Great episode, but Besser's views on cell usage in airplanes make no sense. We can use phones on buses, or trains, or other crowded spaces; the no-phone rule for planes only exists because airlines were worried cell usage would interfere with navigation. When that proved to be a trumped-up concern, the rule stayed in place so airlines could gouge consumers with $15 Go-Go wifi.
Β
Most of what we do with phones these days doesn't require voice. Why shouldn't I be allowed to text, email, and browse the Internet on a plane? Because of the paternalistic impulse to create an "unconnected" space for a few hours? And if someone next to me wants to make a quick phone call to, say, coordinate with the person picking him/her up from the airport, why shouldn't they be allowed to? Because it might annoy me slightly? Whether my seat mate wants to have a phone conversation or a conversation with the guy across the aisle, I don't have some inalienable right to silence. That's why I bring headphones.
Silence is the foundation that serves as the basis for all creativity.

Mookie's Jackson absolutely kills me. Literally everything he says makes me laugh. Combine that with Carmichael and GOAT Campbell, and this , to quite Sir Lord ALW , went down a treat!
-
I've listened to the bit where they open the restaurant like 5 times now. This episode is ridiculous.
-
Another GOAT contender. improv4humans is the greast comedy out there right now, in any medium.

CHICO: You gotta laugh. You gotta laugh. That's what we say in the horse fighting business.
BEVER: We gotta! That's how you start the fight. You know when in a normal boxing it be like, 'LET'S GET READY TO RUUUUUMMMMBLE'? We justβ you know, there ain't many people there so you don't even need a microphoneβ so we just say, "Folks, you gotta laugh. Now for your enjoyment, two horses that are gonna punch each other 'til one dies."

It was very appropriate that Taran could not get through that sentence without almost losing his shit multiple times. That is a hilarious sentence.
I lost it just reading that. One of the funniest eps of all time.

Incredible episode. If I had to pick the best episode for fans of the TV show to transition into the podcast, I'd pick this one.
Β
Words cannot even express how hard I laughed at this insanity.

I could not even handle this episode. I was crying with laughter. When Morris said "Can I get a prescription for a montage?" I literally applauded and almost got in a car accident.
Β
EDIT: Also! The return of Glorm!!

So the takeaway from this thread is that we should all take huge dumps on Jim Henson's grave, right?

I have to believe that it was someone trolling in the reviews with that one.
I thought the same thing, but Paul usually does a good job of weeding out the trolls.

So, the guy who wrote Monster House is shitting on Jim Henson's entire career? Where does this shitheel get the gall? Not for nothing, but I'll take "48 years of garbage" (supposedly) over 8 years of self-referential shit.
Β
Also, one of Paul's favorite movies is Hiding Out? That's something.
His Jim Henson bashing was clearly a joke. Are you for real?

I'm going to call it: best episode ever.
It also warmed my heart that someone read some exerpts from Ebert's review of the film, which is one of the best bad movies reviews ever.

HIP HIP MURRAY!

Yessssssss! Huge fan of Pardo's stand up, but I've never had the spare cash to buy the primo accounts for NNF. Now I can experience the magic!
-
Does this mean NNF is now an Earwolf show?
-
Very nice! DVD commentary tracks to bad movie are amazing. AV Club used to do a feature on them.
-
Another classic. Sanz' Paul McCartney was out of control, but it was the raccoon gags that killed me.
-
I was very happy to see Halfway to China breaking the top 3. I only wish in the selected clips they included Don DiMello's description of the 'Chocolate Lady' who has 'no idea what's going on.'
Β
That line destroys everyone in the studio, and is one of my favorite things DiMello has ever said.
Β
That line gave me the hardest laugh I had all year! Can't believe it wasn't included in the clip.

Hard to complain about this list. I had a hard time making a top 20 list, let alone a top 10. Fiere Fight was in my top 5, but it's such a specific and weird episode that I can't imagine it struck a chord with general audiences. The Pool Party episode didn't strike me as a particularly hilarious episode upon first listen, but it gets better the more you get sucked into the weirdly compelling high school drama.
Β
I don't know what I'm trying to say, other than: thanks for a great year, Scott.
-
Pretty awesome episode. The only thing is it felt like they steamrolled Andrea's behind the scenes stuff. It sounded like she had more tales of misery to relay.
-
Sanz was probably my favorite comedian of the year in 2013--his work on CBB and i4h blew my mind. Huge shame that none of his eps made the top 10. Good Felines was a top 5 ep of the year.

From the Comedy Bang Bang Live shows between Scott and Paul F. Tompkins
- "I'll allow it, but you're on notice counsellor!" (tip of the hat to John Mulaney and his love of TV procedurals)
- "'tis a consummation devoutly to be wished" (tip of the hat to Shakespeare and his verbosity)
Β
Solid gigglers.
It's actually "but watch yourself councillor!"
I know this because I've been listening to nothing but these tour episodes for three days like an insane person
-
Oh my god scene of the year for mouth, nondescript and anus hole.
Yeah that's pretty much the perfect capper for 2013. Absolutely brilliant.
Β
And we got a Bloody Mary callback!

I'd like to see any of the current SNL cast members on there. They all have an improv background, to my knowledge.

it was better than yeezus tho
What was better? Good kid MAAD city, maybe but that's about it.
