Went to the Archer cast taping episode. Man allmighty, there's two runs of jokes that I really hope make it to broadcast. I'll spoilertag 'em, just in case.

One is a riff on "The red tree squirrel" and other involved "Pussy Butter." Both will probably be cut, but maybe they'll do an uncut take online

Since it will be the Thursday show, yes it will be an uncut version.

Honestly, who were the fuckwits that he mentioned on Tuesday who complained about him singing? I know some folks think he sings too much, but gently caress it, he's got a good voice and it's usually funny enough to justify it.

I did not care for it, I thought it went way too long. If it was like half the time I would have no problem with it.

He's had a string of "this is going on far longer than it needs to" moments in recent weeks. That long angry free-the-nipple rant (which he was right about, but it took forever and seemed like a moment meant to go viral but it never did), his mom doing the sports recap, and now the singing. None of these things were bad or unfunny on their own, but when you're already having to edit down a lot of responses from some really funny people, it becomes a bit more obnoxious and comes off as a bit egocentric.

I can see when you are lying.

He's also trying to sell tickets to his standup events and other things, so it benefits him to show that he's not just a limpdick host who relies on other people to be funny.

I mean, whether you find him funny or not is besides the point - some people do. And there's nothing at stake, this isn't a real gameshow. Of course he wants to perform.

Oh, ye of little faith.
It seems like since the show got retitled "@Midnight with Chris Hardwick" (according to my DVR & the credits) at the start of the year, his top of the show monologue/whatever has gotten significantly longer on most nights.

I don't necessarily mind it, but ultimately he's taking from the contestants, & they're who I watch the show for.

This is how I feel about it: I don't mind it, but not really the main reason I tuned in. I wouldn't mind the show running longer, though, so we get enough of both ranty Hardwick and competing contestants.

What bothers me beyond this is also him always pitching his podcast and twitter at the end of every show. I feel like on his podium they should just put his twitter handle up there and let it be

I do agree that it went on too long, but it didn't bother me too much. All in all, I think I'm a little bit perplexed at how many nerds just hate people singing in movies and on TV when I love it (if it's done well).

e: It reminds me of when the "Les Miserables" movie came out, and I heard people saying, "Ugh, I didn't like it - too much singing." I wanted to ask them, "What exactly did you think you were getting into, then? It's 'Les Miz.' There's a lot of singing. That's the point." It's the same thing with Chris Hardwick; he sings a lot in his comedy, and that's just part of his brand.

I hope in tomorrow's show, as Chris is getting ready to give yet another rant about Kanye, someone leans over and whispers 'hey dude everyone has figured out that was a super obvious joke by now maybe stop going for the lowest hanging fruit of 'get a bunch of nerds to clap by not liking a popular thing'.

Yeah, I've gotten really annoyed a few times now because he uses airtime to go off on a long opening schtick like that nipple rant and I keep thinking he's robbing airtime from the three guest comedians from telling better jokes.

Honestly I liked some of his rants, him calling out people going 'ew gross' at Cyrus' video at the start was great, it's just the literal easiest thing to get a reaction from a nerd crowd to go 'hey...popular thing...I don't like it...' especially when it involves you not understanding a super basic joke. Like, Beck grins and waves him up and he does a super dramatic 'let me think about it, nah' thing after, that's like, straight up cartoon levels of blocking a joke.

I'm just checking here, you do know that it's not just about that moment and Kanye went off backstage on an apparently dead serious rant about Beyonce losing, right?

(I say "apparently" because there might be something I'm missing here.)

He said he didn't like the result and basically did the normal 'respect artistry' poo poo everyone who's favorite artist doesn't win does but it feels like people are attributing a lot of emotions to it that weren't there other than 'he did a dumb little thing and he talked poo poo backstage like nearly everyone does'. I guess what I'm saying is he was being dumb but if it was literally anyone but Kanye West doing it most people would meet it with 'yea ok dumb joke and a dumb bit of poo poo talking' instead of BREAKING KANYE WEST MELTS DOWN BOY WE ALL ARE MAD AT KANYE WEST AREN'T WE and for a dude who constantly makes fun of that kind of bullshit gossip rag culture Chris doing it when it gets easy cheers from the crowd is really lame.

Come to me .... and live forever.
Kanye's got a history of this sort of thing, basically throwing a tantrum whenever something doesn't go his way, which is why it makes for easy news and comedy bait. That said, it is indeed easy bait and Chris works best as the host of things, not the guy doing a monologue before the featured comedians get introduced.
