feedmyleg posted:Then you must have loved the 20 episodes centered around his love for the trumpet guy. I actually did like it until he called him in to give advice. It seemed like he was just having him on to spite the people who didn't like him as much as Besser thought they should. Besser has this attitude about his own opinions that I just plain don't like, and hearing those opinions met with confusion, or better yet negativity or silence, is a pretty decent source of entertainment for me.

feedmyleg posted:I feel like Spontaneanation has really hit its stride the past month or two. The narratives are much more coherent, and the sound effects finally feel well utilized. They're acting kind of like Family Guy cutaways these days, but plot-driven rather than hacky gag-driven. I honestly think it all changed when the proper sound board was built. Having a physical thing to press instead of having to press a thing on a screen makes a big difference, and now that the main players are set with how the buttons all work, everything flows a bit better.

He doesn't need to explain it to you guys. It should be self evident to anyone with half a brain, obviously. e: I still laugh at that live show bit where they played a clip from a pretty reasonable Bernie supporter, and Besser is like "Can you loving believe this guy? What the gently caress?", and the audience doesn't react at all.

Not Operator posted:It was back during the video podcast network days, and my only clear memory of it is an uncomfortable Lauren Lapkus side-staring at the camera like she's doing a guest spot on The Office. Was that the time that he suggest that it'd be OK if he had his pants down, hands in the air, and peanut butter on his dick, since the dog wouldn't necessarily be performing a sex act since he's just eating peanut butter? Because that's probably the hardest I've ever laughed at a thing in my life, and I might have to watch that again.

If the guests are right, and the musicians don't give a poo poo about you making fun of something in their song, then music episodes aren't too bad. It only gets bad when Besser has them play a song for every scene, which I don't think he's done the last few. Constantly asking what lyrics mean isn't particularly productive, and the guy on the most recent one who was like "It's just a song about being high at the Casa Mañana" was the best. I just wish he would get more than just mopey alt-country guys.

It kind of reminds me of the reports I heard from Howl users. Content is good, service is bad, app is sort of difficult to navigate. I guess maybe I'm too used to Netflix and Hulu's streamlining, but Seeso's menu system always seemed a bit obtuse for me. So far, I've only used it to watch MBMBaM and Harmonquest, so I'll probably have to get around to watching Bajillion soon before the site goes away.

To be fair to them, I'm not sure how much of that is in their hands. They probably have the right to distribute their own content however they see fit, but because it had things like Kids in the Hall and Monty Python on it, they probably really had their hands tied as to what regions they could be available in without having different sites dedicated to different regions. Which why would they if they didn't know if it would succeed? e: Not saying it's necessarily right, just that they're not necessarily purposefully being dicks.

It took me way longer to get through Harmonquest than it should've because it just wouldn't play a few episodes when I tried the first time. I'd come back a few hours later to try again, and get an episode or 2 in before it decided to stop working again.

I hadn't heard of Feral before, and it seems pretty cool. Seems like what Earwolf was intended to be/used to be. Like, I can't believe I just found out that there's a podcast hosted by Pete & Pete. I'd imagine there's a bit more freedom there since it seems like a good number of the shows are entirely creator produced.

Mr. Squishy posted:He didn't get on w/ Eric Ulrich and I think had the same objection to the standard contract Earwolf uses that Cyberthug had (whose actual name I forget). Namely that any characters created on the show were then owned by Earwolf. It's why their tagline as a studio is "Artist owned, listener supported". Isn't Artist Owned, Listener Supported the MaxFun tagline? And yeah, I remember the Earwolf character thing being mentioned before, and that's why some shows either left or avoided them entirely. It's probably why Spont and I4H work so well on there, since nothing is a recurring character on those shows.

Think Scott very passively made a joke about this, and I honestly can't remember what bit it was during. He very sheepishly says that he and his wife are trying, and failing, to conceive, and he's talked right over by whatever character is on. I can't believe that was real. e: Might've been during Jack S'Junior/Brian Pieces when they asked whether he had a family. Could arguable have been a joke that long ago, I guess, but still.

I stopped listening to I4H regularly after the, like, 3rd or 4th time he had that trumpet yelling guy on, and then I think had a Case Closed in the same episode, or for a majority of the next or something. So much of the show became filled with stuff that wasn't improv that I couldn't be bothered anymore. And I'm a guy who didn't mind the music episodes.crimedog posted:"Pineapple" Improv This is probably my 2nd favorite after the Atlantis one.

Tarranon posted:That's funny, spont lost me when they cut the improv down to like fifteen minutes. I really enjoyed how insane the longer ones got, especially science fair and miami...and anything else with blasucc See, your 2nd point was my thing with Spont. There are a small handful of people that are absolutely excellent on the show, like Blasucc, Amanda Lund, Little Janet Varney, Colleen Smi, etc... and there was no consistency to the genuinely good people appearing. I listened for the first time in about a month this week because of Blasucc and Lund, and I don't think I've laughed as hard at anything in the show as at the conversation about dreams, and the improv itself wasn't bad, but probably could've used a 4th. Spont's still one of my top podcasts, but it falls back in priority now that I don't have a free hour every day to dedicate to them.

Seaniqua posted:I'd just heard that Brooklyn 99 got better in later seasons. I don't watch it, I was just saying that Fox might let Ghosted stick around even if the early episodes aren't great. B99 is like Shur's other shows in that it takes about 5 episodes for it to get any good. It's worth checking out if you can put up with Samberg's early bad character work. Ghosted seems like it might be OK, because it's got Scott (2) and Craig Robinson in it, so unless it's expensive to make, it's probably going to get a decent chance to show itself off.

Also, I tried to listen to the 2nd episode of Raised by TV, since I know more cartoons from that time than I do sitcoms, and from the start is was basically them just listening to and singing cartoon theme songs. I turned it off once Lapkus started singing the Tiny Toons theme. Does it get better from there, or should I just not bother?

Analytic Engine posted:I love raised by TV, but I was an ADHD kid who watched 4-8 hours every weekday and remembered+repeated tons of specific details. If you don’t get a small physical rush hearing them “oh-my-god-do-you-remember” about tangential topics then this podcast will make no sense. I also watched a shitload of TV, and specifically cartoons, and could not make it more than a few minutes into their episode about cartoons. They just started listening to and singing theme songs. Like, I knew the songs and the words and all, but hearing Lapkus sing them wasn't really entertaining. Maybe it got better later, but I really couldn't listen to it anymore.
