What of the very Timekeeper?!

Timekeeper's voice I think is only funny once you know the character. It's kind of a funny voice, but it's the contrast with the absolute triviality of the stuff that he's talking about that makes it as funny as it is.

I don't know if you figured it out yet but on when you are at the Netflix page for MBV just click on trailer/extra features.

It's on the Roku app. I thought there was a separate section for trailers, but it's in the special itself (there should be an option lower down for trailers, below the play/start at beginning/etc options)

Will Hines was great. I think he was genuinely thrown by Kurt and Scott's apparent hatred of motorcycles. He couldn't stop laughing, and it seemed like he came to talk about something else, but it got too silly to go that way.

Will is easily one of the most talented improvisers on the planet. Him throwing away a premise means he gets to have more fun and bounce off of others way more than his preconceived bit. He tends to be really goofy and just have fun on CBB which may obscure the fact the he's an absolute genius.

God I miss his stage presence in New York :smith:

If any of y'all are interested in improv pick up his book and read his blog :allears:

I came here to chew bubblegum and quote 'They Live', and I'm... at an impasse.
I was really surprised that Ben and Tom have a show together. It seems like they really wanted to step on each other's premises. It's weird that Scott is best when he's playing other characters, !but it keeps him too busy to play continuity cop.

I want to know what forum he reads, because he's definitely heavily implied that he participates in one several times in the past.

There are a couple other Earwolf regulars out there who also occasionally surprise me with really obscure Star Wars references or whatnot, but yeah Gabrus really takes the cake. No pun intended.

Here is an amazing Aukerman interview:

Truly bizarre reading CBB-style bits in print, also Akiva Schaffer is apparently a Scott Aukerman clone, without the names I don't think you'd be able to tell who was making each joke.

Holy moly this is a great interview. Thank you for sharing it. Here's a highlight:
