EPISODE 351 — CBB: The Movie

[Where Dem Elephant Bones 363]

O my god. Scott made an Alien Ant Farm reference. The episode should have just ended abruptly at that point.

[Bernard_Shakey 3484]

Bronson Magnifico kind of adapted Phrancis Phord Coppala's catchphrase no?

"She sells seashells by the seashore..why would I buy shells if I'm at the shore? I can just pick them off the ground.

Work on your business model."

 

Great episode, great pronunciation of the word premise.

 

Wow, not sure how this happened. Did Scott read this on one of the episodes? Maybe I listened to it and the premise stuck in my head or something..

 

edit: link to PPC's post for context: http://forum.earwolf...business-model/

 

I thought he did, that's why I looked it up, but I might have made that up the first time yours was repeated

Anyway, I didn't mean to spoil your parade and make it rain.

 

I've been panickedly flipping through October/November eps to listen to their catchphrases and haven't heard it yet, but that doesn't mean he didn't read it on the air at some point. I'm hoping we just both stumbled across the same dumb concept, which my googlings after week 1 had already told me was completely not original.

Hmm, maybe this is just my raging jealousy about your success in the catchphrase business as of late, but this could be grounds for dismissal of your catchphrase all together, thus opening the way up for others to have a shot at being famous for a week again.

Again - boiling over with jealousy. I don't hate you personally I just hate the success you've received.

I don't know. I've never heard one second of Hollywood Handbook, although it probably seems that I should since I'm working in Hollywood. I don't know what Comedy Bang Bang is either, although I probably should. They seem to have a television show. All I know, after being redirected to this thing, which seems to be a podcast, is that these guys, Sean and Hayes, they seem to have an understanding of how the business works. And I applaud this Scott character for giving them so much praise. And I have to say, it takes no effort at all for people to get sucked into the Hollywood Handbook clique and have them talking this bullshit.

 

Loco, your not quite doing it right.

[souprman 10477]

Mmmm, and I'll speak on that. Ya see, the people that listen to that. The "listeners"... they'll listen to that and think "Hmmm that's funny".... and then they'll think "oh well, yeah, there's no secret there".....and then they'll go on the forums and be like "sure, yes, showbiz is blah, blah, blah..." and what not. Then they will say things, and using the technique of "yes, and...", they'll fill up 9 pages of comments.

Yes, and then they'll think they had a good idea but forget. Yep, and then the vibe between themselves and their own butt will be immediate. Yeah, and then...

[souprman 10477]

M.F.ers wanna do it.

EDIT: Sorry Souprman already said this.

 

So let me say, I'm glad to see these two shows colliding. I for one an a fan of both.

There wasn't a way to double like this so I had to quote it.

Is this that antihumor I've heard about? I don't understand your angle

[greggy 15909]

how much would it cost for you to eat a average size bug? not a gross looking one even...im at $20

[mwn 5470]

As we all know, the Father is the Son, which by the transitivity of ancestry implies that the Grandfather is the Grandson.

I'm honestly having a hard time telling if that first part is actual Bible stuff or if it's from New No-Nos. I already confuse the two so much...

[JeffBurtMacklinMarra 6724]

$19 dollars.

I don't know, Greggy, it would have to be a pretty gross one for me to pay as much as $20 to eat it.

First CBB I deleted 20min in, these guys are annoying. I guess the silver lining is we don't have to hear them in ads anymore.

[dixon 5920]

There's nothing platonic about a pinch.

[NoahTomaszewski 2768]

Nice try ADUB. Not gonna get us worked up that easy!

 

GRRRR I'm Mad

your attention span is so cute I just want to pinch it.

[RanRan 3242]

This was great. I laughed many times. Good job to all involved. btw Bang is a great, funny name for a comedian, very prescient choice by Mr. and Mrs. Rodgeman on that one, how did they know he'd be on Comedy Bang Bang one day? Also did Hayes play "B.O.B." by Outkast because it says Bang's name so much in that song or because it says part of the name of the podcast in the song or both? Anyway, enjoyed it very much and I see a bright future ahead for all of these people.

 

EDIT: Or maybe just because he knew it would be so entertaining to listen to the song while staring at Dixon's gif?

What's ADUB stand for anyway?

Asshole Doesn't Understand Brilliance???

You and I debated some topic pretty aggressively a few weeks back, but I couldn't agree with this comment more.

[Casaba 5942]

This episode was lame. These jokers come on this great show and then they make a bunch of jokes about everything like some smart wise guys or something! Really, guys? I guess you're just a couple of funny fellas who like to laugh a lot and make others laugh too? Is that what this is? Geez Louise! It's like, c'mon! You just think you're a couple of handsome guys, and you're funny, and you can just bring your beautiful funny friends on here to make a bunch of jokes?! The nerve! This did not at all make me laugh a bunch while on public transportation and elicit a funny look from a lady wearing a black leather Janet Jackson hat after I snort-laughed! Harumph!

unfortunately the sync is way off...

[McSmashington 521]

Oh god dammit!

Now I have to remember that Alien Ant Farm was a thing.

[Jachin 123]

This was a good episode. I don't know if it's been said, but I gotta say, those Handbook fellas are a couple of, well, wacko goofballs.

[Joe Lerini 7329]

Not just a thing. But the best thing! I'm not kidding.

 

EDIT: I love everything but "Smooth Criminal" though. Thumbs down, CBB.

[djsexyrandal 153]

Loved this. (Mostly) enjoyed the ads leading up to this, really loved the episode.

 

They mentioned this in the ep and I'm sure it's been covered in the 9 pages I didn't read, but -- any good eps (RIP) to check out for first time hollywood handbook listeners?

[djsexyrandal 153]

Also, I appreciate that Scott acknowledged that us message board posters have great ideas on what/who is/isn't funny.
