Yea, too many of the songs they play on purpose are marginally better then Jukebox Jury songs, and those are pretty consistently awful.

piratepilates posted:The wikipedia page for CBB actually has the songs featured in each episode for at least most of the episodes and starting with episode 52 there doesn't seem to be any more songs in the show, which might run hand in hand with it no longer being on radio at that point so licensed music would be a different thing to account for. I'm sure it went farther than that, the last episode I remember having comedy songs was the one with Margaret Cho from a couple years back. When was the last time they had a musical guest? Seems like it's been forever.

I'd say the last episode with musical performances is probably the last Don't Stop Or We'll Die episode a few months back.

Don't Stop or We'll Die can be musical guests as many times as they want, they're always entertaining. I just gave the entire Bisco Boys episode another listen a week or two ago just to hear the Sunrise/Little Boys suite.

They aren't the best band, but they do pretty well for a group of guys that met under a bridge.

I can't really remember any in recent ememory (within the last year or two) that were actually impressions and not just a loose impression leading to a completely bizarre "yes and" game, like all of PFT's impressions.

I'm watching some 2009/2010 episodes and they have stuff like someone doing cake boss, an italian pizza chef, ice tea, and some character named cyberthug. They are awful and grating and supposed to be anti comedy but the gag goes on way too long.

Ok fair enough, but to be honest you're going to like the show less and less the further you get into it. There has rarely been a full 'chatting with a comedian' episode for the last couple of years. There is almost always at least one character that shows up ~20mins into the show.

Actually I really like cbb, i loved mr show and I like paul f tompkins podcast and stand up career, but I dont understand why fans of this podcast get so into the Cake boss character. I think its one of the least funny things on the entire show especially out of the recurring characters. Its trying too hard with the lisp and all the wacky conceits about cake lore, it just reminds me too much of every goofy bad improv troupe where they are just "yes, and"-ing each other into some impossibly convoluted "random" scenario while they look at each other and try not to crack up over how silly theyre being. It just seems so low effort for PFT when he can be way funnier (i thought the harrow Murderer Heaven character from the recent episode was way funnier than any cake boss thing) and when the other recurring guests like Adomian and andy daly come up with character ideas that are really funny out of the gate without needing 100 episodes of background story before it builds to something funny tldr its possible to like CBB and not like cake boss. maybe

I agree that some of the characters' lore are getting long in the tooth. Cake Boss' especially. I kinda zone out when they start talking about like the Cake Council on the dark side of the moon and stuff. I still think Cake Boss is funny though. I don't know what kind of humorless monster wouldn't find funny the "erotic cake" bit from the ep with Doug Benson and Steve Yeun.

The best part of Cake Boss is that they Yes And-ed him to him becoming God, then basically retired the character for almost a year so they could just take it back some.

I love the podcast, but yeah, they sometimes tend to run characters into the ground. I think what soiled cake boss for me was him speaking to dead cakes like A Christmas Carol. That being said, to this day in conversation with fans I always drop in an "IT'S BEEN" or from his Garry "Ponyboy" Marshall riddle "Eeeehhhhhhhhhhhhhhh who'stosay"

I mean if you don't like Cake Boss, Ice T, or Cyber Thug you're in for a world of pain. Characters and impressions are just about the entire point of the show. Sure there's a little conversation at the start, but the rest of the show is usually just a long improv bit that incorporates those things. If you want a comedian chat show then CBB probably isn't what you want.

I always thought the best parts of the podcast are when the person is pushed to have to come up with something weird, like cake boss gradually getting more and more crazy until eh has magical powers and such. I mean hell Andy Daly is the best guest on the show and that's because he's always pushed to weird things with his characters and manages to roll with them.

Wasn't that like his first bit? Where he talked to the actor from the movie MASH and Chewbacca? That was gold--although I agree that Scott has been a little staid in his show format and guest bookings lately. Though it's probably reasonable for him to want to settle on a routine of one character guest and one normal guest since he has the Earwolf business and the CBB TV show taking up his time.

Like from the very beginning. Sure they might break away from that sometime, but like 98 percent of the show is comedians improving with each other.

David Higgins in episode 56. Dave Foley was supposed to be there but he never showed up. Scott prefers pies to cakes and it'll eventually be his downfall.

I do think the character has started to get a little unwieldy and should probably be retired at this point, however. The Fourvel/Webber thing is approaching that point as well. I want at least one more episode, but they got a little too exuberant in the last episode and now the stabby little street urchin with a filthy mouth and love of musicals has become part an group of alternate reality disgruntled Scott Auckermans. I sort of hope they redact that whole plot with a later appearance, because I have no idea where they're gonna go with that.

Cake boss is by far my least favorite character PFT does. I don't find it intolerable by any means. I generally enjoy the episodes, but its just the least interesting to me. I really like Werner Herzog though really its nearly as rote. Just different strokes.
