Episode 271 - Here Comes the Petroleum: Live at UCB Sunset

[DaltonMaltz 1119]

Ian Roberts, John Gemberling, and Gil Ozeri join Matt Besser live at UCB Sunset for this week’s improv4humans. Audience questions inspire scenes about fine bathroom art, a greeting card writers’ room, and the world’s leading sexual engineer. Later, they open the very first private McDonalds, and a feudal lord roleplays as one of his filthy peasants.

Great ep! The greeting cards scene was awesome.

This was pretty great. The greeting card writers' room scene was particularly inspired.

"What's on the dollar menu today?"

 

Jesus.

For me, one of the most astounding things about this episode is that it featured a final scene that ultimately had to be shut down by Ian Roberts because it was headed in such a horrifying direction, but that -- despite his presence on stage -- the aforementioned vile horror was not being primarily driven by John Gemberling. Who would have ever seen that coming?
