Man I'd call Gervais an annoying douchebag and someone I don't find funny but I wouldn't call him a hack.

Merchant is really funny. Gervais is awful though. His stand up is terrible. And his laugh, my god his laugh...indigi posted:Oh, you don't know what it means! Why didn't you just say so? I totally get if it's not your cup of tea, though. Oh have you not seen his stand up? Cause he's awful. And I wish he did steal jokes so I could laugh somewhat. I tried to get into Chelsea Peretti's podcast but the callers are terrible and walk all over her. Yeah, the best podcast is a call-in show but Tom's been doing it since the Clinton administration. He's knows how to deal with callers. It might get better with time but I'm bailing. COUNTIN THE BILLIES fucked around with this message at 02:18 on Nov 15, 2012 |

It's easy to call Gervais a hack. His stand-up career is exclusively based on having a successful tv show and the lack of experience shows. Did anyone see him on Talking Funny?

Was that the one where he collected Louis CK, Jerry Seinfeld and Chris Rock together in the hope that legitimacy worked by osmosis?

Since you've never clarified what you consider the correct definition, I'll assume you mean 'joke thief', and point out that it also applies to comics who take their setups to only the most obvious/unsurprising places, and that that's a slightly more subjective metric.

Thanks to today's surprise mid-month Pod. F. Tompkast, I've learned that every mortal man who has attempted to master the pan flute has been driven insane, and no woman has ever tried.

It's a great sappy song, even though Wet Hot American Summer has kinda ruined it for me  Today's live You Made It Weird was loving amazing, also. Every guest was on fire and a beautiful detail about Pete's past was revealed that almost acts like a punchline to his entire 'former life'.

Good lord Chelsea Peretti is awful. I've been catching up on a few back eps of Doug loves Movies and She was being out-comedied by a 9 year old girl.

Worse thing about that episode was the 10 minutes talking about the reaction to the podcast's various hiatuses. Surely at this point, people know to ignore most people on the internet.

Hari Kondabalu backs me up on my "Chelsea Peretti is awkward around people" stance in the latest YMIW. Kurt Metzger is a brilliant genius. The 2 minute story of Pete meeting his good ex-wife alone is worth listening to the episode for.

I didn't think it was possible to notice someone cringing on a podcast, but that segment proved me wrong. "Is this good or bad, because I have never seen the mic so far away from your face before"

I didn't *get* The Champs for a long time (I let myself be put off by the drops), but with the exception of the Riff Raff episode (I still don't understand who he is) this has probably become one of my top podcasts.

I thought she played her part in Louie perfectly, but other than that I don't know that I've seen her in a TV show. Maybe a walk-on part in Parks?

Her on YMIW, The Todd Glass Show, and CBB of course - all amazing. She's a little befuddled anytime she's on DLM but I can give her a pass. What I'm sayin is gently caress the haters Chaz is on my top 5 list of podcast guests. If I had shades and a motorcycle I'd put them on and ride away on it respectively.

Chelz is hilarious, but IMHO it's very easy to see why some people don't like her. You either hate her or love her. She's abrasive and an rear end in a top hat and whiny but unless you listen to her long enough and realize these are just a few of her many defense mechanisms against most social interactions, then you're just gonna think she's abrasive and whiny and an rear end in a top hat. On a related note, I got free Laugh Factory tickets this Wednesday and she's on the bill

Brian Posehn finally released his podcast Nerd Poker. Him and some other comedians playing D&D. If Harmontown has taught us anything there is defiantly potential for comedy there.

Harmontown has a great DM but man the D&D stuff drags without stunt casting. Speaking of Harmontown... is it just me or are their stutters getting longer with each podcast?
