Such a great episode lololol, Mark is an absolute treasure. This whole episode just had me in tears ;D ;D ;D

Holy shit maybe best ep ever! Mark is one of the best humans and he always makes me laugh my ass off. Larry is such a chill guy too + such a legend can't wait for y'all to have him back, plus that Baldwin creepfest was riveting lmfao was that a Vic creation?

There’s a line in the movie about smallpox blankets that didn’t make me HATE it, but made me feel weird about an otherwise rock-solid flick. it was like gerwig betraying the limits of the movie’s politics. but i’m the only person i’ve seen talk about it sticking out so idk

Amine

I wonder if Tim has talked to Brett Gelman, he's gone of the deep end...

Kim McElderry

Who is that in the CBD video? The dancing is fantastic

Steve Purificati

Larry is so great! Top shelf guest

Tim, tell me where you draw the line with Mark’s failure, it’s all a bad sign. Cause your friend don’t dance and if he don’t dance well, he’s no friend of mine 😒

Peach Weber

I'm not 100% sure who this Eric Clapton is

Brian Rooney

Howdy. I mentioned I got dumped recently. And dude, Marcus Aurelius’ Meditations. Grab a copy! It will really help in a real way.

Whilst I know you guys are trying to be non-biased about the Israel - Palestine conflict, genocide isn't complicated. Leading genocide historians, many of them Jewish, and the UN and many third party organisations have been commenting for years that Israel is committing genocide, and now at a devastating level. It's heartbreaking. I think comedy has taken a different turn after the Hamas terrorist attacks. I recommend anyone to watch Bassem Youssef for comedic insight. It becomes less complicated in my view through his comedy.

Tim, how the heck was Bill Maher and Tommy Lee’s conversation on Beatle penis size predictions not discussion on this ep?!

Dana

Phil- don’t listen to them, keep working on it!!

Nick Grant

Yeah man fully come into his own in the Doug free shows. So great drops too!

Jimjim

Vics interludes are on fire

Sam B

Larry was great! his opinion on the Michael Richards thing was amazing to hear. he's such an insightful and articulate guy

Sam B

you should watch his netflix doc. he's a worldly dude

Matt Whittle

Thank you soooo much Vic for the break vid, amazing

Tim Heidecker

thanks but oooof the frame rate and quality makes this pretty unwatchable

Stu Walker

Tim, here’s Something Wicked This Way Comes - https://youtu.be/MEaGTwJrBKk

Vic’s Stephen Baldwin clips were hilarious and terrifying

BO BRICKS

Thank you, Mark

i want nothing more than for tim to know WE DO GET IT and we all look forward to Mark's appearance's on the show. there are few things so funny as the tension between Mark and Tim when they get into a bit.

golding

Such a great show. Can't wait for the next Oscar Special. And, I want to see Rachel Kaly on the show!!

Jacob Kruse

Good god, Vic's halftime show was insane. Thank you Vic!

Travis McKinney

My goodness. That Vic cut at half time. I'm crying.

Glenn Greenwald from System Update and The Grayzone are my go-to for independent media. Well articulated and well researched content. Also Chris Hedges, so many good journalists out there. CNN is nothing but corporate state propaganda. MSNBC suspended all their Arabic anchors admist the Israel and Palestine conflict.

Tyler Burnett

shoutout to Vic Berger for that break video, Stephen Baldwin had me genuinely creeped out

skeletonmeat

i thought it was sweet how much fun mark seems to be having on shadows. i haven't watched it, but I watched the scene with Gregg and would recommend from only that

Fight Haver

What are these supposedly good reasons to just vehemently HATE Barbie?

skeletonmeat

to be fair, it seemed like mark said that in the spirit of digging into bill maher's position - not his own feelings. he did vote for trump 5 times though so who knows..

marshy

that stephen baldwin bit is sooo uncomfortable to watch (but hilarious) great episode. peace and love peace and love

Count Crackula

What makes these anti-woke comedians so successful is that people will often adapt their bad-faith framing in sincerity. You hear this in Mark's take on cancel culture; that it is "censorship" coming from the left wing. I reject this framing because it implies the victimization narrative by guys like Bill Maher or Joe Rogan are true. Larry essentially contradicts this by mentioning that Maher is absolutely allowed to just about say whatever he pleases without really any consequence to his career. And indeed this goes for guys like Rogan who have cranks and racists on their shows then goes on to complain that people complain about it. Is there a discussion to be had about the limits of free speech? Absolutely. But the reactionary crowd shouldn't be the ones driving that discussion. This default to free speech and censorship are really just rhetorical red herrings to distract from the fact that these, often very privileged comedians and pundits, just want to be free to say *whatever* they want without consequences. So they paint a very romanticized picture of speech before "woke" took over--as if America has ever been a bastion of free speech absolutism. Anyways, just my thoughts. With love and peace!!

Dana

Awesome episode- had it all! Mark really shined ‘doing the Neutron Dance!’ 💫

FerntFernt

I absolutely love Vic's break videos, they are genius. Hope you guys can make a compilation of all of them after he's cranked several out.

Phil Braun

Who released this?

Brandon Jeffries

Also, it’s nice to hear a successful older Jewish celebrity with an empathetic view on Palestine, I was kinda hoping they’d avoid the topic today because I assumed Larry would be blindly pro-Israel. Refreshing to hear his actual humanizing of Palestinians and comparing their situation to that of native Americans here.
