I’m not saying it’s an easy show to make, but finding topics is not one of the hard parts considering your audience mails you things to read and riff off of every week. There’s just no reason to keep going back to the Brand Well.

Pigbuster posted:Travis is really good in that ghost house tour video they released out of the blue a while ago. Though honestly they were all running on full cylinders in that. despite him being the very literal soyface embodiment he actually is quite good at physical comedy too. Like in that bit where he's going through the 'don't spit, puke, or pee on anyone' and he's just kinda shrugging his shoulders all 'pft can you believe this poo poo?' that's a funny bit.

Ok Comboomer posted:You mean because of covid? Or do you reckon that making 13 straight years of content together as a family would burn them out? The former, most definitely. There's at least an end in sight now, but that can actually cause more anxiety because of the anticipation while you're still in the poo poo. Work-wise, they have significantly fewer responsibilities than they did just a few years ago. Clint retired from radio, Justin and Griffin don't have to churn out Polygon content all the time, and Travis already does everything so a heavy workload doesn't faze him much anyway. Plus no touring or appearances this year. They just have to record for a few hours at home each week. Life's just been hard lately, and they're all pretty anxious and sensitive boys. more falafel please posted:My favorite travis joke is "say it with donuts" "You dumb piece of poo poo" is easily the highest honor among McElroy brothers.

Travis is a "Three True Outcomes" where he either completely whiffs, is basically handed an easy punchline, or he absolutely demolishes with a well-timed joke. He's not everybody's favorite player, but his contributions to the game are undeniable. My only problem with him is that he fancies himself a pitcher, but has no real control. Just look at Old Beef.

I recently went back to the Trolls Podcast, and I had forgotten how genuinely funny it is. Highly recommend revisiting it. All three brothers on top form.

I just used to listen to a lot of MaxFun shows and then I slowly stopped one by one, until FF was my very last. I have lots of other podcasts that I listen to you’ve got like 2 pages of people going on about how Griffin is too negative and Travis has always been unfunny, but sure I’m the one saying objectionable poo poo.

i got to an episode of hey riddle riddle with by far the worst riddle ever, maybe riddle me piss should look into it Q: A woman walked into a room, saw acid on the floor, but did nothing about it, as the floor was not in any danger. Why? A: The woman was a teacher; she saw one of her students, named Acid, on the floor, reading a book.

It was horrendous in all the ways you’d want. It also had an extended music section by Diarrhea Planet of all bands. It’s a good show.

I checked out of season three after a few episodes, but I’m running out of comedy TTRPG podcasts. Are the goofs good enough to make up for Travis’ DMing?

For what it's worth, the latest episodes have been the best in a LONG time for me. Good goofs with wacky NPCs, no weepy monologues, and they all seem to be having fun. Now, is it worth slogging through stuff to get there? I'm sure binging helps a lot with that, but I don't know how much free time you have.

I think if you're one to get hung up on DMs, stick to what you already like. I've enjoyed Graduation a lot but I'm also in it for the McElroys and not the D&D aspect of it. I guess, anyway? I dunno, this thread has warped my brain.

Is there a general point where Graduation gets as good as it seems to be now? Think I might try my hand at just jumping right the gently caress in there and not worrying too much about what was missed (or just pick it up in the Previously On, Google it, w/e)

Riddle Guy '97 was an incredible couple of sessions made all the better by Carly / Albee's complete distaste for riddles and the revelation that riddles are bullshit and anything vaguely plausible can be the answer if you say it with enough confidence. And yeah Diarrhea Planet was the perfect way to close it out. The amount of time that went into looping the track seamlessly, putting the right effects on to make it sound like a live show and mixing with all the cast's vocal tracks must have been huge. If you like D&D with funny people making dick and fart jokes and sometimes being surprisingly poignant you should listen to Rude Tales of Magic.

Think I might try my hand at just jumping right the gently caress in there and not worrying too much about what was missed (or just pick it up in the Previously On, Google it, w/e) I'd put that point at about episode 20 personally, maybe a little earlier except that #19 is a bunch of extended dream sequences and monologues. That's about when they started to realize they needed to cut the campaign's timeline short and get to the good stuff. Didn't they originally plan for it to last five (in-game) years or something? But I think Travis has been doing a really good job with the recaps at the start of each episode so you could probably pick back up wherever you like.
