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!

Hey, so Marc Maron is super good at podcasting, right? Let’s have him on Comedy Bang Bang: The Podcast to talk about his ex-wife and his depression and caffeine and nicotine addictions and all of those other things he talks about so hilariously. Plus, Adam McKay’s favorite sketch group “The Birthday Boys” makes a big impression on the Comedy Bang Bang audience. Listen to just what happened that created such a reaction.

“Weird Al” Yankovic’s first appearance on the show was mostly informative. His next visit, mostly humorous. So when Al makes his third appearance, he combines the two and becomes perhaps the most beloved Comedy Bang Bang: The Podcast guest. Hear how his career has differed from that of the super-filthy and super-sexy group “Garfunkel & Oates” who may or may not know about oral sex (according to Riki’s mom). Plus, maybe the greatest plugs, and unexpected bathroom break, in Comedy Bang Bang history!

The year-end celebration continues with original UCB member Rich Fulcher. Bob Ducca stops by to let us know about some of the reasons he hasn’t stopped by lately, and Bobby Bottleservice and El Chupacabra join the fiesta! Plus, don’t miss Jerry Minor doing weird, indescribable, but hilarious things.

Scott starts his year-end celebration off with a bang. And by a bang, I mean a story about the meeting (or should I say meetings) of the great Tig Notaro and the even greater Taylor Dayne. Some of our friends (or should I say Paul F. Tompkins’ friends) call in from the Goodyear blimp (or should I say I say the good-one blimp). You’ll never believe what Jesse Ventura and Huell Howser are up to!

Comedy Bang Bang was a huge event in Los Angeles for years before it became a podcast. Well, this week Scott granted a nation-wide audience to another L.A. comedy hit, The Thrilling Adventure Hour. Enjoy an appearance from Colonel Tick-Tock, and a visit from his modern “urban” counterpart Michael Crappaport. Guest host Paul Gilmartin does a great job of keepin’ up the funny and making everyone wish Dinner and a Movie was less of the movie, more of the hosts.

Adam Scott is a phenomenal comedic actor who proves in this episode that he’s hilarious in any medium. He somehow manages to be funny even with the tragedy that is relationship experts James and Cathy McDowell and their neglected son Damian Vast. After they’ve sufficiently bummed everyone out with their upsetting views on parenting, Chris Fairbanks comes in to close us out with some of the trademark (admin note: don’t quote me on that) wit and quickness that makes him such a great stand-up comic.

The Sklars are here! The Sklar Brothers make their second appearance on the show, and do the whole twin-thing. Not to disrespect the Sklars in any fashion, but they are classless jerks compared to our other guest, J. Montgomery Scott. I know what you’re thinking: “How in the world did Comedy Bang Bang get world renowned actor and voice over artist J. Montgomery Scott?” Well, all that matters is that he’s here, and he and The Sklars get to enjoy the premiere of Weirder Scott’s new song Halo.
