Episode 13 — Nocturnal Emotions

[Episode 13 — Nocturnal Emotions]

Like most shows with an interview format, I think it's really going to depend on the guest. Also, it's the first show, so perhaps it takes time to find its track.

 

Glad Macauley Culkin has a creative output. I am one of the ten people who saw and liked "Party Monster". Seems he has become a bit Michael Alig-ish in real life, no?

[Episode 136 — Baby Fever!]

I am happy that you guys are trying to have a baby, but I have to admit my first thought was selfish - "If they have a baby, they may not have time to do a podcast!"

 

But seriously, I wish you the best. Besides, pregnancy/infants will inspire more talk about bodily functions.

[Episode 11 — Gelmania XI]

Gelmania two weeks in a row? I'm still not over "I am Bane" yet.

 

Not to promote a podcast outside the network, but the WTF with Brett was fantastic.

[Episode 44 — Jaws 4: The Revenge]

Ridiculous movie, impossible premise, host outrage...this was classic HDTGM. I always appreciate June's determination to find an explanation for the most insane things- as is with the "I guess he smells their blood...."

[The First Annual HDTGM Awards]

How about "worst line"? [ex. "Why did the dinosaurs become extinct?]

 

Worst wardrobe

 

Worst "meet cute" scene

 

Most Unbelievable Character Profession

[Episode 11 — The Fogelnest Files]

Loooove this idea! Can't wait to see the upcoming clips Jake chooses.

[Episode 133 — Respectful Sex!]

I feel like I've heard Andy tell the Tootsie-Pop story before...unless that happens a lot and someone else told me.

 

Also, Eliza Skinner is amazing! I've seen her perform with Diamond Lion and it was one of the best improv shows I've ever seen.

[Episode 171 — Scrog Secretions]

I shouldn't think that Baby is such a good character. He's a baby who says inappropriate things....we covered that in Look Who's Talking. However, it kills me every time.

[Episode 132 — Sign My Box!]

[swoons]

[Episode 42 — Batman & Robin]

I don't think Batman & Robin proved bad enough to trigger a total Zouks meltdown.

 

Have we yet determined what the biggest Mantzoukas Meltdown is?

[Episode 42 — Batman & Robin]

I'm ashamed that I used to have a ladyboner for Chris O'Donnell as Batman.

 

Did this kill Alicia Silverstone's career?

 

Edited to add:

 

 

It's the classic "sorry you were offended, not for what I did" apology

[Episode 170 — New Scoop]

Martin Starr, don't ever change.

[Episode 131 — Salty Language!]

Farting, periods, embarassing teen storues- this is the stuff that Totally Laime was made for. Love when it gets personal.

 

Also, the best part:

 

Allison: I used o.b. tampons

Andy [without missing a beat]: Oh, you need an applicator.

[Episode 130 — Robo Cop Diet!]

Previously I wasn't a Dan Harmon fan (no hating, just didn't get on the bandwagon) but after hearing this, I'm a convert! Leave it to Elizabeth and Andy to bring out the best in people!

 

The "why I don't go to prostitutes" part was pure gold. Uncomfortable, but totally honest. Truth in comedy, right guys?

[Episode 31 — Babysitting]

Either Morgan Murphy is the most patient person in the world, or she was given a heads up about the baby.

 

And yay for the tv show! In my mind it's a travel show where Beverly hits on the local men.

[Episode 168 — Breaking Bread]

True, priest/molestation jokes have been done, but the joke that ended with "and then it crashed into a battered women's shelter" made me literally do a spit take.

 

Also, Besser sounded a little bit like Bruno. And I mean that as a compliment.

[Episode 167 — New No-Nos]

Coincidentally, I saw Jerrod at a standup showcase and he was quite charming. Especially funny bit was that in the middle of his set, he busted out with "let me tell you guys about audible.com"...it was a total Earwolf insider joke, but most of the crowd appreciated it.

[Episode 128 — Naptime!]

TL always gives me a hearty laugh, but I love when things "get real." Like uncomfortable marital spats, and Andy admitting his lack of ability to meet people.

 

Ever think of doing a live episode taping with an audience? That would be amazing.

[Episode 166 — Farts and Procreation 2]

"What's an improv show?"

 

Marry me, Adam Scott.

[Episode 30 — The Kramer of Veep]

I've started saying "in any event" in my everyday conversations.

[Episode 127 — Small World!]

Loved how goofy you guys were on this one. Also, bless Cole for creating Sketch Fest- I'm lucky enough to live in SF to get to go. Last year's Viva Variety! reunion was epic.

 

Elizabeth and Andy, you should totes do a live podcast taping at the Fest.

[Episode 59 — Human Energy]

Here's (what I hope is) a constructive suggestion: instead of bringing youtube clips that often take a while to get to the point, why doesn't Aaron, the researcher, bring some published articles (not even academically published, but from Time or Popular Science) instead and summarize them or read the salient points. The gang doesn't need to immediately agree (skepticism makes for some good convo) but it gives a point to base the discussion.

 

If not, I will still of course listen and enjoy the podcast. Please, someone register just to disagree with me.

[Episode 39.5 — Minisode 39.5]

I hate to be this person, but I can't help make a correction. Paul, you mentioned your crush on Alyssa Milano in She's out of Control, but I hate to tell you she wasn't in that movie, it was Ami Dolenz (yes, daughter of Mickey). I only know this because I watched this movie about 300 times since its release and have memorized every outfit. It also stars Matthew Perry as a rapey college guy and Wallace Shawn (RIP). Carry on!

[Episode 126 — Mathsterbating!]

 

I've watched all the Sassy Gay Friend videos a million times a piece, and was really bummed when everyone turned on them when they got a Mio sponsorship. I thought it was great! Whenever I see it at the gas station I still think to myself, (or say out loud) "It's MIIIO! Flip it tip it sip it you stupid biotches!!"

 

 

This was actually the ONE time I've bought a product because something I loved sponsored it. I paid the g-d 3.99 for a Mio just so I could say that phrase when I used it.

 

Also? His face after the guy says he's a pitcher- hilarious.

[Episode 126 — Mathsterbating!]

I have been lucky enough to see Brian perform improv, and he is genius. Also, Elizabeth's cannibalsim theory suprisingly makes a lot of sense.
