Good call on not waiting a week to feature this episode of CBB.

This news makes me genuinely sad. Not just because there won't be any more Foam Corners or Farts & Procreations, but because I know so many comedians I love must be really, really destroyed by it. Gonna go re-listen to some podcasts now.

I feel like it started as a conscious attempt to push back against the continuity-heavy characters. Len Wiseman can be summed up in two or three sentences, as opposed to, say, Cake Boss, who eventually collapsed under the weight of accumulated nonsense.

I believe the most aggressive reuse of dialogue in cartoon history was by the Roadrunner.

Oh, cousin Ryan, really.

Aw, man. My fatal flaw has at last been revealed: On podcasts, I kind of can't tell the difference between Paul Rust, Neil Campbell, and Harris Wittels.

Maybe it's just me, but for me, Neil Campbell is at his best when he has the flimsiest scrap of a character ("Creepies!") and then has to stick with it forever. There's something about listening to him scramble around to get out of the corner he's painted himself into that I find very entertaining.

Steve Higgins would be great. I think the Comedy Channel had stopped airing The Higgins Boys and Gruber when Maron hosted Short Attention Span Theater, but they could probably bond over being there before it became an Important Channel.

I love that they somehow invented a prank that only works when it's turned on its creators.

I am the next guy, and it is clear that my love for Womping up Jamz far outshines yours.

"Mission to Mars" doesn't get mentioned often enough when people are talking about movies based on Disneyland rides. Admittedly, I can't PROVE that this boring Disney movie was based on the equally boring Disneyland ride of the same name, but it seems logical.

I'd always kind of wondered why a Jewish guy had a last name with "St." in it.

"You were born a schmuck, and you'll die a schmuck. Welcome to Hell, idiot."

Thanks! (Finally, my "same avatar everywhere on the Internet" strategy pays off)

Mine too. I can't use it to introduce people because it requires so much background knowledge, but if you know everything that's in play, it's just the funniest thing in the world.

My favorite thing about Throwing Shade is that instead of "Yes, And" they manage to get a lot of comedic mileage out of "No, shut up, you're wrong" without ever breaking the concept.

Good night, and keep watching the skis.

"He's history's greatest monster!"

I wish I did not recognize that quote.

So you're saying that Dracula being part of "a whole Universal monster-movie reality" is somehow different from the 1940s, when Dracula and the Wolf Man and Frankenstein were all appearing in movies like "House of Frankenstein" and "House of Dracula" together? Those guys were always meeting each other. And also Abbott
