This had me laughing.

I don't remember the Star Trek one, but I assume the joke is that they were saying "My ___" to everything except "Worf"?

Tim Heidecker was on the episode to promote his Star Trek stand-up routine or something, and they were stealing his bit.

Just FYI guys but the CBB TV show from IFC got added to Netflix Instant. It's a dramatically different format from the podcast but it keeps the same sense of humor and works even better. You're depriving yourself of Scott Aukerman's best material by not watching it.

I think "lots of shared personalities" is overselling it, Kristen Schaal/Andy Kindler were on one episode apiece.

Yeah, but there's also Eugene Mirman, Dan Mintz, PFT, Jerry Minor, Sarah Silverman and others. Not that show's use of "My Wife" has anything to do with CBB, but every CBB fan should definitely watch it.

I don't watch the show or anything, I didn't know the former two were on CBB at some point and the latter three were on Bob's Burgers.

Someone in TVIV tried to say that CBB tv is "anti-comedy" that's trying not to be funny. A show that starts with Scott saying his name and "Stop Tacoman" comes up on the lower third.

I mean, there are definitely significant anti-comedy elements to Aukerman's sense of humor, though. I definitely wouldn't say the show as a whole is anything but offbeat comedy but he, personally, does sort of have an anti-comedy bent that's wrapped in the trappings of very jokey comedy.

Conduit for Sale!

I probably shouldn't have used the word "anti-comedy" because I added that but he was arguing that the show is trying not to be funny and that's what's "funny" about it. A show where Harris Wittels says "Look, I'm sorry I slept with your sister. Now put mom on the phone."

I watched like 15 minutes of the first episode (or some episode, I think IFC had one up before the premier on their website or something) and I really didn't like what I saw. It seemed so stilted and awkward and, well, just not very funny. I haven't watched anything since then, does it get better?

I've watched a few of the streams they've done and put on youtube the last few weeks and found those to be hilarious, so I'm thinking I just like the improv nature of the podcast perhaps?

I did not like the first episode. And I don't think it was a case of the show finding it's feet either. Because I don't believe the episodes were aired in the order filmed. But a few episodes in I was sold and by the end I needed more.

Yeah the Amy Poehler episode was clearly the pilot, because for one clips of it were up on IFC months and months before anything else, and for two he introduced the premise of the show. In the Zach Galifianakis episode they started with the "we went to a sunglasses store and bought ibuprofen" joke. Which is a weird way to start a series.

I still think that Galifianakis episode is funny, if only for National Treasure Thomas Lennon as the sommelier and Zach trying to imagine a dog talking. But yeah the Jon Hamm episode is where the show really hit its stride.

The pilot was the Adam Scott episode. You can tell pretty easily. It even looks a bit different than the other episodes.

Yeah, that opening bit was a little awkward, but I laughed my rear end off at "We'll be right bark" and also when Scott was naming all the dead fat comedians.

I agree with epitasis that it would be better classified as "off-beat" than "anti-comedy". Maybe I don't understand the definitions correctly, but I consider "anti-comedy" to be when the joke is that the performer is trying not to be funny, often aggressively. I don't usually enjoy this style. For CBB TV I think you just need to be in the mood for goofy humor, or have the appropriate number of bong hits in you.

I have three questions about the TV show:

1) Is the humor on-beat?
2) Is it reverent?
3) Are the jokes expected?

There's no such thing as anti-comedy. It's a word journalists use when they need to meet a deadline or a word comedy fans use when they dislike something but don't want to acknowledge other people might legitimately like it.

Gilly + PFT followed by Zooks + Andy Daly is just too much.

Has Zooks been on with the Wompler before? I know they were on How Did This Get Made, but ever since Jessica St. Clair explained on Who Charted that they went to college together, I've wanted to see them together in more stuff.

They were together on an Earwolf Presents of Wompler's show, where Jason played Gutterballs the sound engineer. http://www.earwolf.com/episode/the-christmas-womptacular/

It's not just the vocal mimicry. The character doesn't seem strongly based on PSH. Maybe I haven't been keeping up with him, but since when is PSH so angry and prone to outbursts?


edit: the last 20 minutes of this episode is gold, though
