Comedy Podcasts: your suggestions please

but i dont mean like in a condescending tsk tsk way

listening to him & thinking about comedy + addiction

this is a stupid analogy but i keep thinking of cakes that are made to be like godzillas and cityscapes and are decorated amazingly & make you want to eat them but they are made of plywood & arent meant to be eaten. someone who makes you laugh almost by default is achieving a kind of intimacy & yet it's the one thing they cant hold onto & there's this yawning void inside that needs to be fed with something to settle the imbalance

& just, sad decisions & loneliness & accidents & idk it bums me out

Not exactly comedy, I guess, but Henry Rollins has his own podcast now. I just started the first episode and it's him and his female assistant (I guess?) just chatting, not at all what I expected.

Ha, seems perfect.

url?

yeah what is it called

I enjoyed the rapport he had with his assistant in the garbage can video. Will check this out

oh word, here it is

Only seem one mention of With Special Guest Lauren Lapkus on here. For me it's been a little hit or miss. I mean, always starts out funny, but sometimes feels like the premise can be hard to sustain. Anyway, this week's got Nick Kroll as the host and is a great ep to jump on.

If anything, the theme song is going on my EOY list.

First episode of Womp It Up was pretty good

second was much better.

ooh didn't realise there was a second, cool I loved the first one.

with Chris Gethard rather than Zouks or Morris or Huskey - introducing new characters/improvisers will keep the spin-off feeling worthwhile, hopefully

I typically do not like Moshe Kasher, but this is kind of funny—

loled, so great

sic, yeah that one was much better. I love Lennon Parham.

harris wittels' sister has written a piece about his death - it was such a tough read i couldn't finish it but here's the link for anyone who's interested: https://medium.com/@stephaniewittelswachs/the-new-normal-3a563665e15e

Just read that, in fact searched for this thread to post as well.

Very nice piece I thought.

one of the funniest things from the new u talkin u2 2 me is scott and scott having no idea who ta-nehisi coates is or how to pronounce his name

Oh man a spoiler while I'm currently listening to the episode.

Everyone is into "Hollywood Handbook" now, including me.

thread needs just a few more posts to get Harris's dick out of it

Lock thread in that case.

I am also into Hollywood Handbook.

how did he even come up?? (gonna listen tonight, probably.)

One of my favorite comedy podcasts is The Dollop

Dave Anthony (Maron) reads a crazy/bizarre/gross story from history to another comedian Gareth Reynolds, who is hearing the story fir the first time.

Caveat: it can get annoying bcz they are going for comedy over factual correctness & so its not necessarily much on learning or background research etc. Dave has mild dyslexia so his narrating is a bit awkward.

But it can be v v funny. The 10 Cent Beer Night and the BalloonFest episodes are great.

oh man that Ta-Nehisi Coates thing was cringe-inducing. Comedy people are pretty fucking ignorant.

to be fair, Scott did eventually pronounce the name correctly. but yeah.

I haven't heard the ep in question, but come on. It's Tanafhqwhgads Coat-ehs, how hard can it be? He's only the thinkpieciest thinkpiercer.

it was less the pronunciation but all the "is he a real guy or a computer program?" jokes.

But yeah they probably just pulled the number one title off Audible for their ad so whatever

Scott Thompson on Canadaland is worth a listen, not really a "comedy podcast" of course

One of my favorite comedy podcasts is The Dollop

Just listened to my first episode and I think I'm hooked. It was the Jade Helm episode, where they're riffing on the escalating ridiculousness of the conspiracy theories about the military simulation going on in Texas. Pretty great, although it'd be great to hear an impression of a conspiracy theory nut that didn't go immediately for a redneck voice.

lol definitely

Guys We Fucked is pretty awesome.

ty to veg for the recommendation of the dollop - it's fuckin great!

This week's I Don't Even Own a Television is a hoot. They cover _Flowers in the Attic_.

Also, the recent Marissa Wompler ep of CBB degenerates into a sublime mess where Jason Zooks is laughing so hard he just drops his character for 5-10 mins near the end.

love Zooks off mic laughing

This week's Hollywood Handbook is fantastic; Scharpling demonstrates that not being known as a potty mouth makes cursing a blue streak much more powerful.

Ooh! Can't wait!

The Diablo Cody episode was great. Granted, I haven't heard every single episode, but this is the first time I've ever heard them actually get angry at the author they're covering ("Fuck you, Diablo Cody!").

lol'd @ pft on nnf when joanne woodward came up "cracked the Watergate case...along with...the berenstein bears"

you mean berenSTAIN

Maybe he means Pro Football Talk, because Mike Florio actually IS the worst.

PFT is only funny when he's not convinced he's the most brilliant person in the room. Which is getting less common.

I listened to that Flowers in the Attic episode of I Dont Even Own a TV, it was really good! I hadnt heard of the podcast before

went back & tried the Michelle Remembers episode...ehhhh not so much

Have a couple of those on my mp3 thingy waiting to be listened to.

I love PFT but I tend to agree these days. He's gotten a little too comfortable with himself.

i like him, but enjoy him most in group ensembles like Thrilling Adv Hour/Superego etc

I'd rather pour bongwater in my ears while Marc Maron rattles on about his 26 year old f buddy than listen to that unfunny foppy motherfucker do the cake boss.

looool
