Despite our deepest hopes, "In Hot Water" is actually good.

The most recent episode of "In Hot Water", the TACN show that recently launched might be a miss for some of you guys (although I thought the Pulse club bit was pretty funny - "It's 1:59 and everything's GREAT!") but I thought Episodes 1 and 2 were pretty goddamn funny by any standard.

  • If sports talk isn't a deal breaker Gino can drop some fucking knowledge, and can make you niggers some money too - (true to form from R&F) if you took his advice and put money on his suggested pick (Cavs in game 3) you would have made escort-money for the month; (+10)

  • Hilariously racist as fuck (+1,000)

  • Aaron Berg is probably the second-quickest second mic I've ever heard, behind Jimmy (+50)

  • Gino plays a pretty damn good straight man (tss tss) to Berg (+73)

  • Gino's breasts are perkier than Opie's (+500)

  • Aaron never stole my money to make a shitty cartoon (+217)

  • It's not Finer Things with Mike Finoia (+5)

Don't bother calculating it, faggot - that's a lot of points.

To address the complaints that I'm sure some people will bring up:

  • Yes, Aaron's voice takes a little getting used to at first;

  • Yes, they read a chapter of Aaron's book every episode for about 5 minutes and it's not as funny as Gino and Aaron just talking, and not nearly as funny as Gino and Aaron talking about Afro-Americans;

  • Yes, when they have a guest it usually makes them less funny than when they are left to just play off of each other (although that Harris Guy Who Likes Secretion Porn was OK because he gave them good jumping off points for baseball and the fucked-up porn that he's into);

  • Yes, the Isis Faggot bit they started ep 3 with looked dopey, even though it wasnt actually as bad as it would appear at first glance;

But you know what, my fellow caucasians? Stanhope is great too but wears horrible technicolor used car suits. You can't have everything, faggot.

tl;dr I think it's worth a look, Rich Vos at Morty's Comedy Joint in Indianapolis all weekend starting Thursday.

What?

Morty's - it's on 3824 East 82nd street, just past the Rivers Edge Shopping Center.

What are you fucking babbling about? I think this time of night people are just bored and the stolen amphetamines haven't worn off yet.

I've got no idea what your talking about but Stanhope's style is awesome, if he dressed like a middle aged boring white guy in khakis & polo collared golf style shirt I'd probably hate him. (+0.0)

Stanhope's style is awesome

It's not. Stop. He's a brilliant comedian whose style you put up with because he's so brilliant. If a middle had that same wardrobe you'd rip him mercilessly.

You are aware that "Dad Style" and "Zany Goodwill" aren't the only two options, right?

I know there's other options I was merely using "Dad Style" as an expample because unfortunately too many middle aged men forget about or loose any sense of fashion. If Stanhope dressed like that because he was a hack who cultivated a uniform for cheap laughs I'd rip him but he has his own style like a somewhat young Hunter S Thompson.

I agree with you there; I dont think he's doing it for anyone else.

But the fact that he's authentic about it doesn't mean I have to pretend it looks like anything other than three-piece dog vomit.

Maybe you should make it clear what the fuck you're talking about

Sorry, I assumed too much familiarity with the shows that people in the o&a milieuuUUuu are involved with among a group of people whose knowledge of the cast of characters borders on the obsessively creepy. I have made the necessary clarifications.

Also, why would we all have hoped that it sucked?

Ah, my mistake. Welcome to the sub!

Oh so it's a show on the come pound me dear network. Got ya.

Are there any clips or free episodes or does Keith still not understand how to get people interested in his product?

I hoped it would be good, it is fucking awful.

Aaron Berg is fast, sure, but he is fast with nonsense. His little fake facts aren't funny, they are just stupid. Then he did them over and over and over again for the whole show. He's still better than Gino who is basically a white Sherrod in the way every time he opens his mouth it is a vacuum of funny.

There's absolutely no way this show is good. Geno's talking sports betting still? Ok, that's all I need to hear, it's ear cancer.
