So, let me get this straight. You like their British boy and old diabetic man impressions, but you DON’T want them to be “sophomoric?” I think you’ll just have to take the good with the bad on this one.

Correct. The former are funny because they’re creative and absurd. The latter is just making dick and fart jokes.
I think you’ll just have to take the good with the bad on this one.
Probably. At least for a while.
You should write them a letter addressing your concerns.
They could probably make it hilarious when they read it aloud on the next podcast.
Viva Pinata sex isn’t absurd?
I think I understand what Jamie is getting at. For some of the show they sound like a typical morning zoo, which stands in contrast to the more hilarious and clever bits they do. Even when they devolve to morning zoo shenanigans, they’re still pretty funny, at least to me.
Alright, fair enough.
Sophomoric probably wasn’t a useful discriminator. Less-inspired probably works.
Think it’d be fair to say they throw a lot of crap around to find something that sticks. Just sticks pretty well when it finally does.
Sound like a buncha dudes to me. Just trying to make each other laugh, obviously not thinking too hard about trying to sound one way or another.
Just the way it should be!
This forum to Robert Ashley:
Huh? Robert Ashley thinks we all pee in the shower?
Did anyone else listen to Debriefings #124 yet? I got it via the Zune software, but I noticed it’s not seemingly up on their site or feed yet. Also, it was like the last third of the episode was from a previous week; old jokes about Watchmen dick and Gallegos needing to see Iron Man 2.
Yeah, that was weird. I think there is a fixed version up today.
Oh, good. For a while there yesterday, I had decided to quit listening to any and all podcasts for six months, because it seemed like things had gotten to the point where every joke and comment was familiar.
Thierry, please please please return to ATB, or even 1up podcasts all around. They keep trying to talk about PC games, and it is damn near killing me. I don’t care if people think you sound like hamburgers, fuck them. Those podcasts are in dire need of your expertise.
I don’t get the whole “Hamburgers” thing. Is that a character from a movie or something?
No, someone wrote in and said he sounded like “Hamburgers” once.
Heh. I guess they found it so amusing they made it one of the user ranks on 1up.com, too.
Sometime last year, some fellow wrote in, “Scooter sounds like hamburgers.” At the time, it baffled me, as it seemed to be missing some critical words. I just kinda roll with that assessment. Also, I think Tina helped make some of the user ranks, which explains the hamburger reference.
I think it’d be kinda funny for me to talk about PC games, since my gaming PC died (seems like the power supply gave out, though I haven’t confirmed 100%) back in mid-April. I’d be speaking in hypotheticals about stuff I would be playing on it.
You should have your corporate overlords comp you a new one. The PC talk is lacking.

Theres a new Penny Arcade/PVP Dungeons and Dragons podcast out for anyone interested. The last set was absolutely hilarious especially towards the end where it all went horribly wrong.
