CYBER-THUG TAKEOVER! The Thuggy one brings in his very best and thuggiest friend Miles Archer who helps cohost this unspeakably terrible overtaking of the show we love so much. Don’t be too worried, as show favorite Bobby Bottleservice shows up with Jerry O’Connell from Carpoolers (Jerry Minor was in that….whatever happened to that guy?). You’ve been warned!

What do you say to your dog that you wish someone would say to you? I bet it isn’t as funny as Andy Richter’s answer! How would you serenade a porn star? I bet it isn’t as melodious as Sarah Silverman’s song! What would you ask Elvis Costello if you could ask him anything? I bet it isn’t as hard-hitting as Scott Aukerman’s questions!

Comedy has always been a young man’s game, which is perhaps why Neil Hamburger cannot get an audience to do anything but boo and hiss until his set ends. You’d think they’d enjoy his stuff, as so much of it is about Lindsay Lohan and Britney Spears and the other people who keep this culture running. Maybe it’s because of his opening act, Mike O’Connell. I mean, he’s the type of guy who you keep your babies far away from, especially if they are Asian. Fortunately the somewhat likeable political analyst Anthony Rivera drops in who is “down for like whatewers.”

This episode features some of the best acting known to man. Nick Swardson from Comedy Central’s Reno 911 guest hosts, and Academy Award winner Gary Busey steps in for a chat (while James Adomian steps out). Don’t miss a peek into the actor’s process as Matt Walsh prepares for some of his upcoming projects, and if you pay close attention you’ll hear Paul F. Tompkins!

Many nerds dream about the meeting of Paul F. Tompkins and “Weird Al” Yankovic. Well, now you can know just exactly how it happened! Spoiler alert: It’s hilarious! And I know we all heard about the mysterious pink-lining of Tig Notaro in Vancouver, so be sure to get the truth behind the rumors!

When Comedy Bang Bang: The Podcast goes in front of a live audience, you never know what to expect! Like an audience not really understanding just what it is that Todd Barry is doing. Or that Ice T might look nothing like he does when he’s acting on TV’s Law and Order. But you can always count on Would You Rather, Garfunkel & Oates, Nick Thune, and the most famous and beloved segment: The Patented Chime-Off.

And here we are, yet another appearance of Jimmy Pardo. You’d think he’d grow tired of the live radio scene, but when he’s got great guests like shock jock Kirk rocker and Paul Stanley from KISS to help him out how can you complain? Add universally loved comedian Dana Gould and the founder of ASpecialThing.com Matt Belknap and you have a fabulous episode for your ears to feast upon.

I know a lot of you have been complaining about the fast paced comedic nature of the show, so we thought we’d bring in Nathan Brantley from Morning Becomes Eclectic to slow the pace down a bit. It’s kind of hard to do that when you’ve got the comedic genius of Chris Hardwick and Charlene Yi at work. They try the first (and as of typing, last) ever game of What Is It Wearing and Charlene shows off some of her talent for impressions and music.

Of course we all miss Mr. Show, but fortunately Scott recreates the magic by having on Mary Lynn Rajskub. She updates us on what has happened in her life since 1996, and that one show she’s on. It’s a number or something….ugh, do you guys know what I’m talking about? Ugh, well…Reggie Watts makes his first appearance which is one of the greatest things that has happened in the world. The only thing that could make the episode better: Rory Scovel! Oh, and one other thing, Scott Aukerman’s new hit single Tangelo! And one more thing…oh wait, that’s it. Scratch that.

Rarely does the show go super-informative-like, but this episode is a great look into the life of the “Not Ready for Prime Time Players” that make up Saturday Night Live. From the classic Laraine Newman, to the modern Casey Wilson, and the fan-favorite Kevin Nealon learn about the evolution of America’s most famous sketch show.

It’s always great when Scott brings on his friends from Mr. Show, but it’s hard not to be disappointed by the fact that Jerry Minor has given up comedy in place of music. Granted, he’s an amazing musician, as you’ll hear, but it’s still disappointing. Fortunately the fabulous Andy Kindler is there to keep the funny flowing. Brendon Walsh makes his first appearance and talks about his comedy beginnings, as well as his comedy currents.

Unfortunately, Tom Lennon had a hard time getting to the show on time. Fortunately, the new announcer Lil’ Gary was there to keep the pace up. In between Gary’s shouts of confusion, you’ll hear some hi-larious jokes by Matt Braunger and hear about Matt Walsh’s new business plans.

Andy Dick and Bob Odenkirk were two of the cast members of the fabulously fabulous Ben Stiller Show, and they’re on this episode! They bring in new L.A. resident Chelsea Peretti in for some great improvisation and sketch work, like a Cheaters remake and Bob’s last words on his death bed. Several moments from this episode made the “Best of ’09” episode, so you won’t want to miss out!

This episode is all about fame! Famous twitterer Steve Agee talks a bit about his trending topic #2DoucheConvo, Natasha Leggero does the best “ladies comedy” you could ever hear, and Matt Besser tries to figure out just what it would take to get him a trophy, or medallion, or certificate, or maybe just a belt.

Sometimes really talented comedians get some fame. And by sometimes, I mean in the case of Zach Galifianakis and Andy Samberg. Hear a little bit about each of their rises to fame, but certainly do not miss learning about Life of the Party Inc, and the future famous Los Angeles-based comedian, Shooter.
