i was worried sick!

[IanHeydon 106]

Not listened yet, but already looking forward to this. Claudia is so good.

[Bernard_Shakey 3484]

Al's "Mission Statement" song is a parody of "Carry On", From:

Déjà vu, the second album by Crosby, Stills & Nash, and their first in the quartet configuration of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young.

[freeagent 329]

pretty funny episode. I was wondering who was playing Claudia until after the show I found out it was...Claudia. She was funny and I'd like to hear her on again. Al was hilarious as always. I only wish they had created more song parodies.

 

oh yeah, Scott, Universal Studios DOES have a year round haunted house. It's the first attraction on the left after that main street.

"it may just be because i was doing that u2 show forever"

 

DON'T REMIND ME, SCOTT

 

</3

Please have the Vicar of Yanks explain the supernatural methods he uses to remain so youthful and energetic.

Hey, BTW everyone, if you enjoyed Claudia, or if you haven't even listened to the episode yet (like me), you owe it to yourself to check out her shorts from BBC4 Channel 4:

She's so great.

 

Edit: I didn't know what the difference between Channel 4 and BBC4 was.

[ieatpants 720]

god darnit. i seriously just buy everything that's featured on this show... i guess the kid's not gonna get his smooshed peas this week.

 

also:

 

"it may just be because i was doing that u2 show forever"

 

DON'T REMIND ME, SCOTT

 

</3

 

 

i don't know what your problem is and i don't want to know but you better grow up fast becase utu2tm is god's gift to everyone.

[Syme 548]

Think she was saying "don't remind me" because she misses it.

The shorts are from channel 4, not BBC4. It really doesn't matter, but channel 4 has been great at giving alternative comedians more a voice in the uk, and BBC4 is mainly documentaries about trains and Scandinavian dramas, so I wouldn't like to see them get credit for this.

[Joe F. 38]

That is a really authentic sounding Australian accent.

[rararachel 190]

Yes, that. The wound left by its absence is too fresh.

[rod aug 5637]

That is a really authentic sounding Australian accent.

[KajusX 1807]

My heart almost stopped during the pause between Scott asking "You gonna stay a while?" and then singing Staind-style "Stay a while!"

[Graham Wheeler 344]

in a radical series of events, Scott's favorite song is no longer Batdance.

 

 

 

it was a good run?

[Shannon 2953]

I am so so so sad that I already spent my itunes allowance for the month and will have to wait a few weeks to get the new album (yeah I still buy all my music wanna fight about it?) But with all these new videos these 8 days are gonna feel like Christmas every day (or maybe Hanukkah)

 

I really like today's video. The guy who did the typography made a Jonathan Coulton video that I've been obsessed with for years

 

[Mathey 419]

The riffing in this was so smooth.

 

Also, I appreciate the level of Hanna-Barbera discussion in this episode. I fondly recall the utterly terrible Hanna-Barbera ride at Universal Studios Orlando.

[hypnotizingchickens 1025]

as much as I love Brian Eno's music, Scott calling him "Ol' Sourpuss" will literally never get old.

 

 

 

and I think using "Halt and Catch Fire" as a verb is really going to enter the lexicon... especially with computer programmers and AMC-watchers

[HipsterNonsense 402]

BBC4 is mainly documentaries about trains

 

Their affinity for wearing rolling skates must be documented!

[justinmh05 1968]

"My wife" - Scott Aukerman.

[Game of Scones 5812]

CBB has the most ads of any popular podcast that I listen to.

 

I'm not hating the player, by the way...

[hypnotizingchickens 1025]

ah, I'm glad this episode reminded of the age-old adage "If you have a show, don't put your butt in it"

 

 

 

take notes, Louie... however, I'm looking forward to see Scott's "little butt" in the CBB Season 3 finale.

[HotSaucerman 2051]

Claudia was a delight. I hope they have her back soon.

[DavidGarrison 6]

Ms. O'Doherty was great. I watched all of her BBC 4 videos and those were great as well. I hope she will return.
