I'm a little annoyed at Hardwick in this episode. I know Phirman is his bff, and I usually like Phirman a lot, but I think Hardwick was a little, ahem, liberal with his point-awarding to Mike. Also it's a loving travesty that Paul is the one who lost.:argh:

Well, that we're seeing. I'm guessing there are a lot that get edited out. But I take your point.

Still, I don't think that was Phirman's best showing. Meh.

That was good, and he had a couple other good lines. I dunno, I guess most of it was too pun-based. Also, I really wanted either Paul or Storm to win. :(

This is why you need to watch. Alton Brown is so loving uncomfortable and is only there because Tony gets him hammered. It's one of the best things either has ever done. Also that stripper they're with has been there for decades.

I seriously thought she was an achondroplastic dwarf. (also, people need to stop calling them "little people," because "dwarf" is a medically correct term and "little people" is a stupid term)

The only thing I can see people disliking him for is overexposure, which is a valid reason for not liking someone. Is there another reason I am not seeing?

I think some people think he's fake in how enthusiastic he comes off. But that's genuinely how he is, from what I understand - he's just an easily excitable nerd.

What makes you think it is? PFT's blooper? Because I think that was extemporaneous, but he just kept loving up the line he had just come up with.

Yea Chris' lines are written, and they probably tell the guests 'hey here's the rapid fire stuff we're doing' so there's not five minutes of people going 'uuuuh' for the more out of left field ones.

I mean, as much as I love the guests, I doubt they had a bunch of 'make a book Canadian' goofs on the top of their head.

No, and I'm sure there are plenty of 30-second stretches of silence while comedians try to come up with funny zingers, and those are just (mercifully) edited out. That doesn't bother me at all, though. As long as it's funny and the comics are for the most part coming up with their own answers.

I did not care for it, I thought it went way too long. If it was like half the time I would have no problem with it.

I do agree that it went on too long, but it didn't bother me too much. All in all, I think I'm a little bit perplexed at how many nerds just hate people singing in movies and on TV when I love it (if it's done well).

e: It reminds me of when the "Les Miserables" movie came out, and I heard people saying, "Ugh, I didn't like it - too much singing." I wanted to ask them, "What exactly did you think you were getting into, then? It's 'Les Miz.' There's a lot of singing. That's the point." It's the same thing with Chris Hardwick; he sings a lot in his comedy, and that's just part of his brand.
