Fil5000 posted:As an aside, Keeping Up Appearances is generally not that well regarded in the UK, except perhaps for the elderly and the mentally ill. That said, at least it's not My Hero. I've heard as much before. It's an old show, but it can be funny. It aired on public broadcasting here until a couple of years ago. They may still play it from time to time. e: I've never heard of "My Hero".

Mr. Squishy posted:Don't bother looking it up. No worries. Nobody in America would say that either. I think it was a nod to Martin Lawrence since "Hot Fuzz" features a lot about "Bad Boys". Or it could be a total fluke.

This is only kind of tangentially related to the podcast comedy scene and will only make sense to people who know mid 90's hardcore, but my mind was blown when I learned that Eric Wareheim (of "Tim & Eric) played bass for the band "Ink & Dagger"

The pHo posted:No, that was great. Glad to hear that the film is just as accessible in foreign markets as well as domestic. Thanks, mate!  Although be reminded that middle-America isn't usually as savvy (I said USUALLY, I'm not generalizing. I lived in and loved Wisconsin) as the more metropolitan coastal cities. I too hope he makes some money on the film. Also, Edgar Wright is a badass.Might sound sappy, but I really do appreciate these interactions. When I was a kid, the chances of me discussing a foreign film with someone living in the country of origin was almost nil.

Binowru posted:Anyone else kind of disappointed by the Lavender Hour? I expected it to be funny, because Duncan and Natasha are both really funny stand-ups, but so far it's a lot of crap about how America sucks and being vegan is great. I essentially only know Duncan from "Drunk History" and Rogan's/DEATHSQUAD's podcasts, with some other appearances sprinkled in. I haven't really heard his stand up. In my mind I think of him more as a "bizarre thinker/weird spiritualist" than a comedian. But, that is to say, I like him generally.

DrVenkman posted:I kind of agree on DLM now. I used to love it, but Doug's strict adherence to THERE MUST BE A GAME NOW gets annoying, particularly if it spoils the flow of an episode (Which it sometimes does). A lot of the time it seems like Doug just can't wait to get to the game. The TJ Miller Vs The World episode was amazing because of how angry Doug gets that TJ keeps making GBS threads on the game. Honestly? It's not even that good a game. Unfortunately, it is HIS show and HIS game that he wants to play. Maybe email him or hit him up on Twitter and ask him to change his entire show that a bunch of people come to see live and thousands more get on iTunes and see if he wants to switch it up for you.

bango skank posted:Well according to him during an appearance on the Joe Rogan podcast, he doesn't see himself as the 'pot comic'. No, he's just a regular comic who just happens to be stoned 24/7, makes documentaries about pot, and has large chunks of his material dedicated to the subject. I still like him and all, but my opinion of him did dip a bit after seeing that show. I like Doug and think the best bits he has are non pot-related. For me it kind of sucks that he's known as a "pot comic", but he's done it to himself so it can't be helped. I'd like to know the whole story about him and his mom, his taking care of her. It gets alluded to a lot. but he shies away from discussing it.

"Teepkick Shakur" RE: Greg Proops posted:"I am heterosexual but I make no case for it". Also "I know what the gently caress I sound like, OKAY?" I loving LOVE Greg, and I get where people are coming from when they say he sounds gay, but I think he just has a weird Valley Accent (which was personified by girls in the eighties), mixed with the fact that he's kind of old, mixed with the fact that he speaks in really flowery elocution. I could listen to that guy ramble on for hours. I get bummed out when they get to "question time" because I know the show's over soon.

Riptor posted:Goddammit Jonathan, no sorry, you don't understand karma better than a bunch of Hindus Oh God, I wish sometimes he'd just leave things alone. When he was reading from Wikipedia or whatever and kept saying "casualty" instead of obviously "causality" I was really embarrassed for him. More and more I think Seth just sits there and lets Jonathan dig himself into a hole when he starts talking about something as if he's an authority on the topic that he doesn't know anything about.

ElCondemn posted:I grew up in Arizona where there are a lot of legal and illegal immigrants, I now live in Seattle. Seattle doesn't have an excess of Mexicans Check out South Park! (the neighborhood south of Downtown Seattle, not the TV show, for non-Seattlites) But seriously, just because Carolla's rants on everyone who's not a straight white male are "well thought out" doesn't mean he isn't a douchebag. He's the guy at the bar spouting off racist jokes and slapping you on the back saying "AM I RIGHT!!??". In a world full of morons somehow grumpy old man Adam Carolla just has everything figured out. His talent is to be able to speak in such a way that it rallies like-minded people to his side. While that's an admirable talent, and he can be funny, and he's not always completely wrong, at the end of the day when you're swinging a hammer hanging drywall coaching boxing working on cars he's still kind of an rear end in a top hat.

Yoshifan823 posted:I'm listening to the 200th episode of WTF (which is awesome, Birbiglia is a great interviewer as well, and I really want to check his comedy out now), and it kinda scares me how much I relate to Maron. Aside from "joke, joke, joke", he's an awesome storyteller. A great one is about him developing and adult-onset psycho-chemical imbalance in which his brain doesn't flood his body with a natural sedative while he's in REM sleep (like most everyone). So imagine dreaming, but your body also acting out physically what you're experiencing in your dreams. He has a book (and maybe DVD/CD?) about it called "Sleepwalk With Me". e: Found it - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MU2KRBh1MOA

Flying-Chip posted:The Earwolf Challenge is probably the dullest podcast I've ever listened to. A lovely concept with an apathetic host who makes me want to kill myself. Whoa! Are you me!? In the past couple of days I tried to get through The Earwolf Challenge and it was the most dull, laborious, hypocritical thing I've heard. I like Matt Besser and all, but he seems super bored and says the stupidest poo poo regarding the shows. I don't blame him, because what the gently caress does he know about a podcast? Pardo was at least honest and genuine and tried to keep it funny. It's a bummer because I think the "Earwolf Empire" is getting a bit full of themselves. I blame Jeff. Meanwhile, shows like The Podcast Eating Contest are just doing whatever they want regardless of who likes it or not, which is how it should be done, instead of trying to shoehorn your show into a format that Earwolf deems acceptable.

Thelonius Van Funk posted:Jeff went off in the earwolf forums that it's ridiculous to expect the judges to listen to all the podcasts, but honestly, that means that the challenge is a loving stupid idea. I don't frequent the Earwolf forums, but if I did I'd be tempted to respond "Well if it's ridiculous to expect them to listen to the podcasts then it's ridiculous to expect anyone to listen to your loving show, jerk!"

Cromulent posted:Hopefully he hires a producer too so he can get the gently caress rid of Redban. I know it won't happen, but one could hope. Redban was pretty loving disgusting in the recent episode where he was complaining about the movie "I Love You Phillip Morris". I've heard bona fide southern white-trash rednecks be more subtle about their raging homophobia than he sounded. He's a goddamn man-child with the brain of an 11 year-old idiot. Again, he somehow managed to win the lottery and fall rear end-backwards into his gig with Rogan and seemingly has never had to have any personal responsibility or exist on his own two feet ever.

ElCondemn posted:I think you may have missed the part where Joe and the guest were also expressing their disgust at the idea of seeing dudes kiss... No, I totally agree that Rogan said some iffy poo poo, but it was a lot more benign than Brian going loving crazy over it. In particular the "I pretended to be asleep so my girlfriend didn't think I was gay!" was bizarre. As connected to the porn business as he claims to be you'd think he'd be more tolerant. I thought the movie was great, and I'm generally not even a fan of Jim Carrey.

ElCondemn posted:It was just such an odd conversation to have, if you don't like it because it's too "gay" then don't watch it. Oh, totally! This sounds weird to say ala "I have lots of black friends!", but I'm pretty down with my local gay community. I can understand "I don't want to watch dudes make out." but it's crazier to act like "I WANTED TO THROW UP I WAS SO DISGUSTED!" Jesus Christ! Get over it. Some dudes want to gently caress dudes. Whatever.

I was kind of pissed at this, and the gall of Auckerman to say on the FREE DLM podcast (as all of them were) that "Yes, the CBB podcasts will all be available for purchase on earwolf.com!" Earwolf is money-grubbing but in the stupidest most vain way. Don't you make enough T-Shirt money? Settle the gently caress down, Jeff.

cioxx posted:The sad thing about Redban is that he's almost pushing 40. I think some of his interruptions would have been funny if this was a teenager just loving around. I wonder of he realizes the clock is ticking and one day he won't be as vital to the enterprise as he is now. I mean, essentially he's only on board because he has rudimentary knowledge of how sound and video recording works. Once everyone realizes how easy it is (or the progression of the technology makes it easier) he'll just be some annoying idiot running around LA. Is his stand up any good? They talk about how he does stand up but I've never seen or heard any evidence of it. He's like a guy that knew basic HTML in 1994 when everyone wanted an online web page on the computer internet network.

Dip Facial posted:I saw him at the Hollywood Improv about a month ago and he was surprisingly good in my opinion. He didn't have much competition because it was basically a "No name comedian" night, but he held his own. Wow! That's cool to hear. Thanks for the report! Is his poo poo genuinely funny or goofy/crass like I imagine it? I guess what I mean is, was it all pussy jokes or something like he chimes in with on the show?
