    If you were paying attention, you wouldn't write me a reply that asks "why" to a post that provides the "why". You also wouldn't say "just because..." when your "just because..." doesn't actually address anything I said.

     

    Also the only "insight" is again some shit that ought be saved for Twitter. I'm sleepy, I'm hungry, and I don't want to hear any more PFT do not constitute insight.

     

    I think you are 100% wrong. And yet I still think a public forum is the place for you to share your opinions. A novel concept...

    The problem isn't having an opinion. It's not about expressing an opinion. It's about thinking that your random whimsy constitutes an opinion. The supposed opinions being expressed are akin to; "I ate too much food, now my tummy hurts, I don't like food anymore." Save it for Twitter already.

     

    And why is their insight any less valuable than yours? Just because you don't agree with it doesn't mean it might not be valid. Again, on a PUBLIC FORUM.

    Why do people treat the forum like their fucking diary?; "Today I decided not to dip my french fries in ketchup. I'm not saying I hate ketchup, I just think me and ketchup need a break."

     

    Too much of a good thing? It's still a good thing people.

     

    How dare people use a public forum to give a detailed but respectful dissenting opinion, right? It's not like that's what forums are for.

    Really feel this but just don't bother talking about it much on the forum. I get that everyone loves PFT but I'm exhausted by him feeding of the fanboy-dom at this point. Every appearance runs together, him laughing on the pod seems kinda like an easy laugh like breaking on SNL or something, the characters don't have that much to them (a southern swamp weirdo just seems cheap and not much more than an accent), and it seems like he kisses CBBs ass at this point to get more appearances.

     

    I get an amateur's notes on a forum are pointless but I just wanted to be clear I'm not hating just to hate - I do have thoughts behind it and kinda sigh to myself at this point when I see he's on ANOTHER podcast this year. I've laughed plenty at PFT and I'm not saying he's not funny and never was. The Richard Harrow character made me lose my mind. I've watched that VPN video many times. I might just need a break and am fine with skipping these episodes.

     

    I'm honestly just trying to open up a discussion and let Sanjay know he's not alone. If I get crucified for this, well, what did I really expect?

     

    This is a perfectly reasonable criticism. I had PFT fatigue and mentioned it on the board about two years ago. I was honestly tired of hearing Cake Boss, Ice-T or Andrew Lloyd Webber so often on CBB.

     

    That said, I think since 2014, he has really gone the extra mile to create new CBB characters and cycles them pretty well so it always feels fresh when they reappear. I'm speaking of Richard Harrow, The Pie Minister, Alan Thicke, JW Stillwater, Len Wiseman and Mike the Janitor.

     

    Look, PFT is basically Scott's podcast sidekick. He's on at least once a month and really is as much a part of the show as Scott at this point. These days, I really love Paul's appearances here on CBB, but I understand why others wouldn't.

    Esposito is probably in the top 10 of guests that, as a first timer, totally got how to interact with a CBB character. Not only that, but she helped guide the creation of an extended mythos for a really shallow random character. How she gets hated on is beyond me.

    It's super weird. People seem to come out of the woodwork to complain when she's on. It's strange to see a guest who commits 100% to the character bits get complaints because she mentions she's a lesbian sometime.

    I enjoyed Tom Green. I don't know why everybody's shitting on him. Maybe its comedy hipsterism where you pretend like you didn't love The Tom Green Show 15 years ago?

     

    Here's the thing. You can say you don't agree, but do you really not know why people disliked his appearance? Several different people have listed several reasons why they disliked his appearance.

     

    I didn't enjoy the majority of this episode because Tom Green derailed bits, showed no real interest in the character guests and consistently steered the conversation back to himself. Is he the only guest to ever do this? No. Ben Stiller, Pete Holmes, Marc Maron, John Heder, and a very small group of others have done it as well. I didn't like it in those instances either.

     

    I think it's a valid complaint - even if you, Stan Sitwell or others don't happen to agree.

     

    And to answer Stan, if Harris Wittels had decided to derail the podcast and make it all about himself one time, then yes, I would have complained. But he never did that (really, go back and listen) because he understood the group dynamic of Comedy Bang Bang.

    Between the last two weeks having elements of the show being Mathedy Bang! Bang! with Human Calculator Scott Aukerman and this week learning about the whole 3 p.m. Thanksgiving thing for the first time, this show is singlehandedly keeping my mind sharp.

     

    Tom Green being a letdown wasn't very surprising as I think anyone who's seen the Tom Green SNL ep knows that's where he jumped the shark.

     

    Exactly. I sort of expected that he'd jump in randomly and derail the character bits, and that's basically what he did.

     

    That said, Mary Holland and Erin Whithead were great. I'm glad that Trabitha has become a recurring character.

    damn, just wasn't feeling this episode. first time i haven't lol'd at an ep of CBB ever.

     

    I try to be measured in any criticism of CBB because who am I to judge it? However, I think it was Tom Green's need to always make himself the center of attention at all costs.

    I was stunned by just how good this one was! I don't know how they've kept topping each film since Fast Five. A movie with a title ending in 7 shouldn't be this good!

     

    My only complaint - not enough of The Rock!
