That's just fantastic stuff. Spending a meal with Reiner and Brooks, just listening to them banter about, would be a dream come true. Even telling bad jokes—maybe because they're bad—wouldn't diminish the experience one whit.

I love how much of an eager, hustling Brooklyn kid Brooks still is, as Reiner looks on, the tolerating older brother.

Excellent stuff.

Excellent stuff.

It works on the level of just being funny on the surface, but it's also kind of good as an example of an audience that resists a musician changing slightly. The horrified disbelief when he tries something new, the satisfaction when he goes back to what they know.

Simon Pegg dropping his pint glass seals the deal nicely.

Reiner and Brooks remind me of the really old school Hollywood Republicans I've known - people who no longer have anything to prove and can earnestly enjoy just bullshitting and nodding off during NCIS.

I loved Paul F. Tompkins on Mr. Show, but never thought much of his stand-up stuff until I heard Labouring Under Delusions, which is really fantastic stuff. Just great long-form conversational/anecdotal humour. His story of trying to berate Weird Al and calling him "Weird" throughout had me almost in convulsions.

Yeah, one of my favourite stand-ups working today. That Weird Al bit is exceptionally well delivered. He's actually playing a venue about an hour down the road from me, I'm disappointed I don't have the cash for it. But American comedians rarely know how to deal with even adoring British crowds and there usually ends up a slightly frustrated energy any time I've gone to see a US comic get uncomprehendingly irritated at the relatively lukewarm reception they get. North American crowds go out and start whoo-ing. As Ross Noble observed, you don't get away with a "Make some noise!" here, cos the response is a crossed-arms "Fuckin' do somethin'!"

Yeah, I love that man. He is even involved with one of my favorite cartoons, Regular Show

From the special Hooks mentioned I love the "King Hat" bit.

I can't disagree with the choices here for best KitH episodes. Pretty much every one had me nodding in agreement.

While I'm almost certainly blocking from my memory some of the weaker material, the show seems to have improved with age.

It definitely holds up.
