I've been a fan of Eric Andre's stuff in the past but this last special was a mess.

^That's greatXIII posted:Unrelated: Kyle Kinane's newest special, Trampoline in a Ditch, is available to stream on Pandora (wide release on the 24th) and I'm pretty stoked to listen to it. The two tracks I've heard have both been great Also, reminder about this. It's great too.

Wow that one took a while to appear given it was doing the rounds again recently and on the tails of the Chris D'Elia thing, and Ross even acknowledged it.

Jim Gaffigan got a little feisty on Twitter last night and the hard right nutballs are going crazy. So, is his new special worth watching? The last one I watched was way over a decade ago and I didn't really enjoy the subjects he talked about (food mainly), but he's really quick and funny off the cuff in interviews and on podcasts so I feel like I should like him more.

Jim remains one of the funnier comedians working today, of the clean set it's only him and Brian Regan that I even bother watching.

Ha I feel exactly the same way, never really cared about his actual sets but whenever I hear him on CBB or whatever, he comes across as a totally good and fun dude. His twitter work last night was solid, good job!

yea I never much liked his specials proper but whenever he's been in stuff he's seemed like a perfectly nice and funny guy, not shocked he told some of the most overtly hateful freaks in the country he doesn't give a gently caress if they like his stuff or not.

Ryan Stout is another good clean comedian. Relatively unknown but it looks like he came out with an album in January of last year.

I know this came out in 2018 but I didn't see it at the time, and now I'm subject to clips of it everytime I drive a longer distance and put on the Netflix channel on Sirius... but why did Netflix think it was a good idea to pay for a Fred Armisen special where it's all about drums, to an audience full of drummers? Like, I get niche humor but even as someone who gets the gags, there's just nothing really there.

Fred Armisen's drummer stand up is great. I don't know poo poo about drumming and I still loved it. But maybe I just love Fred. I listen to Tim Heidecker's podcast (which I highly recommend) and Fred occasionally pops in since their good friends and it's always a good time.

Maybe it needs to be seen in full and with the visual aspect? I can't put my finger on it. I don't have strong feelings for Fred either way, I know some people can't stand him but he's definitely done stuff I've enjoyed and I do mean to watch more of Portlandia after I kinda trailed off in s3 or so. I've not listened to Heideckers podcast, but what I've seen of Office Hours is a lot of fun, especially when he ragged on one of the Florida dummies running for office, and when Chris James appeared.

Fred Armisen is one of those people I can tell is talented and understand why people like, but absolutely cannot stand. I wish him every success in the world, so long as I don't have to watch it happen.

I like Armisen in some of the Documentary Now! eps & some SNL stuff, but sometimes he feels too controlled for me. Like I know all comedians are trying to remain in control of their jokes, but he can come off as robotic in his delivery, to me. Like you can tell from his eyes that he is beep-booping the perfect delivery. I would do the same thing, if I were a sketch comedy artist, but I would wear shades. Disclaimer: The above is what I've seen of him. I haven't watched Portlandia because I'm not American and it would be dumb to do so

I'm a drummer and I like Fred but even I thought about stopping that stand up halfway through. It seemed too... tame? Boring? I think he's much better suited to sketch comedy.

Portlandia is amazing. I’m American, but never been to the northwest.

fred armisen has dead sociopath eyes and every story I've seen from women who have dated him confirms that theory edit: here's a quote (from this Gawker article full of dirt about how terrible he is to women) from his ex-wife, Elizabeth Moss: quote:"One of the greatest things I heard someone say about him is, 'He's so great at doing impersonations. But the greatest impersonation he does is that of a normal person.' To me that sums it up. and no one would know 'people doing an impression of a real human being' better than a died in the wool Scientologist DC Murderverse fucked around with this message at 01:54 on Sep 13, 2020 |

Awww, I loved Stand-Up For Drummers! It was my favorite stand-up special that came out that year. I'm not a drummer, but I am a musician, I've played in bands, and I know drummers, so I got almost all the jokes and references and laughed my rear end off the whole time. I was most impressed and amused by the regional accents and the drumsets and styles representing different decades. I totally get that it was a high-concept stand-up special that might not appeal to everyone, but I appreciated that it was totally different from anything else ever, and also hilarious. And for the record, I was usually annoyed by Fred on SNL, but loved Portlandia more often than not. I'm not a hipster (I swear!), but I'm the right age and demographic to know a lot of them and what they're into, so most of the jokes and concepts landed for me, and Carrie Brownstein is adorable.

The only people I've ever met that hate Portlandia were the very people the show was making fun of.

Portlandia is by it's very existence a sketch show - for each season there is 20: 40: 40 ratio of good : ok : bad sketches. That's it. That's all. Put a bird on it. Obnoxious bike man, tangled headphone cord art with Jeff Goldblum so on so forth

I thought it was consistently great for the first 2 seasons. After that the consistency started to fall off until the last few seasons where it was like 1 good sketch per episode.

I thought it was fine, some good parts but some incredibly lazy. White people don’t like masks what about klan masks SO CLEVER. And yes I know that comedians can take worn out jokes and use their own inflection/voice to improve them but this really was just low hanging fruit. Him smoking on stage was absolutely pretentious though.

wow the final season of the eric andre show was bad. the street pranks were ok, but the celebrity segments seemed way more condensed, like they got nothing out of most of them (that ballplayer guy, griffin in the final episode, he was the best, probably). also i watched the "making of" (theres no reason to do that, but it came on so) and only two guests ever walked off? thats pretty wild

Was mixed on the studio stuff, I think more people were at least expecting "something" but there were still a lot of funny things. I quite enjoyed the rapper ninja warrior stuff to end the episodes with as some of them seemed legitimately pissed. Was weird they left the interview in with the lady who died since filming, did they just not realize?

yeah rapper ninja warrior was great and should have had more runtime i just googled the Naya Rivera episode, apparently they did realize and "had a blast" (when they filmed) so they aired it because of that: https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/tv/news/naya-rivera-eric-andre-show-death-b1719651.html Carthag Tuek fucked around with this message at 19:18 on Dec 4, 2020 |
