Anyone have a mirror for the early few episodes Dave took down? I listened to them as a WTR fan but obviously didn't save them.

Most of the links look broken online, but did find descriptions to maybe help others find stuff.

Me and my fiancee "Otto in the Attic" and cracked up. Then we listened to "The Terror of 1741", and did not laugh, because that was depressing as gently caress. What episodes are not depressing as gently caress, and are as funny as "Otto in the Attic"?

You want the Willie Dee and the Rube. Which are two separate episodes, not an awesome 80s buddy cop comedy. I wish it were an awesome 80s buddy cop comedy.

The tank chase! That one's a lot of fun. And, yes, the Willie Dee, the Rube, and 172, the episode on America's Worst Lottery winner. Those are all funny, imo.

What episodes are not depressing as gently caress, and are as funny as "Otto in the Attic"? A big part of The Dollop's appeal to me is telling absolutely abominable stories in a pretty palatable way - though yeah, some of them leave you despairing, no matter how funny. That said, these were memorable episodes that don't involve the darkest elements of humanity exposing themselves and getting away with it: The Egg Nog Riot (The story of the 19th century's worst college party) Lenny Dykstra (Insane idiot fails upward) The Dark Secret of Swimming Pools (You will never guess the Dark Secret) Prince Albert Visits Australia (A royal trip turns into a comedy of errors and international incidents) John Wayne Thompson's Armageddon (A young man in the Great Plains has a bad day) The Car Known as "The Dale" (A story where every time you think you've heard the twist...you're wrong) More University and One Taste Incorporated (Not to be enjoyed in mixed company) Pedestrianism (Perhaps the show's best example of how bored people must have been in the 1800's)

The Bone Wars was really funny. And I love any of their takes on various secret societies like the KIan or the Bald Knobbers. Especially the Bald Knobbers, because they make fun of them so loving incessantly.

I'm not sure which one of the LAPD episodes it is, but whichever has the upstanding citizen running the soup kitchen with the secret mistress his wife knew about and was okay with is pretty great. e: Also David Hahn

That was one where I'd actually read a bit about the dude in question beforehand; I haven't decided if that made the episode better or worse. Same with Jack Parsons, actually.

Berkeloid posted:207 - The Animal Horror of Macquarie Island That one is just so grizzly that it loops around to become hilarious. It basically broke Gareth and most of the audience too. Also maybe it's too obvious a candidate, but The Hippo Bill is the greatest episode. Every few minutes it seems like the story has settled on something but then it just moves in some other absurd direction.

JethroMcB posted:John Wayne Thompson's Armageddon (A young man in the Great Plains has a bad day) This one depresses me quite a lot, but I know not everybody will have the same reaction. A teenage kid loses both his arms to a threshing machine but does not die. All the other suggestions people have made are great, though. And even the miserably-depressing episodes about racism (yay America  ) usually have some fun in them, even if it's dark humor. (I initially wrote "black humor", but then figured I should change it.)rumble in the bunghole posted:The Torture Psychologists is exactly what it says on the tin. Probably skip "The Torture Psychologists" and the one about the Iraq war. Might be too soon for those, and they're also the "bad people get away with bad things" kind of episodes. prefect fucked around with this message at 20:41 on Dec 11, 2016 |

I haven't re-listened to it since it came out, but I remember The Jackson Cheese pretty fondly. No big stakes or social injustice, just a bonkers story of a big fuckin piece of cheese.

Fun, mostly lighter, episodes, with my short descriptions: -Count Dante - he had a lion IN a dojo! -James Sullivan and the Olympics (live with Rory Scovel) - the craziest 8-month-long Olympic Games ever -The Egg Nog Riot - West Point students gone wild -The Straw Hat Riot - people did not like other people wearing straw hats in September -The Pig War (live with the Stop Podcasting Yourself guys, Dave and Graham) - a tiny island is a huge deal. I like SPY, but I thought Dave (Shumka) kind of dragged this one down a bit. Graham seemed to be getting into it a bit more. the story is pretty fun. -Disco Demolition Night - baseball game + event night = crazy poo poo happens -Ten Cent Beer Night - baseball game + event night + very very cheap beer = crazy poo poo happens -Hugh Motherfucking Glass - Dave typed "who is America's biggest badass?" into google and that's how he discovered Hugh Glass. iirc, there is some graphic description of his wounds, but the story is more about how he's a badass mountain man. -Michael Malloy - an Irishman who just wouldn't die -History of Domino's Pizza - reverse Dollop about the guy who founded Domino's -America's Greatest Sack of Flour - it's not just a sack of flour. yes it is. -The Bunion Derby - a race put together by morons and assholes Fifty Farts fucked around with this message at 02:19 on Dec 12, 2016 |

The ones people have mentioned are definitely contenders but I'd like to add Nim The Chimp to the list of huge bummers to avoid. I'd also agree that most of the bummer episodes are really strong in their own right, (Macquarie Island might be my favorite episode now because I'm an awful person I guess,) so if you're in a certain mood, maybe swing back around to a couple of them.
