The_Rob posted:Hot topics cracks me the gently caress up. I love how Scott insists to not talk about the actual topic, but about what whoopie asks. Yeah, this week's was the first time I'd heard Hot Topics, and if that's a bad example of it being played, I'll have to look for another episode with it because it was great. What Am I Thinking was pretty good, too, but I definitely feel it would be funnier with some other people, or perhaps someone playing a character.

FitFortDanga posted:I wonder if most goons are too young to appreciate a Garry Marshall impression. I know who he is, and watched alot of his shows on Nick at Nite when I was a kid though I can't say I know his voice. I didn't dislike the epsiode, but Garry Marshall is probably my least favorite of PFT's characters. He just doesn't have as much going on as, say, Cake Boss or Ice-T.

The Garry Marshall character is definitely a good one in the context of The Great Undiscovered Project, but I just don't think it worked in this week's CBB. It wasn't bad, but I got excited when I saw PFT was on, and left a bit disappointed.

indigi posted:I loved Herzog not because of anything in particular that PFT did with him, but because he was constantly making Zach giggle like a little girl, which I found to be delightful and entertaining. I didn't care much for Herzog on the Pod F. Tompkast but hey, not everything can be a home run. Also I love Mr. Gary. Yeah, listening to Zach laugh at him constantly was pretty great. I get the feeling that Werner might evolve into a better character if given some time, though. There's not a single PFT character that I dislike, even if some are a bit weaker than others.

I normally really like Swardson, but he was pretty insufferable on this week's episode. Not everything is cocks and balls, Nick! Go back to making grandma jokes! Or come on the show as Gay Robot. That jsut gave me an idea: Have an episode with Nick as Gay Robot, Chelsea as Vegeterian Robot, Tig as Good One Robot, and Adam Scott as Persephone. All robot show.

Davincie posted:I don't listen to the show very often but I found all of the characters hilarious that week. I don't know, maybe the so awful its good characters just appeal to me. That or Adam Scott since I find everything I've heard of him funny as well. I think it's Adam Scott. I think the only funny aprts of Chelsea's bits were when he and Harris started trying to get her to do more. Adam's deadpan reaction to everything was perfect. I don't dislike Chelsea, though. I just think she may have been high or something

I felt bad about this week's epsiode because I really like Nick Swardson's stand-up, but him being there really added nothing to the show until Paul Scheer showed up, and even then, it was just more dick jokes. I honestly think he should just come up with a character to play next time he's on, or just come on as Gay Robot, because him being him just does not work in this format.

The_Rob posted:Swardson was fine. His whole thing in stand up is that he is a frat boy dumb guy. That has always been his thing.Dick and cum jokes are funny too. I love his stand up, honestly, but like Blackula said, he didn't really get funny in this until Paul came in. He was by no means an afwul guest, but he just didn't seem to work out well by himself. The Capm posted:Swardson's first appearance on CDR is totally amazing. Maybe what was at work this time was that his first starring role in a film was a total bomb that was universally hated? Maybe he's just not on his game. I'll have to check this out, then. I was legitimately excited to see his name in the billing this week, so maybe this one'll be better.

That wasn't a bad episode, but Hank Williams Jr. wasn't that great of a character. I was just excited to have Harris back on already. I stopped just before the rap battle so I wouldn't have to listen to only part of it, and I can't wait for it.

I like "Who Said It?" if only because the song makes me laugh every god drat time. I know it's coming, but it's still funny. How is the Christmas album he keeps pushing? I only started listening to this in the last few months, so I didn't even know there were Christmas songs.

I only started listening a couple of months ago, so I don't know if I'm a good judge, but I would definitely rank Farts and Procreation at the top of my list. It's seriously one of the funniest things I have ever listened to, CBB or otherwise.

Eltoasto posted:Well that was a pretty terrible character. Good impression but nothing funny, thankfully Ben Schwartz was there to keep things moving. Yeah, it was a good impression of her, and I was expecting it to go places, but she didn't really do anything. Whatever, it wasn't a bad episode overall. I like Kevin Nealon, and Ben Schwartz is such a goofball that it's hard for me to dislike anything he's a part of. It could've been a much worse episode than it was if not for those two.

Blackula69 posted:Oh poo poo, that means you haven't heard iBrain Blackula69 posted:iBrain trip report, please. That whole episode is just beyond funny I had heard iBrain in the Best of 2010 episode, and it was pretty amazing. I had honestly forgotten what it was until I went to listen to this episode in full while I went through the mall yesterday. I had to walk out of a couple of stores because I was laughing too hard at this story, and almost had to sit down a few times. The Li'l Gary bit was pretty funny, I guess it jsut comes down to that, outside of Rap Battle, I don't really like songs by characters. I dunno. The Christian Community whatever guy was alright, I guess, but again, I don't really like songs by characters. Like, I tend to fast forward through the songs they play in the first place, so having a character song in there just doesn't appeal to me.

I can't listen just yet since I'm at work, but can you spoil for me whether Farts and Procreation is in the top five? This is important, and me listening to this episode in a timely manner hinges pretty exclusively on this.

Thanks to this show, I can't hear "Wake Me Up Before you Go-Go" without laughing anymore after "Jitterbuggin'". This really shouldn't be a problem, but it's on the radio station that play at my work, so I ehar it all of the time. It killed me when they started singing it in the Best Of episode. It was honestly one of my favorite moments of the year.

"Boy, that Paul F. Tompkins guy wasn't very funny, but Gary Marshall and Dame Sir Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber were a hoot!" In other podcast news, I think Improv4Humans needs to be shorter or something. It's still funny, but I end up not listening to the whole thing because I get bored of it. I think, though, that making it shorter would take out some of the riffing and storytelling they do, and that would be a blow to its entertainment value, so I don't know what the solution is. Also, how often is SuperEgo released? It seems like as soon as I started listening, they stopped producing episodes. e: Oh no, I just realized this is the Comedy Bang Bang thread, and not the Comedy Podcast General thread! Sorry!

I feel like she'd like it - she loves adam scott and even the bit of wonder showzen that I showed her - but it's hard to pick an entry point. If she likes Adam Scott, then the obvious entry point should be Farts and Procreation. Even if she doesn't like Adam Scott, it should be that.
