He's more focused on just being the un-Trump, he's unsuccessful and mostly asexual.

I thought that Adomian was the weak link, really. Maybe Sanders is just a boring guy to parody? Atamanuik was hilarious.

Gilbert Gottfried's "Dirty Jokes" has my all time favourite offensive joke on it, and you'll know instantly which one it is if you've heard the record. It's the kind of joke that if you recite when people say "Who has a good offensive gag?", you take the bar so much lower than they were anticipating and might lose friends. But it's not worth repeating because only he has the delivery to do it justice.

Two lines long, 4 slurs/swearwords and offends pretty much everyone in the room. Amazing.

Adomian's Bernie was not that great, imho; not a fault of him but there just isn't much to go on as Bernie's just an old angry dude with an interesting voice and doesn't do much outrageous stuff (Adomian's Bernie voice isn't even that great either, actually..). Atamanuik's Trump, on the other hand, was fantastic as there's obviously there's plenty of material to use. Gilbert by himself was a bit out of place I thought (his blunt rape jokes were a bit much for this podcast), but having him hanging out with the rest of the guests was fantastic.

Well there's my two cents!

Isn't it great that he threw a hissy fit over not being asked to do it on SNL?

Yeah after hearing him here, it makes that whole thing even more dumb. Larry David is a naturally angry man who looks and sounds like Bernie and is around the same age and is 1000% more recognizable to the general public than an indie comic and who wrote for SNL at one point...was it even really a choice?

Edit: Adomian's Bernie sounds like a New Yorker who is partially submerged.

I feel like Adomian is close to a meltdown. On twitter a couple weeks ago he was getting furious with an AV Club writer for... not including him in Podmass or something? He also told a fan he doesn't really do podcasts anymore because nobody bought his album or bought tickets to his show.

It's actually super duper good, this just wasn't a particularly good format for it. Bernie v. Trump is amazing.

Adomian is right to feel unappreciated by mainstream podcast and comedy discourse. See: the hapless posters who don't like his Bernie impression.

Adomian has jokes and improv, David was reading a lovely SNL script. There is a clear difference.

Adomian is a smaller, more indie-ish comedian and SNL is a national institution not looking for a perfect imitation. There is a clear difference. (Also Adomian still wasn't that funny on this appearance.)

I'll have to hope so, he didn't bring much to this episode. I really like his other characters but this one fell flat for me.

Edit: much like in real life, you just can't Stump the Trump.

We all love impressions on podcasts, like Garry Marshall, Cake Boss, Dabney Coleperson et al because of the verisimilitude, so clearly Adomian should be on SNL if they're going to have anyone at all do Bernie.

I thought James Adomian's Bernie was spot on, especially here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BGRAonpLeQg
The old fart on the SNL debate wasn't that good imo, he looked the part and can talk loudly but sounded nothing like him.

from this great piece with ben schwartz interviewing paul f tompkins http://www.vulture.com/2016/02/ben-schwartz-talks-to-paul-f-tompkins.html

SUPER DUPER COMEDY BANG BANG SPOILERS

I will say, in the future, there is another Solo Bolo coming out, entitled “Solo Bolo Trio" – "Solo Bolo Trolo” – and I don’t want to say that we do, but there is a chance that there is a Hamilton tune or two sung. Because Scott and I went and saw Hamilton together in New York.

I love Gilbert's encyclopedic knowledge of African American sitcoms, which gave us Trump's "He was a big old nerd." For some reason, the way he said that sent me into a fit.

Gilbert laughs like he's in that scene from Final Fantasy X.

And yet despite how fake and forced his HAH! HAH! HAH! sounds, he did sound like he was having a legit fun time. It was confusing.

I noticed that too, but every sound that comes out of his mouth is part of an act so it didn't bother me as much as it usually would have. Aukerman can have a pretty forced laugh sometimes too, his actual lmao laugh is really wheezy so when he does a hammed up "HA HA HA" lol to keep a bit going sometimes it gets me out of the zone.

Speaking of Gilbert's offensive jokes and the Bob Saget roast, I remember there was a joke he told there and I was wondering if anyone knew how it ends because it seemed like Comedy Central edited the ending off (even in the uncut version) and cut to scenes of people in the crowd laughing. It goes something like this: "The bartender asks, 'how do you make a bloody rear end in a top hat?'(or something to that effect) And she(an Olsen twin) says (something about a receiving a drink from Bob Saget) and you wake up lying face-down" and it cuts off there to people laughing, but it seemed like there was more to it! Can't find it on YT
