The Li'l Gary bit was definitely a low point in the episode (I have not heard an episode with him before, so maybe I'm missing something), but the rest of the episode is so great that it's honestly not worth complaining about.

Li'l Gary is an acquired taste. Once you acquire it, though, he is great.


Also I have a 4-year-old cousin Gary, named after my Uncle Gary. Every time one of my relatives calls him "Little Gary" I have to fight down a smirk.

Honestly it might be the highlight of the episode for me.

Also, am I the only one who likes Lord Dame Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber more than Cake Boss? PFT just seems so natural in the character.

I normally don't like Little Gary but this time it was actually quite enjoyable, I like Tom Lennon's songs.

PFT's ALW is great, but I like his Ice T most :)

I love all of his characters, really, but I was hoping as hard as I could that Ice T would show up in the rap battle. I mean, it went on kinda long, but it was funny through and through, and I would love to hear PFT try to rap about Christmas as Ice T.

And if you guys haven't heard Who Charted's christmas episode, it's totally amazing. It costs $3 but it's some of the best PFT of all time (non-character category)

I enjoyed this, too. It's probably the loosest episode I can think of, but it really sounded like they were having fun, which made it a really good listen.

Between this week's and last week's, CBB has been on a roll. Some really good stuff.

The Li'l Gary song straight through to the end was one insanely hilarious build up. I loved it. Just goofing off, having fun, trying to throw each other off. The Jelloem slayed me.

My favourite part: "I'll miss you the most, Harriiiisss!"

Yeah, I actually miss that spontaneity on the new CBB. Hearing everyone cracking themselves up reminded me of the heyday of CDR. It sounded like they were really having fun. No so-so interview segments or in-studio musical guests (which truthfully doesn't bother me all the time). It sounded like a classic CDR episode. Ridiculous, loose, tons of great improv. I think that it helped that they were also all very "classic" guests and characters.


Edit: And everybody hating Harris might have been the best ongoing joke of the episode. Wittels perfectly plays the sidekick on the show whenever he's there. He really is one of the best guests.

I had heard iBrain in the Best of 2010 episode, and it was pretty amazing. I had honestly forgotten what it was until I went to listen to this episode in full while I went through the mall yesterday. I had to walk out of a couple of stores because I was laughing too hard at this story, and almost had to sit down a few times.

The Li'l Gary bit was pretty funny, I guess it jsut comes down to that, outside of Rap Battle, I don't really like songs by characters. I dunno. The Christian Community whatever guy was alright, I guess, but again, I don't really like songs by characters. Like, I tend to fast forward through the songs they play in the first place, so having a character song in there just doesn't appeal to me.

I can't listen just yet since I'm at work, but can you spoil for me whether Farts and Procreation is in the top five? This is important, and me listening to this episode in a timely manner hinges pretty exclusively on this.

Thanks to this show, I can't hear "Wake Me Up Before you Go-Go" without laughing anymore after "Jitterbuggin'". This really shouldn't be a problem, but it's on the radio station that play at my work, so I ehar it all of the time.

It killed me when they started singing it in the Best Of episode. It was honestly one of my favorite moments of the year.
