caveman thug poo poo posted:Cake Boss' attention to detail in that would you rather was incredible. I loved the "WHY DO I DO IT?!" when Scott told him he calls Batman every night to gloat about beating his record, and the fact that Batman wouldn't even know if not for the phone calls. Also his wondering if he'd ever find true love as the tippy-toed gold-brained balsa wood plane was almost too sweet to be funny. I was recently stuck in a hotel room while on a business trip and I had a chance to watch the REAL Cake Boss... I thought PFT was making a ridiculous impersonation of some Italian guy who makes cakes. His impression of the Cake Boss is almost perfect. The_Rob posted:Well you were wrong so I am glad they jumped all over you. If you can't enjoy Birthday Checks I really don't know what to say. I love CDR radio and I love Weirder Scott, I love comedy music and even the bad stuff is funny because it's bad. Everyone should do themselves a favor and listen to every episode that has Nick Kroll, he is so drat hilarious. Also all the episodes with Paul F. Tompkins are great... hell any episode where they have characters where they improvise are great. This weeks episode was so drat hilarious. I also listen to Kevin Smith's Smodcast, the ones where they play out a scene are the best (usually a news story). Superego is great, I love the "spidermin 2" guy. The Lavender Hour is loving hilarious, everyone should listen to it. The only problem is that they are very inconsistent with releasing new episodes. Doug Loves Movies, Pod F Tompkast, Comedy and Everything else and the Adam Carolla Show are also great and I listen to them every new episode.

Mt. Modular posted:After hearing a few funny clips, i finally subscribed to The Best Show on WFMU podcast and listened to the latest episode... Man...did I pick the wrong time to get into this show. I downloaded all the episodes I could off itunes and found episodes with guests I might like but still... this show is just not good. I gave it a fair shake but it's like 3 hours of mediocre comedy, the host is terrible and most of the call in bits are terrible. Though I do admit sometimes there's a chuckle, in 3 hours only one or two is totally not worth it.

Carabus posted:I've been liking smodcast recently, but only the episodes with Smith and Mosier. Mosier is pretty much the only reason the show is funny, otherwise Kevin would just vamp all day about pussy and masturbating (which he does when he has a guest co-host). None of the co-hosts know how to play along and they rarely have a thought on any subject, and even if they did have a thought they don't talk about it the way that Mosier does.

webster876 posted:Birbiglia's part of the newest This American Life is my favorite Birbiglia so far. Also, I absolutly LOVE that podcasts are recognized as such a viable form of media that they now have a circuit. First everybody from The League was on CDR, DLM, The Nerdist, now Mike Birbiglia is doing TAL, CDR and Nerdist. Has it always been like this, at least for established comedians? Or is this new? I think the circuit is new, a lot of guys have done their promotions on the Adam Carolla show but I only recently noticed people making the rounds on all the other shows. Birbiglia is a funny standup, I love his specials (they're streaming on netflix), but he's not really good at improv or coming up with jokes on the fly. I wasn't a big fan of this weeks CDR, it's a shame because I was looking forward to listening.

Wyld Cannon posted:Yeah, he didn't really seem to get any of Aukerman's silly wordplay jokes (so he'd probably be a real snoozer on Never Not Funny). On the Nerdist Chris was saying how Birbiglia is really into writing his jokes and is constantly writing so that probably gives creedence to him not being great at improv. I was cracking up at the Beatles trailer, it's pretty much what I was thinking when I saw the actual trailer. There were definitely good parts of the episode but overall it was pretty boring.

Civil posted:Adam Carolla's show/interview with Mike Rowe is terrific. I prefer the show style episodes, but this was gold. The amount of stupidity in this interview was at an all time high... relationship with dirt? What the hell are they talking about? The technology that allows some of us to not be dirty when we come home from work didn't exist 100 loving years ago. The reason our GDP was high 100 years ago has little to do with people being dirty, it's because we were PRODUCING things.

big business sloth posted:Anyone wanna let me in on which CDRR eps are just classic and really good? All the ones I've heard so far have been pretty good, but some have been better than others and it's tough to gauge by names alone. Look for any episode that has Nick Kroll, and then any episode with Paul F. Tompkins. Always good stuff. edit: Strange Matter posted:Adam knows nothing about history and even less about economics. It wouldn't be so bad if people called him on it now and then but he surrounds himself with people who never disagree with him. His relentless supply side economics was one of the factors that drove me away from his show. I have a feeling that all his ideas of how the past was are based on old TV shows, and all of his ideas on how modern kids/people are is based on reality TV. In reality the past sucked, and the present for everyone in the country almost always sucks less. ElCondemn fucked around with this message at 20:16 on Oct 21, 2010 |

t3ch3 posted:I suspect the reaction has a lot to do with her being a woman. I always notice that any time there's a woman involved in any kind of comedy (podcast or otherwise) it's pretty much nothing but negative comments. I'm actually a big fan of Jimmy and Steph, I find them to be hilarious and often times really informative. I like the silly humor that they do, it makes me chuckle out loud all the time. This weeks CDR started slow (I thought) but once the ghosts and ghouls showed up it really picked up. Had me laughing almost non stop till the end, the monster mash song was great too especially the "Get the gently caress out of here" at the end. edit: Beef Jerky Robot posted:Are you serious? You honestly think people didn't like the episode because she is a woman? That's pretty much the reaction to every female comedian in this thread and itunes and everywhere else. Your guess is as good as mine, but I find most of the ones on these podcasts funny and the internet seems to hate them. The female comedians that I usually dislike are the kind that talk about tampons and how men suck. ElCondemn fucked around with this message at 05:47 on Oct 29, 2010 |

bananasinpajamas posted:You are all forgetting that Carolla isn't a right-wing nut at all, because he thinks pot should be legal. He said on one podcast a long time ago that he was talking to some conservative politician or pundit or something, and that he made some points that made sense. The specific point was something along the lines of "Should you vote on how you want things to be or how they are?", and I guess that argument won him over in terms of pot legalization. He then went on to talk about how he doesn't want a bunch of pot heads running around and that it makes sense to vote against legalizing it. I wish I could remember the podcast he said that on. He's also said things like "I don't use the roads more than anyone else, why should I pay more?" Anyway I don't want to get too much into his politics because he clearly has no idea what he's talking about. I mostly stopped listening because he hasn't had on any guests I like and the type of show he's doing has gone from being a comedy show to a rant about things I don't like show. Which I guess was a fine line he was walking before but at least he would have people come on that were funny and he would re-enact events and make up movies and poo poo like that.

That Dan guy seems unreal, he's literally emailing someone he does not know to tell them that they should be envious of his life? Bragging about making a ton of money and how his life is better than even your dreams? What? Must be some sort of joke... nobody could be that insecure about themselves. If you go to his site there's a "promo" video that shows a ton of introductions and just as soon as you see him get on stage the video ends, where are the examples of his comedy?

Wyld Cannon posted:All three games on CDR are great - Would You Rather, What Am I Thinking, Jukebox Jury - What Am I Thinking is a really easy but fun game so you can get anyone to play. I hate it when they pick the same Would You Rather, they've done it at least a couple times. The guests always seem to ask the same questions and go down the same path, the best ones are when they have just characters playing.

He's pretty old, he's about Marc Maron's age. I thought he was a lot younger but I guess pot keeps you young.

Can you guys please recommend me some? I need to narrow it down from the hundreds of suggestions in here. I need something with a humour that doesn't rely 90% on pop culture references, since I'm not from the US (and all those 'really funny' shows that are just hours of random name-dropping are extremely boring), and is at least minimally informative. I think many people would agree with my top 5, these are the podcasts I look forward to every week/month.

SpeedoJoe posted:Just heard the Gallagher episode. He's a pretty terrible comedian. Maron handled it very well and still managed to be witty. The best line was "Marc: Who wants to work state fairs? Gallagher: Everyone" King Lou posted:I just listened to the Gallagher thing. I kind of felt bad for Gallagher and appreciated that Maron could actually step back and recognize that he was perhaps played a part in Gallagher getting so bent out of shape. That being said Gallagher came off pretty crazy. I had no idea he was a chemist (is thats true). He's insanely bitter but whatever, his career has spanned 3 decades on a single premise. It was an entertaining listen. Everything he said about science was wrong.

All I know is going forward, everything is going to get judged on whether it is or is not state-fair-funny. I don't think I ever liked Gallagher (not that I had taste, I was a hulkamaniac) but now I feel very strongly that he's a horrible person. I love that he really does believe that he is giving some kind of social commentary with the sledge-o-matic.

Strange Matter posted:Doug Loves Movies is probably the most stand-upy show out there. Its recorded in front of a live audience and that atmosphere really influences the overall feel of the show for the better. Doug Benson has a staggering array of comedy friends and will almost always have one or two comics on each episode. The best CDR is the episode with Bill Cosby Bukowski, his jelloem "who's the most fuckable huxtable" is the best. Everyone I've played it for loves it and quotes it all the time.

benito posted:I'm not deep into the podcast, but for example the recent Paul Reubens show was mostly interview. For some of the early ones, there's the sort of "real" conversation (perhaps not a proper interview) before the guest goes into his or her routine or characters. It's like on late night shows where a comedian has a normal conversation with the host versus just slipping into part of the standup routine while sitting on the couch. I like the former, not the latter. Maybe CDR isn't your type of podcast, the Paul Rubens show was unlike the regular show at all.

t3ch3 posted:The absence of Who Charted? from that list is shameful. I don't think there's a single episode where I haven't coughed from laughing so hard yet and this week's is certainly no exception. I'm only 20 minutes into it but Thomas Lennon deconstructing rap lyrics and hoping for a fascist regime so we get some good party jams already has me doubled over. I've got to say that Who Charted is probably my favorite podcast right now, I always laugh out loud. I think Howard is just gifted at asking stupid questions, and Kulap gives the show a great energy. Also I think the atmosphere of the show makes guests just... be their best I think. My favorite part this week was when Thomas Lennon kept wanting to decapitate Kulap.

Satire Forum Mom posted:It's lovely your friend quit comedy, King Lou, but it is pretty lovely to do a show that piggy backs off the popularity of another show while simultaneously trashing it. Not to pick sides but from what I read of Bessers post he was just calling people out for being petty themselves. Basically re-hashing SNL skits and calling the original poo poo is a pretty stupid idea. Also the party for people who weren't asked to join the UCB group, UCB members not allowed because "will be making fun of you and shoo you out." It sounds like Matt was just calling people out for being lovely. I like his characters, this weeks CDRR was great.

King Lou posted:I'm not privy to the full email exchange between the two. But apparently he sent her all the Nerdimal images and went on to explain how she was ripping him off. So are you implying that he shouldn't have confronted someone that he thinks may have copied something that he made/had made? (it's not just a bit, he has actual "nerdimals" art) I'm sure she didn't copy him and he may have overreacted but everyone knows that people copy each other all the time, especially online. I recently started listening to Nerdist again, not sure if I'll keep it up because I agree with most of the criticisms on here about him (Trying too hard to be nerdy etc.) There has been some pretty cool interviews though, I enjoyed the latest one with Andy Samberg

NecronSchmecron posted:I honestly don't understand the criticism of "trying too hard to be nerdy." There are spectrums of nerdiness, I guess, but he seems genuine to me. I don't think he's an rear end in a top hat or anything. I'm not saying he's too cool to be a nerd, I just think he relies on mentioning something "nerdy" to get laughs. For instance he'll just randomly reference doctor who in the middle of a conversation for seemingly no reason other than "aren't I sooo nerdy?" He seems cool I just personally don't need someone to re-affirm how nerdy they are all the time. In general I have no problem with his brand of humor, I just find some of the forced "jokes" kind of annoying.

Sorry if I sounded like I was questioning his "nerd cred", in fact I mean exactly the opposite. I feel like he is a nerd and a lot of his reference jokes aren't really jokes as much as they're just ways for him to get free laughs/cheers. I listen to his podcast so obviously I like the guy, and I'm pretty sure I've laughed at plenty of the random reference jokes but the amount of times where it doesn't work for me is pretty high. (even though I am a fan of doctor who etc.) Also he grew up with Wil Wheaton edit: I feel like maybe if it were a live show I wouldn't notice it and would more than likely enjoy it. But on a podcast that I listen to twice a week it gets old, like one would get tired of someone who keeps repeating memes/catch phrases.
