    Of course we thought you probably said the n-word. Generally, that's THE slur that you can't say unless you're making some sort of shocking point about using the n-word. Don't put it off on that guy, like he's got the n-word on his mind. It's also funny that you give a hint, then ask us not to have a guessing game. That's like saying "Ready... Set... Go! But please, let's not have this turn into a race!" Anyway, my guess is "Gubba" the derogatory term for White people used by Aboriginal Australians. Am I close?

     

    Honestly I have a hard time thinking about any other word that would offensive enough to bleep. To me nigger is the only word I can think of that might warrant it. Even then I don't consider it that offensive. Nor does anyone else I know. This is probably due to the difference of attitudes in the US vs Canada but who knows.

     

    But again what really shocked me was the sudden bleeping. In the last 61 episodes there have been plenty of offensive things said that could warrant a bleep, but that it happens now is just kind of weird.

    Interesting you think it was "nigger". It was not. Was not an African-American slur at all. However, let's not turn this into a guessing game.

     

    Interesting because I really thought it was based off what was said afterwords. Now I really want to know what it is. Personally I just thought it was really weird since you haven't censored in the past. For me it just took me out probably because I hate censorship. But to each their own.

     

     

    In our next ep. we accidentally did this. See what you think.

     

    Fantastic! I look forward to it. One thing I am wondering is if having no audience reaction effects how you continue on the scene.

    Let's not let this discussion get out of hand! I'd sooner see femininity subjected to centuries of subjugation than risk losing a CBB episode with Dame Sir Andrew or Mr. Marshall.

     

    Personally I would like to see less of those characters because after a while it gets kind of tiring. I love PFT but I think that his near constant presence with many of the same characters loses it originality after a while. In fact, take James Adomian. He disappeared for a while and that was great because when he came back it felt fresh and new and tried new things. Not to criticise PFT but it would be nice to see him throw in a new character.

    Wow I didn't realise people didn't like the Nancy character. I think it is hilarious. I also loved Lauren Lapkus characters as well. I'm pretty much game for any character and I like to see them become more fleshed out as the episode goes along, such as fleshing out Nancy a bit more because I think she didn't do well last month with Adomian's meh performance.

     

    Please have on more female characters! My knowledge of female comedians is very small and I would love to learn about more great talent, such as Lauren Lapkus or Lennon Parham or Jessica St. Clair.

     

    Speaking of characters, while it's great to have a Paul F Tompkins or a James Adomian, I am kind of done with them for a while. Actually this is more towards PFT, who is great and I love him, but I do find his characters have gotten a little boring after a while. I get the schtick of Andrew Lloyd Weber or Garry Marshall after the 10th appearance. It's nice to hear something new, say Mike the janitor. Save the well known impressions for big events or maybe bring them out once or twice a year.

    One of my favourite episodes of Improv4humans is the gun episode. I thought it was very topical and a good discussion.

     

    Personally I thought that the edit of nigger was actually distracting more than the word itself. Kind of ruined the flow for me.

     

    As for improvements, I dunno. After 62 episodes you've really gotten into a good grove and a formula that works. Changing up where you get stories from every few months has really helped.

     

    One thing that would be interesting would be to try a long form (like 30 minutes) improv. Most of the scenes on this show are fairly short and it would interesting to hear a much longer one. I dunno how feasible that is but it would be interesting to hear.

    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 always feel so stupid when Tim comes on. I know everyone else gets it and loves it, but I don't and it makes me feel like a comedy moron. I almost never laugh when he's on. =(

     

    I totally agree with you in some respects. As I said previously, I never got Tim's comedy until I saw it live. Then I finally got it. I think his thing needs to be seen rather then heard so I always find him a terrible guest on an audio medium.

    When I saw that Gillian was on I was like 'yeah!!!' then I wondered how they would address its recent delay. Boy was my wondering immediately answered.

     

    Looking at those pictures, it always freaks me out about how short Gillian Jacobs is. Damn television using forced perspective. Also in the final picture, is she stoned?

     

    Can we please have more Lauren Lapkus, she is delightfully funny.
