Anyone else been listening to Hollywood Handbook? It's pretty consistently great. This week, Sean and Hayes were the "guests" for the episode. Died laughing on at least 3 occasions. Easily.my favourite Earwolf show after CBB.

I like it a lot. Sad to hear it's so unpopular. The show reminds me of the goofy ass radio shows I'd do with my brother on a tape recorder, except executed with orders of magnitude more talent.

I know I shouldn't take anything they say at face value, but it took them a good while to get real ads on the show, so I guess I kinda believed that stuff was coming from a real place.
The little "rivalry" with the Wolf Den is great. I also like how they often get different guests than a lot of the other Earwolf podcasts. They're not always great, but I appreciate the variety.

Someone in this thread got me listening to Hollywood Handbook and it's definitely got some funny stuff. A duo w/ two eccentrics and no straight man can get to be a bit much at times, but Sean and Hayes are able to pull it off for the most part. I think it works best when the guest plays the straight character, but it doesn't always work out.

I will say I've got the god damn "I am the very model of the modern Major-General" Pirates of Penzance song stuck into my head thanks to this week's episode.

brendon small is too goddamn funny. and borstein was a great first timer, game for anything but not overeager.

that's a good podcast!

I can definitely see where it wears but I think it works most of the time because Hayes plays the straight man of the two within the characters.

Mmm yes I could go for a cheeseburger sandwich as well.

Listened to a couple of the Earpop podcasts. I Was There Too was good, but I love PFT and Gourley's great so that's no surprise. Hopefully they can get some great bit part actors once all his comedy acquaintances have dried up though. Listened to about half of The Canon, but I feel like the guy is just spending all his time trying to shout down the woman rather than having an actual debate. He's basically just saying "you're wrong it's actually great" a lot. Not sure I'm digging it.

I haven't listened yet but Faraci can be like that as a critic sometimes. Knowing he and Nicholson are good friends in real life might soften that sentiment a bit. (and honestly while I haven't listened I know I heavily disagree with Amy saying Goodfellas isn't good!)

I enjoyed the last segment of I4h this week. I don't always agree with matt besser but I always like hearing his point of view on things, he seems like a really intelligent guy.

The third Wahlberg Solution was quite funny. Richard Dreyfuss as a huge sleaze bag. Almost bordering on Adomian's territory.


As for Wolfpop,

Happy Sad Confused was quite good.
Too early for I Was There Too since PFT is a ringer. Looking forward to listening to the Aliens Marine one later today.
Malton on Movies was good but Baron Vaughn was super rough.
Reading Aloud bored me to death.
And I'm not sure about The Sylvester Stallone Show yet. Going to give it a few weeks.

I keep mistyping wolfpop and wolfpoop. The .com hasn't be registered yet...
Very tempted.

Not really earwolf-related, but this is probably the best thread to ask: what do you guys think of The Birthday Boys show? I think season 1 is on netflix. Season 2 started recently and there have been some pretty good sketches, imo. The metric I use for sketch comedy is a ratio of good bits to bad ones, usually bailing on any show that has less than 50/50.

I'd say The Birthday Boys is at like 75/25 or maybe 70/30. Plus Chloe Bennet was in this weeks episode, so bonus points there :)

I loved last season, and this season has been even better. I really like that they're doing a theme with each episode.

Yeah I think sketch shows with some kind of hook work better than ones that are just a compilation of sketches. The ongoing "themes" (which are really just recurring sketches that occasionally intersect) help gel the show together, although I thought they did that in the first season, too.

The "how do you freshies?" has been my favorite, this season.

Chelsea Peretti is on this week's CBB.

I still have 20 minutes to go but...it's a bit of a dud ep. Easy listen, Chelsea is funny as always and Seth's character is interesting but never really evolves. Scott seemed kinda off. Decent hangout ep.

CBB best of voting has now begun though, time to start rankin them eps

The conversation with chelsea was the highlight. Everything after was meh for me.

Although Seth's character constantly trying to talk about quick books and quicken was hilarious.
 
Can't say I'll be disappointed if that particular Seth Morris charac never comes back.

Still, always nice to have Chazz on the show. Just watched her standup special and it's great.

Glad I wasn't the only one bored by Seth's charac. Scott and Chaz had such a great rapport going and I was disappointed to hear them change gears.

much as I love Scott, I felt like it was...kinda his fault for Seth's character being so boring. normally Scott forces the charac guest into yes-anding on something crazy after establishing the base of the character. here seth set up "former foley artists who makes ASMR youtube videos" and then it never went further because Scott kept bringing it back to quicken. which, kinda funny for 10 minutes. it ate up 40
 
Every time this thread gets bumped I get excited by the prospect of a new UTU2TM being out.

Fuck!

U2 is on Fallon everyday this week, hopefully that'll be enough to get them to make a new episode.

Chelsea was great as always. I actually attended the show at UC Berkeley she was talking about on the podcast...Got overly excited when she brought it up.
 
Trying to think of my favorite CBB ep of the year.

Probably either the Victor and Tiny episode with Jonah and Kumail or the first Claudia O'Doherty episode.

Ooh, or the Andy Samberg/Todd ep.

GOD SO MANY GREAT EPS!

Todd needs to stop watching Vegi-Tales!
 
This week's Hollywood Handbook with Paul Scheer was just fantastic. I'd totally watch "So I married an Van Helsing: A Skellington's Kiss"

Well....eeeeeeeeet's Hollywood facts, and we're going downtown.......
 
I can't listen to MBMBaM in public anymore. I laugh like a lunatic every single time I put on an episode and I'm pretty sure I'm getting weird stares. What a delightful way to ruin my image.

Hah yeah the concept of the show took me a second to grasp. Seems like it's basically ADPPP where Lapkus visits someone else's fake show each week. Sounds great to me!

I was so confused by the name of the show, but the concept is PERFECT. So happy Lapkus has her own show now.

EDIT: Dying at the "cut this out" stuff.
EDIT2: This podcast is hilarious. PFT and Lapkus are a great team.

Hmm time to check out this "Earwolf Presents". Matt Walsh and Horatio Sanz are awesome. Haven't heard anything from Chris Kattan since that god damn Corky Romano trailer. "You guys want some cookieees?". *cringe*

Horatio Sanz has lost a lot of weight, I didn't realise. Good for him. Will check out the podcast on the EP feed and see if it's worth subscribing proper.

The Hooray Show was amazing. I feel like a complete idiot for not getting the title before listening to it.

I'm not sure if I'm imagining things but I had complete deja vu with the show. I'm not sure if Horatio has done this style of podcast before but I swear I've heard this style of show before.


Oh yeah, and there are some new paid episodes of CBB.

9$ for four shows.

2014 Comedy Bang Bang Live Show Bundle

Scott's took CBB back out on the road for an abbreviated tour in 2014, and you won't want to miss out on a moment! Each of the 4 live shows are hilarious and include stops at the Festival Supreme, New York City, and Chicago. Each live recording will also be individually available in the store for $2.99.

Don't want to be a hater, but I really don't like the music episodes of i4h. :(

And since Never Not Funny is associated with Earwolf now, they do a live show/telethon to raise money for Smile Train. This year it will be streaming on the VPN youtube channel for 12+ hours of comedy gold.

Runs Noon til midnight PST today. (Starts eight hour after this posting)

I feel like there should be a thread for that, but I'm far too lazy to make it.
