I really don't get how you can trash other movies without doing this one first.

You know, if you had just said from the beginning that the goal was to find the most vapid, disposable podcast imaginable, you could have avoided all of the vitriol on this forum over these last ten weeks. The best part about today is that I will never have to listen to Totally Laime ever again.

The problem with that is, Wittel and Scott were doing ANTI-characters, while PFT was actually doing a character. I doubt they would mix well.

I've been extremely unimpressed with all the new characters this season, but PFT knocked it out of the park with Werner Herzog. Well done, Paul. Well done indeed.

Sorry, Matt...I'm on the East Coast. Let me know next time you're playing in the Philly area, and I'll be happy to show up and let you take a swing at me. (I really do love you!)

Why would anyone with no life want a life where they have to work hard? Think before you post this shit, Diggler.

@Chris: Think nothing of it, old sport.

Dave hasn't confined his whining to the Earwolf forums. Regardless, I'd say that the tone of my posts are remarkably similar to the tone of Dave's posts. Also, I don't believe I ever claimed that no one could "handle my opinion" or claimed that anyone was trying to "silence" me (and I'm not sure you know what "quote marks" are for, since I certainly never SAID either of those things). I give people more credit than that. - The only thing I want from Dave Anthony is an acknowledgement that he and the other two screwed up the judging. Given his responses here and elsewhere, I certainly don't expect to get that. Consequently, I think it would indeed be classier if he just said nothing, rather than post defensively about how everyone who thinks LHR's submission was funnier than TL's submission is wrong, especially as he is clearly in the vast minority in that regard. - Dave is certainly free to post whatever he wants, just as I feel free to comment on what he posts. That's how forums work. I think it would be smart of him to stop complaining about being picked on on the internet, as that never leads to anything good (ask Matt Mira...on second thought, don't. He never learns.), but he's a big boy. He can make his own decisions.

I'd appreciate it if you wouldn't announce my presence here to the world, old chap. There's a good fellow.

If "poor" Mark Watson went to the trouble of registering just so he could post that he's going to stop posting, I think he's too busy enjoying his own self-satisfaction to be too bothered by anything posted here. - Meanwhile, does anyone else find it hilariously sad that David Anthony has done astronomically more whining about being a shitty judge than all five members of LHR combined have done about being shittily judged by him?

There are two things I think you MUST do if you are to run a second season of this show: - 1. Get another permanent judge. I like the "new blood" element every week, but lack of familiarity with the podcasts has proven unfair time and time again to many of the shows, and it's brutal on the audience. So you compromise. You bring in one more permanent judge, and have the last judge spot be filled by a different comedian each week. And the second permanent judge doesn't have to be a comedian; in fact, I'd prefer it NOT be a comedian. Get someone who works behind the scenes, who views podcasts from a unique perspective, neither host nor audience member. I'd rather hear from that individual about podcasts than from a dozen Harris Wittels. Let Besser and the other comedian worry about the funny. In fact, let the CONTESTANTS worry about the funny: they're all supposed to be COMEDY podcasts, right? The single biggest problem with this show has been lack of familiarity with the podcasts from the judges. You need a second permanent judge. - 2. Establish clear criteria for judging each challenge BEFORE you get on the air, and have the judges follow that criteria. As amusing as it can be to hear Besser fumble through his half-assery three days a week, it's infuriating that you people don't know from minute to minute what you're basing your judgment on. It's maddening, it's unprofessional, and it's terribly unfair to the podcasts. - You had your test run. Now it's time to get serious. You can pout because so many people called you on your winging it and vow never to put yourselves through something like that again, or you can acknowledge that the concept is good, the execution was shaky at best, learn from your mistakes, and put out a much better product next time around.

"Haters gonna hate" is the junior high equivalent of "I know you are, but what am I?"
