    Wow. That was a battle. Two dud characters from one guy in one show. I can't believe I've come onto a thread slating Jimmy Pardo and saying Paul Brittain was great?! Did i hear a different show? It's a bad sign when Scott calls your character a boring waste of time on the show!

     

    But I thought the Explosione family was an complete failure too, so maybe I just don't get the guy.

     

    Jimmy and Scott did the best they could.

     

    For me, I have taken a liking to Paul's understated characters. His schtick seems to be not acting outrageous or over the top like most of the characters on CBB. His characters' simple manner of speaking (like when the Explosione family is discussing their large muscles) and funny names, for example, I find hilarious. I can see why people are not totally on board, though.

     

    As for Pardo, I think a lot of people (including myself) are not completely sold on him because he doesn't fit as naturally in the Earwolf universe. In my opinion, his style of comedy/hosting fits more in the radio/shocking disc jockey style medium.

    Whenever we get around to compiling the definitive list of 'Scott's Best Questions'

     

    (and it's the main reason I joined the forums),

     

    I pray "you just set down your skateboard. How many wheels on that thing?" gets a solid placing somewhere in the teens.

     

    Scott's best question will always be : "How much money do you make?"

    IShelly Driftwood got a job at the Porsche-Maserati-Volkswagen dealership by telling the owner that his wife was having sex with an electrician who later died from electrocution installing a hot tub at O.J.’s house.

     

    Holy shit, that had to have been the most convoluted and fucking hilarious "story" I've heard from any character on CBB.

    Never was the biggest Horatio fan but I found this week's stuff to be just excruciatingly bad. I skipped over large chunks of it, I found it so unpleasant and tasteless.

     

    If you are looking for more of an understated performance from Horatio, I would check out his appearance at this year's SXSW where he plays Kanye West.

    This was one of my favorite things Earwolf has released this year. The episode had its fair share of black dick and cum jokes, but I thought some of the more serious discussion (about Letterman and Ozzie) was fascinating and delightful, and deviated more from the non-stop silly and outrageous humor Earwolf podcasts usually provide.

    Anytime I hear Ben on most podcasts or see him as a guest on a talk show, I'm struck by how he seems like such a nice, normal, polite young man who turns into a complete lunatic in the presence of Scott Aukerman.

     

    I feel the same way with Lapkus. If you listen to her appearances on Who Charted or other interviews, she seems like a very normal, down to earth young woman. Around Scott, she is a filthy, vulgar mongoloid

    Am I the only one who has seriously been missing the Woody Allen Entourage bit? Iiiiiiits been plenty long enough since he cut down his use of it to unleash it now that the Entourage movie is out

     

    I was hoping Scott and a guest would do a Earwolf special where they watched the movie and shit on it akin to an Analyze Fish. I need more of the Murphy Group in my life

    Actual real quotes I have removed from the Earwolf forums include:

    • "Should I feel bad for wanting to fuck [female guest]??"
    • "[female guest] has nice gazongas. C+ ep."
    • "HOLY JUGGS"
    • "wow would you check out the schnozz on that broad"
    • and much more, but that would require more than five clicks into the moderation log.

     

    While the near-constant "cute" remarks may seem benign in the abstract, they are but the tip of an iceberg that most of you never see. We take a very light approach to moderation in this community—you'll notice that shitty and banal discussions are typically left alone unless they stray into personal attacks—but nothing could be less relevant to the discussion of an audio podcast than the physical appearance of the guests.

     

    I will continue to delete gross male gaze-y remarks until the people making them either learn to respect the performers or need to be shown the door. If you disagree with that policy, I suggest filing a formal grievance with my supervisor.

     

    What? The comment in question is just not, in any conceivable way, as crude or offensive as the above comments you posted. I know there is a general inclination among the Earwolf community to respect the work of any improvisor (male or female), which is absolutely commendable.

     

    I still think the outrage over a seemingly innocent comment has been cringeworthy.

    Since it's hump-month I'm gonna post my 6 fav episodes so far this year because why not:

    6. 351

    5. 331

    4. 336, rip in peace Harris

    3. 327

    2. 338

    1. 349

     

    For me, the Silicon Valley episode needs to be somewhere in the top 5. Words cannot adequately express how impressed I was by Middleditch's improvisatory tour-de-force.

     

    Other honorable mentions are the Andy Daly/Richter episode, the episode with Paul Britian as the Explosione family (one of my favorite underrated episodes of the year), the Hanford as Lennon episode with American Football (my new favorite musical guest performance on CBB), and both SXSW episodes (Tom Leykis!!).

     

    Wow, we really have been spoiled so far this year.
