Maximum Fun Forum

Aziz Ansari, Rob Heubel and Paul Scheer join us.

DISCUSS!

Hooray! So excited to watch the show and now listen to this.

Great interview, it made me even more excited for the show than I was already.

Jesse, it sounded like Scheer was in studio. Was there an interesting reason why, or was Scheer just nearby while Heubel and Ansari weren't?

Yeah, Scheer was in LA and Aziz and Rob were in New York.

who was the girl in the moving sketch in the first episode? she looked darn familiar, but i can't place it!

Here's another vote for Drumline.

Maybe Linda Cardillini? I can't tell when she's not Lindsay Weir.

Drumline is better than Roll Bounce, but both are tons of fun.

Overall, I liked the first episode. The sketches are pretty short but it worked. Shutterbugs always makes me giggle even though it's kind of a one note thing. The moving sketch was brilliant though. The woman in it is from "Freaks and Geeks", I think.

I really enjoyed this interview- I've seen various articles or interviews about the show recently, but they all just covered the most basic facts and left it at that. I do think Aziz set some sort of "like" and "y'know" record, though.

The Comedy Central Insider blog (why was I reading that in the first place?) pointed to TSOYA as a better source of Human Giant information. As well as information in general, judging from the posts below it.

Jesse, you're becoming my personal Tivo, alerting me to upcoming shows that I might enjoy. First Acceptable TV and now Human Giant. Thanks, and please keep it up!

That dating version of Crash Test that Scheer talked about? It was almost two years ago. I was one of the people on those dates.

I blogged about it here:

Some got mad, so I apologized here:

I recently looked up the girl to see what she's up to now. She's writing for Pitchfork.

So yesterday The Human Giant guys posted the "Lil' 9/11" clip on their myspace page. It featured little kids re-enacting the more tame elements of the war on terror (the kid who plays Osama Bin Laden was awesome). Today it is gone and I messaged the Human Giant guys and I guess myspace made them take it down.

Bullshit. BULLLLLLshit.

That's not entirely unexpected, given the way you described her.
Ooh, and you got burned too. Sorry about that.

I did feel bad that people were offended. So I quickly made amends. Nobody "burned" me. I'm sure Aziz has forgiven me by now, and don't really care that the girl didn't think I was attractive.
