one of my favorite podcasts is 'four people bully their friend in front of a live audience via roleplaying' I mean 'Dragon friends'.

Dave's angry rant when Ben brought out Snagglepuss again in season 2 was hilarious.

His genuine disappointment at Ben literally only having Snagglepuss to offer was so good.

I’m catching up on the Tomb of Annihilation streams and I’m honestly super surprised that Freezo hasn’t tried to use the airship (or indeed, any of the ships he stole) to piss off back to the Sword Coast.

Freezo would rather stay with his friends and be miserable so he has people to complain to than fly back home alone with nothing to whine about. He's easily the most real character.

While Freezo may be the obvious pariah of the group, I am enjoying how Philge goes out of her way to invent the most creatively unhelpful thing she can think of to do with her actions. Poor meegan

Another thing I like about this podcast is that they sometimes panic or get lazy and do something unfunny or mildly offensive, like any red-blooded drunk improviser does from time to time when they're performing for 2 hours straight, and the rest of the group will pull it out by dunking on them in a funny way, like Hing's autism jokes or some of the gypsy stuff in season 2. I still have a few episodes in season 3 to go, and the gang has reached a critical mass of cum jokes, to Dave's chagrin

Also, Simon sounds extremely like Jemaine Clement and I like that

Yea I love that the rule seems to be 'we'll let you try to make your lazy/slightly offensive stereotype work, but if it falls flat we're gonna spend the rest of the show dunking on you'. That's good improv.

Yea Freezo is the master of roleplay loving things up when he wants to treat anyone who even mildly creates any obstacle of them as if they're the biggest threat to the party in the game. Alex manages to do it all in combat and such when she looks at what's going on and picks the most useless option that's also funny, like when she fuckin lynches a lion.

How much do you like the show when it makes almost no progress because everyone's too busy raking Dave over the coals?

Because that's almost 75% of this episode.

Do you mean 'how much do you like the majority of DF content' because I think we're all here for that

I've now listened to a bunch of bigsofttitty and it's extremely powerful. Demi's hoots of delight at the horrible things she or Tom read are powerful, as is Tom being disgusted by the internet.

What I love is that that’s not even the point or gimmick of the podcast, it’s just a genuinely funny podcast that works on its own premise; but every now and then you get a little bonus that causes Ben to say “wait”

Yea it's a really funny 'let's riff on silly things we see on Craigslist' podcast that just happens to have a reoccurring segment where Hing says something absolutely loving insane as if it's normal and they all have to deal with that for a moment.

Funny enough I was just listening to the 'say you want to microwave...an apple for example' episode and I forgot it came on the heels of 'mom didn't want anyone in the same room as the microwave when it was going' and Ben pointing out she's apparently a doctor. So ya know, it's at least genetic.

The absolute best is when that happens but Hing is actually completely correct, like I just got up to an episode where he explains the actual origin of teddy bears and no one believes him.

yea Hing is a master of 'not being wrong but describing the thing so badly it sounds fake' just as much as he is of insane 'you know, when you nuke an apple so it's softer' moments.

I forgot how absolutely golden the christmas episodes are. The first one still has two of my favorite riffs of the entire series.

I’m working my backwards through it; I lost it at the Jordan raskopoulos wacdonalds epidode and I have no idea why

wacdonalds is literally one of the funniest bits on any podcast I've listened to.

Just dudes shouting "WAH" puns at each other and cackling. It's such a good ep.

It's like how one of the best bigsofttitty episodes is the Club Penguin one where the whole first chunk is just 'guess what name got wordfiltered'.

Yeah I’ve noticed that too, it’s pretty monkeycheese on its surface but Demi’s ramblings are the fun kind of chaotic rather than the lolrandum kind

Also Dave if you’re reading this tell Demi I NEED one more rendition of the complete uncut version of Horse Song. She barely ever included the ending rap; it was my favorite part!

It helps that Demi's random ramblings are actually like, her just saying the poo poo comes to her mind with zero filtering. She's not like sitting down to go 'how can I be wacky and random' she's just like 'oh yea that thing Dave just said reminds me about this thing I saw on the internet two weeks ago so anyway there's this big horse...'

yea Hing is pretty clearly playing up the 'are you a loving sociopath dude' elements for the bit by now, when he's not on jokey funtimes things it's pretty clear he's a weird but normal guy who has a lot of empathy for others and just kinda wants to be a big nerdy weirdo in peace more than any weird 'I MUST WIN AND PUNISH THOSE WHO STOPPED ME' thing.

I know it's very hard for them to do these days what with being functional partners and members of society and poo poo (the cowards) but I'm always sad after listening to a new FTAGH knowing it's who knows when until another comes.

The Sydney comedy scene seems incredibly interconnected and supportive of each other, and based on FtaGH most of them have lived in share houses together or known each other for years.

But Dave's also the GM of the Giant Dwarf so he could just cancel all their other gigs if they revolt.

yea I have zero actual clue for this but just going on podcasts like FtaGH it sounds like 90% of the Syney comedy community has shared at least one living situation and are the godparents of eachothers' kids and poo poo like some kinda comedy commune.

when i heard about this show, from the description of freezo, i 100% thought he was the dude i would hate lol.

but hing is so authentically and inescapably himself that it works even when it shouldn't

yea it really helps that most of Freezo's insane poo poo has come from Hing genuinely just doing Hing (or at least a more played up version of Hing, what being comedy and all) and only when everyone goes 'what the gently caress are you doing though' does he realize he's created a magical sociopath, rather than him actively trying to be 'that guy'.

Also yea, listening to FTAGH and seeing that Hing is just a perfectly nice seeming and normal dude aside from some very odd blind spots helps. Also FTAGH is just funny as poo poo and should be listened to.
