That director Mike guy must have been the worst guest they've ever had. Luckily Adam and Nick were on point.

Adam was always the best part of cum town and we all always hated Stav, right guys?

Sincere reply: it's a classic "the whole is greater than the sum of its parts"; as part of an ensemble, Stav worked. But on his own I have no interest in the material he's doing or the formats he's pursuing. Retrospectively, within the project he probably had the weakest 'character' and on his own contributed the fewest actual funny bits (one of his last appearances opens with him just saying "pussy pussy pussy pussy"- is that funny at all?) but it'd be ludicrous to say everyone hated him, his laugh particularly was an integral part of the show, like Ed McMahon. With the garbage he's peddling now (those clips, oof madon :ughh:) I'm sure he'll be very successful going mainstream.

Sincere post in the not cumtown thread. Nick is obviously very funny and probably the main reason people listen, Adam is also really funny, but they basically need a Stav to keep up the energy. Stav was the least funny of any of them, but his energy really kind of ramped up everything and also served as a "stop" function when a bit wasn't working.

I don't think they need Stav, but they need to figure the dynamic out more because the average ep of TAFS is about 1/4th as funny as cumtown. The show hinges way too much on the guests being able to keep pace right now and most of them can't. And if there is no guest both Nick and Adam will keep doing a bit for 10 minutes that should have lasted 30 seconds.

I'm sure if they have the Chapo guys, Ian or whatever on it'll still be great, but they really need a replacement stav or something. Just someone who knows when to laugh and groan at the right times.

I'm not hating or anything. It's still good and I'm still gonna listen but it's pretty obvious they are still figuring out what the hell they are going to do with it.

Counterpoint: the Dracula episode was one of the best things they've done in years and not just for the visual stuff.

I get this funky high on the yellow sun.

Bein’ Ian makes me think of the best parts of The Todd Glass Show, which I loved for a long time before it stopped being good. The laughter is infectious and it’s a total good vibes listen. I had been listening in reverse order and in episode 1 he and his friend Tim spend at least a full minute at some point laughing and struggling to breathe without saying anything just because they completely broke each other.

I don’t think it could ever sustain its own thread, but this should always be viewed as the unofficial Bein’ Ian appreciation thread.

i'd like to point out that the reason he and his bud couldn't speak from wheezing in ep 1 was because of a very graphic rendition of Mr. Hands

How is this even remotely true. Adam would lose his confidence half way through a cumtown riff.

Lmao so I noticed this the other day. In the first episode, the credits say "Theme Song by: The Lumineers". Same in episode two. Then in episode 3 it changes to "Theme Song by: Wesley Schultz from The Lumineers". And I cracked up thinking of Ian getting a call from the guy and being told "look . . . we have contracts and poo poo, you can't just say THE BAND did the song for you" and Ian freaking out all apologetic.

Ian definitely said he’d suck off the singer of the lumineers to make it up to him.
