    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.

     

    Well, there are certainly very few comedians who could continue to recycle characters at that rate and remain interesting. In my opinion, PFT - by means of linguistic mastery and interminable vivacity - is one such talent. There's a depth to his creations, a weird dimensionality, which allows them to long outlast their anticipated shelf-life. Having said that, I doubt whether even one of his classic characters could sustain an audience's attention twice in the space of a month (as Pamela Murphy's has had to do).

     

    Anyway, if any character's getting a bit worn it's that 'Scott' guy Jeff Ulrich plays every week.

    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.

     

    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.

    Penises Abounding was, appropriately enough, a big satchel of dicks. I might be wrong, but I think that was the only episode this year I wouldn't give an overall thumbs-up to. All in all, the show is astounding consistent. Jock Rockerman is the best host since SQUARESPACE! JUST TYPE IN THAT PROMOTIONAL CODE 'HOTDOG', THAT'S H-O-T-D-O-G, AND THEY'LL MEET ALL YOUR WEBSITE NEEDS*!

     

    *I don't think I'm flirting with danger by advertising the show's sponsor, but if anyone's feeling litigious I'll get all the legal help I need OVER AT LEGALZOOM.COM! LEGALZOOM.COM IS NOT A LAWYER BUT THEY WILL PROVIDE LEGAL ADVICE TO YOU!

    The real #1 imo, the only one that is arguably better imo is Time Bobby

     

    But I now realize that you really do have to be a die hard fan to truly appreciate all the characters at the end

     

    That's true, it is a kind of 'insider' episode. But if you 'get it' then nothing's better (which is also how I feel about Tim Heidecker's appearances).

    I can't believe Highly Illogical, Repeat Your Keyword, and Popcorn.com didn't crack the top 10! All snubs, and they flubbed when they snubbed them. Tim is definitely one of my favorite guests. At least we got a Ching Chong bonus clip.

     

    Agreed. I still think Highly Illogical is one of the greatest CBB episodes of all time. Granted, I'm a huge Heidecker fan, but that double dose of Daly really boosted it into legendary territory. Not to mention Reggie's outstanding musical contribution.
