I have zero context on any of these shows so I never have any idea what they're talking about and what's part of the bit or isn't. e: plus the boys aren't cynical and bitter yet, which is a big part of the draw feedmyleg fucked around with this message at 18:51 on Jan 9, 2019 |

Franchescanado posted:2018 was a solid year for HH, so really any ep will be good. The only “lore” you need is that a here are Pro version episodes, so you may miss references to jokes in that. Yeah 2018 was a great year for HH. They know what they like doing at this point and they do it really well.

Love any time HH dunks on SNL but I was disappointed when I realized this week's ep wasn't going to have clips from a real audition tape

A pretty good way of getting into HH is listening to the series of ones where they "do" another host's podcast with them. So Lapkus, Kulap, PFT, Tawny, I remember those being very good and very antagonistic.

Also yeah the Adam Conover episode was great and probably works really well as an introduction to the show's general vibe without being too inside-baseball

So I know they already started with last week's Harry's ad, but I can't imagine we won't soon discover their new contract also requires them to be closer to the copy on the ads (and prove how right the boys are that there is more value in making them memorable)

They usually do the obviously required stuff.

I actually prefer the ad free versions for the looser style of their modern eps. I never thought I’d say this because their ads are still hilarious but I think the show works better uninterrupted. Maybe one day they’ll make a pro ads version where all the ads are front-loaded.

It's me, the sicko who thinks listening to ads is mostly annoying even if they throw in some bits to spice it up. There have been some exceptions here and there, mostly when they actively insult the company they're promoting, and I do think their ads reads are better than anyone else's, but I still don't generally view them as content.

The Quip ad in this weeks HH is really strange. I am guessing they won't be a sponsor for much longer. Also The Flagrant One's released another greatest hits this week.

One of the best starter for HH wasn't that long ago: Triumph at Comic-Con. https://www.earwolf.com/episode/triumph-at-comic-con/ It's the boys recording the day after a disastrous live show at Comic-Con going through the show and dying of shame. Also with most of it being clips from a live-show there's not much in the way of in-jokes. "One thing I was worried about, was the Comic-Con audience not being particularly "open" to people who weren't exactly like them poking light fun at the very thing they were there to celebrate. - Extremely light. For example saying the Hulk is just a green version of Ben Grimm. It turns out we were wrong, they LOVED that! BEST sense of humor about comic book stuff"    Don't just take my word for it, here's some random people saying that thing we always are afraid about to tell others about this show

The ads are usually the best part of the show. Skipping them seems bonkers.

I’d argue an easy episode to ease into is the two Joe Mande episodes this year where they break down “his” stand up. It’s not a typical episode but it gives you a vibe.

For the new listener who doesn't want to go full psycho and start with RSS from the beginning like I suggested yesterday, I think the Tom Scharpling episodes in order serve as a good summary of the show. In his first episode Tom is playing straight man to idiotic "insiders" Hayes & Sean, and with each subsequent appearance it gradually becomes a story about Tom desperate for the approval/business expertise of his cool new LA friends (who, by that point, are totally over it.)Snooze Cruise posted:The Moriarty thing is seriously the funniest reoccurring joke on the show for me. The resurrection of Santaman in episode 201 is one of the show's greatest moments Waterbed Wendy posted:Oh man, I loved that episode. I thought I was the only one who found that stand up set lame. Listening to Carlin routines today is like...you can absolutely recognize why the guy was such a big deal in his time, because his material is completely of its time, and that is exactly why it is embarrassingly terrible now.

"I'm gender-specific, capital-intensive, user-friendly and lactose intolerant." "Yeahhh, dude." The way Joe says that, just fantastic.
