Mogambo posted:Sometimes I jealous whenever I listen to a live comedy podcast that I live in the midwest (Iowa, yay) where nobody ever ever goes. The Proopcast has been one of my favorites (especially now that it comes out more than once every month) and I really wish I could see him live simply b/c of the great energy he seems to have with the audience. Also Raspberries. "I am heterosexual but I make no case for it".

Civil posted:I think part of Scott's shtick is liking unpopular unfunny things - plane breaks, banal catchphrase discussion, super long intro themes, plugs, Tig Notaro, etc. Odd how these things he despises wind up on the show he hosts. It's almost as if someone here is missing the point. (Imagine that -- someone who dislikes Tig demonstrating that they have a poor grasp of complex, character-based comedy. Wouldn't that be something?)

I used to think he was joking but after listening to Who Charted I'm not so sure.

Strange Matter posted:Jack the Lumberyard Owner is, I think, the third funniest thing CDR/CBB has ever done. I would swap one and two and replace three with Cakeboss. Specifically the thing that other posters have commented on about when someone says he was bitten by a radioactive cake-bug he always corrects them to "No, just a regular cake-bug."

There was also the unfortunate time he baked an R2D2 cake and it became sentient...too much cinnamon. Sadly he had to destroy it by eating it to death.

Listened to the first episode of Girl On Guy because I do love a good diarrhea story, but Aisha Taylor is just the worst. Cannot stop talking over, around, and through. Unbearable! Maybe she'll become a better host in a few months and because I loved her on Talk Soup I'll give it a chance then. But seriously, lady, if H. Jon Benjamin is telling an epic poo poo-your-pants story, you shut the gently caress up and let him tell it.

Guys, if there's any reason to hate Tig Notaro, it's because she unjustly caused another female comic thousands of dollars in court fees, jail time, and attempted to shut down her comedy career (the Tig Notaro travesty).

According to the AV Club's review of the record, "I just threw up in my mouth a little" is a repeated punchline, so Notaro is basically a 2005-era GBS poster.

Prince made a 7 minute music video where he appears as a character he calls The Gemini, half Batman/half Joker.

I'm finding everything about this very suspect, especially because it's written terribly. Also pretty much every other sentence is "they're lying" but then she doesn't say what they were lying about. She also compares her and her sister to wikileaks. quote:To be continued: The story is 48 pages long and will be posted in installments. It will begin on April 7th 2008, and stop in the present. wow

I think you've stumbled upon Tig's stalker. If you look at clips of Tig on youtube, this crazy person will usually be in the comments section calling Tig a creepy weirdo. How do you deal with people like this? Poor Tig.  The "no moleste" sign on her door isn't enough. Dustin1986 fucked around with this message at 06:31 on Aug 5, 2011 |

I read that whole thing, and it is one of the crazier things I've read. (In that it's written by a crazy person.)

bango skank posted:Well according to him during an appearance on the Joe Rogan podcast, he doesn't see himself as the 'pot comic'. No, he's just a regular comic who just happens to be stoned 24/7, makes documentaries about pot, and has large chunks of his material dedicated to the subject. I still like him and all, but my opinion of him did dip a bit after seeing that show. I like Doug and think the best bits he has are non pot-related. For me it kind of sucks that he's known as a "pot comic", but he's done it to himself so it can't be helped. I'd like to know the whole story about him and his mom, his taking care of her. It gets alluded to a lot. but he shies away from discussing it.

"Teepkick Shakur" RE: Greg Proops posted:"I am heterosexual but I make no case for it". Also "I know what the gently caress I sound like, OKAY?" I loving LOVE Greg, and I get where people are coming from when they say he sounds gay, but I think he just has a weird Valley Accent (which was personified by girls in the eighties), mixed with the fact that he's kind of old, mixed with the fact that he speaks in really flowery elocution. I could listen to that guy ramble on for hours. I get bummed out when they get to "question time" because I know the show's over soon.

When he was reading from Wikipedia or whatever and kept saying "casualty" instead of obviously "causality" I was really embarrassed for him. More and more I think Seth just sits there and lets Jonathan dig himself into a hole when he starts talking about something as if he's an authority on the topic that he doesn't know anything about.

I used to love listening to Greg Proops. Then I had a friend who started to talk like that all the time, combined with some hipster BS, and now whenever I hear Proops I just get annoyed. I can take him in short doses, but not for a full podcast. Side note: I'm currently catching up on the Green Room with Paul Provenza show on Showtime. It's a half hour TV show that features four or five comedians chatting with Provenza with a small audience. Just saw the one with Proops, Kathy Griffith, Dana Gould, and an old clarinet player whose name I didn't catch. Hilarious, and I just wish it were a full hour.

He was the friend of the family General on Deadwood. I never realized he was a comedian until watching that episode. The Green Room is a pretty great show, some really great/funny guests. I also just wish it was an hour rather than a half hour. Seems to end right when things really pick up, and you can tell by the way they start out they have probably been sitting there drinking for a while already.

If anyone lives in Greenpoint, NY I am doing a mini-Lou Reads segment @ Red Star in the midst of a pretty good stand up line-up. Also showing a video clip I am finishing up, too. I'm just getting a feel for reading in front of people. If it was improv I'd be fine but I haven't really sat down and read stuff in front of people before so we'll see! EDIT: If you show up before 9pm you get ONE FREE BEER! Just sayin'...

So Moshe Kasher, a pretty funny UCBLA comedian and podcast guest started his own podcast with Neal Brennan and Tim and Eric's DJ called The Champs. I'm over two-thirds through the first episode and so far it's pretty so-so, but I think it might be worth watching or checking out down the road.
