Season 2 Discussion

I like the recurring "Who's your zaddy" game. But I have never heard of Wario or Scrub Daddy so I would have been lost. 

I don't like when they do skits, I don't think it works. Very few of the stuff they do out in front of the podiums really works.

Tuesday's episode with Taylor (Ortega), Josh and Kurt was fun.

Make it a Monologue was different.

FTW was odd.  Guess the number of hats in a video clip.

Taylor won -- and received the restaurant inspection certificate as a prize.

I want that butterfly shirt that Diona was wearing on Thursday's show.

[ottoDbusdriver]

Wednesday's episode with Josh, Suzi, and Danielle was pretty good too.

Maggie the dog was adorable in the 'Tell Your Secrets to this Dog' game.

Josh had the line of the episode -- when shown how Grindr is building an AI to act as a virtual wingman, the comedians were asked to come up with a line how these AI wingmen would flirt with each other.

Josh's answer: "Looking to suck disk. Can be hard or can be floppy."

FTW was something new -- Josh and Danielle had to keep naming off fake GooseBumps book titles until someone paused and couldn't come up with a title.

Danielle won -- and received a deck of paint color samples.

[ottoDbusdriver]

Thursday's episode with Diona, Scott, and Colton was just so-so.

The auction was just dumb.

FTW was 'Guess who has more screen time'.  Which was also pretty dumb.

Colton won -- and received a Good Housewife magazine from 1954.

I'd like to know the point of these dumb "games" like guessing what objects weigh the same as a pumpkin. 

I'm close to removing this show from series record. Once in awhile they have a good panel, but more often than not it's entirely skippable. The hour-long format simply doesn't work for this type of show. And while Taylor Tomlinson is an appealing host, I think she's a middling comic at best, and her opening monologues are not very good.

Just playing catch up on this week's shows.

Monday's show with Nick, Brian, and Demi was decent.

Hashtag Wars was back -- #scariersongs -- and they showed last week's online winner for #reptilemovie (The Emperor's Newt Groove).

FTW was 'The Ultimate Challenge' -- which was a guessing game.  And the question was just ..... bizarre.  How many times has 'Wuthering Heights' been made into a movie or TV show/series ?

Demi won, and received a side of ranch dressing.

 

[ottoDbusdriver]

Tuesday's show with Joanne, Jay, and Affion was also pretty good.  
Zainab Johnson was supposed to be on, but was replaced by Affion.

FTW was 'The Ultimate Challenge'.  Again.
But at least the comedians had to actually so something other than guess a number.

Affion won, and received a rotting Jack O'Lantern as a prize.

 

[ottoDbusdriver]

Wednesday's show with Vinny, Emily, and Tien was good.  It was the first time on the show for Emily.
 
The comedians can only do so much with what they are given.  Because the pumpkin guessing game was pretty dumb.

FTW was 'guess where this guy is' based on a photo.  And go stand on this map of the world with your answer. Seriously ?  They've done this game before -- it was dumb then, and continues to be dumb.

Vinny won, and received a plastic Jack O'Lantern full of empty candy wrappers.

 

[possibilities]

Emily plays a rather dour character on her sitcom, so it was kind of fun to see her persona on this show, for the contrast.

[ottoDbusdriver]

Thursday's show with Caroline, Justin, and Marcela was the best episode of the week.  Bit of personal bias, I have liked Marcela since she was on the @Midnight shows.

The descriptions of the costume accessories for the Spirit Hallowe'en store were pretty funny, especially Marcela's description of the Tradwife Influencer costume.

It wasn't a game, but Justin's seance was pretty good -- Taylor seemed genuinely freaked out by the ringing bell.

FTW was 'The Ultimate Challenge'.  And it's another Price is Right style guessing game -- this time guessing the price of a creepy looking house.  Though it was funny when Marcela whispered in Justin's ear "The price is wrong, motherfucker".

Marcela won, and received a old book titled 'Open if You Dare'.  
Marcela opened the book and was transported into the big screen.

Hmm. The one with the writers kind of explains why the show is so bad. I turned it off after the first segment.

Indeed, I just watched the first ten minutes and hit pause to switch to a Family Guy repeat. Though there was something sweet about letting them on camera to play during these trying times, and I think Taylor seemed more relaxed. (Not that she's normally uptight, she just seemed really comfortable with the writers.)

[ottoDbusdriver]

Finally playing catchup from last week's shows.

Monday's show with Rekha, Rhys, and Paul F. Tompkins was amusing.

Hashtag wars was back -- #calmermovies -- and they showed last week's winner.

FTW was 'The Ultimate Challenge' -- which was yet another 50/50 choice, by having Paul F. Tompkins hide a Lego man in his closed hands.

Rekha won and received a survival backpack.

They seem to have settled in to hashtag wars on Monday, with the previous week’s winners before the break. New normal and all that, I suppose. 

[ottoDbusdriver]

The humour on Wednesday's show show with Zach, Laura, and Guy was pretty dark.

FTW was 'The Ultimate Challenge' -- who can guess a spot on the screen closest to a snow leopard camouflaged in this picture.

Zach won and received a Ziploc bag of used batteries

 

[ottoDbusdriver]

Thursday's show with the writers, Michelle, Sam, and Skyler, was even darker than Wednesday's show, since it was taped on Wednesday before Wednesday's show was taped.

FTW was 'The Ultimate Challenge' -- who can guess if Taylor has seen the movie 'Minions'.

Sam won and received a towel swan from a hotel.

Monday's show with Milana, Jason, and Jessica was entertaining, including the cameo by star of the show Tracker (and former ShoeGuy from the show Mistresses) Justin Hartley.  Justin hosted the show for one question, and then sat in on the couch section of the show, and showed a clip of the upcoming episode of Tracker.

The Give Something Bangs game was ..... odd.

This week's HashTag Wars was: #supernaturaltvshows  

I liked Curb Your Exorcism

FTW was 'The Ultimate Challenge' -- who can pull the tablecloth out from under stacked cups and leave the most cups upright.

At least it wasn't another 50/50 guessing game -- and Jason nailed it with a perfect score !!

Jason won and received a candle made by Taylor in an adult candle-making workshop.
