Colonel Whitey posted:It's truly incredible, when he said Hightower in the last TTAZZ I couldn't be sure he wasn't doing it as a goof. But nope, I think that's just Clint McElroy. I can kind of see it, Highchurch is an uncommon compound word but The Hightower and jokes about it were everywhere in the 70s and 80s.

The joke is that Travis and Clint hardly ever remembered to do character voices.

Travis had a character voice, but it was just his normal voice with more confidence.

Justin and Travis, seeking inspiration for good female voices, both rewatch Monty Python. edit: Clint also does a Monty Python woman's voice but he doesn't need to study

One of the first live shows, they're going about in the usual fashion until Justin, with fury and anger, yells out "CHARACTER loving VOICES" and everyone cheers. It was a good moment.

Justin and Travis should have all of their in character dialogue dubbed over by Sydnee (and in transformed state, Charlie) and Teresa.

Ariong posted:Your assumption that these people are being pandered to implies that those people are the only ones who spoke out against *insert controvertial thing here* which is dumb. Just because an unreasonable person says something is the case doesn’t mean that thing is not the case. You can be right and still be a dick about it. Yep. It really blows to hear "well, I WOULD consider hearing you out, but a small minority of people who agree with you are annoying assholes, so clearly your opinion is actually meritless."

The most recent Sawbones is a neat entry point: what you would find in a doctors medicine bag about a hundred twenty five years ago. For the gossips (and people who've been pregnant before, and fathers) out there, it also had a definite confirmation as to the pregnancy.

Man I started getting into MBMBaM after the Adventure Zone and it kind of blows my mind that there's 370+ episodes. I thought getting caught up on Adventure Zone was an odyssey but now I've basically got what feels Infinite McElroys. It is a little weird listening to them in reverse order though, they keep talking about how they're going to do the things they talked about having done in the previous episode - would it make more sense to start from the beginning? Which is presumably so far back that Griffin's voice hadn't cracked yet.

If you're planning on listening to it all anyway, then it makes more sense to start from the beginning. I can't imagine how weird it would be to listen in reverse order. People tend to say the early episodes are a bit rough, and I suppose they are, but they're still entertaining enough. If for some reason you can't get through the first several, just skip ahead to about #50 or so.

The earliest episodes are not as bad as the brothers make them out to be, but I think we’re all in agreement that they are of a lower quality. They’re certainly of a lower sound quality. Starting from the beginning will put the good stuff ahead of you. Also, they don’t often have running gags that last between episodes, but when they do it will work better starting from 1.

Back when I was catching up to MBMBaM, I had to buy their app to listen to the earliest episodes. You whippersnappers have it easy.

I got backward to episode 360, where they played a clip from episode one they were really embarrassed about, then decided I had to start with episode one and it is definitely a blast from the past. Their very first question Griffin posits the surely ludicrous idea of someone making a thousand twitter accounts that'll follow you to boost your social media presence for 50$, and when Travis suggests someone might already be doing that they just laugh it off. Meanwhile in 2017, Presidential elections are decided by such tactics.

Hey if anyone's interested, the comic Griffin mentioned in his description of Springheel is really good. https://imgur.com/gallery/aD5X6 It's just a short fancomic, though.

I started listening to TAZ and MBMBaM in like, March. I listened to all of TAZ and then started going backwards through MBMBaM. I'm now around episode 80. The McElboys like to say "skip the first 100" but there are some good jokes in the ones I am listening to. It's just that they were shittier in terms of saying things like "fat bitch" and whatever - which sucks but I'm still going to listen to all of them.

I jumped back to episode one and am working my way forward and hoo boy, it was definitely 2010, you know? Like Griffin just dumps hard all over juggalos yet here we are in 2017 where they're all anti-establishment heroes now. also certain unironic detours into discussing the friendzone that would not play well today

They also slam furries pretty hard in the first dozen or so episodes. Pretty remarkable change to now where Travis tweets about what his fursona would be if he were a furry.

well why not posted:They also slam furries pretty hard in the first dozen or so episodes. Pretty remarkable change to now where Travis tweets about what his fursona would be if he were a furry. There's also one episode where they get real mad at fat people in theaters. I doubt that would go over so good if it was a new episode.
