EPISODE 199 — Don't Say Pineapple: LIVE from LA Indie Improv Festival 2015

[JulyDiaz 2797]

Recorded LIVE in Los Angeles, Billy Merritt, Mary Holland, and Andy Secunda join Matt Besser for an improv4humans that kicked off the 2015 LA Indie Improv Festival! They’ll explore the consequences of having family Skype into a wedding, why Mary would mention her childhood bathroom ritual in her application essay to Yale, and why you would have a ringtone for every moment in a relationship. Plus, a humon explains the real reason why pineapple is the most suggested word. San Francisco: Matt Besser will be in ASSSSCAT at the Outside Lands Festival this Saturday, August 8th. Go to www.mattbesser.com for more info. 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!

Nice "You like baseball?" callback !

[DylanLoquaciousMedford 2]

hey matt, stop yelling, "AAAAAND SCEEEEEEEEENE" (loud music) everytime anyone else says something funny.

 

I know you're jealous of their ability to maintain a thread of humor but please stop yelling into the mic, you're gonna piss off my neighbors

[souprman 10477]

Mary Holland is my favorite! Yay!

[flimsy-von-reebles 48]

I think people just say pineapple because they're trying to be zany, and pineapple is one of the sillier fruits.

How you doin'

[pdxsean 241]

Pineapples are slang for weed on Reddit. Which makes it seem ubiquitous to me, as a redditor, but it's still obscure enough it feels like a secret code.

Pineapple is also a "joke" fruit because people will eat it or drink pineapple juice to make their semen taste better. I think there's just 10,000 different meanings behind the symbol of pineapple, so everyone's mind goes there.

 

What is the big project Matt was talking about at the end? Does anyone know yet?

[KajusX 1807]

Obviously people suggest pineapple because 1) they're hungry and 2) they're greedy, trying to get two words in as one, one-word suggestion.

[VinsanityV22 500]

Pineapples? I'm not sure I can handle I4H pineapples unless Tom Bombaclap (he's the taste-maker around here!) is also here

 

(That's literally my favorite sketch in the show's history!)

[souprman 10477]

Well I guess we know WENGERT! and Gabrus wil be on I4H #200.

[RobotCastle 7]

Get out of my house now! My god

[souprman 10477]

Dammit. He finally reads one of my questions and doesn't say my name. It was the "unpopular beliefs in circle of friends" one.

I don't know, besser.com doesn't say.

 

Hey was that Kate from Thunderdome?

[Joe Lerini 7329]

I hope we get more of Jon Gabrus's gospel lady character from the ad in the future.

[Joe Lerini 7329]

Mary Holland is my favorite! Yay!

"I was named after a Power Ranger; I'm Trini!"

[Joe Lerini 7329]

Sorry to clog the thread, but I'm totally on the side of that dude that loves Italian Horror. Lucio Fulci is my hero!

[FaceLikeThunder 2114]

This was a fantastic live ep.

Merrit was on point for sure.

Still not convinced that Andy Secunda and Andy Daly are two different people.
