    Dude, why did you post this comment? If you want cbb to make more podcasts that you like, then why not comment on stuff you enjoy, rather than saying 'I don't like dis' It just seems petty and rude.

     

    Also, another thing I dislike is saying something insulting and then putting a smiley at the end of your comment. It just makes it look really creepy, like you're a bond villain or something.

     

     

    Ya man, push all those honest feelings deep down and never speak of them again.

    I mean, imagine how much better the world would be if we never said truthful things and just made people feel good about themselves?

    Like my Mom used to say, "if you don't have anything nice to say, don't join a CBB forum"

    You said you'd been listening for 4 years but you just seem so jaded and negative towards the entire idea of the show that it makes me wonder why you post here at all. As I said, you don't have to enjoy the program but if you don't enjoy it then don't post here and complain about how much you dislike it. If you do enjoy it but didn't particularly enjoy an episode than offer something constructive rather than snide remarks. If you're criticism is done in a polite manner, people will be much more receptive to it. I know I certainly haven't loved every episode or character that's been on the show.

     

    I'm always open to read people's negative reactions to episodes and have a discussion about it but when it's done in an offensive manner or when trying to draw a reaction from fans than I'm just not interested. Like the person who said "they couldn't wait until the next Wompler episode to post about how much they hate her." That's not a valid criticism, it's an inflammatory post looking to get a rise out of people. If you don't like it, don't listen and don't troll the forums.

     

    Again, sorry for calling you a cunt. I hope you stick around the forums and find a way to be constructive with your criticisms

     

     

    I appreciate the apology... Sincerely. You're a bigger man (woman) than I.

    S

    I'm still going to have to disagree with your interpretation of what a "troll" is or indeed what an "inflammatory" post is. I honestly didn't think I was being overly snarky.. I was genuinely disappointed with the show.

    A post from Bucho sort of got me thinking. It is indeed because I LOVE this show so frickin much that when I know how genius they can be, the disappointing ones are especially disappointing. It just so happens that I found the last 2 sub-par, which is unusual.

    If people legitimately think these episodes were hilarious, than who am I to disagree

    I just think IF (and I'm not saying this is happening but IF) people are ALWAYS giving nothing but superlative praise it actually diminishes the truly genius episodes. If everything is awesome, than nothing becomes special.

    For instance, Andy Dalys episode where all his characters successively commit suicide out the studio window was pure gold... Truly special.

     

    Like, I honestly can't get my head around comments like this from Valerie Bryant

     

    These forums generally are for compliments and praise, partially because it seems mean to say shitty stuff when the people on the show will likely read it.

     

     

    What the hell? Don't be honest about a lame episode because the ARTISTS might be trolling the forum?

    Irony.

    You'll notice that Earwolf mods never really weigh in on "haters" or "trolls" (again, not accusing anyone in this thread of that). That's because Earwolf has the best and most savvy mods on the entire internet, and they understand that lack of oxygen keeps fires from spreading (the best way to piss off a troll is by everyone acting as if the post doesn't even exist). As a result, this place is pretty much the gold standard in fan boards, unlike almost anyplace else on the net, even as the Earwolf brand expands to a larger audience.

     

    In short, we are all totally the bomb.

     

    So can someone point me to the forum where people talk honestly about the podcast, warts and all.

    I just love how when people bring up valid criticism they are labelled "haters" "trolls" "new listeners" or in my case, a "cunt".

    Why so defensive people? It's like the guests are your immediate family or something.

    Comedy is subjective but could you at least entertain the possibility that it was more "miss" than "hit"?

     

    (Seriously though, where's the forum that talks honestly about this stuff?)

    I think the issue people are taking is that in all the time this forum has existed, you never cared enough to come in and compliment or discuss anything before, and now you suddenly have the urge to come in and criticize something (and specifically something that's not entirely unique to this episode)? A lot of us criticize things that we think aren't up to par, but it carries more weight when it's balanced out with deserved praise. I don't really like when people reflexively jump on anyone who criticizes the shows, but this is a case where I can absolutely see where they're coming from.

    Ok I get the deal now. This forum is more like an exclusive club where you need to "do your time", mind your p's and q's and ease into the first few years with nothing but compliments. Got it. Geez, I hope Scott and his friends don't read this.

    Ok... I clearly haven't figured out how to quote other posts yet. I'm old.

     

    Johnnyhagis makes a fair point and articulated it well. The Simpsons did a great episode on this... All the people who complain about the Years of free network entertainment.

    That's fair. BUT regardless of whether its free or not does not exempt you from critique. Once one puts their art out in the pop culture ethos it's fair game for praise and criticism, is it not?

    Now as for this "troll" bullshit, let me be clear (whether you choose to believe this or not) I've listened to every CBB for the last 4 years, followed comedy death ray before that and mr. Show before that.

    Even great improvisers need to be aware of stepping on people's jokes and fighting for airtime. Listen to it again and tell me I'm wrong, but even PFT made mention of the cross talk.

    Still think I'm wrong? Cool. Articulate it. Don't call me a "cunt" and a "douchebag". Is that really how this forum rolls?

    Or do whatever you want... What am I, your mother?

    I think some people don't feel the need to speak out unless they're upset about stuff. And people don't realize that they're pooping on peoples' parade - they're used to getting free entertainment, so they don't really realize this show is done for free by the guests, and it's total improv, bound to be hit or miss, and the fact that it's 90% incredible kind of doesn't sink in...

    Sorry "Washington monugent". I didn't realize you were policing this forum to keep it as a mutual-admiration-society. I didn't know about the rules of CBB being beyond reproach or critique.

    I'll "go away" now so as not to offend your delicate sensibilities.

    Glad to hear you only ALMOST peed your pants. Phew!

    WOMP IT UP, MY WIIIFFE

    (Lol, rotfl, :), omg, etc.)

    Glad you felt the need to create an account just to say that. Go away.

     

     

    Anyway, incredible episode...quite possibly my favorite CBB ever. David Wain never disappoints, I love how quick he is to glob on to bits and keep talking to the point where it's almost utter nonsense. PFT as MTJ was just as good this time around. Zukes didn't have a whole lot to do but he just plays so well off of everyone and adds so much, so he kept me laughing.

     

    The Bachelor Boys almost made me pee my pants. They need to come back. They NEED to.

     

    Wompler and Traci quite clearly get MVP, so glad that we got to hear them interact with each other so soon...I smell a budding friendship in there somewhere. I'd be glad to take either of them to Da Prom.

     

    Thanks to Scott, Jeff and the entire Earwolf gang...IT'S BEEN a great 4 years and I look forward to hearing 4 more years of Earwolf gold.

    WOMP IT UP and of course, MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH WIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIFE
