Comedy Podcasts: your suggestions please

Harris Wittels in my head looks like Jonathan from Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

do you watch Parks & Recreation? he plays Harris from Animal Control on that

I dug James Adomiam as Gary Busey on the new CBB. It took me awhile to realize that "David Wain's Dad" really was David Wain's dad.

The Lasertime Podcast, where they deconstruct the two albums the Simpsons put out.

I want to thank y'all for introducing me to comedy bang bang. Only listened to a few so far but I've found them to be pretty hilarious.

I'm liking Probably Science

Comedy Bang Bang this week is insane.

Andy Daly is the guest, and there are several times where Scott & Jason Manzoukis violently try to keep it together and lose.

jason mantzoukas is always a great guest on CBB. some guests fade into the background once the character is introduced but he seems to really enjoy engaging with the characters, always asks lots of questions and gets involved. the part where scott started singing "wipeout" and no one would let him break from it had me crying with laughter on the train home. the last time he was on had a different andy daly character and it was also amazing (http://www.earwolf.com/episode/honorary-mayor-of-hollywood/).

The most recent bang bang with the cowboy poetry just slayed me.

not a super-huge andy daly fan, think he relies too much on "going dark" every single time. my friend played me some of his album and yeah it was just too much andy daly for me. obviously classic on eastbound & down though.

I love this Andy Daly routine

and usually good on CBB too - think i just need him bouncing off of other people instead of just doing monologues.

love mantzoukas

i've tried to watch the league because friends love it but mantzoukas' character is literally the only thing about it that makes me laugh and it's not a regular character so i don't bother

oh i didnt even know he was on that

not until s2 i think, and only sporadically after that

did anyone watch the preview of the CBB tv show the other week? kinda curious how it's going to turn out

I like these looser, almost half-assed Comedy Bang-Bangs. The new one with Bobby Moynihan as a murderous street urchin and ALW's remake of "Candle in the Wind" was pretty great.

i have been devouring these for 3 weeks. it'll be weird when the big glut of old CBB podcasts are all listened to and i have to wait weekly for new ones to come out

xp otm i really enjoyed that

The ep of the Todd Glass show with James Adomian, where he breaks into his impression of bizarro Tom Leykis

never having heard of Tom Leykis before, that half an hour or so was p much squandered Adomian for me

Newest CBB is pretty amazing. It would be nice if Bobby Moynihan would just play David Sedaris as a CBB recurring character.

1st free 20 min of the tom arnold never not funny is worth hearing lol

Ronna & Beverly funny as hell on Who Charted

Talking about the difference different media types see in the value of podcasts, where trad newsmedia couldn't make them float, but smaller outings usually can

Where even Jesse Thorn shows up to comment.

Saw James Adomian's show tonight in portland, where he was recording his album. Great stuff, but it's fuckin' eerie to actually see him doing the Jesse Ventura voice live.

that's awesome. Adomian doing Ventura (and Busey, Huell Howser, etc.) is kind of why I prefer podcasts to stand-up-- on CBB the characters get to bounce off one another.

Seeing Nick Kroll do all of his characters on camera is a little odd.

Bridgetown Comedy Fest starts tonight in Portland; there's something like 8+ podcasts recording here this weekend

Met Jordan Morris, who stood right next to me for the last show tonight! And James Adomian(again!)! And Weirdest Kulap(who's taller than you'd expect)!

hit me two times

ugh i get that song in my head all the time

tunes

Comedy Film Nerds is taping tonight, with Garofalo as the guest

And I find Graham far more compelling as a podcaster and DLM contestant than stand-up

Doug Loves Movies also here this weekend.

The CBB outtake w/ Leo Allen and Will Forte is pretty good. You can see why Aukerman hesitated before putting it out - the wackiness is low key, there are NO characters - but it's still very fun.

Haven't heard the Seth Morris/Ed Helms ep released earlier in the week yet.

Shows this weekend:

Comedy Film Nerds
Who Charted?
Improv4Humans

Improv was the best one to see live. I sat front row center and got one of my suggestions in, plus they mentioned my Michigan shirt.

Who Charted had Brett Gelmen and Brody Stevens at 3pm on a Saturday, and everybody was high or drunk or hungover or tired or all five.

CFN had Garofalo as a guest, and Doug Benson showed up to do the Maltin game at the end.

I had no idea what half these guys actually looked like until this weekend. Brody Stevens doesn't look anything like I imagined.

And Janeane Garofalo is tiny; like 5'1" tiny.

The Morris/Helms CBB was pretty rough.

most recent CBB was pretty funny. somehow harris wittles and the character of marissa wompler always make me laugh.

marissa wompler is one of my faves, too bad jessica st. clair's tv show is already cancelled. i enjoyed the new hipster experimental musician character, which per a/v club was also nick kroll (in addition to chupacabra and baby).

Www.lasertimepodcast.com is my rec for the week

hitchens hologram was awesome

hitchens hologram was awesome

YES. Adomian's timing and sheer speed of Hitchens-speak is amazing.

harris wittels kinda kills me & wompler is sorta surprisingly always good

i listened 2 zach g on sklarbro cty & laffed a lot

Zach's attempt at a live-read was great.

womp it up

adomian is next level with that Jesse Ventura and Hitchens stuff. It really is a wonder to behold.

Try seeing it live, if you can. He did characters every night of Bridgetown a few weeks back.
