EPISODE 180 — #RaceTogether

[JulyDiaz 2797]

John Gemberling, Gil Ozeri, and Amanda Sitko show us exactly what it would be like if a Starbucks customer attempted to start a #RaceTogether conversation on today’s improv4humans with Matt Besser! They’ll also explore why you shouldn’t mansplain, visit a new Woody Allen themed Starbucks, and find themselves in a real Groundhog’s Day situation. Make sure to get the Upright Citizens Brigade television show season 3 now available on DVD, the UCB Comedy Improv Manual, and Dragoon’s new album at dragoongalaxy.bandcamp.com!

This should be good. The guy from Arkansas who thinks that someone calling racist people in the Midwest racist is the most devastating thing ever!

[Shampoodler 1489]

Great ep. This is not a DVD.

Guess I missed something

Starting off with "titties" was very fitting considering I took this picture of graffiti where I live (Vietnam) today:

I don't know how to embed, so sorry!

[Shannon 2953]

I embedded your picture for you be easy on me... hope you don't mind!

Thanks so much for the help!

[Haze 112]

Well that got dark...

[MultipleReferee 176]

This lineup did not disappoint. Holy Jesus.

[Hagbard Celine 290]

Ha, I totally thought this was a "Yo, Is This Racist?" episode til the i4h thumbnail loaded.

[DubipR 485]

I was laughing my ass off with this episode. Hearing Engineer Brett laugh in the background while John was screaming as Haitian Joe in the bath was the topper.

 

NOT A PODCAST! NOT A PODCAST!

Ugh. This guy again. Go get outraged somewhere else.

[MultipleReferee 176]

Also, had to mention that Haitian Joe gave me flashbacks of Chris Gethard's 'Egyptian Mike' character. Great stuff.

[hypnotizingchickens 1025]

wait... is this a ketchup commercial?

[Lukas Holmes 2287]

We gettin' outraged? Oh shit! I can't wait to hear this one now.

[mikeeschmee 35]

It took me far too long to realize why they were redoing the scenes in the ebay sketch.

[Lukas Holmes 2287]

BTW, I wish every single argument could end like the crosswalk/wrong-way guy one did. "I was wrong and so were you." "Fair point, let us part as friends."

Gemberlicking doing a Cosby impression made me lose my shit

[Corky Kneivel 113]

3 of my I4H faves, can't wait to listen

[Keith Urban Dictionary 216]

I love how they tied in the Groundhog day scenario back into the Starbucks bit from earlier in the episode

 

Also my youtube clip made it into the episode which makes me endlessly happy

[Kickpuncher 5012]

"They were white kids?"

 

"Please don't make me say this."

 

Great episode, the Woody Allen Starbucks scene was my favorite.

[VinsanityV22 500]

I lost my shit so many times. But I came after hearing, "Well, monkeys get those vests when they're tested (for rabies)", rofl! What a great episode. Fantastic lineup this week, Matty B!

[JacobCrites 4977]

Oh man. The string of sketches from #Racetogether on was just brilliant; probably the darkest the show has been, but not needlessly dark. I'm always amazed at how no matter how crass/dark/gross/weird these scenes get they're always about something.

[JacobCrites 4977]

It took me far too long to realize why they were redoing the scenes in the ebay sketch.

Me too. But it took Ozeri even longer

[wakefresh 689]

Ugh. This guy again. Go get outraged somewhere else.

 

Nah, I'll be outraged right here, thank you and you can do what your normally do in life -- ignoring minorities. It's a win-win situation.

[wakefresh 689]

Great ep. This is not a DVD.

 

 

 

 

 

Guess I missed something

 

There was an epic White Tears episode where Matt and the fat guy complained about a guest on "Yo! Is This Racist" who said people in the Midwest were racist. To Matt and the others on that ep, this was like the most egregious example of racism in our modern times.
