Some can be sort of boring if you're not used to the show, though. Spaghettageddon is funny from beginning to end, and gives you a good idea of the McElroys' sense of humor.

Yea, Spaghettageddon is the episode that's like 'ok if you don't like THIS one there's no way you're going to like any other ones'.

Haha are you STILL going on about this? You bitched about something that wasn't true and no one had any idea what you were talking about, then got really defensive when that was pointed out.

What I've learned from this thread is goons are still never satisfied with anything and will poo poo up a thread with bitching about shows that they don't necessarily even listen to.

This is what a goon looks like when he's spazzing.

This one needs more love. I started listening to it based on this thread, and it's great. They've been really good lately with the insane Tom Bergeron/Zooey Deschanel chat.

I just listened to the latest JJGo, and the game with Greg Behrendt and Josie Long was fantastic. They really need to do whole the "three real things with silly names and one we made up" bit more often.

Yeah, I've listened to plenty of podcasts that fit the format of "two guys just talking about whatever" and TCGTE is the only one I still listen to. It's not even that it's constantly hilarious, although it certainly has its moments; their chemistry is just more pleasant to listen to. Very friendly.

Like Penis envy, I'm hoping this is the case - from what I've heard of WTF Maron could so easily be the type to make this sort of call and I know he's mentioned before (on, I think, the Phil Rosenthal one) that he knew Ray already, so he might honestly think calling him like this is perfectly reasonable.

Oh god, now I've reminded myself of Scott Auckerman's impression of Ray Romano.

Yeah Ray Romano definitely sounded like he knew what was going on. Marc also did this with Adam Carolla not long ago, and Carolla right away sounded like he knew he was on and it was part of a bit, he plugged his show and started launching right into one of his complaints. Marc had to have set that one up ahead of time, especially since in all the time I've been listening to Carolla, he's said he basically never answers his phone.

More and more comedians are realizing it is a perfect platform for them to explore their talent as well as selling more merch and shows.

Chris Hardwick mentioned that since he started doing the Podcast he's had more ticket sales over all at his standup gigs than he ever did going on radio or other shows to plug his stuff.

Yeah, pretty sure all Rogan does now is mention where he's going to be on his podcast and post on twitter, I don't think he does much morning radio to get the word out or anything like that anymore.

The Onion AV Club does a wrapup once a week called Podmass. They do brief summaries of the best podcasts of the week and will also point out ones that are skippable if you're overwhelmed.

Splitsider also does This Week in Comedy Podcasts which covers some of the same ground.

They don't really have numerical ratings, but in both cases there are user comments for the whole list.

Chris Hardwick is kind of a douchebag. I suppose it's all to do with his "Nerdist" personality, but all he does is walk all over everybody to announce who he knows/has talked to/met name dropping. He's also of the mind that he's way funnier than he actually is. I've listened for a long time, but at this point all I can think is "Welp, here goes this nerd luxuriating in how cool he is." He literally won't shut up or let anyone talk until he can reveal how he knows whatever comic artist, actor, whatever to the point that he sounds like a 10 year old kid. I'm on the brink of deleting it.

I really like when they get on a good guest that I like, but other than that I have a hard time convincing myself to listen to it primarily for all the reasons you mentioned. The nerd culture that they revel in -- the Dr. Who/Joss Whedon etc stuff or whatever--it's not something I can identify with, and yeah, they're often just not funny.
One of the podcasts had standup from both Hardwick and Jonah, and they were the two worst sets by far.
I feel like I should clarify that they do not offend me in any way; I don't think they are offensive, just really, really annoying. AV Club's bit in their podcast breakdown about their Zooey Deschanel podcast succinctly sums up my issues with the Nerdist.

Marc Maron, for all his neuroses that can get a bit grating, is still to me a great interviewer and is very good about getting interesting conversation out of his subjects. (These are the only two comedy podcasts I have been checking out, so they're my only standard)

In Judge John Hodgman, it seems like Jesse has been interrupting more and more as it's gone on. It gets pretty infuriating at times, and I honestly can't tell if John minds it or not. He sounded a bit peeved in this week's, but I could've jsut been hearing things.

Regardless, Jesse needs to shut up until he's asked something, or is in chambers with John.

I just listened to the one about Den vs. Office and couldn't believe it when he made some callback to his own podcast and started talking about how the callers had agreed to do some dumb poo poo like pick "Rockit" for their last name.

It was about a trial for a woman who killed her baby, and the name was that of the baby. Doug didn't recognize it until seeing the news a few days later, and felt it was inappropriate. Or that if he was going to tell such a dark joke, he'd have to frame it properly.

The latest episode in which he explains this is pretty good, but the Leonard Maltin game is really short. Adam Scott and Jon Hamm were awesome. Bill Simmons, somewhat less so.

He can be funny, or make humorous observations, but every time he tries to interject himself in the "case", he just breaks up the flow of the podcast, and brings things to a grinding halt. I honestly don't mind him when they're clearing the docket or whatever, but during the cases, his attempts at spontaneous humor are just bsd.
