And lots of off-mic visual comedy that I'm sure was hilarious to watch!

What a line-up though, Patton Oswalt, Sarah Silverman, Scott Aukerman... it was pretty chaotic but I loved it. Edit: Paul F. Tompkins!

My only complaint is that Kevin Pollak had to leave so early! And also that Josh Malina pretty much literally expired on stage and therefore didn't get to be as crushingly snarky as I know he can be.

That was awesome, and the bit about giving the little piggies a bath in a bucket while the ducks massaged them started out a little LOL RANDOM, but turned out pretty funny.

Adomian's Christopher Hitchens impression is pretty good, but I can't say I busted a gut laughing over it. The Valentine's day bit was pretty spot on vocally and in spirit, but it never quite hit that plateau into greatness. Hitchens can be pretty ridiculous sometimes, but I don't know if he's a good persona to build a comedy routine around. I'll give him a lot of credit for trying something different though.

The attention to detail was fabulous, but people not familiar with Hitchens would have been dumbfounded.

It was great to hear iBrain and the acting-off again, although I wish Brett Gelman read his new story. Also, "A Ship Called Hope" is the best Bob Ducca bit.

Not that it wasn't long enough but Scheer and Besser would have been good guests to have on the retrospective too.

I know, it's amazing. I usually love Hitch's writing, even if I disagree with him on a huge number of issues (neoconservatism and the existence of God being the two big ones), but he really does need to be lampooned more often, simply because he's such a weird character.

I didn't know that Thomas Lennon was the voice of Lil Gary until his last appearance. I'm still stunned whenever I hear it.

I'm glad that the John Hamm vs John C. Reilly Acting-Off won for best PFT moment. The part that kills me each time is when John C. Reilly's turn starts and Doug Benson immediately interrupts him, forcing him off on a winding tirade.

Kramer-Fonzie needs some work though. Lot of Kramer, not much Fonzie.

I will never get tired of hearing Paul F Tompkins as Ice-T. The episode was Adam Scott was brilliant.

"Come on Scott, you know I see the world through the eyes of little birds"

I love the increasingly bizarre life he has, such as the only person he talks to being Richard Belzer, or that he can't remember a time when he wasn't on Law and Order.

I'm really enjoying Who Charted right now. It's kind of haphazard and clumsy and that's what gives it so much personality. Kulap and Howard are really fun together and it just sounds like we're listening in on a bunch of friends having funny conversations about music and movies.

I love how Howard pops in with I did some research, and then he will ask his guest a question about something that only vaguely has to do with what they were talking about. It never fails to make me laugh.
