The Banned posted:Seeing Marc Maron with the girlfriend tomorrow at Trees in Dallas. I'm pretty excited. Haven't seen a show there since I saw Arcade Fire in late '04 or early '05, can't remember. Any other goons going? How was it? I've seen a life WTF, but never his stand up (aside from the albums).

If anyone downloads the newest episodes of "Comedy and Everything Else" and dismisses it: Know that there's some gems in the backlogs. The episodes with Paul F. Tompkins and Doug Benson are great, along with some others.

The_Rob posted:I don't see why everyone hated Jimmy Dore and his wife. They seemed like nice people who were high, and were discussing a movie that doug brought up. Why is that bad? I thought they were good, too. They're not crazy-funny, but they were amusing and definitely not annoying. I think people are reacting too harshly.

King Lou posted:They're actually super high level improvisors. I used to see them do Harolds at the UCB NY back in the early 2000's. They've been a team forever. I think in that setting they like to get silly and pun-y. I thought they were great on CDR. For some reason the line, "I don't have that kind of scratch" is just so funny.

I think he'd do fine as a artie lange-esque side kick, but his podcast is the pits. His gradual progression to a more and more vocal right wing proponent is really unfortunate. He, along with Anthony from O&A, needs to just stop talking about politics forever. I guarantee every opinion they have is just from listening to talk radio.

NecronSchmecron posted:^^^It's "Lock the gates" I thought. Now that you mention it, I just heard it, and I think it says "Blocked Again". I assume it's a quote from a movie.^^^ It's from "Almost Famous". It was one of Marc Maron's lines, he plays the angry concert promoters who gets mad after the band leaves when they get electrocuted by the microphone.

I really like Marc's system (that is being commonly adopted) of free podcasts, but with the occasional premium episode. I don't mind paying 2 bucks every for a really-good version of something I listen regularly. I hope it's commonly adopted. It provides an incentive for podcasters to provide an above average podcast, and it gives me a way to give them a reward for their hardwork. I could just donate, but money is tight if I can get away with it, I won't. It's like a reminder. I like to feel like I contribute, without money being a barrier the medium in general.

Ok, after listening to today's WTF I'm convinced Maron is reading this thread. Mark, can you give a subtle signal if that's true? Slip in a 'goon' or a 'somethingawful' into your monologue? (If I'm right, that's some pretty good psychological detective work.)

I haven't heard the NNF episode, but he gave (in good fun) some poo poo to James Lipton when he was on "Inside the Actors Studio" and I thought it was great. As opposed to people who just play along, and actively questioned some the bullshit that goes on. It was sorta psuedo-aggressive but playful. I assume the NNF was in the same tone?

Speaking of comedians we don't get, does anyone find Reggie Watts funny? I at least see why people like Jimmy Pardo, if I don't find him that great. Reggie Watts, I don't even get that he's telling jokes. All his songs are lame.

This makes me like Matt Besser a lot less Oh well, hopefully he's calmed down since then. That whole post is pretty pathetic and over reactionary (wtf? SNL can't defend itself?) as is all the people posting "I've got your back!". Dude, you're not in turf war in the Bronx. Oh well, the internet was newer and stuff back then, and people were dumber. Still, this is going to make me like Besser's comedy less.

If you're on the fence about Bill Burr, check out his latest podcast (April 18th, http://www.billburr.com/podcast/). Pretty much I don't think I've seen him be funnier. j8910 fucked around with this message at 17:52 on Apr 24, 2011 |

Majorian posted:Sounds like I should give him a chance. I'm just getting tired of standups whose entire act boils down to, "Hey, I'm from Boston/New York and I love/hate the Red Sox and now I'm going to rant about how political correctness is for gay people!" It's like the New England version of the Blue Collar Comedy Tour. I know what you're talking about, but he's better than that. Honestly, I think he kinda overcompensates by playing up a "working class" vibe a little. He graduated from Emerson. I don't know, at first I was bit turned off by what you described, but he grew on me and his podcast is on my list of favorites. Your mileage may vary.

I looked at the website for the UCB theater in LA: The weekly live Comedy Death Ray show has also been renamed "Comedy Bang Bang". So, the most probable reason for the name change is that Scott and BJ Porter don't get along, or something, and that Scott is now going solo.

I know the name of CDR/CBB shouldn't matter, but all I can think about is "Man, that podcast I used to like is now going to suck." I'm sure I'm overreacting, but it doesn't help that the first episode with the new name is a clunker.

Should be interesting considering a lot of people think Maron and Scharpling have some sort of beef On the last Best Show, Scharpling was pretty complimentary towards Maron and also has been on his show, so those people are probably wrong.
