The comedy songs will never end. And that's kind of my gripe with the earwolf poo poo, all their podcasts are too structured. I don't even like CDR that much but I've been listening to How Did This Get Made and they have these ridiculous little soundbites that are almost embarrassing to listen to every time they change the subject. Like, come on, you can't have a 30-40 minute program every two weeks where things just sort of gel and you guys move smoothly from bit to bit. ? I think UYD has biased me. gently caress, now i'm a podcast connoisseur Fayez Butts fucked around with this message at 16:59 on Mar 6, 2011 |

No, they kind of always do it, but I feel like they now play them to a lesser degree than they used to. I hear what you're saying, and I'm not a fan of it myself, but it's a trivial annoyance for a good show. Sometimes the songs are actually funny (if it's not Dr. Demento style corniness). e:f;b

Most of the songs seem a lot shorter now than some they used to play, and there do seem to be less of them. As far as the structure, I like seeing some production value, it helps set it aside from a lot of the shows that are basically two hipsters and a USB mic. Like Uhhhhhh yeah dude, that show is awful.

From a few pages back -A PRIZED MULE! posted:Lately I'm loving TOFOP, and by extension Walking the Room. Even though Walking the Room introduced me to TOFOP. The ongoing saga of the "Hobo-tangs" (trashy-rear end people that wander into other people's yards to steal from their orange trees) is hilarious. Video of the hobo-tang was posted on the WTR Facebook page last week. I'm loving the Walking the Room and TOFOP crossovers. Wil Anderson is moderately famous - he's done TV, used to host a breakfast radio show on the nationally broadcast station JJJ and has toured pretty heavily around Aus. Charlie has only really done a few TV shows, probably better known for being on McLeod's Daughters, some drama about a farm and some daughters or something.

I wish there were *more* parody songs on CDRR. Specifically, it's been a long time since the last Weirder Scott (and Weirdest Kulap) release and I'd love another one. Tangelo is still my favorite and he only played it once on Episode 20 (at ~minute 35) and I don't think anyone bothered reposting it anywhere.

What a bummer. I saw him live and he was pretty great. I really loved his WTF with Maron. I had no idea he had HIV until then. drat!

I thought it sucked at first, but somehow it ended up dragging itself out so long it turned into something hysterical. Also, the Dino WTF was unexpectedly skeezy. Yeesh. Speaking of WTF, I wasn't really familiar with Mike Destafano, but I listened to the WTF when I heard he died. Wish I had gotten into his stuff sooner, it sounds like he was pretty awesome. EDIT: Upon finishing it, that was probably the saddest thing I've heard in a long time. Holy poo poo. Ugly In The Morning fucked around with this message at 03:47 on Mar 8, 2011 |

It's such a good show, but there's the odd one that is so weird and offputting that it's going to be someone's first exposure to the show, and they'll think all of them are like that. It's going to be weird seeing Dino on Community from now on. Ugh.

You know, I don't think I fully, truly appreciated Comedy Death Ray until today. I'm listening to Jack from the Lumber Yard and getting destroyed by laughter at non-jokes. The staggering gall and performance of it is enough to send me into fits. I get the feeling that it's the future of comedy.

I'll add another recommendation for Walking the Room & TOFOP. Source of such gems as: clown from the neck down, podcuddle, can o cunts, beforementioned hobotangs, and of course glitter done. No stupid interviews or gay guests, just pure form comedy/bullshit about nothing. WTR has had one guest so far, one of the guys from TOFOP, and they talked over him and ranted about stupid poo poo the entire time. It was lovely. Edit: I can't believe I haven't seen John Hodgman's podcast mentioned (at least not in the last 5 pages) so I'll tell you it's hilarious: Judge John Hodgman He adjudicates arguments between people about such topics as: * whether a certain room can be called a den * if breaking the 4th wall ruins a movie * whether it's ok to take random chinese food home & eat it It's pretty funny, and Hodgeman is always 100% correct. snag fucked around with this message at 00:24 on Mar 9, 2011 |

Yeah, I remember when he was a guest on TSOYA or JJGo and did that a few times and it was always funny. I just started listening to Judge John Hodgman a little while ago and I've enjoyed them all so far. I really enjoyed the Tahitian Take-Out one. Super funny.
