WTF with Marc Maron (it's a podcast)

That ep totally reminded me of having a sketchy looking dude pull up next to you at the bar and you give him the side-eye like, "what is this guy's deal". Four hours later your still listening to him reel off story after story.

self flag post for "your/you're" abuse

Florentine's ep is pretty heavy towards the end. I really only know the guy from That Metal Show, so this is all a surprise.

lol @ mark in that ep "im just getting into tool"

ugh i was not into dean delray. on the other hand i'm cool with maron interviewing as many chefs as he wants.

‏@marcmaron
People who fanatically follow a guy who claims to not be a 'follower' are followers. And that guy always has a great act!

‏@LarryTate7 2h
@marcmaron Where is the punch line in that?

‏@marcmaron 2h
@LarryTate7 You're the fucking punchline, stupid.

@marcmaron 2h
Didn't mean to get the @RealAlexJones 'followers' all worked up. Let me know when you get it all figured out. You're all so close.

hmm
anyway i listened to today's show preamble about the shutdown steel works and god throwing lightning and again thinking 'THIS FUCKING GUY' and just started dreading what would happen in the UYD interview but the interview was pretty great in the end.

yeah I like Maron when he's running at that chilled out speed

Playing catch-up again and was kinda dreading the Rob Schneider because I think he's pretty unfunny. He had me won over at first, he actually seemed like a decent dude, but then he had to go and keep doing his "hilarious" Chinese accent

seriously? Jesus Christ

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

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

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
