    Amazing episode.

    This is the reason why I hate identifying myself as a Christian. Those twitter comments...ugh. Tim Tebow...double ugh. It's pretty amazing that Jesus specifically spoke out against gaudy, public displays of worship (like praying in front of television cameras in a stadium full of people) and yet these people claim to worship him. Just the idea of a football player using twitter as a forum to tweet scriptures makes me want to throw up. It's so wildly disingenuous and showy, the opposite of having a humble attitude, which Christians are supposed to have.

     

    All of this is just to say, you don't have to be a non-Christian to be irritated by Tebow or his legion of weirdos. I think that sort of extremist attitude is irritating in all faiths. It's like Gervais sneaking in comments about non-atheists being idiots in every interview he does. It's the same to me as Tebow thanking Jesus in every interview he does ("I literally have no idea how to answer this question without talking about the end of the world!") Is it really your personal duty to convert the world to your belief system through twitter and interviews? Just do your thing and don't be a self-glorifying jerk about it.

    So stoked you guys enjoy this segment! It's a lot of fun.

     

    Nick brought some great Beckness, jon sounded just like Nick Cave in the first few lines and Collins in some others. Meandering process but, anything can happen. Nick played like 5 seconds of guitar the whole time but it worked great in the chorus. Jon's last minute sax changed everything.

     

    And a lot of great stuff (medieval times) didn't even make it.

     

    Who else would you like to hear as a guest on this?

    Beckness! That's exactly what I was thinking while listening to the final product.

     

    And obviously the best choice would be Weird Al.

    I don't think there was a strong enough concept of what the song would be about before it started. I think what made the Jesus song so great was that you actually tried to make a real Christian rock song; this one was just weirdness.

     

    And yet it was still a blast to listen to. Especially that ridiculous sax solo.

    Don't get me wrong -everyone's cool here. I feel like I can only bring it up here because everyone's nice.

     

    I get messages from a variety of sources - mostly twitter or facebook - and I've noticed it for about a year. I'll have a woman on doing a voice that is a little more crazy & out there than a Listler or Wompler, and I get a ton of messages saying how "brutal" it was, and requesting I never have them back. Meanwhile, Andy Daly can do the cowboy voice, or Horatio can do his voice this week, and everyone loves it. It made me think that there's something behind it, like a "hey, don't try so hard, little lady," kind of thing going on.

     

    But maybe it is the high pitches? I don't know. An interesting debate, though.

    I know what you mean; there's a lot of comments on iTunes for HDTGM? saying that all the female guests are annoying...which is a bizarre thing to say considering Zouks has one of the most abrasive voices around. And, of course, because it just isn't true.

     

    I wish you had more female character guests on the show, honestly; I feel like there hasn't been a bad one yet.

    Neil was great but things were a little awkward after Kristen's special got brought up. I think it bounced back in the second half, mostly.

     

    HOWEVER: Since apparently, there's some debate going on, I'll just say that Pam's character just never gets old for me for some reason. It's a thin premise, but such an entertaining one.

    Did he mention not wanting one to make it to the top ten?  That would be crazy if he didn't want this one, it was a pure joy and a totally brilliant idea.  Justin Kirk had a total blast from the sound of it.  This is one of my favourite episodes of anything, including TV of all time!

    Paul F. said there was an episode that he didn't want to make it into the top ten; a lot of people thought this was a failed experiment, so I just sort of assumed he meant this one. To be fair, there's a saying for people who assume.

    Anaconda is a terrible movie but Ice Cube hits a giant snake in the head with a hatchet then calls him "bitch" so its also the best movie

     

    Did You Notice that Jon Voight is never really in the same frame as anyone else The few times he's not isolated in frame its clearly a stand in. He mustve been Like "I aint traveling fucking anywhere just shoot me in front of a green screen at the studio near my house and figure it out in post."

    That totally explains the weirdness I was feeling when watching this movie last night! You're absolutely right. There's only a couple scenes where he actually interacts with the other actors directly.

    Agreed about Mop Water. The whole journey of it is just hilariously convoluted and fun. I love how ALW's tender confession is shot down by Scott saying "I just don't feel the same way." And when Justin asks why Scott didn't want ALW's friendship, Scott says "Have you ever seen Starlight Express?"

    Just relistened to this one.

    I think this is the one PFT hoped didn't make it into the top ten. But I still think it's one of the most wonderfully bizarre episodes of all time. The way it all comes together/falls apart even more when Mike comes in during plugs just kills me.

     

    Also Justin Kirk fits into the show perfectly. Hope he comes back.

    Also, I am sorry to report (though through second-hand sources) that the fabled nut shot in "Parental Guidance" is even worse than discussed.

     

    Not only does it include Billy Crystal.

    Not only does it include an overweight child.

    Not only does it include Billy Crystal berating that overweight child.

    Not only does it include Billy Crystal taking a baseball bat to the crotch.

    After taking the crotch shot, Billy Crystal then proceeds to vomit onto the overweight child.

     

    I wish I was kidding.

    We need to get HDTGM on this, stat!

    I agree with 9/10 of the choices although I would have different ordering but the one I do not get is Farts and Procreation 2. I just didn't think it was that good and did not hold a candle to Farts and Procreation 1. I was really surprised to hear it at number 2. I don't think it was top ten material but oh well.

    I thought it was every bit as good, honestly.

    Yeah Besser's Pope was underrated. I loved how goofy and unsubtle it was. I think the first thing he said was that his hat was big enough to hide a child under.

     

    And the Mantzoukas/Brie/Odenkirk episode was wonderful; amazing chemistry, first of all; second of all, "Chief Queef."
