I think Chris Hardwick is really funny but I think his other tv shows and his podcast are all bad so I can see how someone could not like him. I'm not even sure about his standup really, I just think he's a great podcast guest whenever he's on Doug Loves Movies or Comedy Bang Bang or whatnot.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who likes Chris Hardwick, although I'm probably the only person here that thinks he's dreamy.

I'll back you up on that, even though I'm not into dudes.

Making fun of Singled Out will never get old.

Well it'll probably get old at some point.

It's hard to see Chris Hardwick as anything other than a winner if you compare him to his Singled Out cohost. Then again that would be true even if he were still a bloated alcoholic road comic.

I don't think the shows themselves are irritating so much as how they promote them with all the stupid hashtags and spots during the commercials. The actual show in and of itself are interesting if they could get rid of the other crap.

It's not really the shows' or AMC's fault though. That stuff actually matters to people who make decisions. That's just the world we live in now. And if we want to talk about the poo poo advertising and those corporations responsible for advertising are to blame for, annoying us with internet buzzwords is pretty goddamn low on that list.

Does this show basically draw from whatever that stand-up scene is that the nerdist podcast guys all seem to inhabit?

You mean the LA comedy scene? Yeah. Same scene nearly every other podcast draws from, so this is basically "Your Favorite Podcast Guests (And Howard Kremer): The TV Show". It's pretty cool.

I don't get to watch the episodes until the next day, but no matter how bad tonight's episode was, I'm sure tomorrow night's episode will make up for it.

And speaking of being a day behind, I hope Kurt Braunohler is on a lot more episodes. He is so good at this show. Grace Helbig had some great jokes too, despite appearing to be incredibly nervous. She kind of looked terrified at several points in the show.

I just started watching last night's episode and I'm currently imagining Doug Benson with Tom Lennon's mustache. It's pretty hilarious.

Great return week for the show. Love how unseriously it takes itself - e.g. leaving the Pete Holmes Show reference in.

Wonder how long it'll be before he has HIS GIRLFRIEND on the show.

Chloe Dykstra was indeed a goon who was dating a goon and then they broke up and he leaked her nude selfies onto the internet.

A couple of which she was under 18 for if I recall correctly.

Apoplexy posted:

I believe the ED article I read about her mentioned she thought about doing porn, or did a porn or something.

As with everything on her ED article, that was either something she said in jest or completely made up about her. I'd go look at the article to check which but I don't want to give those shitheads any more of my traffic. Somewhere on the internet she explained the whole thing but I forget where or how I came across it. Basically goons/internet nerds are awful human beings (no surprise there).

I believe I gathered all this just from googling her after I saw her on an episode of Tabletop. The internet is a wonderful/terrible place.

He was BY FAR my favorite guest to date on this show. The format worked so perfectly for him (as everything does) that it made it seem like everyone else was "doing comedy" wrong.

I kind of like Kurt Braunohler on the show better, but just because it seems like he's PERFECT for this kind of show.

Jen Kirkman and Mike Lawrence were great too. That was maybe the best lineup of the show so far.

What is that? Between this show and The Kroll Show I've come to enjoy that guy.

It's a video episode of Comedy Bang Bang aka Comedy Bing Bong aka Comedy Big Bang Theory. Jon Daly was playing a character named Bill Cosby-Bukowski, who is, as the name suggests, a hybrid of Bill Cosby and Charles Bukowski. It has Tim Heidecker being Tim Heidecker, so if you don't like that guy it might be a pass. Personally I go back and forth about Heidecker, but I think this episode is worth watching either way, because Jon Daly was hilarious on the episode.

They're all hilarious people though, so who cares? I know Gillian Jacobs is good at being funny on the fly because she's been on some of the best CBB eps ever, but I dunno about the other two. Didn't Alison Brie used to do sketch or improv or something? I dunno.

I'm not sure I "get" Brodie Steven's whole shtick.

This explanation isn't going to do it justice, but basically his "schtick" is having a... less than stellar life but being really super positive (and loud) about the smallest accomplishments. I can see how a lot of people wouldn't find him funny but I think he's hilarious. Especially when he just goes off and rambles on and on without getting to his jokes. There were some Youtube videos of him doing that very thing, but I can't find them at the moment. Also his show is great, although I've only seen the HBO.com thing. Watch the first or second episode (I forget) to find out just how much of an rear end in a top hat Chelsea Handler is.

Also I think this episode sucked because all 3 of them work best when they're given more space than @Midnight allows. The Sklars really work best when they're able to riff off each other, and Brody Stevens is best, like I said, when he can just ramble.

Does anybody know, was Ron Funches based in New York until recently? I didn't know anything about him until about a month ago and he just blew up. If he was in LA before then I wonder why he wasn't as well known as he is now.

Fedoras are like beards, in that no one under the age of 45 should wear one.

Beards are fine for people of any age, they just have to, like, groom the thing. Which includes not letting it grow down to their loving clavicle.

Fedoras are unacceptable on anyone and everyone. JFK died so that men wouldn't have to wear hats anymore. Women wearing fedoras just remind me of Jennifer Aniston's character on 30 Rock and I'm not sure if that's my problem, 30 Rock's problem, or the fedora's problem.
