Tig Notaro is a pioneer proving that you you don't need to "tell jokes" or "be funny" in order to be a comedian.

This was from last week, but I just listened to it and wanted to agree. I thought the first two were ok, but not that great. The addition of Adam Scott made the difference.

WoG posted:Just listened to it, and boy, I do not get the love in here for Paul. I like his stand-up alright, but take his written material away and he's got nothing. I think he chimed in all of twice in that whole hour, and then only to clarify some point of order for the old guys. Even if this isn't a troll, it just sounds too trolly to inspire any real annoyance. It's like I'm enjoying a fine Belgian beer and WoG here just told me I'm going to lose my man card because I'm not drinking Miller Lite.

Scott just lets people talk over the "Would you rather?" theme song now without saying anything. He really needs to step it up before he completely loses control of the show.Teenage Fansub posted:Am I alone in not being able to stand Greg Proops? I remember some people hyping his podcast back when the RDF forum was first getting started, but I thought it was pretty bad. I'm curious about his gay tone and mannerisms. He's supposedly straight but I guess he's from San Francisco? Is that like when an American moves to Ireland for a few years and comes back with a brogue?

Popelmon posted:You should give "The Flophouse" a shot. It is made by a Daily Show writer and his buddies and they discuss potentially bad movies. But they don't go for the low hanging fruits like "How did this get made" does. I second this, especially if you like "How did this get made?" because the Flophouse is much better.

At the very least, an Earwolf Presents: Womp Up The Jams would be incredible. Either I must have missed some Jessica St. Clair episodes or she gets a hell of a lot of mileage out of one mildly humorous appearance back when it was still called Comedy Death Ray.

plastered quack posted:What about Amazon? CBB is also available there. I tried googling info about it being US restricted but couldn't find anything solid. That's how I'm getting it, but I'm not outside of the US. I didn't see it on any of the Amazon menus (using a Roku) but it came up when I searched on it. It's $1.99 an episode, $2.99 for HD. I was just going to buy the whole season, but you only save 5% an episode according to the Amazon website and I guess it just keeps billing you for each episode individually rather than let you buy the whole season at once.

Victorkm posted:Am I alone in not loving Nick Kroll? I love him on the league and I like him not in a character, and I even like Bobby B and Fabrice to an extent. Unfortunately I found his special on Netflix nearly unwatchable, and I tune out every time he does Chupacabra and subcharacters. I like Kroll. He's really good on The League. I loved Chupacabra, but he's got a lot of Chupacabra bits that he seems to repeat over and over rather than doing improv. I never really liked the Bobby B. and Fabrice characters. I agree that his stand-up special on Netflix was really bad.

Does anyone do a flamboyantly gay character that is actually funny? I guess it's a sign of the somewhat more enlightened times we live in, but exaggerated gay characters now feel as awkward as a 1970s black guy imitation.

Beeez posted:I wholeheartedly agree with this. I like every PFT character, but it seems like he does Cake Boss, the worst one, most while doing the best ones, Ice-T and Werner Herzog, very little. I disagree. The Ice-T character has no depth and is just a lisp. His product ideas are stupid and too obvious to be funny. It's like he takes them from rejected Foam Corner ideas. Cake Boss (cake boss) is one of my favorite characters. He has the gift of the second sight for chrissakes! He can take that anywhere!

Zsinjeh posted:Watching this on video was a billion times more amazing with Jon Daly, holy poo poo was he drunk but amazingly hilarious so. Fingerguns at the camera and winks You either get it or you don't. Some people think that Heidecker's anti-comedy (or purposely being unfunny to us laymen) is hilarious. I don't get it either. I find it kind of odd he seems to have fallen in with the UCB crowd. Isn't his schtick kind of incongruous with improvisational comedy? I think I'd tolerate it better if it was one thing he did, like one character out of a host of characters he was able to do. But as far as I've seen, he's a one-trick pony. He's a comedian who pretty much has one bit: "the not funny at all guy". But, as I already admitted, I don't get it. So maybe it's just me and almost everyone else who is wrong. It was awesome having such a forceful presence as Bill Cosby Bukowski on at the same time so Heidecker couldn't ruin the show again.

Conduit for Sale! posted:Yeah the Amy Poehler episode was clearly the pilot, because for one clips of it were up on IFC months and months before anything else, and for two he introduced the premise of the show. In the Zach Galifianakis episode they started with the "we went to a sunglasses store and bought ibuprofen" joke. Which is a weird way to start a series. Yeah, that opening bit was a little awkward, but I laughed my rear end off at "We'll be right bark" and also when Scott was naming all the dead fat comedians. I agree with epitasis that it would be better classified as "off-beat" than "anti-comedy". Maybe I don't understand the definitions correctly, but I consider "anti-comedy" to be when the joke is that the performer is trying not to be funny, often aggressively. I don't usually enjoy this style. For CBB TV I think you just need to be in the mood for goofy humor, or have the appropriate number of bong hits in you.
