Season 1 DVD with audio commentary from Scott and characters from the show is out now! Season 2 DVD will be out June 24. I CAN'T loving WAIT! New season starts Thursday, May 8 at 10:30/9:30c on IFC after an ALL NEW Maron! If you don't have IFC, it'll probably be on iTunes or Amazon Instant or someshit. Comedy Bang Bang is a tv show based on a podcast based on a live stage show. It's a highly irreverent, often silly fake talk show that combines improvised "interviews" with scripted sketches. The interviews feature some of the funniest celebrities in existence - people like PEE-WEE loving HERMAN, Jon Hamm, Anna Kendrick, Andy Samberg, Andy Richter, Amy Poehler, Adam Scott, other people whose names begin with A and Zach Galifianakis - along with some of the funniest comedians in existence, such as Andy Daly, Paul F Tompkins, Bob Odenkirk and David Cross, playing characters the likes of whom you won't see anywhere else. I guarantee you've never seen anything quite like this show before. Hosting Comedy Bang Bang is Scott Aukerman, who is most well known for... probably this show. Or the podcast. But also being a writer on Mr. Show and producer and co-creator of Between Two Ferns with Zach Galifianakis. The latter of which recently just had Barack Hussein Obamacare as a guest! The show is co-hosted by Reggie Watts, comedy musician, music musician, marijuana enthusiast, and Weird Dude. He makes music using just his mouth and a looping machine. Here's a few of his music videos (may contain naughty language): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vftIGU8-uqs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJQU22Ttpwc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=344OpaQCAQI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0R982J8c4nA Remember when I said this tv show is based on a podcast? Well I'm going to talk about the podcast now! Comedy Bang Bang was originally called Comedy Death Ray, and it was also a live comedy showcase. The live show, which ended its ten year run last fall, was one of the most successful and influential live comedy shows of the past decade. In 2009, Scott Aukerman created a podcast which he hoped could be used to advertise for the live show, but it quickly grew into something much more. Comedy Bang Bang has since grown into one of the most popular and best comedy podcasts in an ocean of comedy podcasts. Think of any comedian or actor you think is funny and they've probably been on the podcast: Jon Hamm, Adam Scott, Amy Poehler, Paul F. Tompkins, Matt Besser, Rob Huebel, Tom Lennon, Zach Galifianakis, Patton Oswalt, Chris Hardwick, Doug Benson, “Weird Al” Yankovic, Andy Richter, Gillian Jacobs... I literally could go on for another page. The podcast is very similar to the television show, but it differs in that it's only the improvised “interview” portion of the show. It's also usually 1-1.5 hours long, so guests and characters alike are given much more room to breathe and time to develop into often very bizarre creatures. If you like the television show, you owe it to yourself to check out the podcast. A great way to get into the podcast is to listen to the Best of 2013 episodes (part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4). Yeah, it's a 4 parter! 2013 was possibly the best year of the show so far. Other than that, you can basically just pick any episode with a guest you like and it will most likely be good. Here are some recent favorites of mine: The 5th Anniversary Show! (Jessica St. Clair, Lennon Parham, Jason Mantzoukas, Lauren Lapkus, Matt Besser, Paul F. Tompkins, Paul Rust & Neil Campbell) Two Thumbs & Not Much Else (Ben Schwartz, Paul F. Tompkins) featuring one of my favorite jokes of all time: Herbie, Portrait of a Serial Killer Murderer Heaven (Rob Corddry, Paul F. Tompkins) Marissa Wompler's Birthday Pool Party LIVE (Jessica St. Clair, Lennon Parham, Jason Mantzoukas, Brian Huskey & Melissa Rauch) #TheWorldsEnd (Edgar Wright, Simon Pegg & Nick Frost) The Stallone Bros. (Paul Scheer, Nick Kroll) Veggie Dongs (Thomas Lennon, Rob Huebel & Neko Case) Blow Me Up, Tom! (Maria Bamford, James Adomian) Something for Everything (Reggie Watts, Neil Campbell) featuring the best freestyle rap in the history of the universe The Bed Spoiler (Amber Tamblyn, Todd Glass) What Does the Fonz Say? (Jimmy Pardo, Betsy Sodaro) Hollywild (Ben Schwartz, Horatio Sanz) Wow, I have a lot of favorites! I'm sure I forgot some but that list is pretty long as it is. If you like the podcast, come talk about it with us in the Comedy Bang Bang thread in the podcast forum Rapidly Going Deaf. Yeah, that's a thing! Here are some pictures taken behind the scenes, to give you a peak into how the show is made:   Up next:

I wonder if they'll air those over two years or if we'll really have 40 new episodes in 2015. That's three quarters of the year. Poor Scoot will be overworked. Let the man have some time to himself!

Let the man have some time to himself! He seemed pretty positive about it on NNF today. Maybe it just hasn't hit him yet. And I'm pretty sure it'll be over one year. Otherwise why call it all one season?

This episode made my crush on Anna Kendrick shift into full-blown love, while my full-blown man-love for Benny Schwaz continued apace. Did you know that Jesus was a carpenter?

From an interview with Scott and Reggie, it sounds like we're going to have a very short break between seasons 3 and 4:quote:So, you guys are doing 40 episodes next season. What's that transition gonna be like?

"Powering down for duration of boring comedy explanation." "Boy if I had a bitcoin every time I've heard that before." I got the season 1 DVD a while ago and I guess it was a worthwhile purchase but WOW the show has gotten so much better since season 1. It doesn't help that a lot of the characters on the commentary (which is the main reason to get it, other than to support the show) are all characters that are getting pretty long in the tooth on the podcast. I can't wait for the season 2 DVD.

I really hate the way that IFC's commercial structure staggers CBB's pacing. I didn't think you could get worse than the "Three and a half act" structure that The Simpsons had to adopt after the switch to HD or Archer switched to in season 3, but IFC's found a way. I understand the appeal - oh, here's a quick skit in the middle of a 2 minute commercial block to mess with DVR viewers - but it really makes this already frenetic show feel even more disjointed.

This episode didn't really do it for me. The detective thing didn't work as an extended bit.

Detective bit was okay but it took up too much time. They needed another sketch or something instead of that time when we spend like two sections in a row with Alexander, although I might be biased because the reality show parodies have become my favourite part of the show.

I kinda felt like they had the shorter detective bits to try to make room for the Calvins twins. I also think that interview may have been much longer but had to be cut down for time. Scott's question asking how many dead horses they have on their consciences seemed like a setup to go into the bit about figuring just how many horses have died, and instead it's cut down to just waiving off the question and setting up "You gotta laugh". If that was shot, I have to think that would have been a better use of time than the 4th detective bit with him trying to play 5 instruments at once and playing them all very badly. However, the detective bit got a good laugh out of me for the end of it, when he drops the accent and then takes the "Not so fast" posture, just to punch Scott with an Inspector Gadget arm and then just waiting for the police officer who's going to take him away, bragging to the cop about how he just punched Scott from the other side of the room.

I saw it coming as soon as they said Transylvania, but Comedy Fang! Fang! was the biggest laugh of the episode for me. The commercial break conversations Scott and Jenna Fisher were also fantastic. Otherwise, I agree that the detective story overstayed its welcome.

Best of the season so far. "UMP IN THE DUMP" was incredible, and Offerman/the SNL lady as Scott's neighbour were both funny as hell.

If you weren't aware, the season 2 DVDs come out next Tuesday. I just preordered it woop. Supposedly there's 15 (fifteen) hours of video extras. Which is just nuts. I wish I hadn't just rewatched season 2 right before season 3 started but oh well. There's commentaries to listen to!

I'm just catching last week's episode with Nick Offerman and beside it being hilarious, seeing Nick go apeshit in the earthquake movie clip was amazing. Dude needs more angry/dramatic roles.
