Clouseau posted:Are the classic episodes on the site a little extra low res? They're at 540p at maximum (at least the couple I peeked at) and I know these were videotaped shows using not particularly great prints of the movie, but it looks a bit groady compared to my DVDs. DVDs would be 480p really.

And all respect to Jonah but Emily can do the quiet, understated riffs better, which is something I think all of the non-Mike seasons lacked until now. I think Emily is better than Jonah. Not that Jonah is bad, but Emily just has it.

I know Jonah was a YouTuber and Joel and (I think) Mike used to do standup in addition to the latter being a writer on the show practically since the beginning

She has some kind of history with puppeteering as she worked on the puppet episode of Doom Patrol.

Meltdown was a real formative show for 2000s LA comedians and that was his and Kumail’s show.

Joel was a prop comic and got on Carson (which I think was his only professional goal) and an episode of SNL. somebody offered him a sitcom but it didn't sound appealing

So in another universe Joel could have starred in “Natural Born Killers.”

It was something like he didn't like that they thought they could just buy him off and so he left town.

I also have always heard Weird Al wanted him for the part of Philo in UHF but Joel was busy on some puppet show or other.

I'm watching a rerun of the "The Days of Our Years" short and had kind of an interesting realization. I work in infrastructure and environmental protection (specifically, underground utilities), and the message from this 1955 PSA is fundamentally the exact same message STILL being repeated when it comes to horrific accidents used as examples for safety standards or negligence thereof. I actually just today got back from a typical industry conference, where inevitably there will be a keynote speaker who was almost killed/permanently disfigured by a gas or buried powerline accident, and was jarred to hear so many of the same themes in a 70-year-old Union Pacific safety video. Even the exact same verbiage is used ("it only took one second," "he'd done this a thousand times before," "it would be okay just this time," "he can never take back that moment," "if he had only just...," ) as in stories by Cliff Meidl (a former olympian who jackhammered into an unmarked power line, fell into the hole, was pinned down by the jackhammer, and electrocuted to the point where his knees literally exploded) or Brandon Schroeder (a journeyman electrican who was taught that OSHA requirements were flexible and was in a hurry for a project and skipped getting the right protective gear while restarting an electrical main, and accidentally dropped a live cable into a circuit box, causing an arc flash explosion that destroyed his hand, burned more than 60% of his body, and blinded his coworker). I just thought it was really fascinating how the cheesy scare video point is exactly the same as presentations today because we are horribly habitually lazy and negligent in the construction industry. edit: I'm a moron for making a semi-heavy seriouspost on the night of the public Gizmoplex premiere! Oh well Hazo fucked around with this message at 01:38 on May 7, 2022 |

I love Joel’s utter contempt for the name-reading thing, something he doubtlessly had to sign off on. Also love the split-second judgments the performers are making about what puns are probably too much and what name-based ribbing is probably ok to people who paid hundreds of dollars to have Jonah Ray imply that they have many children.
