    I was going to make a fake ironic comment about women's shrill voices (I'll leave that for someone else), but I am literally watching a free preview of the Kroll Show:

    I think this is the right link, but within the first couple of minutes I've seen Jenny Slate, Jon Daly, Jason Mantzoukas, Ed Helms, Brian Husky, Seth Morris, Adam Pally, some other dude, and perhaps a large basketball player with a jersey that has Peretti on the back.

     

    This is shaping up to be a fantastic day.

     

    Yeah I just watched them all walk into the bar sketch and my Earwolf heart did a dance

    There definitely is something to the "hating women's voices" thing. I've read tons of comments on YouTube or podcasts, where people feel the need to vocalize how much they hate the female participant's (natural or not!) voice...and yet, I rarely see the same happen for men.

     

    I'm not even sure if it's a "don't try so hard, little lady" kind of thing. I think there's this shitty cultural bias against women speaking and performing in general. It's like people are so used to hearing male voices, and seeing men being able to speak and perform, that when a woman does the same thing, it's upsetting. Gender roles and all that.

     

    So some of it has to be unconscious thinking...but it really hits "asshole level" when someone feels the need to comment on Kumail/Emily's podcast just to write "hate her voice" or something like that. Seen that a few times.

     

    Anyway, I thought Lauren Lapkus' "Tracy" and Pamela Murphy's "Nancy" were really funny in their respective episodes. The ludicrousness of their voices added to the hilarity.

    Sure, it fell apart pretty early, but it's obvious that it's because Andy Samberg and Adam Pally are such good bros, they can take jabs at each other's careers with no hard feelings.

     

    I dunno, I thought it was hilarious and insightful. The Woody Allen bit killed me

    Oh man, that story early on Scott told about the friend who laughed hard on purpose at Epic Movie...Reminds me of one awkward story:

     

    One time, I was watching some (decent) movie, and some asshole in the front kept laughing way too hard, or during scenes that had no jokes. I was really mad at his behavior until it was over, and as we all funneled into the exit, I discovered it was a mentally disabled young man just legitimately having fun.

     

    He was still an asshole for it, though. Great episode, Bobcat was a great guest and Garry Marshall blanking was fantastic
