That’s one that falls under the “not strictly comedic” but omg if I didn’t burst out laughing at Justin Long’s character several times. It was directed by one of the guys from Whitest Kids U Know and I think that shows through occasionally.
I’m also including some movies that are horror comedies that are actually good and fun on purpose in case those strike the same chord with you. Some aren’t strictly comedic, but I think they’re all fun.
Haha yeah I think they have some of the same writers but Cody gets a bit weird with it (have you met Warmbo yet?)
Glad you like it!
Some More News - a disheveled and sarcastic anchor does a deep dive into a current topic
Contrapoints - an ex-philosopher does a really deep dive into a topic (sometimes a concept or a phenomenon, sometimes a particular person or event), with incredibly high production value and costumes. Unfortunately this means she only puts out 2 videos a year, but they’re now usually 1-2 hours long.
Podcasts - some have YT channels, but often no video, so if you’re looking for something to watch, this may not be helpful
Behind the Bastards - a deep dive (often 2+ hour+ episodes) into different historical or current terrible people
5-4 - a podcast about why the Supreme Court sucks
Maintenance Phase - two journalists talk about various health, diet, and wellness scams and misconceptions
If Books Could Kill (no YT channel) - Michael Hobbes from Maintenance Phase and Peter from 5-4 talk about “airport books”–bad pop science books
You’re Wrong About - Sarah Marshall and Michael Hobbes (until late 2021) talk about pop culture misconceptions, everything from O.J. to the Satanic Panic to Iran-Contra and more.
Young Souls. I’m pretty forgiving when it comes to couch co-op games if we find one we can both enjoy.
And this one was good, but it was basically unplayable on the Switch (or, at least, constantly crashed mine). Finally got to the very end (where there’s no saving from the start of the end cutscene until the finale) and it crashed before the final battle. Restarted, got through several minutes of cutscenes, got a little farther but crashed again, this time in the final battle. Tried one more time and it crashed again in a different spot. Promptly deleted the game.
So I guess we’ll never finish that one.
