Strange Matter posted:Oh god, this. This. Doug Loves Movies is litterally one of the highlights of my week because it's always hilarious and Doug always has fantastic guests. The live audience definitely complements the show, so much so that the lack of an audience in the last couple weeks (the show was recorded at Pardo's Never Not Funny studio) sort of impairs the overall quality. But my god it's hysterical. Throwing it out for Doug. The hilarity of this podcasts blows every other podcast out of the water. It is amazing. The comedy levels are off the chain, hook, AND charts. All three.

Some of the CDR characters are pretty dumb, but i've heard a few that I really like. Whoever plays Adam Scott's ex-step father is HILARIOUS, especially when he just starts listing funny things, like illnesses he has (The Lucy Liu Flu), or his list of unlicenses therapists he's seen (Susan Infantdeathsyndrome). Also, Cake Boss makes me laugh a lot.

I'm listening to the backlog of CDR and the really gross food critic with the phlegmy voice is making me laugh so hard i'm about to pee my pants at work, and is seriously hindering my production, not to mention the fact that I had to stop working to tell the internet all about this. I'll admit, some episodes of CDR are kind of miss, but there is SO much more hit.

Alright, because of this thread, I am going to listen to nothing but UYD ALL day at work, and I will see if I can develop a taste for it. I WANT to like it, because everybody else does, maybe I just haven't developed a connection with the hosts. I'll post a trip report later, so  until I get back.

Alright, time for the official "Guy who listened to Uhh Yeah Dude once for like 10 minutes and hated it and decided today to give it the genuine ol' college try" I started at episode 1, made it about halfway through episode 7 (episode 6 was missing off my iPod for some reason, but whatever), and, in retrospect, I did judge Uhh Yeah Dude a bit too harshly. The guys have great chemistry, they are consistantly entertaining and are occasionally quite funny. Their banter is interesting. With that being said, I can imagine the banter getting a little bit stale after a while if it's only these two guys, but I might be wrong. I'm not sure if they have special guests, funny characters, or quiz games they toss in later. And it is not as funny as Comedy Death Ray or Doug Loves Movies, but I can def see UYD making it into my podcast rotation.

Alright, around episode 15 of Uhh Yeah Dude, the actual laugh our loud moments are rolling in. Congrats, Uhh Yeah Dude, welcome to the team. Regarding Scott Aukerman... he does have his moments where he's funny, and his infrequent single lines. I love his running joke with Would You Rather where after every question he exclaims how "And that is EXACTLY how you play would you rather", and he comes up with hilarious stuff on the fly for that game. I've only heard them play "What am I Wearing?" once, and at the very end, when nobody has any loving clue how they were supposed to be playing, he ends it with "And that's how you play..." even though it WASN'T how you play. But whatever. I really really hope his Weirder Scott songs are meant to be horrible, because they are. But overall, his hosting abilities and cast of funny friends far surpass his own comedic value.

The_Rob posted:How in anyway shape or form are you supposed to think that his weirder scott songs are supposed to be not horrible. The whole joke is that they are awful parody songs. If you don't think Birthday Checks is hilarious then I don't know what to tell you. Okay, i'm satisfied then. There are a lot of people out there doing really horrible parody songs and thinking they rock, I was on the fence about whether or not Aukerman was one of those people.

For this reason alone, Ice-T needs to participate in every single Would You Rather game.

DrVenkman posted:I can't decide if she's talking about Bacon or Josh Brolin. She's talking about a sex scene though and I'm under the impression that whoever she was talking about might have been completely naked and a little bit excited because she goes on to mention how she kept her bra on instead. They were also talking about Hollow Man around the same time, right? I would guess it was about Kevin Bacon, IIRC he had to spend a lot of time bare-rear end naked during the making of that movie... you can even see his invisable penis when he's being sprinkled with water or paint or whatever the hell happened in that movie.

I loving hate you, Uhh Yeah Dude. Episode 34. The Maul of America. Crocs: Dead Comfy. How the gently caress am I supposed to get work done if I am too busy lolling, UYD?! What the gently caress. Also, further apologies for doubting this show. I took a brief haitus for the new This American Life and Wait Wait Don't Tell Me, but it's been all UYD ever since. And it's going to be all UYD all the way to Dragon*Con, and my wife might divorce me because of it, because she hates talk radio, she hates comedy, and she hates laughing and feeling good, but it will be loving worth it.

Civil posted:This was the first time I was able to enjoy CDR. I usually give up 5 - 10 minutes in if the episode isn't doing it for me. I might be wrong, but I think the very vast majority of the time Nick Kroll is on, if not every single time, he does Chupacabra. Usually his call is from a baby though, the exact same baby every time. This is the first time I remember a goat calling the show. At first I got pretty annoyed with Chupacabra, but he has grown on me.

I've discovered, Re: The Len Malton game, that I can usually guess in 0 or negative names for the movies that they sometimes have problems with. Elf was a big one from before (but that was months ago), as soon as they mentioned some black guy doing a voice, I caught it. This week when they said the year of the cross dresser movie and Len's reivew of it, I had it. I'm so pissed I missed when Doug Benson was in Nashville, but I seriously want to hit up one of his shows, even if it's in another city or state and try to get on stage for the game. I got tripped up on BttF 3 though. I had always thought everybody loved it, and even that some people considered it the best of the trilogy. So I was surprised when Doug said he didn't care for it, but otherwise I might have guessed that. Edit: And yeah, I double posted. I win the game.

Birbiglia's part of the newest This American Life is my favorite Birbiglia so far. Also, I absolutly LOVE that podcasts are recognized as such a viable form of media that they now have a circuit. First everybody from The League was on CDR, DLM, The Nerdist, now Mike Birbiglia is doing TAL, CDR and Nerdist. Has it always been like this, at least for established comedians? Or is this new?

CDR was really awesome today. Normally i'm kinda iffy about Andrew Lloyd Webber, but he was hilarious today. And the Would You Rather at the end is easily in the top 5 ever. DLM is also awesome so far. Not a huge Jackass fan, but i'm digging Wee Man.

I've started texting Jah from UYD, but have yet to hear back. I'll squeal and crap if anything i've texted him about ends up on the air. And i've started using UYD lingo. I use "bone down" on a regular basis, and rephrasing questions slighly and repeating them has become hilarious.

I finally started listening to The Podcast Eating Contest, and it was so-so, until episode 3, "Canada", when they all go into this bit of requoting Jurassic Park, but making it sound more Canadian, and I lost it at work. Then my bluetoof headphones died. So the rest will have to wait.

Do they ever stop burping into the microphone on Podcast Eating Contest? It's REALLY nauseating, and the fact that they think it's hilarious almost turns me off from the podcast completely.

Um... Ethan Suplee just LIED on DLM... They were talking about his scene in Mallrats when he was looking at the magic eye poster, and Doug asked if he could actually see it. Ethan said he could, and that it actually WAS a sailboat. But, on the DVD, you can pause it and plainly see that it is just a few random shapes. LIAR, ETHAN. LIAR.

A PRIZED MULE! posted:Re: The Podcast Eating Contest The "thing" is neither funny nor endearing. It's annoying and infantile. If I was sitting around with one of my friends and they burped, sure, it wouldn't be a big deal, but if they continually burped, over and over and over again, and then continued to burp despite people saying that it was annoying and stupid, then yes, I would leave. And I can see the humor in watching somebody get worked up over something stupid like that, but only when I am the audience to somebody else getting worked up, not when that person is ME. If they want to have a successful podcast, then they shouldn't intentionally keep doing that ONE thing that is stopping listeners from listening to their podcast. Because, were it not for that, I would listen. Every week. I would donate money, I would recommend them to friends, I would proudly wear a PEC t-shirt. But they insist on keeping that one completely retarded aspect of the show, that provides no humor or entertainment value to anybody but themselves and a few other choice people who get some kind of weird pleasure out of imagining other listeners getting grossed out. If they want to make a podcast that appeals only to the three of them, then they are succeeding valiantly, but I can't imagine them ever building up a sizable, serious fanbase that would ever see them as more than, at most, a novelty act.

DLM this week was pretty good, but it had the hosts of the all new Earwolf podcasts, which i've downloaded and begun listening to. So far i've heard both episodes of 'Who Charted?', a roundtable discussion of the top five songs, movies, tv shows, etc. on the charts. Very very funny so far. Nobody super recognizable so far, though, but I'm liking it a lot. "Horcruxes are not people. Oh Howard, you have much to learn." Kumail Nanjiani is especially funny. webster876 fucked around with this message at 18:14 on Dec 17, 2010 |

In the new UYD, after Jonathan mentioned AGAIN that he doesn't have a TV, I texted him regarding such (This was my third or fourth time texting him over the months, never gotten a response before). "Hey, you don't quite mention enough on uyd whether or not you own a television. Can you please clarify, so we all know for sure whether or not you have a tv?" And a few minutes later, he responded! "Hahahah eat a dick" Love UYD so much.
