I think I've listened to the most recent Improv4Humans 3-4 times now, it just slays me. It's a bit faux-pas (I guess?) to break character and laugh, but they do it so much in the background and it absolutely kills me because the scenarios change so often everyone sounds confused.

I already got a buddy into How Did This Get Made, but I'm also trying to get him to watch Birdemic, and I really don't know if he should watch it before he listens to the Birdemic episode or after. I'm leaning towards listening to the podcast first because hearing them trash it just makes me want to watch it again anyways.
I think what worked best for me was watching the Rifftrax version of it, and then How Did This Get Made. Because no matter how fun that episode was, there's no way I could stand watching that movie without help. And Rifftrax usually deliver their jokes in-between sentences so you won't miss precious story that'll help for the podcast.

e: I mean seriously, just those goddamn sequence of him driving is driving(!!!) me up the walls just thinking about it.

The only reason I could see it be made was to be featured on How Did This Get Made. I don't know if they do movies currently in theaters, but I threw it their way over on the forums.

I'm still in schock after seeing that movie, jesus christ.
There is literally a scene where the heroine splashes some water in her face, just to get refreshed and when she looks back up in the mirror A HORRIBLE MONSTER IS BEHIND HER, then she turns around and IT'S NOT ACTUALLY THERE!

Catched up on Totally Laime with Jason, still going with that soundboard apparently.
Despite that, very interesting hearing about his asthma and egg allergy, what a terrifying life being so deathly allergic to something so common.
Also whats the deal with comedians and getting stuck in riptides? PFT and now Jason.


e: Anyone listened to the latest Fogelnest Files? James Urbaniak is a favorite, and Jonah Ray is usually funny as well. Looks like a fun lineup and good it's back to being for a live audience, I thought they scratched that for a while.

Goddamnit, I have to stop listening to Improv4Humans while in bed before sleeping. Crying from laughter is not really sleepytime behavior.
First the Ghost of Edgar Allan Poe and now Ben Schwarts at a live show.

Nerd Poker did not dissapoint! I have no idea how D&D works or how long the games are, but I'm hoping for future comedy guests playing this. I would love to hear the banter and reasoning for their choices in future eps.

Cool to see you here Jeff! Like said before, it's really neat you reached out to a forum outside of your own.

Anywho, I'm listening to the Best of Improv4Humans 2 and laughing all over again to the ghost of Edgar Allan Poe and Eric The Intern at the Beverly Hills polling place.
Would love if Eric got an account here as well, I'd love to see a writeup on how he actually got where he is. He just casually mentioned once that he was from Alaska or Washington originally, signed up for an Improv sketch intern (despite only watching "that one show") and now he's a genius programmer for a facial regocnition software?
I mean, what?!

Although I guess he probably already posts in TCC.

Yea something like that. He's far from a comedy fanboy or anything, he only found out about the internship from a friend who hung out on the Earwolf forums and saw a posting.

They do a hilarious bit on that in the all-Eric I4H episode. Eric as an apathetic confused stoner who becomes president after his buddy tells him to check it out.
Oh wow, completely forgot about that sketch, I'll dive back in.

Regarding the Stamps.com commercials they are hilarious to jump forward through when Scott is voicing them.

Thank you Jeff! This has been a fantastic year for Earwolf and that recent Facebook news about a new big show coming sounds interesting. Got through a tough move and leaving some people behind, and listening to the great shows that came out around Christmas really helped me power through it.

Big thanks to Matt Besser for the Gun Control episode of I4H! Really awesome mix of a nice talk about the horrible incident in CT and managing to get some laughs in the darkness of it.

I don't really like Phish (had never heard of them before this series) but I like the way they're played in the podcast, in small segments until Scott goes "alright alright alright, turn it off I can't take that guys voice anymore". So I wouldn't mind if it keeps going as Analyze Phish instead of Fish

The part where Scott cuts him off every second the song starts because he think it's terrible had me rolling. Especially when Harris gets increasingly agitated and starts apologizing to the band "in case they're listening".


e: Haha, oh man, every song where it's a nice jam and then the second the singer comes on Scott cuts it off. I'm laughing all over again just remembering.

I was just going to say. I never was a real fan of Who Charted before (it always 'just' felt like a regular radio show, talking about charts and music), but it was much more entertaining live.

Did the Fogelnest Files pick up speed after the first couple of episodes? I got put off when it wasn't recorded live with an audience (which it clearly says on the itunes description :argh:) and it just became another show of two people discussing topic X in a studio.

Not sure if Jeff Ulrich still checks this thread, but it would be nice with a clarification on how the schedule works with the VPN and Earwolf setup.

Hey Jeff we had some Q's for you on the previous page. Mostly livestream related, you mind glossing over them real quick and settling some confusion we have? Thanks!

Basically, now that you're starting to get the hang of it, how is the schedule for the various shows in regards to being live and available on earwolf?
Does the wait between live on VPN and available on Earwolf have to be so long? The latest I4H is coming up on a week now, I don't think I can manage withdrawal that long man.

Also that first live CBB episode with Tom Lennon and folks, was the audio so bad it had to be pulled? You can't add it as an unlisted or something, I found it pretty good but never had the time to finish it.

How did the whole live stream come together by the way, any fun stories?
Big thanks for putting it up, watching the show live brings on a whole new level of entertainment from CBB. Listening to the podcast on the commute and then coming home to watch the video again is my new zen.
