Comedy Podcasts: your suggestions please

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

cake boss!

I feel the same way about Patton Oswald

Patton isn't on 40 podcasts a week

I know, it was a non-podcast type observation

Yeah I'm kinda not feelin' Patton as much these days either. Guess this Saffron Herndon kid is all we've got left.

:/

hey! just found out the flop house guys read a letter from me on their most recent episode on vice

i was disproportionately psyched

speaking of Flop House, the San Fran episode featured a couple of people who are regulars on my favorite comedy pod, the Filmdrunk Frotcast.

friend of the Frot (and the guy behind the Shit My Dad Says twitter feed/subsequent short-lived TV show) Justin Halpern has a new 'cast too with a couple of comedy writer pals called Wild'n Out Without Nick Cannon, and it's been great so far.

xpost that's cool!! which one was yours?

it was the one about guardian of the highlands - probably would have been received better by the guys if they'd read it closer to when it was sent (september!) but it was still kinda cool to have elliott and stuart incessantly talking over dan reading out a letter i sent in

pretty sure i started listening to the show at your recommendation on this thread so thanks for the heads-up!

lool that was so funny! hooray for you & yr new fame :)

Tom Scharpling calling out Scott's terrible jokes on this week's CBB in a different manner than Mantzoukas usually does was great.

This week's episode was the annual Caramel Esposito / JW Stillwater pairing, there must be a b-b-b-bonus ep.

BG, congrats on the letter! I've been running backwards through all of the Flop House episodes over the past six months or so, I'm in the low teens now.

i dont like the non-elliott episodes, i skipped most of them

and i think i'm alone but i just really dont like hallie haglund as a guest. fans love her but she annoys me so much

The only guest who really killed it IMO was Wyatt Cenac. But if they're down a host they're definitely going uphill, Elliott, Stuart and Dan have great chemistry.
