Comedy Podcasts: your suggestions please

I figured it definitely would be! I added you to the FB group too :)

I saw that - thank you!

Do we have a thread for promotin' our own podcasts yet?

woah, ahmed best is on the new episode of i was there too to talk about playing jar jar binks? bet he's got some fun/awful stories to tell...

That ILM podcast thread seems to be mostly about music (as an ILM thread would be); I'd be interested in hearing about kingfish's podcast.

Mine is here: http://www.soundcloud.com/givingthemic

It's called "Giving the Mic to the Wrong Person"

Lately we've been doing group convos dragging on online fan culture from a leftist perspective, but previous episodes had me talking to various people about their cultural obsessions, from Go to "The Crow"

New live Dollop about Terri Hoffman & the Texas Hypnocult is fuuuuucking bananas

also Matt from Chapo Trap House was a guest on the Dollop live Detroit episode about Henry Ford
(His "Karl Barks" joke was A+)

I'm catching up - just started the Hypnocult one - but the Welfare Queen ep is also crazy as hell. Also super disheartening to learn that one sociopathic person basically set a precedent that destroyed welfare in the US.

the stats on mainstream newspaper coverage of welfare during 60s - 80s that Dave rattles off at the end of that ep were enraging iirc

i just started that episode

If you like PFT and don't mind Hollywood Handbook, the recent ep with him is pretty entertaining. Especially the opening parodying Spontaneanation.

...and if you love Hollywood Handbook and don't mind PFT?

I don't know, man, that's a worldview so foreign to me it's like The Arrival or something.

3,000 Scharpling fans can't be wrong

i love hollywood handbook

Hollywood Handbook is the fucking best

speak more on that

that's dope, that's dope

(btw sean was a writer or something on the recently cancelled show 'making history' (and played a college dean in a very small role) and in one of the most recent episodes adam pally's character said 'that's dope, that's dope' several times)

I guess Cum Town hasn't been discussed in this thread? I find it pretty consistently entertaining and occasionally amazing. Lately they've been doing these west coast eps with Nick and two other comics instead of Adam and Stav and they lack some of the trademark juvenility that Adam and Stav bring, but I still enjoy them.

there's some talk about it on the chapo thread

yeah, I thought I remembered talking about it somewhere on ilx

I just tried to listen to the dollop (Christian episode) and couldn't really get into it. The two guys didn't really strike me as good comedians, it was more like hanging out with the *funny guys* at the office.

which one is the christian episode?

idk, maybe they're not yr taste? nbd. but imo they are funny comedians

I gotta check this out! i really loved the grinder, i think i actually watched it through 2-3 times (i have done that with almost zero shows ever), especially towards the end where rob lowe basically starts talking like the old hollywood handbook opens (so there i was with robert.... deniro, and--)

idk, maybe they're not yr taste? nbd. but imo they are funny comedians

gareth reynolds is one of the quickest-witted comedians working today, i think, and dave anthony does a great job of bringing the best out in him - they're a great team

man alive, if you want to try another dollop there are a few recommendations for all-time-bests upthread iirc, but yeah maybe it's just not gonna be your bag

i've got a big backlog of dollops to work through since i spent the last six weeks or so shotgunning episodes of the greatest generation, the star trek:tng podcast by two guys who are a bit embarrassed to have a star trek podcast, which mirrors my relationship with the show perfectly

making history is not as great as the grinder but still has some laughs, especially from neil casey and john gemberling playing samuel adams and john hancock

Xp Christman episode, rather.

The Eugenics episode of the Dollop was crazy. At least to someone like me who had no idea how widespread these kind of ideas were in early 20th century USA.

Judge Roy Bean was almost like a Dollop parody, like there's no way this was an actual person lol

I'm behind on Dollops but thankfully (I guess) I have a murderous cold so I can catch up.

xxxx-ing p's I've just been really getting into Hollywood Handbook so excuse my dumbness above, it's really good.

cumtown fuckin suxx

my problem with the Dollop is how often they seem to be reading straight from the wikipedia entry or something - I don't get that the hosts (especially the guy who's supposed to be responding instead of reading) are even vaguely knowledgable or interested in history or the topics.

That's fair - I think some topics interest Dave more (lately anything that can be summed up with "Don't Trust The Whites") and he does more work coming up with material, sometimes he just relies on Gareth and his own reactions to carry the weaker stuff.

my only beef with the Dollop, or Dave specifically is how hard he leans into the racist stories when he's trying to make a point about SEE IT'S JUST LIKE HOW IT IS TODAY NOTHING HAS CHANGED etc. He makes a point of saying the n-word etc because it's in the quotes but I'm like, dude, who is this FOR. yourself? it's such a bad look. it weirds me out.

Greatest Generation is awesome. Very much the kinda show one just endlessly shotguns down once you first take a listen

The Dollop book is out in bookstores, judging from a shopping trip last night

xxp definitely agree on both points.

I just listened to the Hollywood Handbook music episode and I was LOLing while driving and coughing. Peaches -> Corporations -> Colin was pretty amazing.

Greatest Generation is awesome. Very much the kinda show one just endlessly shotguns down once you first take a listen

yeah, it's great - i've just caught up to the current episode and listening to the recurring jokes pile up over a compressed period was really fun

This weeks Spontaneanation

It's not the funniest ep but the Dollop about Uber is incredible. I don't use it so I was totally unaware of how incredibly evil they are.

yeah that one was p crazy

i like pf tompkins' own (quiet, wry) stuff tho

I love cbb
