Episode 91 — Tom Scharpling, Our Close Friend

[JacobCrites 4977]

Possibly a new GOAT contender.

There may be nothing funnier in the world than guests that refuse to go along with the show (though it was clear that Sharpling was a fan).

this list is wrong because Dave Thomas and Sinbad aren't numbers 1 and 2

sinbad probably shouldve been top 5, and i wont argue with anyone who wants to put Dave Thomas up there as well

Scharpling is tied with Sinbad for my favorite ep now. Sinbad was the perfect example of how to play along and Tom was the perfect example of how to play it straight. I was curious to see how TS would play it cus he has said he loves the show so he obviously gets it but he never really goes silly - he is constantly the straight man to Jon Wurster's characters.

 

Great ep, I'm gonna do a two-in-one-day on it.

[SteveH 11126]

This was a fantastic ep. Even though like 5 people have already said it, it's always hilarious when the guest doesn't want to just go along with their schtick (not in a Pauly Shore way though...then again, that was also funny, but in a bad way. I dont know what to think anymore)

 

TOP 5

 

5. Domnic Dierkes/ Nicole Byer (tie)

4. B.J. Novak/ Paul F. Tompkins again (tie)

3. Sinbad/Tom Scharpling (tie)

2. Kumail Nanjiani

1. Dave Thomas

 

TOP 5 Under-rated eps

 

5. Sean and Hayes

4. Two Bday Boys

3. Zoe Jarman

2. Sean O'Connor

1. All the other ones

 

WOAH look at that post number. what is the universe trying to tell me?

 

Edit: Here's a bonus funny joke - My list is like a Brooks Brothers store with all those ties! It was supposed to be a top 5, but turned into a top 8. It's like it went from being Chris Rock to Tom the Myspace man!

[nohorseman 5423]

I respect everyone's opinion, but I like the Mary Holland episode best.

[Jakal 4475]

I've never listened to an episode (these guys don't really seem to be my cup of tea) so I wouldn't know what the top 5 are.

Opinions are like buttholes, not everyone likes to lick them

These top 5 lists are all wrong. Here's mine.

Chappelle Show points.

[thehotdogwhisperer 144]

This was fun episode with fun and willing guest who really gets it and isn't mean. But there was a lot of hot dog talk and I think I should be pro version winner because I can make your hot dogs be nice with a whisper. Why no pro version?

[orphan yachts 217]

don't you have the thing you do? the... hot dog gallery?

[elizamuffins 4228]

Great ep! Enjoyed Bozo's Mencia joke as well. Very relieved the show continues. I had dental work done today and I don't feel so good.

[box 161]

Glad Sean continues to spread the word about reLIEgion being responsible for all the worlds problems.

 

It's rare to see a white male comedian take such a bold atheist (aka correct) stance against unicorn fairy tales after Rocky Gervais was sent to the same prison as Bill Hicks for telling too much smartness.

[Gym Sockerman 1326]

I like Tom. He's a good boy and I loved him on Crank Yankers.

i drew you this to aid your spirits in recovering. it's a robot head dropped on a scienceman's workshop floor and is leaking oil. as though that needed to be explained.

Blah blah blah great show blah blah

Nobody reads this shit anymore

All just focused on their fuckin like count

I miss my brother Chanson and our dad the Boat.

I guess i also miss that woman who volunteered to pretend to be Chansons shadow.

Its weird but i think we're finally accepting it as a family.

U know this is my favorite type of episodr when the guest is fake mad lol idk they always get my jollys. Reminds me more of RSS days when the but of the joke wasnt always Pete Holmes the two pump chump thats wife left him cuz she couldn't make him laugh which is why he now overcompensates so no one will leave him. Poor Pete, youre so annoying of course everyone will leave u.

 

So yes more shows like this.

hmmm parts of this are mean

I for one am not very concerned about my likes

[ajzthisisdumb 857]

argh I wish there were someone in my life I could share this episode with. I have played HH for a few friends, and while they chuckle, I dont think they APPRECIATE IT ENOUGH. To do so I guess Id have to explain all the callbacks/recurring gags (Sean's dad/lizard brains/Wolfcool/popcorn gallery/etc)

 

On a similar note I am making my girlfriend watch Arrested Development for the first time. Ive watched the series all the way through (lets not talk about season 4 as that never happened in my mind) probably 5 times, and while she laughs in the right spots I am constantly having to restrain myself from pausing the episode and shouting "DONT YOU COMPREHEND HOW BRILLIANT THAT JOKE WAS THAT THEY SET UP 5 EPISODES AGO!??!?!?!??!?!?!?"

 

tl;dr I have issues and need help

[JacobCrites 4977]

Impossible to rank the eps, but my top ten favorite would probably be:

Tom Sharpling

Sinbad

Dave Holmes

Zoe Jarmon

PFT #2

Adam Pally

Dave Thomas

BJ Novac

Mary Holland

David Letterman

 

EDIT: Also AJ is wrong for not liking Season 4 of Arrested Development. It's brilliant. Yeah, that's right. I threw out the B word.
