"I'll just need a hundred bucks to get started…."

At least you're taking the bit somewhere new.

Dibs on Koopa, then GTF outta my way.

I'm not sure Nealon or Schwartz were on top of their games either. Just a "blah" episode…which seems to be happening more and more lately. Whenever the show picks up any momentum, they drop a fxkin' dud on us the next week.

Outstanding.

Meh. Ben Schwartz has been a part of some of CBB's best moments (first Huell Howser, Andy Daly's Hot Dog episode), but this week was a total dud. The Jennifer Tilly voice was a bit too spot-on, making it painful to listen to for more than a few minutes.

"Sklarbro Country…it's a sweet stink. Breathe it in."

I'm baffled that the band caught on while that album remains largely forgotten. It's EASILY the most accessible, and I think the best, though I haven't spent enough time with Hollindagain or SJ.

Meh. I think they could benefit from some old-fashioned pop sensibility from time to time.

More Feels, less Merriweather please.

Yep, much love for S1-3, but the show was at its best in 4 and 5.

No one else thought the "Would you know who I was talking about if I said Tyler Perry's Laura Linney?" bit was funny?

Agreed. I've been as hard on the show this year as anyone, but tonight's was a return to form. Just enough funny moments to warrant my time. "Keith…Urban." "Go on…"

He'd been gone for so long that I forced myself to power through, and it was worth it.

Agreed, Hot Dog is def one of my favorite Andy Daly bits. I wish he'd reprieve his non-Don Dimello characters more often. And also keep doing Don Dimello.

Ugh, I hear ya.

I thought they were always friends. I know Aukerman has stated that he hated the phone corner bit (which I actually think is kinda true), but I don't know if they ever feigned actual dislike for each other.

I dunno, man. Like I said, I laughed the first time around.

It was funny the first time, but it does not hold up at all. That bit only worked in contrast to all the committed character work performed on the show. No lasting comic value, like the first appearance of Huell Howser, which I seem to be able to listen to over and over without getting tired of.

"I feel like if God didn't want us to j- that sh*t off he wouldn't have given us sandwich bags filled with warm grape jelly and rubber bands."
