uh, ya know these best of's tend to just make me have a burning dislike of all cbb fans for having bad taste, and end up probably hating the show...but I'm really glad they reminded me of Coco Marx...the end

Little Button Puss, Geno, and all the other lesser-known/one-off character episodes are waaaaay funnier than Cake Boss episode #9 and the other canonical episodes IMO. I'm sure I'm in the small minority but it's actually a good opinion time and not a bad one time.

Andy Daly playing ten characters at once = Yngwie Malmsteen, Jon Daly yelling "WHAT WOULD YOU SAY?!?!" a million times until he pisses off Scott and Jenny Slate = B.B. King is basically what I'm trying to say.

Like 10 episodes in the top 15 have PFT or Lauren Lapkus in them and I think they both asked people to vote on Twitter so maybe that's a part of it. They're good episodes but yeah I agree that the Victor + Tiny/Calvin Twins/Little Button Puss eps were way better. The list makes more sense if you reverse it I think

Also it's weird that the Cake Boss episode that made the top 15 was the exorcism thing and not Pie Minister with Tears For Fears

the main draw of the bests of for me is PFT and Scott loving around. then it's just highlights from the past year. I can't even remember nor do I care what order they were in.

This is the best opinion about the Best Of eps so far.

Also remembering what each episode was can be hard when all you're given is the name (which benefits sequel episodes) and who is in it (which benefits regular players like Paulf and Lapkis).

If you wanted to take these biases away they should keep a running tally of votes throughout the year so when episodes come out fresh people can vote them up or down. Or not give a poo poo and listen to eight hours of PFT and Scott shoot the poo poo while introducing mostly episodes of PFT and Scott shooting the poo poo.

I feel like that's more about Matt Gourley's HR Giger than Cake Boss, Giger is hilarious.

Thirded. I don't vote; I don't care what got votes. Scott and Paul egging each other on for a few hours is real Best Of.

To the sun's savage brightness he exposed the dark and secret surface of his retinas, so that by burning the memory of vengeance might be preserved, and never perish.
I also like they went really 'behind the scenes' this year. It was interesting hearing about Daly relistening to all of his previous cbb appearances to prep for the showdown .

You should feel ashamed.
I guess that explains why Nurse Andi Callahan showed up.

Yeah, the voting poll definitely benefits sequel episodes.

The shame of no Gino in the top ten is almost as bad as Filipino Blockbuster not making it last year. I thought that episode was so weird and amazing. It may just be that I really like Eugene Cordero. Both of whom were amazing on the most recent Improv4Humans, as they always are.

Voting for things on the internet is still largely dominated by nerds, and nerds love anything complicated and "canonical" with a "universe" that has lot of characters and references they can nerd out over. loving nerds.

I remembered being kinda disappointed by this year's Time Bobby, but goddamn the ZIIIIP part was fantastic.

Them talking about Andy Daly's ability to juggle those characters gave me a new appreciation for him too.

Agreed that Gino should have been in there somewhere. EDIT: and no Russ?!

Vague rant enjoys things, but only for the first time. It's weird, but since he's been posting here I'm sure the amount of repetition humour in CBB has gone WAY up.
e: like, it feels that within a fortnight of him discovering the show, they sang the same song 10 times.
Nah, I'd been listening for longer, but when I started complaining is when they kicked it up a notch...so... :smith:

Seriously, Hey Really Giger absolutely made that episode, and The Reverend Parsimony was a great new character. It absolutely deserved to be in the countdown, if not necessarily as high as it was.

My daughter loves Tiny & Victor, but she'd never heard the original appearance. I forgot how much the phrase "farting fuckfaces" was used in that episode, not that she didn't find that absolutely delightful.

“In just a few hours I learned, in a reply to one of my Web queries, that this bird is an extremely rare bilateral gynandromorph cardinal,” Ammann said.
“Quite a mouthful to say, but this means a genetic mistake occurred during the first cell division of the fertilized ovum, causing one of the cells produced by this division to be male and the other to be female. As this egg developed, the entire right side remained female and the left side remained male,” Ammann continued.
