New AD episode is great but the one thing running through my mind was "Man, if Yogi's Gang broke their brains this much, imagine what Yo, Yogi! would do to them"

EDIT: That line about Yogi getting assassinated makes me wonder if the boys are familiar with this gem.

AD cartoons are short enough that I at least give them a half-watch in the background before I listen to the episode. Oh lord as soon as that loving squid thing showed up with its tentacles in the cake batter I knew they were going to flip out over it, and they absolutely delivered

Patreon eps do seem waaaaaay hornier than the main feed stuff. But they did warn me pretty early that they get pretty “blue” on the Patreon feed!


Oh and I guess midsommar is on prime now so I’ll finally get all those jokes from the summer/fall

What is Andrew referencing whenever he says "Catch 'em in bed with *blank*"?

Note, this is a Alex Jones video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FAXTafMVWWI

It is actually nice to think about how Alex Jones has kinda dissolved into the ether in the past year.

Thank you for this. I missed whatever the first joke was referencing, so I've been wondering what Alex Jones bit they were talking about for the longest time. And I certainly was not about to google "in bed with Alex Jones" to try and find out.

I"m listening to "The best and worst of 2011" from season 1, such a great episode listening to Eric recount Mr. Popper's Penguins is such a joy to behold.

Since they'll be on the 10 year rule next year, I'm kinda hoping they'll revisit a couple of these next season, to see if anything has really changed.

The latest episode on Doom 2005 brings back the Ventura impression and god help me if that never gets old. It always lands.

The plot of Doom 2005 is thin so the WHM hosts had to compensate with lots of tangents but it was still a great ep.

Yeah it was the Doom episode that sent me searching for more Ventura specifically. I can't believe he got to headline a movie!

The Doom episode is a joy. Really feels like they put their feet up and free-wheeled the jokes. David Bowie impressions were on point.

I was ready for all sorts of bad videogame takes, but completely ignoring Doom 3, the obvious main influence on the film in terms of monster/zombie design and walking through dark hallways, and the Pinky, was a bit jarring.

Great episode still, of course

I was shocked, SHOCKED, that nerds of any kind around the same age as me didn't play the ever loving gently caress out of Doom (outside of Cabin). That game was everywhere back in the day.

And yeah, not mentioning Doom 3 was a little off putting, but less people played that, so it wasn't super surprising.

I get this funky high on the yellow sun.

Haven’t listen to the ep yet, but I also feel like none of them were ever really PC gamers at all. They’ve talked tons about console poo poo when they were younger, but it at least would make a little sense if they were never into Doom growing up.

I didn't really play Doom. I had a mac, so we had Marathon, and by the time there was a port of Doom, Doom was very underwhelming

Ah, yeah, I had a good friend who played a poo poo ton of Marathon. Seemed like a pretty cool game, and wasn't it a precursor to Halo?

In a way yes, much like Halo, it had a story that you read through computer terminals. It also used a Z-axis, which Doom lacked.

I mean that it was actually produced by Bungie, who also made Halo. It was their first go around at an FPS.
