Billy On The Street - General Discussion

Quote

Andy Samberg hits the streets with Billy to play a game and introduce new superheroes. Later, Billy plays another game and starts a scavenger hunt with Kevin the busboy.

[King of Birds]

If Billy's gonna expand the show into scavenger hunts etc - imagine Billy and Elena in an Escape Room adventure!

Tom from MySpace has been ignored far too long.

I want to keep a gif forever of Andy Samberg's face right after that woman said she loved his nose because "It's just so Jewish".

Aziz Ansari joins Billy to play a Kanye West-inspired game. Later, Rachel Dratch takes on an obstacle course.

There really is no excuse for a lack of pop culture knowledge. As Billy disgustedly breaks it down: "A library has computers and a computer has You Tube and You Tube has Chewbacca mama and carpool karaoke." Honestly!

Poor Rachel Dratch. I hope she didn't hurt herself.

I always love those obstacle courses, and Rachel is the best.

I didn't know that James Franco had said all those things. I mean, it was easy to figure out which quotes were his, but they were all new to me.

Jacob Tremblay hits the streets with Billy for a lightning round.

[Primetimer]

It's a reprise of the most iconic BOTS segment ever! (If you ask Debra Messing to pick her favourite.)

I liked this. Jacob Tremblay is so cute and posed. He did really well on "Sounds About Right or That's Beneath Me." The questions were easy, but he still did well.

I also liked the Mormon gal. She was enjoyable.

She was adorable! I enjoyed how open and friendly she was, notwithstanding trying to recruit Billy. Heh. If she lived in New York, I'd be all for her replacing Elena as Billy's occasional sidekick.

[peeayebee]

Oh, and I also loved Billy's holiday windows.

[zxy556575]

Billy cracks me up but I'm also continually impressed at just how much pop culture knowledge he has. It's not like he prepared for a question about Nicole Kidman's move roles and Oscar nominations, but bam! He whips it out off the top of his head.

As for the question in the episode title -- apparently not. At least in comparison to Wendy Williams.

[peeayebee]

I love John Oliver. Funny, smart, game, knows when to kid and when not. 

I love Elena. She looked so funny in the R2D2 costume.

Those twins at the end were annoying me as much as they were Billy.

James Corden joins Billy for a Carpool Karaoke-inspired game called Curbside Conga Line. Later, a fan portrays Taraji P. Henson; and Robin Lord Taylor and Billy take on a new obstacle course.

I really liked Brittany. That segment with her was good.

I stopped watching Gotham after season 1, but Robin Taylor impressed me. I had no idea he and Billy were friends and started this whole comedy bit together. The obstacle course was fun.

Keegan Michael-Key joins Billy for a new game, Name 10 Gay People, and competes in an obstacle course; and an aspiring actor plays a TV-inspired game.

[Primetimer]

Normally, yes, you'd want to challenge someone with an obstacle course. But in this country, getting guns is...not hard.

Why is the "Name 10 Gay People" game so hard?  I'm sitting here 12 hours later STILL having trouble coming up with 10 live ones.

Honestly! Although Billy screaming that what's-her-name IS TRANS cracked me up.

I felt like I couldn't use the ones Keegan did and it took me 5+ minutes of quiet contemplation, but I finally cobbled together a list.

• Andy Cohen
• Anderson Cooper
• Don Lemon
• Ellen Degeneres
• Portia deRossi
• Tig Notaro
• Noah Galvin
• RuPaul
• Sandra Bernhard
• Wanda Sykes

[peeayebee]

Of course it makes it tougher to do it with a time limit in front of a camera, but I'm sure I'd have a tough time sitting here in my house.

[Dewey Decimate]

I kinda cheated once I came up with RuPaul, then proceeded to easily rattle off a bunch of drag queen contestants.

Thank gods for this show - there's something so NYC about Billy's obnoxious yet casually intimate nature I love. If I still lived in the city, I'd wander the streets in the hope of having him offer me a dollar and gleefully scream in my face.

[zxy556575]

Is it good that it's hard to remember who's gay or not? Or is it straight (speaking for me) privilege and dismissive? I don't know!

The worst part is that now I can't stop every time I remember someone: Sean Hayes! Jim Parsons! Jesse Tyler Ferguson! Lance Bass!

In the Season 5 finale, Stephen Colbert plays "La La Land or Nicki Minaj?" with Billy. Later, Elena returns to answer Twitter questions.

[Primetimer]

A great guest and a great topic to close out Season 5.

I've given this very thing a surprising amount of thought, and I still don't know, either.

'I like that! I like earnest!' Aw, Dad, we know.

Stephen seems so shy and timid next to Billy. His increasing embarrassment at hearing the Nikki Minaj lyrics was palpable.

I'm re-watching the series. Still funny as hell.
