WoodrowSkillson posted:Is this a joke or am I missing some double podcast release? Christmas came early! "The Christmas Womptacular" was released under the "Earwolf Presents" banner, along with this week's CBB's normal Holiday Spectacular. I want to listen to both ASAP but figure I may be better off waiting until I'm out of the office and can laugh freely.

Politicalrancor posted:I know this is way off topic but I think my favorite line of this year was That may have been the highlight of Farts & Pro 2 for me. Adam Scott puts just the right amount of frustration into his voice as his argument goes on. "If you do jumping jacks, in a cold room, YOU WILL GAIN WEIGHT."

Farts & Pro 2 paled in comparison to the original, but it's still a pretty strong installment on its own merits. I wouldn't rank it as #2, but it's definitely in my top ten. It gave us Harris Wittels saying "You gotta keep it fresh to death in the after-after" and that's gotta be worth something.

Mr. Squishy posted:I'm still amazed Series Regulars crept in at number 10. How on earth does that not crack the top 3. "Hand me that scooper." I'm also amazed that episode just made the cut. Kroll and Mulaney take "Yes, and" to such extremes here, it's almost tiring to keep up. Even when one of them tries a joke that doesn't quite land, the other runs with it and 30 seconds later they're on an entirely new topic of conversation. "See, we were smoking PCP...before we knew there could be problems."

NienNunb posted:Speaking of wanting to hear underused characters, I miss Huell Howser. Seems kind of weird that one of the more famous CBB characters doesn't get used often. Although it doesn't matter much because any James Adomian character ends up being gold. I think you mean any James Adomian character ends up being just another part of...CALIFORNIA'S GOLD. I'm guessing that a lot of the characters get cycled out when the performers don't feel like they're doing anything new, to keep them from growing stale for the audience as well as themselves. In the case of Lil' Gary, though, I imagine it's 95% because Thomas Lennon doesn't like doing that voice. High pitched and scratchy? It must be hell on the throat.

Like pretty much every CBB listener who doesn't hail from California, I only learned about Huell Howser from Adomian's impression. What's really scary is tracking down some California's Gold clips and finding out the character isn't that far off the mark. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l99Ek4YtTuw He'll forever be remembered as...California's Gold!

James Adomian has written an article about Huell Howser's life, his status as a California icon, and an unexpected phone call from the man himself.James Adomian posted:I was at party when I got a call from a blocked number. A voice on the phone asked, "Is this James?" and I asked who was calling - and his answer came booming back enthusiastically: "This is Huell Howser! I heard you been doin' an impression of me on the internet!"

Chupacabra's appearances on the final season of Reno 911 remain the character's high point for me. El Cupacabra: To the Spanish people of Reno: If you see a black police officer, they will give you their guns para to shoot the white man! Dept. Jones: We don't want to kill the white people. El Cupacabra: Ahh, but we can agree on one thing: Crush those gays.

Deadpool posted:Haha, Daly is amazing in this episode. I don't know if he's hosed up or what, but whatever he's doing it's magical. Whatever he's on, I appreciate his commitment. Dr. Bill Cosby Bukowski is a character worthy of method acting if ever there were one.

NotWearingPants posted:And, drat that is a catchy song: http://youtu.be/FvdBGauCpn0 I'm surprised I'm not hearing it in car commercials by now. Seriously, "Once in a While" just seems like it should have been co-opted for some entry level sedan or fast casual dining restaurant at this point. Maybe it's the whole male-singing-as-female thing. Overall, Don't Stop or We'll Die's songs are insanely catchy. It took me a while to realize that every time I'd hear one in passing on CBB it would be stuck in my head for days afterwards. "Why the hell am I walking around my kitchen singing about shrooms?"

SpacePig posted:However, I will say that I genuinely thought Phillips' Silverman was the real deal at first, and probably would've for most of the episode if I hadn't taken a look at the guest list. Yeah, I tuned in to the live stream last Thursday and only made it about 30 seconds before I gave up due to the latency problems, but on first glance I was really confused. "That doesn't look like Sarah Silverman...but it kinda does?...and it SOUNDS like her...doing an impression of herself, what the hell?"

In a very, very funny episode, Harris was my favorite part (Even more than the food poisoning scene.) "I'd like to talk about that topless park idea that a local hero brought up."

Cracks me up every time. I appreciate how committed Scott is to throwing it out there when a guest doesn't catch it. I remain convinced that this Bob's Burgers bit was born out of CBB's running joke. Lots of shared personalities, must be true, right?  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6l23JsoTbT4

The live episode from SXSW just wrapped up, anyone else watch it? Tim Heidecker was in full-on anti-comedy mode, which I usually like or can at least put up with, but he was just obnoxious this time. Everything else was pretty funny, especially Sarah Silverman's high-five whole room victory lap and the vicious barbs directed at Mountain Dew Kickstart as the on-screen "sponsored by" graphics were up (and the continued thrashing of it for the rest of the segment. "And this one that I'm drinking is five percent juice, which, as far as juices go? Pretty good.")

Power of Pecota posted:Outside of the not playing Would You Rather thing, I thought Tim was funny - the diaper and snuff film bits worked for me. I did forget about the Jish/snuff film business stuff, that was really funny. His complete stonewalling and the way he shot down other peoples' questions/jokes during WYR rubbed me the wrong way though.

The Choctaw is just a huge nerd all around - there's a lot of little things over the course of the show that have made me think "But Scott Auckerman is a Successful Adult, why would he know about the awful nerd poo poo that I do?" The thing that really clued me in was when a guest mentioned playing a game on XBox Live and Scott immediately asked what their "GamerTag" was. Using the Marketing Department-mandated nomenclature was a pretty strong indication that he had more than a passing familiarity with the product.

Conduit for Sale! posted:Does anyone remember what episode(s) has Aukerman and someone else doing dueling Jimmy Stewarts? Or dueling anything, but especially Jimmy Stewart. Dueling Jimmy Stewarts was great, but I like Dueling Entourage Woody Allens even more. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9DOGb7WIvk4 "What's going on with the Murphy Group?" Followed by the greatest truism about Entourage ever uttered: Andy Samberg: Everyone watched every episode of that show. Scott: And we didn't like a single one!

Trujillo posted:But if you do listen to all the Andy Daly episodes (which is a great way to get into the show) make sure to listen to his last two appearances last. There's a huge payoff that you won't understand if you start with the newer ones and work backwards. I listened to the Dalton Wilcox episode very early in discovering CBB, having heard just one previous Andy Daly appearance. It was still just about the funniest thing I had ever heard.

Politicalrancor posted:You Must Buy Your Wife At Least As Much Jewelry As You Buy Your Horse And Other Poems and Observations, Humorous and Otherwise, From a Life On the Range CBB has been suffering from a lack of Andy Daly since then - a 52 episode gap between appearances! I'm looking forward to his Comedy Central series, if just because I know he'll make the rounds on the podcast circuit to do promotion.

Mordecai Sanchez posted:I like both Jerrod and Horatio but I thought it was a little lackluster. Notice how Scott had to ask Jerrod in a not-so-joking way if he was going to talk this time around. They definitely need more than one other guest when he's on. To be fair, Jerrod's only got one previous appearance under his belt (With Wompler as "guest host," no less,) and I feel like people unfamiliar with the show may be expecting a more standard talk show style where their unprompted quips aren't welcome. Unrelated, but I can't get enough of the My Wife Supercut. "Carson Borat. My favorite character."
