312: In Heat

[Punxsutawney Hammond]

I'm not the biggest fan of recaps & commentary during a show. Opie and Anthony fall back on it too much to fill up time.

Sound bites can be funny in very small doses but a some of the Last Comic Standing clips were so bad that Keith and Chemda even said they weren't listening anymore.

Just my opinion - just something I don't like when any show does it.

I tune in to hear fresh KATG - not disasterous standup from Last Comic Standing.

I know it's relevant to the show - with the fact that Keith got screwed when going to try-out for it. I just realized that Last Comic Standing sucked dick a while ago and would rather not waste my time watching or even thinking about it.

The rest of the show was great!

Yeah, i couldnt stand the LCS shit either. you should get an mp3 player that can move forward throught the track fast so you dont have to listen to it. what sort of retard sits there "ooh that last 5 minutes was shit... hmm that last 5 minutes was shit also.... yep this 5 minutes was really painful i wish i didnt have to listen... ooh that last 5 minutes was even worse..." puh-lease! Its like watching recorded tv and complaining about ad breaks

I didn't even watch a minute of it until two weeks ago. My mother-in-law was watching it while I was picking up my kid. She's like "This guy's the best". I sat down and watched it... pure shit. They were howling, though. I love them like family, but they're the kind of people that would probably laugh at Little Man.

I didn't say that I didn't fast forward it - it was just the first KATG show I can remember that I felt compelled to skip a segment. I should've mentioned that.

With Opie and Anthony, since its live on XM, I usually skip to the Boneyard and check back later.

I'm just giving some feedback. If you love what KATG is doing, tell them about it and donate some money. I gave earlier this week because I've spent more on DVDs and CDs and gotten less entertainment out of them than the average KATG show.

Just because you got your drink for free doesn't mean you shouldn't tip the bartender.

If you don't like something they do, then call them out on it. Just explain why you don't like it. But I realize, like Keith says, 'Not everything is for you.'

I agree with you 100%; none of these comics should be considered the "top" in comedy and it's sad they are there.

For the people that are irritated that Keith and Chemda cover this show, you have to understand that comedy is Keith's thing and it hurts him to see this utter shit being spewed on television when he knows there is so much more out there that could be included. To me it's similar to a writer who has to see horrible shit getting published every day, knowing how difficult it is to get published in this industry. Or a filmmaker who has to see all the terrible movies that are given multi-million dollar budgets. (And yes, I'm included in the ranks of bitter writers who want to vomit when they read some of the crap that makes it to the bestseller lists)

Ah, Blitzy. We miss you when you're not around.

I'm embarrassed to say I was sort of over-involved in a video game for some time. But I'm finally over the current addiction ("Oblivion") and have more time for forums.

I bought an IPod this week!! I can finally bring KATG with me wherever I go!

Agreed, TV is shit - The last time I turned on the TV without popping in a DVD was for Boston Legal.

I'd rather be steered towards something that deserves to be seen and watched than to be reminded of the disaster mainstream entertainment has become.

Its a damn crime that a humor-blackhole like 'Pacific Coast Hellway' is on Sirius instead of KATG.

Heh, been there, done that. Wonder what's worse, spending all day on a video game or on these forums?
