Episode BO2014.3 — Best of 2014 Pt 3

[Episode BO2014.3 — Best of 2014 Pt 3]

I really regret respecting CBB too much to try to bootleg that show. Lesson learned.

 

I'm horrified that no one bootlegged it. Monsters all.

[Episode 100 — Junior]

Very true. Not to mention that they don't even for a second consider just testing it on a woman without telling anyone. Why isn't this the first idea they have? They work at a clinic and would have plenty of volunteers, but for some reason DeVito really really wants to impregnate a dude.

 

Well, I think within the bananapants premise of the thing, with the caveat that I'm basing this entirely on the podcast summary of the science:

 

* they have a drug that they think will prevent immune systems from mis-identifying embryos as foreign objects and attacking them, thereby preventing miscarriages;

* if they inject the drug and embryo into a woman, they won't be able to tell whether it really worked or if the pregnancy just happened to work out normally, because women have bodies that will accept and nourish a pregnancy;

* but if they inject the drug and embryo into a man and his body accepts the pregnancy, they know it definitely actually works.

 

Since the testing is illegal and can't use multiple subjects -- and because they're PLANNING to abort after a few weeks -- using a man "makes sense" given that set of ludicrous assumptions.

[Episode 100 — Junior]

Crosses the GOAT threshold shockingly early as Jason pitches his version of June's rewrite. Good ep.

[Episode 326 — 2014 Holiday Spectacular]

This is the kind of episode that makes you wish there were a grade higher than C+. Good ep.

[2014 Comedy Bang Bang Live Show Bundle]

"the missing one is the one where PFT goes solo bolo"

 

I will never be happy again.

I made a note in my Google Calendar over a year ago to remind myself to definitely vote for #259, Charlotte's Website. America, this is you.

 

And I don't know if the whole episode will make it, but I think the Closing Sentiment Off from #265 is the single funniest thing I heard all year.

 

This was the year of Lapkus. Behold.

[Episode 321 — Big Fat Voice]

I like even the bad Riddle Me Thises. It reminds me a bit of the early days of the podcast when guests would rail against the perfectly fair and clearly stated rules of Would You Rather.

[Episode 321 — Big Fat Voice]

One of Gino's best yet. I loved his just-barely-in-character ribbing of Scott.

 

When is Gino getting a podcast? At the very least a parody of that "Nerdist Interns" thing Nerdist used to do.

[Episode 314 — Y’all Heard Any of These Names Before?]

This bit came together so well at the end it seems like it must have been planned for years. Which is double impressive considering it was obviously entirely made up on the spot.

[Episode 307 — Ruth’s Ross Dress For Loss]

I made a note in my Google Calendar months ago to remind myself of Regina Crimp's original appearance come Best Of time. So funny. People on this show have been firing on all cylinders lately, especially since some of the reliable heavy-hitters (Andy Daly, PFT) seem to have been on less lately.

[Episode 305 — CattleLickItUp]

good ep

[Episode 304 — Marissa Wompler’s Six Flags Birthday Womptacular]

That PFT guest host / Auckerman charac idea is dynamite. Sixth anniversary ep?

[Episode 303 — Puttering Around]

Geez, if PFT can't stick around for more than one segment it's no wonder he's barely ever invited to be on the show.

[Episode 10 — Fuego]

"when can we get a podcast dedicated only to Scott doing his Bruce impersonation?"

 

It's called "Cake, Boss," and we've been begging for it in the UTU22M threads FOREVER

[Episode 14 — Staind Glass]

"Cake, Boss" is the best idea of all time. How much do we have to donate?

[Episode 14 — Staind Glass]

"Scott & Todd" was a morning show in the NY area in the 1990s. It's obviously time to bring it back.

[Episode 289 — The Exorcism of Cake Boss]

a ludicrous plot

 

I can't imagine what you mean by this.

[Episode 13 — No Line on the Horizon]

Scott and the gang would be able to make a decent fair use case as this is technically music criticism, and using snippets rather then full songs would help their case.

 

The commercial purpose would cut against them -- though unless I'm mistaken there were actually no ads in this one...

[Who was in the second Skirball show in NY last night?]

Will these be released anywhere? I'll pay anything.

[Episode 12 — Slowing It Down 2]

I'm starting to feel awful for Kulap and Naomi Scott and think they should start their own rival podcast together.

 

I think having them be guests on an ep of U Talkin U2 To Me? just talking about how much they hate it would be hilarious

 

I have to believe this will happen. I have to believe that.

[Episode 285 — Solo Bolo]

Probably the best solo bolo of all time.

[Episode 282 — Wompster's University]

I agree very strongly that the time for the CBBTVverse Marissa Wompler has come. Followed by several CBB multiple universe crossovers, folowed by the Crisis on Infinite Comedy Bang Bangs, followed by the Death and Return of Cake Boss.

[Episode 276 — LIVE from SXSW 2014 II]

The year was 2014. Gino was GOAT of underappreciated Comedy Bang Bang recurring characters.

[Episode 268 — What Does the Fonz Say?]

I was so unbelievably frustrated by my inability to call into the podcast and explain "No Soap Radio" to Scott. Now I realize *that* was the joke. You bastard.
