Love all of Tim's points. These "comedians" just don't get it. Stick to ONE thing, quit dabbling in "everything".

2023-08-18 18:03:57 +0000 UTCMy clip sender coupon code didn't work. Can anyone else confirm this too or is it just me?
Hum
2023-08-17 18:58:49 +0000 UTCAn all-world effort by Fred to not break at several moments.
Chad
2023-08-16 18:31:56 +0000 UTCoh so very brilliant lol, fucking love it
Timothy Mclean
2023-08-15 19:36:00 +0000 UTCIncredible
Jimmy P
2023-08-14 19:54:53 +0000 UTCSPOT ON- Talking over the guest and interrupting / not letting them finish, belittling them, complains about everything new and different, pointless foul language, talking crap about things he hasn’t seen. AMAZING!

2023-08-13 01:58:24 +0000 UTCI haven't had the pleasure of watching what this is spoofing, but I don't think the discomfort was lost on me. Tim and Fred are so masterful at staying in their roles and egging the other on. I would love more of this with other comedians just to see what would happen and where it goes. Loved the On Cinema-esque feel. Great job!

Tim Erbes
2023-08-13 01:41:45 +0000 UTCIt's a (tremendous) parody of B*ll M*her's incredibly tedious "Club Random" podcast
Seth
2023-08-12 23:57:08 +0000 UTCI have no idea what this is taking the piss out of. Is this another podcast ?
Travis M Kemble
2023-08-12 14:06:20 +0000 UTCWe do have barbie now. And it's not good frankly. We need more bear pokers to take a stand. Frankly
Richard
2023-08-12 08:15:30 +0000 UTCI use it to send clips from Rosanne to ABC and all the ad geniuses responsible for the very sad sitcom, Connors to lett them know that the majorly of white people are very Sad about their decision
Richard
2023-08-12 08:11:57 +0000 UTCso, so good
alexander kaye
2023-08-12 07:14:12 +0000 UTCFred is a good guest, quite lovable.
Joseph Allen
2023-08-12 04:07:01 +0000 UTCI totally always said they were poking the bear and my friends were like “no”. Thanks, Tim.

2023-08-12 00:54:08 +0000 UTCIt’s going to get much worse here for you. Hang in there.

2023-08-12 00:53:11 +0000 UTCThis is so fucking funny. Ugh I wish they’d do something like this quarterly!! Great stuff!!!❤️❤️❤️

Steve Clark
2023-08-11 21:18:18 +0000 UTCWhy is Fred being so aggressive? Tim’s just trying to say his free speech and Fred keeps silencing him completely
Travis F. Welch
2023-08-11 20:21:35 +0000 UTCtheres one instance near the end where Fred looks away off into the distance as if he's checking to see where the door is and cant get out of there fast enough. so subtle and so funny. insanely good overall. expect it to blow up.
Matt James
2023-08-11 19:46:00 +0000 UTCThis was spectacular. I laughed so hard through the whole thing. Love the dedication, and set recreation, all the details!

Brandon Fasse
2023-08-11 14:05:27 +0000 UTCThis was perfect, I can only imagine the amount of backlash this will receive. We need more shows like Portlandia to poke the bear again haha.
Steven Meltzer
2023-08-11 14:04:47 +0000 UTCI wrote a show description based on the show descriptions of Club Random on the Podcasts app: Tim Heidecker and Fred Armisen on Bill Hader, if SNL is taped, how this is a clove cigarette, why there will be no more movies in 2024, rules on what characters comics are allowed to portray, Portlandia’s takedown of the woke hive mind, flying on airplanes, why Fred thinks he has the authority to believe in God, and SO much more, watch to the end!!!!!!!
hagclaims8
2023-08-11 12:26:15 +0000 UTCTim wasn't afraid to really "go there"
Lady J.J. Armes
2023-08-11 12:02:35 +0000 UTCLove when Tim is getting all sprawled out and Fred has to keep his feet away from Tim’s.

Michael Vaughn Green
2023-08-11 04:05:19 +0000 UTCNailed it. Hit every point of weirdness that is modern Maher and Club Random. The set. The aggrievement. Fred navigating the intoxicated aggressiveness of his interviewer. I don't know how popular Club Random is, but I hope this goes at least as viral as the Rogan Thanksgiving thing.

Matthew van Dam
2023-08-11 03:12:16 +0000 UTCthis conversation was EPIC!!! i'm gonna have to watch it again with some whiskey and a cigar when the wifey is away!!
Bob L.
2023-08-11 02:52:59 +0000 UTCTim getting a lot of praise — and rightly so — but Fred absolutely killed this too. Brilliant from both of them.

Tim Stahl
2023-08-10 18:12:19 +0000 UTCTim, the most awkward podcast I’ve ever listened to was Bret Easton Ellis hosting Fred and Carrie. Ellis did a 20 minute opening and only at the end did it become apparent that Fred and Carrie had silently been sitting there live as he delivered it. Please ask him about that experience.

2023-08-10 17:59:02 +0000 UTCWell Hader's good. Hader's good at what he does, because he does impressions, and he does characters, and he can do a lot. And now he's acting. He's brilliant. I'd love to have him on the show.

Toby Poole
2023-08-10 17:45:09 +0000 UTCIt was interesting just how little Fred knows about the current climate out there, TBH – very wild to see!
Joseph Teegardin
2023-08-10 17:45:00 +0000 UTCAmazing!!! And of course after it ended the algorithm loaded up an ep of Club Random. A seamless transition!
