hell out of me - don't like his characters at all.

[zellar]

Maybe the wrong thread for this, but can someone recommend a Dave Attell recording/special to check out? I hear him mentioned pretty frequently on various podcasts, but I've never actually seen his comedy.

Speaking of Tom Sharpling . . .
