I love Thursdays

[KajusX 1807]

I'm really happy with myself because I predicted Boron would be the element! It's a funny word.

[AlbinLundholm 4020]

I need to try that movie app

[justinmh05 1968]

I hope that person who 'thought the musical episodes were behind us' doesn't get upset again!

[fleergen 92]

I also really love Thursdays -- but do improvisers know that when they make prolonged wet mouth sounds I have to RIP my headphones from my ears. I couldn't even listen to that make-out scene, which is a shame, because all three of those improvisers (and Besser) were on point this episode.

[justinmh05 1968]

I love the fact that the very next Horatio Earwolf episode after the complaints about his Kanye's mom joke on CBB included him initiating a prolonged sketch about the death of Paul Walker.

 

Kismet!

[justinmh05 1968]

"I'm Fred Durst!"

 

"You're FRED Durst?"

 

"That's right. I did it all for the nookie, god dammit!"

Don't we all already do that loooooooooooooooooooool

[MultipleReferee 176]

Good ep. Love where the last scene ended up going.

Kismet!

 

That. Was. Delightful.

[RachelElle 217]

This woman who's leading everyone on a wild goose chase by making up all these random details about this fake app is driving me nuts.

the direction that scene took after the audience response to horatios joke was pure genius

[watchayakan 1021]

Overall grepisode but the car wreckage race scene is best of material. I was grooving in my car and laughing hysterically at Shannon O'Neill.

Shannon is so funny. I wish she could be on the show more often, but I know she's based in NY, and I4H is usually in LA, so it's highly unlikely.

 

This episode was hilarious throughout though. Love all these improvisers.

[Hot - Slunch 772]

Great episode. I really liked Shannon and Horatio's chemistry. They both went to weird places in scenes and seemed to get a kick out of each other for having done that.

[be easy on me 330]

That cat app 1) doesn't make sense 2) sounds exactly like the bullshit you'd expect to hear about at SXSW. In fact, hearing them take the piss out of that one and the movie choice app was too damn funny.

 

The too soon discussion couldn't have been more on point. I kind of wonder if Besser was at the first CBB! taping, heard the fall out, and landed perfectly into a "too soon" scenario.

[Kickpuncher 5012]

I will never, ever get tired of hearing crazy stories from the early years of UCB.

It's another case of someone trying to be funny by just being "random" with no inflections. People like this make me crazy.

[qaop_space 87]

Not seen Sean Conroy on I4H in a long while, I miss him.

[watchayakan 1021]

At work today I started chuckling out of seemingly nowhere because I remembered the whole 4000 women thing. Good for Walsh.

[saddlebags 581]

the "did you have a window"

"no I would bring a saw and cut a hole"

"fuck you asshole"

"horatio wheezing noises""

 

killed me

[Spenny and the Jets 178]

Maybe I'm just the most immature person in the world, but pulling a tampon out with a 4x4 absolutely KILLED me.
