It's really lame though, and he constantly does it. If you think that's somehow inherent to the structure of comedy, I don't know what to tell ya. It's not just he's riffing, it's literally: Gourley: And that's just james bond for you. Conan: (laughing) And that's just james bond for you (more laughing) Or an irish boxer Again, I don't think he does this on purpose, but he does it consistently.

If I say a joke to someone and they laugh and repeat it then I feel like it landed and they liked it, not that they are trying to steal it and take credit from me... seems like just a mannerism thing.

Fair enough When it happens alot, and it's just someone repeating the same thing instantly slightly louder, it just gets noticeable. Which is kind of the original point, if you're listening to hundreds of hours of a semi unedited unfiltered person talking, you will absolutely pick up on their mannerisms, and sometimes those are mannerisms that annoy you in anyone, let alone this thing you are voluntarily listening to I'm not wholesale making GBS threads on Conan, I do agree and think the guy is a decent human, just pointing out things I would have never noticed had I not started listening to this dudes podcast(s)

Get the same vibe from the Scrubs one too a little tbh, where Zach thinks he’s funnier than he is and doesn’t realise the power dynamic that the two producers work for him and have to find him funny. At least there’s no feeling like that with the Sunny podcast, Megan definitely seems to be genuine friends with the guys.

Her vibe is "I don't have any real ego since I'm not on-air talent" which is a good balancing move, and also that she's just really happy to be there. I had no idea about her history of wanting to write for sunny before doing so, so it makes total sense. I'm pro meg Since we're doing the review other podcasts thing..I also have a weird like/dislike thing with stay f homkins. It's a married couple that clearly love each other, but at times the thing feels like being on a bad double date with an insufferable couple. And other times it makes me genuinely laugh

Threedom is my favourite pod in the way it seems like genuinely listing in on the three’s friendship in a way that you imagine isn’t much different when the cameras aren’t rolling.

The SNL podcast with carvey and spade has that feel too, I buy these dudes goto dinner and bullshit the same way. The only downside is for a good while they don't seem to understand that you can't have three active mics because you can't make out a single loving thing when three people talk at once. But they figure it out.

It's sort of just his schtick, it's like 50/50 self-effacing humor and over-exaggerated maniacal behavior, both totally played up for laughs. It works for him for sure, it's not nearly as dialed up as the version stephen colbert was doing for years. The stuff that sticks out to me in listening to him "raw" form, might just be verbal tic stuff from being a talk show host for years. To his credit, he's been in show business since the 80s, and any story you hear about him is always like "I was his intern and then he gave me a bottle of wine on my last day and said good luck" never like awful poo poo.

im honestly shocked people came out of the woodwork with hella podcast recommendations and suggestions or endorsements. conan obrien is aggressively unfunny, just like all other late night talk show hosts. the two main guys from scrubs are on all these cringe rear end tmobile ads i see before youtube videos and they piss me off (tho i have seen a few scrubs episodes and it was fine). the good place is corny. can't get into those shows to watch let alone to listen to the creators on a podcast. to each their own but yeah im just surprised.

Yeah, Scott, Paul, and Lauren just hanging out and chatting on Threedom is pretty great, for the reason you said. There's not even the filter of Comedy Bang Bang! where Paul or Lauren are playing characters 95% of the time and Scott is playing somewhat dumb and obstinate. The Deep Dive is a similarly genuine friendship from another duo in that extended friend group, Jessica St. Clair and June Diane Raphael, though they've also gone way more into the monetization side of podcasting. Honestly, a lot of the Scott Aukerman-adjacent stuff is pretty great if you like improv comedy, especially now that he's semi-retired. Threedom and Comedy Bang Bang! are still publicly distributed by Earwolf, but after he sold off his stake he retained the rights to CBB and some other stuff and spun off into CBBWorld. Now it's just him and his actual friends loving around and doing what they want.

I find for my personal consumption that sports podcasts do not encourage the level of insane parasocial attachment people seem more inclined to get with comedy stuff or like. True crime? Is that still a thing

i can admit that i watch a few youtubers religiously that i feel a parasocial relationship toward. it's not my intention, it's a bit cringe, but we all do it to a degree. however, i think consuming sports commentary media (tv shows, podcasts, whatever) comes along with its own version of brainrot in that people feel like their mere fandom alone has the cosmic power to change the outcome of a game or whatever. its bro astrology and tarot, basically.

Eh, for me it's not so much the parasocial stuff, just that it's a large group of top-tier comedians who have worked together long enough that even them talking about nothing is entertaining. I'm sure that even their "genuine" podcasts are played up a bit, but there's still a real, genuine chemistry and Paul F. Tompkins' general boisterousness is simply endearing. Or even just that Scott Aukerman does the self-effacing privileged rich white dude a lot better than Rob or Glenn. He's fully aware that his dumb local radio show to promote the LA UCB coincidentally hit at the right time to explode into a podcast network and 5 season TV show, and that otherwise he's basically an uncredited award show and script punch-up writer after his time with Mr. Show. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Anrkj4aIY0

I think WNYC and NPR stuff long predates the true-crime podcast boom, and even things like marc marons thing, who might be one of the earliest people doing the comedy talk show thing with it. Granted those networks have radio presence so it was kinda cheating, but Radiolab has been around forever. 21 years at this point. Still my #1.

Most sports podcasts I've come across in passing just discuss things like transfer news, backstage drama or historical fun facts. So it's "Who's stupid enough to sign Cristiano Ronaldo this time?", "Who's stupid enough to buy Wrexham this time?" or "How drunk was Gazza during the 1990 World Cup?" more than anything.
