WTF with Marc Maron (it's a podcast)

James Adomian is "Maron in Space":

Those Adomian bits are amazing.

haha

adomian is great

ug so not funny

why am i such a laffs-hating crank with scripted US comedy? so weird to me.

maybe if they were wearing dresses?

first full ep of MARON:

two point five stars from me, but i tend to hate scripted american comedy

I love scripted american comedy but that seems a little high

yeah, not great

he needs to NOT do the quiet sad sack thing...Louis CK has that cornered. the more manic side? i guess he can't make it about the real life show...hard to see where he'll go with this.

didn't kill, but if Mark/Kyle turns out to be the "format" of the show I think that has some promise.

have only seen a trailer of this so far but I am just gonna cautiously think of it as a downpayment on an absorbing confrontation with louis in a few years in which maron interrogates the discrepancies in their success

crossover ep probs

Dennis leary is in this? The guy who stole an entire hour of material from bill hicks? Fuck maron going after mencia and then this shit.

Maron mentioned on Howard Stern yesterday that Leary's production company was putting the show together (also noticed that Leary is credited with being an exec production) - guess he has to be on at least one episode.

I finally am listening to the Dick Van Dyke interview...goddamn I love him. How awesome that he got to know Stan Laurel and Buster Keaton! Looked old Stan up in the phone book of all things! So wonderful.

I've never seen the Dick Van Dyke Show before, so I started watching it on youtube. It's really funny, I'm enjoying it.

ifc show is p bad; the kid kyle(?) his lil nephew or w/e is a good actor tho

i haven't watched it yet, I'm kind of afraid.

we're going to this on Friday night - I'm guessing it'll be kind of like a longform standup? but I'm not sure. excited!

the ep with Dave Foley wasn't bad

I've never seen the Dick Van Dyke Show before

!!!

I am from the same county and have never seen it either

country

I guess American sitcoms from the 60s don't have much of an impact in the Australian tv landscape. Unless they do, and you all have just been getting the inferior ones.

limited opportunity for reruns in australia, we did have a lot of American tv shows when I was a kid but it was newer syndicated stuff like the Brady Bunch and Mork and Mindy and stuff like that.

I think older stuff like that wasn't available for worldwide syndication maybe? I am making all of this up so someone can plz correct me

god knows it would have been better than endless reruns of Keeping Up Appearances and Are You Being Served though ;_;

DVDS is on endless reruns on my Comcast cable pkg, has been for years now it seems

the first episode with the ducklings is cute as hell omg

tbh I don't think it was really in American syndication very much either, I think I first saw it as a kid/teen on a PBS affiliate actually. but even then I was struck by how quick and energetic all the jokes and schtick are, and I tend to hate sitcoms.

The big three from the post-Honeymooners pre-Brady Bunch era, for me at least, are Dick Van Dyke, I Love Lucy and Andy Griffith. I could watch them all over and over (and have done just that) and still laugh every time.

hm well we did have I Love Lucy, so I didn't miss out completely

phew.

In the latest Doug Loves Movies podcast, Maron goes off on Kumail Nanjiani like a Detective Columbo of Irritation. Brilliant theater piece actually.

xpost DVD was the 30 Rock of its time (with Your Show of Shows = SNL)

I love all the Maron sniping Sam Seder does on his podcast

I watched an episode or two of I Love Lucy when I was a kid and thought it was terrible

In the latest Doug Loves Movies podcast, Maron goes off on Kumail Nanjiani like a Detective Columbo of Irritation. Brilliant theater piece actually.

This is indeed great, and has an amazing payoff during the Leonard Maltin Game

So is there any reason for me to keep listening to the Sam Simon one? Or does he get all of his racist shit out of the way early with his "fat black people" smoke pot bit? Way to do a nearly complete destruction of me sympathy for you dude.

Yeah, that guy came off as a total prick, he even admitted it more or less. the pot smoking thing was jaw dropping.

tweet beef w/ michael ian black

i love those two beefing. golden gloves

ha ha i've had an ongoing debate with a friend about the MIB ep of WTF, where i side with MIB and think that maron was being a dick and she sides with maron and thinks that MIB was being a dick. that's what happens when two comedians with dick personas get together i guess.

i want them to have a tv series like the Odd Couple together. they're great

awww andy with his ooooo! <3<3

^^ otm

wow, is that twitter spat 'funny'? 'i got it at the charity shop lol' fucking hell

actually im gonna bail on this thread, comedy podcasts ffs

im with DY on this one. reminds me of cher's 'no its your designer imposter perfume' zing at amber from clueless. funny for high school but embarrassing for middle aged men. the way these fools get upset at any perceived slight is a huge red flag for paranoid psychopathy imo. and by these fools i mean most comedians

if you've even listened to only a handful of WTF episodes, you should know how incredibly insecure of sociopathic comedians are. not really a surprise to see 49 year-old comedians in a pissy twitbeef.

of = and, i'm exhausted

but it's also a persona they both put on whenever they talk to each other. like this is just kind of, i dunno, sport, for them.
maron does the same thing with Josh Malina now and then, it's funny.

i get a kick out of it. idk.
