There's arguments both ways but adomian acted like it was INSANE that anyone else dare play a public figure Yeah, he was a writer. For one year. In the 80's. And only had one skit air. And quit because he hated it. Adomian was selling out shows as the character, Larry David got the job because he was technically part of the staff and now has a successful sitcom. One actually, you know, put work as the character, the other just had an offer to do it. Comedians are competitive. I can totally see where Adomian's coming from. I don't think it's crazy to be pissed off that the comedian showcase show would rather pick the old guy with a name who's barely doing any work get on instead of the young guy who built a routine around the character. prefect posted:My theory is that Adomian needed the money a lot more than Larry David. Yeah. Adomian could have used the paycheck and the attention. Everyone knows who Larry David is already and he's not hurting for cash.

I'm glad that Larry David apparently had no practice being a 70 year old Jewish guy from Brooklyn.

I haven't listened to The Dollop in a long time, that was a 90 minutes well spent. I had never even heard of such a race, which helped.

Seinfeld* and Curb are deservedly well-regarded. And I thought his Bernie was okay. Nonetheless, he's not a character actor or good at impersonations. My point is, Adomian's frustration wasn't unfounded and I don't think should be held against him. *even though some of it's best seasons and most memorable episodes happened after he stepped down as showrunner

This isn't that crazy of a take, dude. Larry David left at the end of season 7. There are 48 episodes where Jerry was the showrunner, including famous ones like "Muffin Tops", "Bizarro Jerry", "The Abstinence", "Yada Yada", "Frogger" and a bunch of others. They were also, by ratings and viewership, the series most popular seasons.

By the way, I'd recommend The Death of Stalin for Dollop fans. It's basically a movie version of a Dollop episode. The acting is top notch.

This is a hard decision for me to make as someone who was listening to the Dollop since the initial lost episodes, but think I have to add that 1906 Race Dollop to my top 5.

The biggest difference between Death of Stalin and a Dollop episode is the use of accents. The director behind the film didn't even try capturing all the different accents in the USSR. So he cast actors with their own strong regional accents from Brooklyn to Yorkshire. Meanwhile, Gareth would try doing a Russian accent for Stalin instead of a Georgian one. Then he would accidentally slip into an Italian accent and be stuck portraying Stalin that way thru out the podcast because that's the voice he could do. Even though Stalin dies early on with very few speaking lines.

In 1989 the Simpsons had 28 million viewers an episode. In 1999 it was 13 million. In 2009 it was 7 million. In 2016 it was 4 million. It's been a pretty steady decline.

So percentage if the US watching has been shrinking even more than just the basic viewership numbers soory about your argument prefect

I was a fan back when they were good.  I still get unironically angry when I think about the episode with Joe Namath in it.

Snowy posted:Hell yeah it was, I hope they bring him back soon. Don't think it's sour grapes. SNL does not cast openly gay people. Usually, when they pick a part, they do castings. Odds are someone with top notch impressions was part of the casting. And he lost to a guy playing himself. Any comedian would be irritated.

SNL's also bad about hiring minorities in general. Over 90% of guests have been white, there are always more men than women. And as near as I can figure this might be the first season where they've hired more than 2 men and 1 woman of color. This isn't for lack of funny female comedians or comedians of color or homosexual comedians, and I won't speak to their motives for this hiring pattern.

Chevy Chase isn’t the best example since he’s a gigantic rear end in a top hat. If you think of “comedic white male who could be a main character in a movie” then Lorne’s hired a ton of them.

I did enough dives into Blackwater in college. loving war criminal deserves to die in The Hague. I love the Dollop but i can't bring myself to listen to it right now because i know i will be angry for the rest of the week. it happened when i listened the Iraq war and a few others like enron too. the trump episodes though were weird. i hate the orange pissbrain but his child hood story sorta made me feel "bad" for him because after hearing it, his path was kinda set to be a broken racsist manchild who only cared about "winning" because daddy impressed it upon him.
