Y’know, I wasn’t too big on the Suicide House episodes early on, and I was totally with Scott when he seemed annoyed that the fans expected the same schtick every year, but now I suspect the Stockholm Syndrome has settled in. Hearing the usual crew hit all the familiar spooooky beats was total comfort food for me this…

She really does, even though she's always playing the contrarian on CBB. It makes her come off as impish rather than dickish.

She also had no clue what (Pyow-Pyow) Power Wheels were. It was fun listening to everyone try to coax her into understanding before finally just breaking down and describing in detail what she was "looking at."

Her total condescension toward Scott and everything about his show never stops being hilarious to me.

I love when the fellas spar with a contentious guest, and Pally might be the most contentious of the lot.

Comedy Bang Bang was an embarrassment of riches last week. Claudia O’Doherty and Weird Al are both up there for my favorite non-character guests (Well, I guess Claudia’s technically doing a character version of herself) and Jessica McKenna is rapidly becoming one of my favorite character guests. Even though it wasn’t…

The place where I donate blood displays posters of people whose lives were saved by blood transfusions, including a former cop named Dave Blood. That alone makes me suspect that they’re making people up and are probably just hoarding my blood for themselves.

You are exactly who I knew would be a fellow Good Life booster. I have fond recollections of the episode where Drew Carey's buttoned-up office nerd bonded with Shay Astin's surly teen over a mutual love for the Grateful Dead, and one where Caponera was trying to make the name of his lock manufacturer employer into…

I had to look it up to make sure that was really Roger "Robin Colcord" Rees in the lead role. Man alive, that would've been some show.

I’m happy to see some mention of The Good Life. I’ve been carrying a torch for that show for years. I have no idea if it would hold up today, but for the brief summer that it aired, I was all about it. It was a cleverly written slice-of-life/workplace ensemble show with just enough of an edge to keep it from being a…

In Victor's defense, those were some really nice shoes. That moment was amazing. How Small is able to compartmentalize which character is part of which conversation and shift gears on a dime blows my mind.

He does, somehow even without broaching any of those topics.

I've listened back to a lot of Harris appearances on various shows and it's unsettling how frequently everybody jokes about him dying. That's partly because of hindsight, though. Untimely deaths are a hallmark of Earwolf comedy. Heck, Claudia O'Doherty was "dead" by the end of today's CBB.

I'm in the tiny minority who actually prefers the live episodes. HDTGM is one show where I feel like the audience energy really feeds the onstage interactions.

I'm not a wrestling guy and knew nothing of Zach Gowen going into this week's Spontaneation, but man, that cat is one of the best interviews PFT's had. All of the stuff about working the overnight desk at a hotel was golden, particularly the story of being forced to hang out with a drug-addled, elderly millionaire…

If they could strike a balance that lets them maintain continuity while also being able to reset semi-regularly, I could definitely see the show having legs. It's probably not sustainable for Drew Tarver's basketball coach to be moonlighting as seven different women in the long run, for instance, but it's plenty funny…

It helps that Scott either finds the character genuinely irritating or does a masterful job of selling it.

Leave us not forget Victor, Tiny and Willy sharing a room with Frank Dorito, two pretty funny dudes from truTV, and Classic Jarles. That was all the chaos and conflict I expect from a top-shelf CBB.

And Jensen insisting on filling his with actual rap icons made it all the better.

Sean and Hayes popping up on Hard Nation was as unexpected as it was delightful. I liked that they came in with the least political concept the show has seen - two disgruntled relatives of Ken Bone who desperately want to go viral - and wound up making maybe the most politically relevant episode of its run to date. I…
