JethroMcB posted:You can add a SeeSo subscription THROUGH Amazon Prime Video, but it's not included. This is awesome, a better interface for watching seeso shows. Their interface is garbage and they didn't even offer me a refund when I told them it didn't work on my computer. I want to support all the good comedy people involved with these shows, but they really need to start picking better media partners that know how to make a loving website.

Mordecai Sanchez posted:What do you mean by add-on though? Like when you click "channels" on Hulu there would be one that says Seeso? I haven't signed up for the showtime addon but I imagine it just adds new content to their list of shows. Much like when they add new shows normally. I haven't found Hulu to have any ads on their ad free version, they also advertised it as totally ad free. Is this not the case? The big problem I have is that they don't have every season of certain shows.

Pot Of Shoe posted:The funniest thing about that I4H "case closed" thing was that that Dorkawhatever dude was such a little bitch when it came time to actually debate. He was so confident making posts on that dead forum but as soon as he gets a chance to talk he makes almost zero points. The debate was BS, the argument was whether or not Bernie should concede. It's a stupid position to take, especially if you believe he should be president.

Pot Of Shoe posted:Well it is all but assured that he will concede and Hillary will get the nom, it's just a matter of when he should concede that they were debating. It doesn't matter if you think it's assured or not, it's just a weak position to take in a debate. If the assumption is that he's lost arguing about his merits is pointless, all you can argue about is whether or not it makes sense for him to concede or not. Which is exactly what we got, and it was boring and stupid and it went exactly how Besser wanted it to. Just to be clear, I enjoy case closed (unlike most of you guys it seems), I just thought it was lame how they set up the debate. They should've just had a legitimate debate discussing the merits of each candidate if they were going to talk about this at all.

Pot Of Shoe posted:It's not that I think it's assured, it's just a fact that it is all but assured, my personal opinion on the matter doesn't really affect anything. And the debate topic was decided by the forums guy anyway, he chose his position so take it up with him I guess. Also, the debate wasn't about if he will concede but when he will concede which is tedious at best and boring at worst. That's not what happened at all, the topic wasn't decided by the guy calling him out. Presumably Besser chose the topic of debate: "should Bernie now unite to fight with Hillary against Trump". http://forum.earwolf.com/topic/34144-matt-besser-i-am-calling-you-out/ I too enjoy the music episodes, though I don't know if they produce the best improv. I can say with certainty that youtube videos produce the worst improv bits though. 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. The latest High and Mighty had John Gemberling discussing the concept of child gently caress dolls for pedophiles... topic of the episode? video games!

Mordecai Sanchez posted:I've had Howl for a week now and love it (whoever says there's not enough content is loving nuts) but the interface is confusing. Is there a way to subscribe to podcasts and have them download automatically like the basic iphone app? Like for The Layman, I just favorited the show so I know exactly where to go to manually download a new episode. Nope, it's garbage. They wrote the app as if it's job were to advertise shows and list them. They should have written the app as though it's job were to listen to podcasts. I'm only using the android version so I can't speak to the ios version, but here are the main problems I have. 1) No way to create a playlist 2) no way to subscribe, so you can never tell when new episodes appear 3) no way to reorder the list, everything is bottom up as if they expect you to listen to everything in reverse order 4) no way to use a third party player 5) random crashes 6) not a super important feature for most, but for me I would like it to keep track of what I'm listening to between devices. I should be able to listen on the website and switch to my phone and it should keep track of what I've listened to and how much I've listened to.

Mordecai Sanchez posted:So is anyone planning on going to the MidRoll Podcast Festival in Anaheim? I never planned on going as I enjoy the LA PodFest just fine and hate Orange County, but the way they've ~rolled~ out the Midroll one is pretty gross so far. The LA Podfest guys made a now-deleted Facebook post that basically said all of Midroll's properties (Earwolf + WTF) would be exclusive to that fest sooner or later. They couldn't do it this year as LA PodFest announced their lineup well in advance of the Midroll Fest. And on today's HDTGM, Paul read this very Welcome to the corporatization of entertainment! Soon everything will be region locked, Canadians won't get Comedy Bang Bang unless they pirate it, but they'll get Yo Is This Racist? a week early.

I don't mind throwing a few bucks at them just to support the stuff I like, but I'm definitely not supporting the production of content I don't want to listen to. Not only that but the lack of new content is definitely not helping... producing things advertisers like isn't making me want to fund that poo poo.

Mordecai Sanchez posted:There's a really funny webseries featuring tons of Earwolf/UCB regulars called Tween Fest. It's about a father who puts on a Coachella for social media influencers: A Venmo superstar, a pimple popper Youtube celebrity, a "socially conscious" prankster who locks babies in cars and yells at people who don't save it, etc. At a certain point satire is just the thing you don't like, you literally can't parody the awful poo poo on youtube because it's worse than whatever you can imagine.

JethroMcB posted:My conspiracy theory is that Casper and Leesa are not distinct companies and instead just two different marketing arms for the same manufacturer, being pitted against one another in some kind of Venture Capitalist Hunger Games scenario. I'm pretty sure at the very least the product is manufactured at the same facility. I've seen videos/pictures of the competitors products and they're packaged exactly the same and look exactly the same, the casper mattress says "casper" on the side but otherwise looks identical.

ManoliIsFat posted:I think I heard recently that the way they do that "1 outta 10 are donated to a shelter" is they funnel all their returns to homeless shelters. Because I'm pretty sure it's illegal (in many states, at least) to sell a used mattress. Not sure about other mattress companies but the return policy for Leesa seemed like some kind of local recycling partnership. If you ask for a return it doesn't go back to the factory, it gets picked up and donated or recycled by a local company. I don't know if they count that as "donated to a shelter" but that would be pretty shady if that was the case.

ManoliIsFat posted:They keep casually mentioning it but I think he sold a chunk of his ownership before the sale. The funny thing about all this is that once Earwolf is dead and buried all the content producers, unless they pay them serious cash, will just move over to an independent podcast networks and all the money spent will be for nothing. They're trying to re-create the network model in podcast form, but it's over, it's not coming back. The distribution model that services like Youtube and Twitch offer are the future, traditional media companies are just grasping at straws at this point.

I did have to cancel and sign up through amazon to get it to work properly... I rarely watch anything on it so I probably should cancel it while I wait for the next season of Harmonquest. The rest of the content I've either already seen or it doesn't interest me, UCB show was hit or miss probably better live, MBMBaM was alright and I thought Shrink was good too but I'm a real Baltz-head.

Tarranon posted:i think spont and with special guest and bitch sesh have good ads but it does seem to be really hard to do right I think you're just calling those good because you're used to ads. I appreciate the attempt at making the commercial funny or interesting, but at the end of the day they're just reading copy in a funny voice. I skip the ads, but if I could I'd pay for ad-free versions as long as it worked and isn't a lovely experience. I still pay for howl even though I don't use the app, I'd pay for an ad-free RSS if they had the option.

Like a lot of what is funny about the show now is kinda how it plays with comedy concepts in a way that could probably be pretty off putting to people I am guessing. Too true, It's just too complex for the layman to find the humor in it. You guys must just be on another level. Hold on, let me do it.... hmmm, speak on that! Did I figure it out?

How can so many incredibly talented and funny people make a show so shockingly unfunny. I desperately want to like it, but it's just completely devoid of laughs. I think comedians must watch and enjoy reality TV, to normal people a fake reality TV show is no different than a "real" reality TV show.
