That would actually be a lot more impressive than being an improv virtuoso.

Another Person posted:Outside of getting good stories, which on the internet doesn't mean much, I don't feel like Seth really does put crazy hours into pre-pro. I feel like the guy is just reeealllly good at improv comedy. At the very least he watches a poo poo load of television and has a superhuman tolerance to "reality" programming

You can tell Seth must read an absolute shitload of stuff (including abstracts from medical journals) every single week to find the interesting stuff though that absolutely nobody else is talking about though. I mean, think about how many goddamn websites there are on the internet who put up dozens of things every day and how little overlap they have with your average UYD episode.

Anyone have a clue how the three back-to-back live shows are gonna work? Same material at each one, or three whole episodes worth of stuff? I don't know whether there's a precedent or not

What is more likely is that he does dick all now except watch tv and listen to a quarter of his voice mail messages for story ideas

I've wanted a UYD shirt since I first really got into the show but I've been waiting for hard proof that someone ordered and actually received one before I put the money down on one. As soon as I see that I'm ordering one immediately and wearing it as often as is reasonable.

It's not a t-shirt, but I ordered one of the 2011 Largo show posters and it arrived within the same year. And Seth signed it with his name, d.o.b., birthplace and weight: 'a lady never tells'.

Was he also trying to imply that teams from states with easier access to weed are going to play better because they can self-medicate with weed for pain more easily? I remember hearing that sentiment somewhere, might not have been UYD though.

He was saying that everybody cracking jokes like:BIG CITY LAWYER posted:Super BOWL bowl of WEED. Smoking a super bowlllllll. I saw a lot of memes like that on FB over that last month. was probably going to help the national legalization movement, because it was moving the conversation away from "WEED KILLS KIDS" to "Huh, it's cool for some people to smoke weed now" Made more sense to me than "rapid fire taser rifle"

So i ran out of UYD eps on my phone and i'm bumping up against my data cap, so I decided to go over to weck's wiki and read some episode summaries. Jesus christ, maybe it's because I've been awake for 26 hours, but the straightforward deadpan style of the segment summaries are loving hysterical.quote:19:26 – Seth had to go to Time Warner because his modem crapped out on him. He thought about going in notebook style and just writing down what he needs (Episode 113, 11:24 and Episode 015, 21:26), but he’s already been an rear end in a top hat in this place before, so he mixes it up. On the fly he pulls this out: “Listen, I’m Christian…” and goes with it, and gives a lot of “Bless You”s and Drew Barrymore faux-Dali Lama bowing, and before he knows it, he has a new modem, new cord, new power strip, a special card for the guy who’s coming the next morning from 9-12 and makes the woman tear up. Originally he wanted to firebomb the place because he’s been dealing with incessant internet issues. He thinks he might go with this ploy again, and Jah wonders what Seth’s mom will think about it.

I hope they continue doing the episode summaries at some point. They stopped a few months ago.

Oh god, and the 8-year old girl's drawing of Robin Thicke. Uhhhh... SIMON LE BON. Simon Le Bon??! Dude, I'm like the youngest person on the planet who listens to Duran Duran, and I'm loving 30  I'd never heard of the show before, but I think I might check out an ep just to see what it feels like to get worked up to Seth levels.
