Episode 265 — LIVE from RIOT LA

[Kickpuncher 5012]

Also, Lauren Lapkus is a goddamn genius.

 

It's pretty clear that she took Advanced Peanuts.

[AprilFoolsRebel 457]

The closing sentiment-off is the greatest thing that has ever happened.

 

Agreed! Absolutely amazing - and a testament to the improv skills of PFT and Lauren!

 

Plus the Foam Corner? Great show all around!

[AJValliant 266]

While a polished character is just fine, hearing PFT work out a new premise, and repeatedly surprising himself with spontaneous backstory is awesome. Lapkus was great solo and transitioned beautifully to a foil once PFT came in. You could feel the chemistry building throughout the episode, peaking in WYR. Great episode. Even Harris' foam was pleasingly terrible.

Closing sentement-off NEEDS to become a regular feature! Traci Rearden also should show up more. A nd why no b-b-b-bonus-s-s jokes in the tv cbb show. love paul's new charac in the live show.

For future reference, this is the episode when Lauren Lapkus went from great CBB guest to all-time top-tier CBB guest.

 

That, plus the debut of a new PFT character. There's no way this isn't going to be in the year-end best-of countdown.

Yes.

[Bucho 188]

I predict that, with this, one of our Best of 2014s has already been released.

 

So good I already forgot that other guaranteed Best of 2014 episode with Benny and Horatio.

 

SO GOOD!

[CrustyDustReceptacle 154]

I feel like Lauren is the first comedian to truly come to prominence on this show. She's so consistently excellent, it's crazy.

 

Great show all around!

Egregious Philbin made me laugh, rewind, repeat.

This episode was the greatest thing ever.

I completely agree. Lauren was great the whole episode and she completely blew me away by winning the closing sentiment-off. Seriously, she went to toe with PFT, probably the fastest thinker on the show and won. And it was a really good match.

Those were the best jokes Harris has ever had in the foam corner.

[Mikeyfazed 65]

Seriously, if Foam Corner stays this funny, it'll almost defeat the purpose of the bit.

Amazing episode. Traci Reardon explaining her ass-crack tattoo killed me. "My cwack. My cwack!"

 

Foam/Phone Corner started out all right but kind of went off the rails at the end.

Good interview with PFT from USA Today - sounds like he is really fond of JW, so I think we'll be hearing him again!

Paul seems like the nicest human being on earth.

[HotSaucerman 2051]

I wanna take Twaci Weawden to pwom. Or just go eat lunch with Lauren Lapkus while she talks in that voice.

 

Gotta love PFT chiming in as JW with a "Ohhhhh, that sounds like a classic Would You Rather blunder", reminiscent of when the Ghost of Richard Harrow took control of Would You Rather.

[ampersandwich 1]

Ok this is now one of my favorite episodes. I liked Lauren Lapkus before but now I think she's awesome. Loved the sentiment off with PFT.

 

PFT as always was hilarious. I LOVED JW Stillwater. Hope he turns up again.

[JustinRMayfield 0]

Oh, front of the shirt,

"Overruled, snap!" back of the

shirt, "That's gotta hurt!"

 

Yes, PFT. Like a haiku. In fact, exactly like a haiku.

[KevinBaconBits 1]

Does anyone have a pic of this show, or another Sheriff appearance? I can pretty much imagine what he looks like in the getup but still dying to see a pic.
