Best Improv4Humans episode is the one with Adam McKay and Chris Gethard. That episode is just three dudes who are on loving point.

The arguing about Carmelo Anthony and all the callbacks to it were great.

I saw The Room well after it became A Thing, but I went to the first theater showing at a college town, so most people went in blind. The theater also banned the dumb spoon throwing..

Did Scott write the ad spot for the Pepsi ad, by the way? He sure does like using the phrase "Ear-hole," even before those spots showed up.

Here's my evidence that he didn't write them: Scott Aukerman is a really funny guy, even in the commercial spots he records.

It's kind of hard to judge after only an episode, but I loved Weiss and Nocando coming into it so Shots Fired will probably be fine.

Is it really good? I don't know much anything about it aside from one ad I heard that didn't get me super jazzed about it.

Yeah Weiss isn't very good at reading off the script but it's pretty informative and funny on the whole.

Listen to the last Best Of they did and listen to the segment of Eric interviewing people on Election Day.

Did Shots Fired ever get advertisement that wasn't for the Earwolf store or subscribing to iTunes or whatver? A hip hop show seems pretty easy to find advertisers for.

I can see why people don't like him, but I'm really digging @midnight. Watch it for the comedians, it's basically the same premise/show as Bunk, but it moves quicker and the bits are easier for the comedians to roll with.

I wish it were more of a panel style show, but I'll take what I can get. Maybe they could focus less on points and winning. I don't get why they eliminate funny comedians during the show, the best parts are when they're just riffing. I guess American TV networks just don't want that kind of programming.

American TV executives think Americans can't tolerate a British style panel show where there are no winners. I assume they think this for dumb reasons, like because the VH1 version of Never Mind The Buzzcocks failed.

Yes, why can't there be more panel shows where there are no winners like QI and Never Mind the Buzzcocks and Would I Lie to You? and Have I Got News for You. My favorite thing is that there are no winners. Only idiot Amerikkkans would demand that their quiz shows have winners and I'm glad the British haven't stooped to our abominably low level.

That's always been the stated reason, but I never bought into it. I mean Who's Line was a huge hit in America, no one cared about tangible points totals then. I think a couple of things flopped so executives took that as an indictment on all panel type shows.

Speaking of Comedy Central, any fans of Improv4Humans should really watch Key & Peele. I've thought for years that the sketches on that show often have a very UCBesque style (to the point that I suspect they're borne out of I4H-style improv sessions), and sure enough I just noticed Ian Roberts in the credits as head writer.

Not only is Ian Roberts the head writer, they have several former I4H guests on the staff, including Colton Dunn, Charlie Sanders, and Sean Conroy. That doesn't even get into the actors, but I definitely remember seeing Eugene Cordero playing a few bit parts.
