I'm literally in tears listening to 120 - Harris Wittels, Adam Scott, and Chelsea Peretti.

Specifically Adam and Harris improving as lumber yard workers where they are married to each others sisters except they forgot that and it turns out that they were fighting because they hosed each others wives.

Welcome to the best Comedy Bang Bang has to offer. Seriously, that episode is amazing.

If you're interested in more Harris: Episode 89 with him and Nick Kroll

More Adam: Episode 80 with him, Ice T and Jessie the Mind/Body/Heart/Bill Ventura

Both personal favorites. Wasn't there going to be a Peretti-Scott-Wittles reunion on CBB at some point? Please tell me that's still happening.

Yeah I've listened to almost everything up to a certain point and everything recent I'm just catching up to the in between. I'm not sure if I have heard 89 yet. I went back to 100 and I'm counting up to like 150 now.

You should write a message to them and tell them people outside the US want to watch it and are unable to to get it.

Maybe they could get IFC to sell it to BBC America, or whatever they call BBC America over there.

I loved this week's episode. Deanna Russo/Tamara G's answer "neither" was so loving brilliant for practically any WYR while remaining in character that I almost exploded. Janet Varney/Carly had a grip of lines that absolutely destroyed me, she was the MVP imo. If yall ain't watch Burning Love yet, give it a try. Ken Marino is too loving handsome.

Oh, I assumed it was a real reality show that they were parodying. But it's a real show that parodies reality shows? Awesome. Sign me up, especially if it's got Ken Marino. I've been wondering why I haven't seen him in more stuff lately.

edit: lame, Yahoo TV? I wish these guys could get their shows on TV channels that I could watch on my TV.

edit2: seriously, Yahoo could pay a Roku dev for one or two days work to get their poo poo up on Roku. I've messed with their scripting language and it's quite easy. But they put all this money into Yahoo!Screen and don't even bother putting a little effort into distributing it to popular video platforms? Why? (Same goes for IFC too)

This episode was great. Best WYR game so far in my opinion. Ken Marino's questions were amazing. "What are the names of the women I rescue?".

And of course the brilliant "get that horse away from me" line.

I didn't get to finish this week's episode yet (the file somehow got corrupted mid-playback), so I'm sorry if this was answered in Plugs, but are there going to be any other guests besides Tim Heidecker and James Adomian?

Am I alone in not loving Nick Kroll? I love him on the league and I like him not in a character, and I even like Bobby B and Fabrice to an extent. Unfortunately I found his special on Netflix nearly unwatchable, and I tune out every time he does Chupacabra and subcharacters.

I also think he isn't flexible enough when he is in character - he seems to be less improving the character than he is acting as a predefined character.

Hah good point. It's more that I see the wholesale love expressed in this thread and I just don't see it. I don't think his characters are really about his improv talent as they are about playing a character who is already defined in his mind.

Plus Chupa just annoys me.

I love Kroll on CBB but I'd be lying if I said his stand up on Saturday wasn't a minor disappointment. I actually really like his taped special but this was a little too loose and had a little too much space between high points. It's odd because I wasn't expecting much of Adomian's stand up and he was amazing. Nick Kroll was merely B+.

Hands raw with high fives.
Chupacabra owns and I am sad every time he ends up doing something else on CBB.
I didn't really like his special on Netflix all that much though.

I like that when Chupacabra shows up he mocks Scott for not being on proper radio. I wish I could remember specifics now, but it always makes me howl.

It's funny...

You were so scary at night.
Chupacabra's best side-character is the firefighter who called up and talked about signing up to get some of that "9/11 runoff pussy".

I like Kroll. He's really good on The League.

I loved Chupacabra, but he's got a lot of Chupacabra bits that he seems to repeat over and over rather than doing improv.

I never really liked the Bobby B. and Fabrice characters. I agree that his stand-up special on Netflix was really bad.

Kroll is great when he's being very disordered, bringing in and dropping characters when he feels like it, for example the episode with Paul Scheer and the one with John Mulaney. At the end there ten characters in the room and Scott is trying to get them talking over each other.

The characters aren't really that dynamic, but he improvs really really well with them. The spoken word Fabrice Fabrice poem and bringing his baby phone callback in for a Would You Rather as Chupacabra immediately come to mind.

E: I will say I couldn't watch very much of his netflix special.

Does anyone do a flamboyantly gay character that is actually funny?

I guess it's a sign of the somewhat more enlightened times we live in, but exaggerated gay characters now feel as awkward as a 1970s black guy imitation.

The 2010 Halloween episode is my all time favorite CBB. Everything Jon Daly says in it pretty much drives me loving wild.

Sometimes I get depressed about ephemeral entertainment I've missed and the Comedy Dead Ray special that Mortimer and Buford LeBaron hosted will forever be something I regret missing.

The 2011 one is not nearly as good but I remember it being a solid episode.

EDIT: Seriously, just listen to the 2nd clip on here. Every single time Jon Daly says "Yehth"...

Does Fabrice ever even say he's gay? Either way, his sexuality isn't really part of his character, unless talking and acting like he does automatically means "gay".
