Quote from the CBB season 2 show thread.

I already mistook a Birthday Boy for a theatre employee! False alarm.

Edit: Just got back a few minutes ago. There were basically three parts to the show: the Birthday Boys opener; Hot Saucerman working the crowd; and then the live podcast.

Birthday Boys: Meh. The opening pre-filmed Odenkirk bit was funny, but the sketches were so-so. Ducky Powell might have been a bit funnier if I hadn't already seen the character on a CBB podcast singing the same song, I guess. Anyway, they weren't horrible, but they didn't really do much for me. Their taped bits were better, though. Less nudity, too (less being a good thing here).

The Choctaw: Really good. Aukerman played with the conceit that we were a rehearsal performance for the *real* big performance up in Portland. He had several other bits, including a happy birthday musical number and tricking someone onstage to act out a heckling script, all fun.

Live podcast: Loved it! His guests were Doug Benson and Paul F. Tompkins Werner Herzog. Coincidentally, my wife had mentioned on the drive to the show that Herzog is her least favorite character, but she was laughing at least as hard as I was most of the way through. Great Would You Rather? (they sat perfectly still through the entire musical intro and outro!), Aukerman made PFT collapse into laughter and almost break character during a discussion of the Medea movies, and just a lot of fun to watch overall. Oh, and they alluded to an incident in the previous show: a family brought kids to the show... on a night when Andy Daly was doing his Don Dimello character. The family apparently made a hasty exit shortly after he came out.

So there's a very brief review. Absolutely worth the price of admission.

I'm excited.

I've really liked all four live episodes (tig episode was good, Todd glass and Andy kinder was great, Andy Daly and pft was great, and Benson and pft was good) and I'm going to the Boston show so I'm hoping the steak continues. I hope we get a great guest to work with pft in Boston (Mantzoukas, Moynihan, or Schwartz are my dream guests). I definitely think it's worth the twenty five bucks but I'm a die hard fan and like pretty much every episode.

Sounds great! I really liked the previous tour where they had some pretty fun new characters (Sheriff of Nottingham and the Curiosity Rover should come back) we've never seen before and it really felt like a different 'type' of CBB. Glad it seems to keep going, I'll try and pony up some cash for it soon..

I can't imagine Don Dimello infront of a family with kids though loving laffo

Hold that pose.
I've gotta get something.
Am I remembering wrong, or did Scott say something about getting download codes for the live episodes if you got tickets to one of the shows? I feel like that's a crazy thing for them to do, but I seem to remember him saying something of the sort.

e: Now that I look at the store page, looks like I'm mis-remembering. It was "get two Montréal episodes immediately upon buying the full tour download packages". Oops.

I love Horatio Sanz. He's bad at improv in the best way possible, and Scott always has fun trying to trip him up with the inconsistencies in his stories.

Horatio Sanz casually tossing out 'and..he goes to town on my skull' may be the most hilariously vulgar way to describe blowing a dude I've ever heard.

I just got back from the Milwaukee show and it was fantastic. The Birthday Boys did a decent job and were enjoyable, but god drat did Mr. Saucerman just own that stage when he got up there. His original version of the birthday song was a thing of beauty and I hope it will be included on the downloadable episode. PFT and Horatio were really on their game tonight as well and all together it was just a fantastic CBB show. If anyone is one the fence about going, just go. If you enjoy CBB at all it's such a great experience seeing it live with a shitload of other fans.

Yeah that episode was an instant classic.

When they started talking about OJ Simpson... I don't remember what was said, but I was laughing a lot.

That entire segment had me in hysterics. Horatio really is the best bad improv guy.

Can't believe Scott forgot that Charles Barkley hosted SNL when Nirvana played it, after his dead grandmother found it so important that he remember that episode.

Strongly agree that Chico was very Wurstery in the best way possible.

I'll put it in spoiler tags since I was at the show last night, so I dunno if anyone else has listened to the episode yet. It'll be interesting to hear how the show sounds since there was a lot of visual humor towards the end.

PFT was John C Reilly and it was magical.

My favourite thing about the live shows is how aware the audience members are of the rules of Would You Rather and their reaction when somebody makes a Classic Would You Rather Blunder.

Maybe I'm just biased since I was there but everybody should buy the Detroit show when it comes up. It was at the Royal Oak Music Theater so you know Lord ALW had to show up and surprise guest Kurt Braunholer along with Horartio Sanz! I wish that they did these as video podcasts instead though. So much amazing poo poo you miss out on without it.

I was there too and it was pretty awesome. Even being directly in front of the mandatory "guy who laughs way too forcefully and obnoxiously at everything even slightly funny" didn't keep me from loving the whole show. PFT's face when he desperately tries to compose himself after Scott says something horrible makes me wish everything was on video.
