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. Its just weird hearing Doug sing the praises of Comedy Death Ray when the styles of the two podcasts are so completely different.

I guess I just don't like people playing characters on radio/podcasts. When I listened to the Adam Carolla podcast I skipped any episode with Van Stone or that fake Republican guy. I like it when people are funny being themselves

Okay, I may have misjudged Comedy Death Ray. I downloaded a show from July with Paul F. Thompkins, Todd Glass and a character named August Lindt, a german tourist. That was utterly hysterical. So, that's 1 for 2. Anyone have any suggestions for specific CDR shows to catch?

The_Rob posted:Brett Gelman reading I-Brain continues to be one of the funniest things I have ever heard, and the play was so goddamn funny. I had to pause a few times, because I kept missing things. What surprised me the most was that Little Gary remained funny for the whole show. I could listen to him mispronounce things all day. Also Patten Oswalt is the smartest stand-up in the business.

red19fire posted:I used to love The Adam Carolla Podcast, but the new format kills me. It strikes me as hypocritical, considering how much he used to rant about how awful morning radio shows are, that the new format is essentially morning radio. What were once great podcasts of hour long interviews has essentially become a morning radio show with insipid 20 minute interviews, constantly interrupted by idiotic news stories from Florida and fart sounds from the soundboard. He does tend to poo poo on everyone around him, because he's THE ONLY PERSON IN THE UNIVERSE WITH COMMON SENSE. The hour long interview format got on my nerves because Adam's attention span is too short and he ends up spinning off into rants about his loathesome politics. He always griped about being confined by the radio format, but honestly without some structure, he's virtually unlistenable.

WoG posted:Yeah, an hour of ~75% adam was too much adam. Far better to have 90+ mins of 99% adam. EDIT: And again, the morning show had more stuff in it. It had like 2 news segments that bookended the show, and in between it had some great segments. I stand by it, but it takes all kinds. You can't judge. In other news: I just listened to the latest CDR, and its won me over. I'm sorry I doubted it. The Cake Boss is one of the funniest things I've ever heard, period. Was that Paul F. Tompkins?

Borrego posted:Man I just can't get into Adam Carolla ever since I first heard the 3rd episode of the Nerdist. Adam went off about Rankin Bass and Hanna Barbara and overreacted for well over 15 minutes on how evil and disgusting the cartoons and their creators are. Chris Hardwick and his 2 cohosts just seemed shocked about the whole thing. They even mention about it briefly in the Drew Carrey episode I think. Is this some sort of bit he does or is he generally this unlikable?

The only song that CDR played that ever really made me laugh was one where a guy was playing an acoustic guitar and singing a soft, breathy song and gradually falls asleep because of how dull his own music is, and eventually falls off his chair. Johnathan Coulton on Nerdist was good stuff. He and Hardwick have great chemistry.

Nick Swardson was hilarious on Doug Loves Movies. Though I was literally screaming at my iPod when he didn't get Back to the Future III in the Leonard Malton Game. Also I did not know that David Holmes is gay.

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 hope one day TAL does an episode that's just a compilation of Birbiglia's bits because they're my favorite (along with Hodgeman).

Oh man Zach Galifianakis is the best guest because he is also the worst guest. Half the time he does any sort of performance, including his stand-up, he's doing Kaufman schtick and is intentionally difficult and self-loathing. He has an amazing stand-up special which is him drunkedly bombing intercut with a interview with his gay twin brother (also played by Galifianakis) about their estranged relatioship. Also PFT really sells those impressions.

The Midget bait and switch on DLM was spectacular. The "Jackass Alums" category in the Len Malton game was also great. "...So it's really just Johnny Knoxville movies."

Were people saying that Mike Birbiglia was boring on Nerdist? Because I'm really enjoying this show. Even though he does talk like he just downed a bottle of Quaaludes.

I finally queued up the CDR with Cosby-Bukowsky. On the one hand I feel like I'm missing part of the self-explanatory joke of the character, but on the other hand I really don't care.

Steve Slavery posted: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. Adam needs to go back to carpentry or yelling at teenagers to wear condoms because that's literally all he's qualified to do. That or get someone like Dr Drew back on his show as a check to his raging ignorance.

I just listened to my first Uhh Yeah Dude yesterday, show 243. You all were saying you have to listen to them from the beginning but I keyed into their humor and chemistry immediately, and it was pretty great. Them talking about axe/tag body spray had me in hysterics.

Okay can someone tell me which CDR episodes have Bob Ducca in them? I keep reading these descriptions and I've found I have to start skipping them because I don't want to have all the jokes ruined for me. EDIT: Also I listened to the 09 Black Friday episode with Michael Cera and Harris Whiten. Ice-T is probably my favorite character now.

He's also been very liberal in the past on gay rights and birth control. He was pretty well on the left during Loveline, and then he became a (literal) millionaire and immediately transitioned to being an economic conservative.

I have a strange relationship to (Andy Daly's?) Huel Hauser. He was hilarious at first, and then he sorta got old for me, but now I realize the true, maniacal genius of the impression: he's created a distilled essence of the person, a character whose entire world view boils down to "If you give someone a microphone they will talk into it" and "California is full of gold, and it is fascinating!" Whenever he delves into race relations its pretty hilarious too.

I didn't know that Thomas Lennon was the voice of Lil Gary until his last appearance. I'm still stunned whenever I hear it. I'm glad that the John Hamm vs John C. Reilly Acting-Off won for best PFT moment. The part that kills me each time is when John C. Reilly's turn starts and Doug Benson immediately interrupts him, forcing him off on a winding tirade. Kramer-Fonzie needs some work though. Lot of Kramer, not much Fonzie.
