In the Let's Talk About Loveline thread, I noticed a few posts from people asking why we don't have a comedy podcast thread. Well here it is!  I figured this first post can be used to list all the great comedy podcasts out there. This is just *my* list of favorites, but if you have more, feel free to talk about 'em and I'll update the OP. Eventually I'd like to separate these into further sub-categories (interview-style, live performances, etc), but for now, I'll just lump 'em all together. edit: When you suggest a podcast, try and point out a specific episode that you love to give people an idea where to start! I'll eventually give my own list for the ones I listed. Most (if not all) of these can be found in iTunes, but I've also provided RSS feeds and/or other links to download the shows directly. Don't be afraid to mention your own podcast! This is the place to talk about it, and get some pretty nice exposure. The Adam Carolla Show quote:"Yeah, I mean c'mon! I'm sick of this 'swiper no swiping!' what the hell? I used to play football! My dad never came to my games, but I'm not bitter! Hey legitimate movie star, I made a movie once! Maybe you've seen it. Let me tell you about the ins and outs of the movie biz... Hey! My personal friend that I hired as a producer: quit loving the show up/close the door I can hear you/ p.s. you're a Jew! Let me tell you about how I hate Mexicans, and in particular the Mexicans I hire to do my menial labor. Hey famous guest, did that make you feel awkward? Did I mention this whole show is taking place in a garage full of my sweet cars that I own? Let me tell you all about cars whether you like it or not. Here's where I bitch about how I hate Los Angeles. How many times can I say 'swing a hammer' so people know I was once a working man? You guys know Dr. Drew right? Let me talk poo poo about him. Has is been 15 minutes since I told everyone I was on TV? Oh yeah, my kid's a human being. Since I once worked construction I feel I have open license to be a racist douchebag. I was on Dancing with the Stars and they just didn't understand my genius! Oh, famous guest, that's an interesting story/topic/idea, let me put the brakes on the whole show to tell you I know how to hang drywall or frame a door or fix a carburetor like I'm the Patron Saint of Screwdrivers." quote:Jimmy and Stef get together to talk about comedy, and everything else on their minds, in this thought provoking and sometimes silly hour, sometimes two hours, of funny. quote:Based on the live stage show the L.A. Times calls "one of the most prestigious nights of [comedy] in the country," Comedy Bang Bang brings the country's best comedians straight to your home. quote:Movie reviews by stand-up comics and filmmakers Graham Elwood and Chris Mancini quote:Comedian Doug Benson (Last Comic Standing, Super High Me) invites his friends to sit down and discuss his first love: movies! quote:An extremely funny podcast about all things bread. quote:It's a podcast hosted by the great comic Greg Fitzsimmons quote:Jordan, Jesse GO! is an irreverent talk show, hosted by Jesse Thorn (The Sound of Young America) and Jordan Morris (Fuel TV). Listen in as Jesse, Jordan and celebrity guests discuss high-fives, goofing off and the travails of being a young adult. Be advised that while the show is by no means adult entertainment, it sometimes contains swearing and frank sex talk. quote:Comedian, Bill Burr, rants and rambles Monday mornings via cell phone for cynical insights into the world of comedy and touring. quote:I am Chris Hardwick. I am on TV a lot and have a blog at nerdist.com. This podcast is basically just me talking about stuff and things with my two nerdy friends Jonah Ray and Matt Mira, and usually someone more famous than all of us. Occasionally we swear because that is fun. I hope you like it, but if you don't I'm sure you will not hesitate to unfurl your rage in the 'reviews' section because that's how the Internet works. quote:"Never Not Funny" is a party conversation with one of the funniest men on the planet: comedian and TV personality Jimmy Pardo ("The Tonight Show," "That '70s Show," "The Surreal Life"). Every week, he sits down with producer Matt Belknap and a guest from the world of comedy to shoot the breeze, share stories and laugh at life. The free-flowing discussion can lead anywhere, but whether Jimmy's talking about growing up in the '70s and '80s, his unbridled love of classic rock or facing the trials of modern life, it's bound to strike a chord with listeners of all ages, and it's guaranteed to make you laugh quote:Award-Worthy Comedian PAUL F. TOMPKINS Presents Sketch, Live Recordings and Conversation, All Whilst Taking a Healthy Dip in The Stream of Consciousness. Featuring Clips from Mr. Tompkins's Largo Variety Show, The Music of Eban Schletter and Absurd Portrayals of Ice-T, Andrew Lloyd Webber, The Cake Boss and Others of Notoriety. quote:Pop My Culture is a bi-weekly(ish) podcast hosted by comedic actors and improvisers Cole Stratton and Vanessa Ragland. Join these two entertainment nerds and their special celebrity guests as they discuss movies, music, television, celebrity gossip, etc. without all those pesky “serious” topics like politics, religion and the environment. I mean, you can tune into Fresh Air for that. We’ll just tackle the trivial watercooler stuff, ok? quote:Yet another comedy podcast about indie rock and sports. Hosted by the Sklar Brothers, this brand new podcast will feature guests, characters, and lots of great bits (presumably) from the Sklars. quote:Comedian Greg Proops is smarter than you. quote:Saving America from herself, America through the eyes of two American Americans. Seth and Jonathan are the best podcasters currently podcasting right now, they take a medium that is usually poo poo and turn it into pure comedy, it's also a dancecast and performance art. quote:Comic Michelle Biloon drags you and comedians like Doug Benson, Maria Bamford, and James Adomian to the country's favorite tourist traps. quote:Welcome to Who Charted, a weekly podcast delving into the hottest music, movies, and television for the week. quote:Comedian Marc Maron is tackling the most complex philosophical question of our day - WTF? He'll get to the bottom of it with help from comedian friends, celebrity guests and the voices in his own head. You loved him on Morning Sedition. You kinda liked him on The Marc Maron Show. You tolerated him on Break Room Live. Now, embrace him on a show from which he cannot be fired - WTF with Marc Maron. The following is a list of goon-run podcasts. If you have one, mention it in this thread and I'll update the OP!

Mr. D Bewildering posted:drat, dude! You just gave me entertainment for the week! Yeah, it's really great to see stand-ups getting into it. It's the perfect medium for getting funny stuff out to a wide audience consistently. The "indie" or "alternative" comics are especially embracing it. I'm expecting more and more to hop on the podcast bandwagon soon (Sklar Bros and Paul F. Tompkins just started on August 1st).

Basically I look at the format as the perfect medium for what talk radio SHOULD be. I don't have anything against produced variety-type shows at all, but that's just my preference. Which is why this thread should be fantastic

Tears In A Vial posted:I thought the one with his daughter was adorable, but the best ones -- in my mind -- are the ones with Walt Flannigan; not because Scott Mosier isn't good, more that Kevin Smith seems to take more of a back seat when he has a guest on. When it's just Kevin and Scott, Kevin talks, almost without pause, about about how much he likes to gently caress for like an hour and it does my head in. I get an overwhelming sense of "You should be LUCKY you're listening to this podcast" from Smith on SModcast. Maybe that's just me. Change the name to  castBinowru posted:My favorite podcast, by far. I urge you all to look up the recent(-ish) episode with Jimmy Pardo, Paul F. Tompkins and Kate Micucci. Some of the funniest poo poo I've ever heard anywhere. Can't agree with this more. PFT and Pardo have an amazing chemistry.

Strange Matter posted:Oh god, this. This. Doug Loves Movies is litterally one of the highlights of my week because it's always hilarious and Doug always has fantastic guests. The live audience definitely complements the show, so much so that the lack of an audience in the last couple weeks (the show was recorded at Pardo's Never Not Funny studio) sort of impairs the overall quality. But my god it's hysterical. Listen to the latest show recorded at the UCB Theatre in New York. One of, if not the best, episode yet. Amazing crowd and amazing performers.

FortCastle posted:This right here, I've probably listened to 15 different comedy podcasts and none come close to this Here's a good place to find all the old episodes of Doug Loves Movies (formerly I Love Movies). Some good ones to choose from: Bob Odenkirk and Chris Hardwick. They break down the top 10 movies of the last 25 years I believe, and Odenkirk provides some amazing opinions. Jon Hamm and Jimmy Pardo. Just great chemistry between the three of them. Hamm (of Mad Men fame) really knows comedy. Adam Carolla and Patton Oswalt. Again, the chemistry is awesome, and this is about the best environment I've seen Carolla in outside of Loveline. Andy Kindler and Marc Maron. If you don't like Kindler,  Paul F. Tompkins and Sean Cullen. Both amazing comedians, both get along great and both sing together at some point. Special.

KING OF BLOGOSPHERE posted:How many of the comedy death rays have people doing characters? I listened to 63 and 62 after hearing how many people rave about it, and they were both awesome for the first 30 minutes and then some lame jerk came in doing a dumb character and completely ruined the rest of the show.

Strange Matter posted:I listened to one Comedy Death Ray podcast. It was Brian Posehn,and some guy playing a disgusting Food Critic Character. It was funny, but it seemed unnatural, or at least inorganic which is really the only format I like these podcasts in. Something about it turned me off and I haven't gone back since. Well, for one, both are very funny, so I'm sure Doug can appreciate that, and secondly, DLM is the opener for the live version of Comedy Death Ray at the UCB Theatre, so they're all good pals.

That's LA improv and UCB regular Seth Morris.  He's on this week's episode of CDR

Narwhale posted:It's pretty hard to describe podcasts you like, isn't it? Hopefully some people will check these out, though, because they're both pretty great. Yeah, I guess the best way is to do it the way you did, but comparing to others. There does seem to be a pretty general couple of "types" of podcasts: people sitting around and talking vs. produced/written "bits" or characters. Some shows like CDR combine them.

Whitey Ford posted:I love it too, easily my favorite. Speaking of which, I think Carolla's podcast would be a lot better if he just did them weekly. He could get good guests that he has familiar chemistry with and didn't have to rely on all these interview-style shows that are utterly forgettable. He really could have a Never Not Funny-type podcast if he paced out the poo poo edit: Also, a podcast sub-forum would be pretty amazing. Lord knows there's enough of them (and not just comedy) to support an entire sub-forum. nah fucked around with this message at 01:11 on Aug 6, 2010 |

habanero walrus posted:Uhh Yeah Dude is the best podcast on the internet. No guests, no boring bullshit about working in comedy, hardly any "segments", just an hour of two hilarious dudes having a seamless conversation about the crazy poo poo Seth has found on the internet interspersed with stories from their pasts. No guests and no stories about working in comedy? Both good reasons for me to skip this show.

RightClickSaveAs posted:Your results may vary, but I just about hurt myself laughing at the Bjork character in #15 (it starts about 37 minutes in), I have no idea who did it but it was one of the funniest things I've heard in a long time (it helps if you've heard the really weird Billy Bob Thornton interview with that Canadian radio guy a while back). Bjork was played by Matt Besser, one of the founders up the Upright Citizen's Brigade.

No one on the planet seems more pompous and arrogant than Jesse Thorn. And his face is uncomfortable to look at for more than a few seconds. He's pretty much perfect for public radio. I guess that's almost his "schtick" or whatever (his obsession with suits goes beyond Paul F. Tompkins and borders on weirdness). I can tolerate him when he's on NNF and when there are good guests on Jordan Jesse Go, but otherwise he really sucks the life out of me

Mister J posted:I have a similar feeling about Scott Aukerman, really. He's got a lot of really good writing credits, but I just don't find him to be terribly funny, or a terribly good broadcaster. The quality is really dependent on the guest. You want a boring rear end 20 minutes, check out the first part of the CDR episode with Nick Thune. Aukerman absolutely loves camp and lovely, lovely puns. And he seems to love to bomb, oddly; he likes to shoot for the absolute worst and lamest joke one can possibly make, and giggles hysterically at it. I love it.

I heard of Huell Howser from Carolla's days on Loveline, years ago. It lead me to Youtubing him a little while back and boy, Adomian is pitch-perfect. Also I wonder how many people know that Adomian's food critic character is based on a real person?

Well, I think comedians doing bits on shows has been going on for a long time, long before Dr. Katz. I don't remember a lot of inside baseball on Dr. Katz, though.

Carolla just doesn't know a lot of things to keep talking about one topic for very long. He repeats himself so much, even during the same conversation. As awful as the morning zoo-esque bits are on his podcast, it's better to have that than to have him ranting about Dora the Explorer again.

CharlesWillisMaddox posted:I hate that this topic is like some celebrity radio show blowfest, it's the reason actual good podcasts can't get listeners because everyone is always "Holy poo poo a celebrity is doing a podcast! Let's all listen!" Adam Carolla is the worst. I like that every single one of your posts in this thread are just bashing professionals for doing podcasts. Carolla blows, yes, but basically every single other podcast hosted by a "celebrity" is great. No one gives a gently caress if they're famous or not, they care that they're funny, and the vast majority of the great podcasts are not hosted by a couple of unknown guys.

nemoulette posted:After listening to every ep of Doug Loves Movies, I'm gonna have to pass. I mostly think his improv is pretty dull, and while some of his guests are alright most of them are just mid-tier Twitter-era comedians. I've noticed that stand ups often don't improv well together if they don't have styles that jive poorly, so to speak. I really enjoyed the actual game, just not the banter before it. I don't think you have to pass, you've already listened to every single episode. Jesus.
