JethroMcB posted:I would also accept Daly just flouting improv rules and shutting down attempts at that direction in the future. "No, But" anything related to murder cults. He did do that this time, they kept leading him down the suicide path and he kept "No But"-ing them. I love Andy Daly and I love where Jason leads his characters, it's always funny to me. I'm sure it will get boring at some point, but so far Andy is still one of my favorite guests, in large part because of the crazy satanist/murder/suicide stuff.

I stopped listening when Daniel Kinno stopped being the co-host, Todd is just a bit too much sometimes and it gets uncomfortable for me. I love the guy but he really has some control issues. Restarting a bit when everyone is tense is no fun. It was one of my favorites too early on.

Help Im Alive posted:I think Scott really loves doing that kind of bigger storyline thing (like that whole good vs evil golly thing they did) but yeah I'm not really into it I did enjoy it, but I'm ok if they don't keep doing it. The Wompler stuff is really the only ongoing character stuff that I'm a bit burned out on. I really loved Betsy Sodaro though, she was great this episode, I wish they had focused more on her during the episode.

abraham linksys posted:isn't the answer to this usually to put episodes and not shows behind a paywall? MaxFun has a bunch of bonus content behind a paywall, and sites like Giant Bomb will have premium streams and VODs and podcasts that build on their basic podcast. Like if you just put all of CBB's Thursday shows and live shows behind a paywall I feel like you'd have a ton of people signing up Doesn't MaxFun also hold donation drives? It's very NPR style, they probably aren't making (or hoping to make) what ear wolf is. I think having an option for people like me who hate ads and want a way to donate while also receiving bonuses is great. Also they should really advertise and put more focus on all the included comedy albums and other content. My only problem right now is the lack of fully ad free content, they should also do stuff like other subscription services do (marvel unlimited etc.) and send out a little package of goodies about once a year. Also I dislike the app, they need to add a queue and other useful features, they should partner with a company like beyond pod.

VagueRant posted:Also legit cracked up at Matt Gourley's surprised "oh I love you too" It's good if you're a fan of Jemaine Clement, I think he's great and so far the podcast is great. It's a radio play, so it's kind of hard to passively listen. Each episode is quite short though so it's not bad during a commute or something when you can just listen.

Mike Hanford introduced a new character, he was the best. They all seemed energized, Scott didn't even complain about not having anything to talk about. I'm sure the 11 year old in the front row helped.

feedmyleg posted:How is the episode otherwise? I mean, it's cool that Bruun is a fan of CBB and all. But he wasn't much of a presence on his previous episodes, and even if he was I don't really need 3 episodes in a year with him. JethroMcB posted:I love Scott's completely arbitrary contempt for Murdoch Mysteries. "So, watch that, it's called Matlock..." "This is a kids' show? This is for dumbshits and kids." I enjoyed the episode, it felt very much like a Scott and Mantzoukas episodes but with Scott playing the Mantzoukas part.

ScentOfAnOtaku posted:I've always enjoyed Dana Carvey, and even in Master of Disguise he has his moments (very few, but his Quint impression is great). The thing is I've always felt like he's another Robin Williams in his comedy style, which made his comment that he always tried to be like him not surprise me at all. He can have some really hilarious jokes and impressions, but the problem is that's about 20% of what he comes up with, and we still have to hear the other 80. Master of disguise was probably the first movie I watched where I realized that movies could be bad. I used to enjoy everything, but this movie essentially taught me that people that you like can do things that are not good.

Darkman Fanpage posted:It seems to me like the George and Gil characters have gotten a little stale. At least that is my impression of the latest stuff I've seen and heard of them. Back when they first appeared on CBB and the Kroll Show they were a lot funnier and had better patter. I wasn't a fan of those characters to begin with, I never understood what was so great about them, even on Kroll Show they felt pretty directionless and boring. I think they just like playing those characters, which is fine, just not my cup of tea I suppose. I agree, the penultimate character for Kroll is the 9/11 firefighter run off pussy guy.

VagueRant posted:Slightly broad question for the thread, how are all of the things that our well-liked improvvers have been plugging on all the podcasts lately? I'm not really a fan of the whole make fun of reality shows by doing a reality show thing. There's a fine line between satire and just doing the thing that's annoying and not funny, I probably have a much lower threshold for that kind of thing than comedians though. Lots of the comedians on the show have talked on podcasts about how they watch the real shows they're parodying. I enjoy Cameron and Rhea as guests on podcasts, but I'm not really a fan of their comedy. I feel like Take my wife is a show about two insecure people trying to make it in comedy, which I'm sure is how a lot of comedians feel. But it just makes me annoyed, I keep thinking "just ignore social media/strangers/etc. and do what makes you happy". I'll watch/listen to them on harmontown or CBB any time though. Haven't seen the Birbiglia thing, but if it's anything like sleepwalk with me I'm probably going to pass. I love him on orange is the new black though, and his story is interesting, he just seems depressed and that makes me feel sad. To be fair to all these things, I only watched the first couple eps, so maybe that was just how it starts and goes in a different direction, but I doubt it.

el_caballo posted:Hey what is the go-to podcast app on iOS these days? I've used Downcast for years but it's getting really buggy and the latest version seems like it's about 6 months overdue. I know Overcast is free with a $10(!) subscription but I'm not sure what that adds exactly and there's Pocket Casts, which I've never used. Overcast claims low-battery usage cuz their server handles the RSS refreshing but maybe that's a Premium feature, not sure if Pocket Casts has the central server thing. I started using Pocket Casts a couple months ago, simple interface and syncs between devices, I dig it so far.

Franchescanado posted:Same. It affected me pretty deeply, probably because I write and do art and comedy and he was a shining example of making things work and just trying because just getting people to laugh is good enough. His death really affected me too, I don't really know why other than we're around the same age and he was so involved with so many things I enjoy. I guess I just looked up to him as a great comedy person but also as someone that shared a similar world view as mine. Do what makes you happy and enjoy life, there's no secret, motherfuckers just want to laugh.
