TV is a comedy goldmine.

Is anyone else filled with an intense dislike of Jole McHale on sight?


DriverStabby - 2015-10-04

Yes. Ever since he ruined Almost Live.

I'm indifferent, but Rob Riggle makes me laugh on sight no matter what. And to think he was a drill sargent. I wouldn't have lasted too in the army very long.

Funny story, and you guys might think I'm nuts, but the Soup writers stole one of my comments from poetv a few years back.

It wasn't a very good joke, but the interesting part is that they didn't steal the essence of my joke--they stole it without changing a single word. It's pretty surreal experience to wake up with a hangover on a Saturday morning and turn on the tv only to hear your own words come out of it verbatim.

Chris Hardwick was on the show plugging Web Soup, and he was the one who actually said the joke, so I got in touch with him on fbook and we had an extended conversation about it. He promised to bring it to the writers' attention, and that was that.

Anyway, watch your backs, guys.

Sounds like something Brian Harrod would do.


infinite zest - 2015-10-05

Dangit, you get Talk Soup, I just get the one-eyed comedian copying and pasting my incorrect spelling of "penis" :)

I've sort of had a theory about Last Week Tonight too, but I always figure that the jokes are obvious enough and the wordage changed that it's entirely possible that different people would come up with the same general observation, but sometimes the timing is uncanny.

With Harrod it was almost a little bit flattering but it's also kind of insulting, because you wouldn't rip off a comment from twitter or Reddit because that's a million+ readers at any given time, but hey here's this little website at the end of the universe..

YOU'RE NOT GOING TO TELL US THE FUCKING JOKE?


Aelric - 2015-10-05

He's worried it'll get stolen again!


zerobackup - 2015-10-05

tell us the joke

"There was this super funny thing that happened to me today, oh god so funny. I really thought it couldn't get any funnier, but then I noticed something even funnier about it. Man, just, wow. Anyway, I gotta go."

I wouldn't be surprised if the staff looked at this site to find videos and lifted a comment.


wtf japan - 2015-10-06

Yeah, that's my point. The only reason I caught it is because I happened to be watching the right show at the right time. I wouldn't be surprised if it happens fairly often--especially on these daily clip programs. Writers are under a lot of pressure to produce, and stealing from an obscure website whose user base may be too cool/out of touch to even watch your program might be a bit too tempting to pass up.

Also, the joke is in the link below this thread. I accidentally hit the wrong button when I tried to reply.

You can see my impotent bleating underneath it. It's not even worth stealing, but that's a hack for you.


wtf japan - 2015-10-05

Meant to be a reply to spikestoyiu.


Hooker - 2015-10-05

Hahaha. Of course it was a cruel fat joke.
