Episode 98 — LOL: LIVE!

[Jamie Power 224]

I assume Paul found it strange because, to the average American, "scotch" implies smoky/peaty/weird/imported/expensive, whereas "whiskey" is more or less synonymous with Jack Daniels: sweet, mostly corn-based, inoffensive. Jack & Coke is very well-known here.

 

Okay, I get what you mean. I'd never ask for, say, a Laphroaig and coke. I think a lot of barmen would refuse to make it. If that's what the grandma wanted then she is the most nuts thing in this movie.

[PlanBFromOuterSpace 3138]

Wow those questions were cringe worthy. People trying to spazz out with snarky quips instead of letting the funny people do the talking. Come on guys, don't be that person.

Wasn't the one guy like super prepared too, like had notes or something? I forget. Anyway, it looks that much worse when you bomb, because you WORKED to be that bad.

[Bob Drillboids 181]

Fourth, I don't understand what the girl was doing on the webcam. At first I thought they were introducing some dark subplot where she was getting money on the side doing webcam porn. Nope. Just tricking anonymous guys into thinking she was masturbating. Not even actually masturbating. WHY?

 

Lastly, why would she be so horrified and humiliated when she discovered the guy on the web was nerdy kid? She didn't really masturbate to him or show him any actual part of her naked body. Is it because she now definitively knows he jerked off to her? I thought that was the point(?).

 

Completely agree. Her motivation for using the chicken as pseudo vag makes ZERO sense. If in the middle of the bate sesh she pulled back the camera and revealed the meat to the dude on the other end and been like "haha you disgusting dummy you just had a tug to a dead bird," then I guess I could see why she'd pull such a stunt. But as it stands, she's the only one who's aware that it's not her actual goodies so what's the GD point? She might've just as well shown shit dick #1 her stupid teenage ladybits on camera cuz apparently he thinks that's what he was privy to and she's not the least bit interested in informing him otherwise. It's utterly baffling.

Bravo! I had a legit "LOL" at this!

 

Also, not really my story to tell, but I didn't want it to get lost in the shuffle. I was just scrolling through the alternate LOL thread and I would be remiss if I didn't give a shout out to our own Maximiliano who did the due diligence and also watched the French version. Max gave us a full run down of it, but I had forgot this little nugget of information. Apparently, at the end of the French version it says, "Based on a true story...lol"

 

I'll let you all chew on that for the rest of the day.

 

Thanks Maximiliano! You truly are a hero like no other!

 

You are welcome Cameron H !!! I'm so glad you read that post al least 2 times LoL to you ( I don't mean "lots of leaving" or "laughing out loud" )

 

For those of you who have not read it or those who want to read it again, Here are my notes on the Original french version of LOL... ENJOY! http://forum.earwolf.com/topic/10739-lol/page__st__180__p__111033#entry111033

And how happy were you guys when Heubel recognized Shit Dick #1 from the Step Up franchise??

[PlanBFromOuterSpace 3138]

And how happy were you guys when Heubel recognized Shit Dick #1 from the Step Up franchise??

To be fair though, that would be about the ONLY place that you'd recognize that dweeb from. I mean, even Channing Tatum doesn't have to deal with being the "Step Up" guy anymore. Shit Dick #1 will never live it down.

A friend of mine told me his mom thought LOL was "Lots of Love" and added that to a condolence after her friends son died. I imagine it reading "im sorry about the passing of your son, LOL."

[Hot - Slunch 772]

Huebel is the best.

 

 

Chatroulette is certainly a ridiculous concept, but it is a real site. The idea isn't necessarily anonymity, it's just to meet new people (cybersex partners) online. Although you can chat with anyone in the world, so the odds of two kids from the same school seeing each other are astronomical.

 

At least two people I know ran into people they knew on chatroulette back when it was very popular... Just saying.

Binge time listener first time watching crappy movie and posting. I would like to add to the mother/daughter incest happenings in the movie. When Demi finds the diary she looks at a photo booth picture of the hot for teacher girl with Miley where they are looking like they are kissing in one of the photos. And it was not friendly either...or maybe I was high. Either way, it caused Demi to close the diary. Then Demi tells Miley not to hang out with her because she is a bad influence. If I am not mistaken, the movie begins and ends with Miley and Demi spooning in bed before any bathtub scenes were happening. I don't know about you girls with moms, but my mom and I were not THAT close and I am a millennial.

[walterwoodsiv 215]

You guys hit almost everything:

• Busey-level nutso teeth
  
• Chicken
  
• Product placement everywhere
  
• Makes more sense as a French film
  
• Foreign Michael Cera
  
• Making fun of mentally handicapped people
  

 

I don't have anything clever because I was completely confused by this movie. So here are some of my notes without any context (because I don't remember).

• "Somebody wrote the line 'skank-ass hoe'."
  
• "Everybody in this movie is a sociopath."
  
• "The blonde looks like an animated character."
  
• "This is the longest movie ever made."
  
• "Was that a twist? Is she gay?" - I don't know what this note refers to.
  

 

Then my last two notes at the end of the movie:

• "Wait, what's Demi's job?"
  
• "I don't know who half of these characters are."
  

[Joven 373]

"Wait, what's Demi's job?"

 

I wondered that too, never really thought about it while the movie was playing because its a constant stream of shit, but thinking about it afterwards I had no fucking idea what she did other then a. it obviously paid well, and b. it involved clients.

[DanEngler 5249]

Okay, I get what you mean. I'd never ask for, say, a Laphroaig and coke. I think a lot of barmen would refuse to make it.

Now I kinda want to make a hidden camera webseries where I order ridiculously expensive spirits with shitty mixers, just to see the barman's reaction. "Johnnie Walker Blue & Red Bull, please."

Since my divorce...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Outside of my clients"

Bummed zooks and JDR weren't there. This movie was made for them to argue about.

[RebeccaMis 22]

This was one of those rare instances where I hated the episode. Rob and Chelsea are both so obnoxious. Jason can nail a masturbation joke, but Rob cannot, and it is particularly annoying when it's his default comment.

 

I am now going to dip back into the archives, and enjoy a different episode to cleanse me of that one.

[Homer 64]

The live episodes are pretty awesome (audio quality aside). I think they filled Jason and Junes shoes about as well as anyone could have. In fact, and I know this is blasphemous, but I barely noticed they weren't there.

 

Great job mates.

[Homer 64]

Rob and Chelsea are both so obnoxious.

 

I recommend you watch her special "One of the Greats"on Netflix, it really made me appreciate her unique brand of Female Comedy. Her laugh is also infectious to me now whereas I used to find it annoying. Hope this helps.

[MondayCity 194]

Not to be a Negative Nancy, but: worst audience questions ever. Fantastic episode otherwise.

As with Jason and June, the real audience could not be there, so Paul had to get a guest audience. In retrospect, choosing the studio audience from " The Big Bang Theory" was probably a mistake.

[walterwoodsiv 215]

I just want Paul to record them reacting to the Chicken scene. And the bathroom scene.

Maybe it's that fuckin' "How I Met Your Mother" crowd. Their show goes kaput, and now they feel the need to keep the epic feud going and ruin OUR show. Pricks...

[RyanSz 3140]

Another foreign film remade shot for shot by the original writer/director is Funny Games by Michael Haneke, which, if you haven't seen it, is about a pair of fourth-wall-breaking teens who kidnap and torture a family in their vacation lake house.

 

Between the two films, I'd say that LOL takes the cake when it comes to plumbing the depths of human depravity.

Yeah I was going to mention Funny Games as well. It's a really interesting scenario in where one movie can get critical acclaim and do well in the box office, but when an exact copy in another language is made by the same director, it fails miserably.

[Conal Cochran 21]

 

(Peretti's) laugh is also infectious to me now whereas I used to find it annoying.

 

I'm the opposite - used to find it cute but now I find it very grating and self-indulgent. Still, not as bad as Natasha Leggero's blatantly forced high pitched "laughter" in The Tourist ep.

 

 

 

(Jason) reacting to ... the bathroom scene.

 

Literally when I was watching the movie I thought "Oh man, I can't wait to hear Jason's reaction to this bit!"

 

Denied.

[WillHolston 0]

Wow those questions were cringe worthy. People trying to spazz out with snarky quips instead of letting the funny people do the talking. Come on guys, don't be that person.

 

And the audience questions are usually so good! I still go back and listen to the From Justin to Kelly question segment. I don't know what happened with this group, especially that first guy trying to ask about Demi Moore's career?

 

EXCELLENT episode, otherwise. Live episodes are always killer.

[piecole 1]

I LOVED this episode! The one thing I was hoping for that didn't happen was a sing-along of "Heart on Fire" (No Shampoo's weak ass hit song that will absolutely not get out of my head, probably because I am a Millennial), but it's all good of course. Jason and June were dearly missed, but the all stars were fantastic.

 

Also according to Wikipedia, Tish Cyrus, aka Miley's mother, was one of the producers of the film. So does this mean Miley and Tish had a strong personal connection to the mother-daughter relationship in LOL? Do they take extremely uncomfortable and inappropriate baths and showers with each other and the youngest Cyrus daughter, Noah? Is that why the Cyrus clan is so, for lack of a better phrase, fucked up? I wonder what Billy Ray thought about all of this...

[RebeccaMis 22]

 

Still, not as bad as Natasha Leggero's blatantly forced high pitched "laughter" in The Tourist ep.

 

 

Natasha's pretty heinous all around too. Pete Holmes is a braying jackass, but at least he was funny on the 88 Minutes episode.
