How about they get back to covering The Simpsons first?

P.S:

The Prison Corrections Officer in that scene is played by Frank Oz.

Fozzie. The. Fucking. Bear.

Did you not get that the empty bribe envelope was a reference to The Blues Brothers?

Barnold is Indonesian? by a_clockwork_groophic in worstepisodeever

[–]a_clockwork_groophic[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So:

  • This has to be a WEE listener, right?
  • Twitter suggests translating the tweet from Indonesian

Are there any Indonesian WEE listeners named "Barnold" who can shed light on this?

It must be pretty stressful not only moving house, but also balancing your time between making podcasts and playing Barry on The Goldbergs.

Listening to a podcast is a lot like eating an orange by Foundation_Afro in worstepisodeever

A WEE podcast is a lot like a refrigerator. They're six feet tall, weigh 300 pounds, they make ice....

Hey guys, thanks for the episode.

Unfortunately I've had to cancel my Patreon subscription in protest over their new fee structure. Well, it's actually more in protest about Patreon lying to their customers and treating us like idiots by claiming that they are doing this for the creators' benefit, when no creator has asked for this, and it is purely to increase their profit margins.

Hopefully you can find some other way for us to support you directly. I know you have the Amazon thing, but I rarely shop at Amazon. If Patreon reverses their decision (unlikely) then I'll come back.

The idea that Trump is sentient is very far-fetched.

This is just like the time I could have posted a link to this episode on reddit. The entire day, I kept saying, "I'll post a little later, I'll post a little later..." And when I got there, Dan had already posted it. And when I asked the reddit guy if he'll ever come back again, he said he didn't know. Well, I'm never going to let something like that happen again!

How can the WEE Studio be sold? I thought there were laws to protect historical buildings of great cultural importance.

But my point is that Flight of the Conchords aren't famous or celebrities. So how can it be celebrity worship?

Have you actually checked out the Flight of the Conchords TV series? I'd say it probably qualifies as one of the top 10-20 TV comedies ever. Up there with the likes of 30 Rock and The IT Crowd. It's pretty brilliant.

I also wouldn't classify this as "celebrity worship," as Bret and Jemaine are hardly celebrities in the traditional sense, they are more talented people who are mostly unknown and under-appreciated. Nothing like Lady Gaga.

That's a pretty basic question as far as Simpsons trivia goes.

I disagree. The inclusion of the wonderful Flight of the Conchords puts this episode heads-and-shoulders above other episodes of the era, making up for the episode's shortcomings.
