It would probably be a shorter list to just recommend episodes to avoid.

I figure anybody who does a public thing will attract a bunch of Internet people who hate them, no matter what. It doesn't have to be a rational hate, and it doesn't have to be a reasonable response. Forget about it, Jake. It's the Internet.

Like, the actual item is a little weird, but it didn't come across as the mind-boggling thing that they were making it out to be. I can understand that, for me it was a case of the story being entertaining enough in its own right to make the episode worth the listen

The episodes recommendations keep coming up a lot, understandably. I wished for a while there was a site to rate individual episodes of a podcast; and apparently that's what these guys are trying to do: https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/the-dollop-with-dave-anthony-a-82390/episodes But they don't have many people rating yet I think. A lot of episodes have like 2 people rating it. But might get interesting in the future, or is there another more popular site that does this? I don't even know if itunes does this.

Sometimes their riffs go on way too long and fall flat, and in later episodes there's literally 10~ minutes of bullshit at the front end that makes it pretty dense. I took a listen because of a recommendation from Chapo fairly late in the podcast, listened for like 5 minutes, and turned it off. I love the dollop now and think that when it's good, it's one of the best podcasts out there. I don't mind the live formats and don't really understand why they take so much flack, or more importantly, why they seem to take it so hard. But I do get that it's a bit of an acquired taste and there are some "off" episodes or portions of episodes

The feedback that he has tantrums over isn't even that bad, if you look at the stuff on reddit that gets his blood boiling it's like little nitpicky things or audio quality things, with some genuinely annoying arcs peppered in here and there. But he's in show business with a huge following and can't take criticism? When I was younger I was on the very fringes of entertainment, music, and art; like just barely touching a regional sphere of influence, and stuff I've done individually and otherwise has been picked apart by strangers and will continue to be, and it happens to anyone who sells the product of entertainment. It's such a normal thing and it's a net positive IMO, once you cool down and can deconstruct it. It's weird that some guy who's been at it for a couple decades thinks all feedback is insulting. Also, those live shows with the laughless-pauses-for-laughter sounded like dogshit and I'm glad people said something, but apparently that's a no-no for DA? It's all good baby I love the show, but dang. This is the first podcast where I'm doing the whole show from the beginning, I started like 3 months ago. I'm on ep. 120-ish and literally every single episode so far has been actual laugh-out-loud funny, I can't even pick a top 20 because Gareth is so f-ing funny in all of these early ones. The new ones have a little less steam, but I'd wager The Dollop is probably one of the few podcasts ever that has shined for this long and is never a chore to listen to. 300+ episodes is a lot of anything of any format, never mind hour-plus improv comedy. What a rant.

There is a reason that Dave titled his show Hothead. Dude flies off the handle, he has always flown off the handle, he's gonna keep flying off the handle, it's just who he is.

TLDR: He had a dad who was abusive and now criticism sets him off. Call it a trigger. It's just a particularly harsh trigger when it's something that even makes normal people a bit touchy.

There are tons of comedians who can't take criticism. Donald Glover just said he can't on Kimmel last week. Most people in show business completely avoid reviews and social media because of it. Most just avoid it all together. It's far more common that not common and it's bizarre to say otherwise. Comedians used to always talk about how they avoided the AV Club comments and A Special Thing boards. Also, he had repeatedly said it's DM's and emails but people keep bringing up Reddit. The narrative you want it to be does not match what he says. Hence why Gareth is talking about how they shouldn't make fun of people having a bunch of kids that die in the 1800's. We have no idea what that email or message was. As far as sound goes, Wil Anderson's quote is right.

I'm not saying that criticism is nice, and I didn't say everyone likes it, just that it is most definitely absolutely going to happen if you put yourself out there at all, and sometimes people are telling you valuable things that you might need to hear. The difference with him is that he's a huge whiney baby about it, yeah Donald Glover doesn't like criticism but he also doesn't post rants like "you know what I do this FOR FREE and i am done. So done ugh!". Donald Glover told Kimmel that he's sensitive and avoids the internet, not that people are ruining his good time and pissing him off. That's a lot different. Like I said I just started from the ep 1, and somewhat recently got to the one following him being criticized for reading other people's work word-for-word and giving no credit, and instead of saying something even remotely cool he has this sarcastic whine about how SOME PEOPLE think there should be sources and will begrudgingly post them online, and then "apologises" on r/thedollop and does more of a sorry-not-sorry about fair use and copyright. So whatever the source is, reddit or otherwise, he is a baby and withholds content and fan engagement, and sounds like a petulant turd justifying himself. e: also just because there's no fee to download an episode does not mean that a.) it's being done out of the goodness of someone's heart and they make nothing for it, and b.) obvious flaws may not be discussed for some reason? because it's free? i think im coming in a little hot on the whole thing, i obviously love the show and the hosts since i still listen, it does annoy me a little but im not gonna ruin the thread about it anymore life is a joke fucked around with this message at 01:16 on May 13, 2018 |

Yeah, if it's free I don't comment on poo poo. I move on and listen to something else. I think people who do are assholes and should be treated as such. Most of the time I've seen people crying about sound I've had no issues with it.

He's a funny dude, but doesn't have the knack for weird little character sketches and bits the way Gareth does (also James Adomian, apparently). He's funny. They have great chemistry. It's why the show works. But regardless, comedy is subjective, so to comment on what's funny is idiotic.
