Comedy Bang Bang: The Podcast

August 26, 2010

Sometimes Comedy Bang Bang gets serious, and today is the case when Scott finally breaks down the all-important question on everyone’s mind: What is Fred Armisen’s ethnic makeup? Buuut seriously folks, Scott and Fred discuss the aspects of Saturday Night Live (or Sanightli as most people know it) that nerds out there want to know, from what it’s like to be a newcomer to just how Bill Hader perfects those impressions. After a quick music break by Trainwreck, Howard Kremer teaches us how to have a summah and Fred Armisen announces his and Carrie Brownstein’s upcoming program Portlandia. Would You Rather, Plugs, music, comedy, and other things, what more could you want???

Rob Corddry and Lake Bell take a break from rehearsing the movie What Happens In Las Vegas, Nevada STAYS in Las Vegas, Nevada (which I believe is some sort of Japanese shadow puppet theatre) to talk to Scott about their Adult Swim series Children’s Hospital. Fan Favorite Buddy “Cake Boss” Valastro makes his second appearance and talks about building a cake to take into the afterlife. After a bit of other-world communication, the gang launches into a game of Would You Rather and a great round of plugs with a great plugs theme song (but please don’t fast-forward straight to it).

And now, the exciting conclusion of EPISODE 66! Scott, Brett, and Bob try working out their differences and trying to heal the past with a performance of a touching recreation of past events. I won’t spoil how it ends, but I will tell you that they have time for a round of Would You Rather and the plugs you have been waiting patiently for since last week.

Well, I guess it was time that someone had “the talk” with Comedy Bang Bang: The Podcast. It seems appropriate that it would be comedy legend Bob Odenkirk. Bob and Scott talk about the birds and the bees and the history of TV’s and myths and legends regarding the band U2 and all the other questions a pre-pubescent comedy podcast might have. Comedy legend Bob Odenkirk talks a bit about his show Breaking Bad Kids on Naughty Nick and Scott helps comedy legend Bob Odenkirk out with his upcoming concept album “Motown Bus Through Middle Eearth”. When an unexpected and unwelcome guest shows up, Scott really has to learn the meaning of “host”, with a helpful acronym from comedy legend Bob Odenkirk. This cliffhanger episode truly will leave you hanging…on a cliff.

This week Comedy Bang Bang: The Podcast switched studios and I know what you guys are thinking: 1) Will we still get topical material about the world today, and 2) Will our favorite guests still find a way into the studio? Well, you’ll be excited to hear Scott and the Sklar’s discuss Fantastic Four, the band Boston, the movie Outbreak, and other top topics you’ve been dying to hear a comedic take on. Plus, Scott’s ex-step father Bob Ducca finds the studio and let’s us in on one of the fascinating parts of his past, as well as the problems he’s having with his neck and his morning journals about his family. And don’t worry about being a sports fan, any and all can enjoy The SklarBro Country podcast, assuming you are an orphan.

Well, we got a couple a ladies on the show today. They talk about their boyfriends, and hanging out, and showing each other their buttholes, and their hit TV shows, and what Harrison Ford thinks of their work, and other stuff that girls blabber on and on about. Repeat guest Merrill Shindler comes in to talk about the food he enjoys in LA and to tell us a bit about what you can expect when going to his house. All of this plus a big announcement regarding Earwolf (whatever that is)!

Matt (pronounced “wee-ner”) Weiner likes to keep all the secrets of Mad Men close to the vest…so let’s all not tell him about this episode, okay? I mean, can you imagine how angry he’d be if he knew we knew about *CENSORED* and *CENSORED* and don’t you DARE tell him that Jon Hamm and Rich Sommer mentioned *CENSORED*. Fortunately, before they could spill TOO many secrets, Jerald “T-Bones” Tibbons comes in to talk about some controversial issues like teabagging and Green Acres. Don’t miss this glimpse into Don Draper’s private life and feelings about artificial sugar.

What a great episode! Now tell me, am I being serious, or sarcastic? The boys from Don’t Stop or We’ll Die stop by for some crazy mad jams, and Andy Richter makes his first appearance since that whole….kerfuffle he was involved with. Plus, Scott gets a lesson from a legendary podcaster, the host of Humor Laser Beam Radio, Bennett Stephens.

Did you know that Jimmy Pardo voted for Sarah Palin? Well, just make sure you don’t tell Sarah, it would crush her! Also, did you know that someone is capable of being offended by the super funny Rory Scovel? Well, you can hear just how he did it this week on Comedy Bang Bang.

Dreams DO come true, nerds, and even the notorious grump Scott Aukerman has a heart sometimes. Why else would he let clearly obnoxious, secretly horny tween Marissa Wompler try her hand at being an intern. Unfortunately, sometimes your dreams will also get crushed, like when you hope and pray that Brendon Walsh will stop doing his Flavio character. Donald Glover just might be the only 100% charming part of this episode, but he’s definitely not the only funny part.

Important Message: We here at Comedy Bang Bang: The Podcast are giving Todd Glass’ mother a new car! For free! As long as her credit is good! And it’s only for lease! And…we cannot guarantee she’ll get the car! Also, on an unrelated topic, if anyone see’s a German pretzel maker near the Hollywood sign, tell him that there is something to live for and that hell isn’t nearly as great as it seems. Oh, and Paul F. Tompkins!

You’ve heard Steel Panther on Comedy Bang Bang: The Podcast before, but isn’t it always better to get heavy metal PLUS conversation from the people making it? And if you’re going to have someone proctor a conversation with such eloquent and articulate people as heavy metal musicians, it should be someone who can shred a little himself. Someone like, say, Rob Huebel? Done!

Two first time guests join us on this episode of Comedy Bang Bang: The Podcast. The co-host is none other than Mr. Show alumni Brian Posehn. The other, noted food critic Merrill Shindler, sits down to talk about some of his favorite places to eat around Los Angeles. Both of these guys are such long-time friends of Scott’s that they are actually able to go back in time to one of the darker days of Scott’s life.

While Scott always gets interesting guests on the show, Comedy Bang Bang gets its first television mega-star in the Cake Boss himself, Buddy Valastro. He, along with David Higgins, wait patiently for Dave Foley to show up (spoiler alert: he doesn’t) by talking about David’s career, how Buddy got into cakes, and playing the first ever game of Fortunately, Unfortunately.

I know, I know, you guys are tired of these drop-in’s from Scott’s ex-step-father, but for whatever reason Bob Ducca won’t stay away. But please don’t ignore the episode just because of that! Jason Mantzoukas talks about working with Scott on the 2009 MTV Movie Awards, and Natasha Leggero gives her opinion about how women can get what they want. Plus, there’s jizz talk!
