00:00:00okay welcome to the bracket episode 186 today we are doing the best sitcom characters i think i'm
00:00:07gonna put a little bit of a qualifier on here you can go back in time do like cheers you can go back
00:00:12in time and do like you know all in the family whatever like i feel like it's better for us if
00:00:17we say this is like 2000 yes our favorites what you're saying is rear admiral's gonna be real
00:00:23mad we're really mad at us it's not an objective are seinfeld characters in here i'd say late 90s
00:00:29some adjacent so we'll say the seinfeld will be in jay because that like was the one that carried
00:00:32over until us really with reruns yeah anything the mash heads are just punching their wall
00:00:36so like no alan hold on so sorry to mr blutman too there will be some that are going to be missing
00:00:45i'm just going to give you guys a heads up uh lighter crew today obviously just the four of us
00:00:49uh nick and kb are doing the camp barstool thing uh so we should go to lighter crew just to promote
00:00:54promote mascots today uh because mascots if you are watching this right now the first episode is
00:00:59already out uh make sure to go check it out i mean i've read the scripts to it alone that's it and i
00:01:04was like dying laughing at the scripts i'm super excited to see what you guys got for it thank you
00:01:09very much i'm actually didn't know you haven't seen it yet we could send you a link or something
00:01:12there's one episode in particular which i don't know it's not i don't think it's boring to say
00:01:21there was sam wrote a lot of it where i couldn't believe i'm like how the fuck did sam sam had this
00:01:26in his bag the whole time episode four bro keep your eyes when i read that script i went i went who
00:01:32is sam martin yeah i knew sam i just didn't know his last name yeah and i was like who the fuck is
00:01:36sam martin because this is hysterical yeah and he's he's great and episode four is
00:01:41nick and kb well no spoilers but that's not really but super excited for it uh it's a really
00:01:47funny concept too you've probably assuming if you've seen this in the trailers uh there'll be
00:01:51a link to it in our description and i'll link to it at the end of the end card as well if you're
00:01:55watching this on youtube uh so make sure to check that out but before we get to the best sitcom
00:01:59characters uh let's talk about game time uh game time there's nothing like getting a baseball game
00:02:04especially the last minute lucky for me i always use game time the official ticketing partner of
00:02:08barstool sports game time makes it getting tickets easier and faster prices on the app
00:02:13actually go down the closer it gets to showtime i just look at tickets for the yankees uh versus
00:02:17the red sox on thursday you can get tickets right basically directly look at that right behind home
00:02:22plate damn 374 bucks right behind home plate at yankee stadium which if you want to shit on the
00:02:28yankees all you want that's a great-ass stadium yeah go watch a baseball game uh and you can put
00:02:32those savings that you get back in your pocket spend them on the ballpark on a hot dog new hat
00:02:35some good old-fashioned cracker jacks so what are you waiting for going to get those yankees
00:02:39versus uh red sox thursday tickets now on game time i guess we're kind of buying tickets with
00:02:43game time down the game time app create an account and use code bracket for 20 bucks off your first
00:02:47purchase terms apply again create an account and redeem code b-r-a-c-k-e-t for 20 bucks off down
00:02:52the game time app today what time is it game time looks like we'll be going from friends to rivals
00:02:55this week john why did you say like frantic yankees red sox you use them to see uh wimbledon or
00:03:06something right uh no i tried to i did not make it to wimbledon that was oh i forgot about that i
00:03:11forgot you had an issue with it it was uh how's this leg cross too little little pricey i have the
00:03:16tightest leg crossed east of the zip i know that's why i'm asking you know uh so first up again we're
00:03:22doing uh best sitcom characters there's and henry houlahan dustin houlahan and marlon nerfee
00:03:28we're not up for the cut yet we do this a year from now different story very very different story
00:03:33uh so for a lot of these i didn't want to have it where like we have multiple options from the
00:03:38same show there'll be like a couple uh one big play in and then we'll have i pick what i would
00:03:43assume is the consensus number one from a lot of these shows and we can talk about it more in
00:03:46something like the chain games uh so first up it is the five seed versus the two seed or 12 seed
00:03:52the 12 seed is it's i do not like this show but he's probably one of the most suggested options
00:03:58that we had when i put up the call out it's nick miller i'm not a new girl guy i'm not a big new
00:04:02girl guy i never never got into it i think it's just i don't like zoe de chanel at all i was gonna
00:04:06say if you don't like zoe de chanel and even if you like zoe de chanel season one's a tough watch
00:04:11yeah they they tinker with her character quite a bit by season two it's funny because of the male
00:04:17character like it's one of the first sitcoms it's like new girl and like it's a female lead and i
00:04:24actually think she gets overhated in it but it is kind of funny like it is funny mainly because of
00:04:29the male yeah it's it's it's nick and schmidt for sure yeah and winston i think is one of the actually
00:04:34most underrated sitcom characters of all time i completely agree like the last two or three
00:04:39seasons he gets a little too goofy they get a little goofy yeah is there an emphasis on the
00:04:44romance and new girl where we're yeah that's right i would percentage as a normal sitcom it's
00:04:49basically rachel and ross i would say more or less is nick and zoe and then but then you also have
00:04:55cc and schmidt like there's there's a yeah i would say it's a full-on like there's there's plenty of
00:05:00romance and it matters i've only i've never purposely watched it i've watched it in the periphery because
00:05:05girlfriend and last now fiancee watched it a lot but uh i mean there's a lot of very funny scenes
00:05:09schmidt's i think schmidt's very funny schmidt and nick miller are two i think top tiers between
00:05:14them two if i had to pick one though out of new girl it would be nick miller right that's who i
00:05:18would pick i think plenty of people would pick schmidt but i would pick nick i would i would pick
00:05:21nick over i would i might put winston one but i would pick nick over schmidt gotcha and i think
00:05:28progressive as hell by the way very cool tom yeah yeah yeah i stand uh and that's going up
00:05:38against a what i would say is a buzzsaw but i don't know how you guys will feel about it number
00:05:42five seat selena meyer from uh veep man veep and see like tommy i don't know if you've watched me
00:05:48i've watched like two or three episodes i've thought it's very funny i just haven't like
00:05:52hunkered down to watch i haven't been like i'm going to it's it's on my list but i haven't
00:05:57hunkered down yet but same but i've seen enough episodes to know i just feel like she controls
00:06:03any scene she's in and she's in a scene with like 10 other comedy juggernauts yeah and it's
00:06:08pretty impressive that's very true selena meyers is like one of the funniest characters ever just
00:06:12like an unbridled piece of shit like absolute asshole and uh every scene like i think it's a
00:06:17great way to describe her like she's in scenes with all these guys who are like really really good
00:06:22trying really hard and they have more leeway to be like goofier characters and she's still
00:06:26crushing yeah it's it's probably the show outside of sunny that i've watched the most like it's veep
00:06:32i'm constantly watching veep at whatever like if i if i don't know what's put on i put on tv i just
00:06:38put on who's uh it's veep that uh he says he's shitting clits yes yes yeah yeah timothy simons
00:06:44sitting shitting clits yeah from what i've seen of veep i mean she's obviously very funny but so are
00:06:50buster bluth and the redhead guy yep yep uh matt walsh and uh shoot tim tony hale yeah yeah um
00:06:59am i voting first uh yeah you go ahead first i mean i've seen more new girl so i have to go nick
00:07:04miller but i am gonna hunker down and watch veep it does seem very fun like i did it's top on my
00:07:09list as well i jokingly said one time like i can never watch veep because it's a female lead and
00:07:14people here got very upset i was i was kidding for the record i mean you're just talking about
00:07:19watching new girl yeah yeah yeah i do i'm sure it's very funny but nick miller is he's just an
00:07:25all-time he's an all-time great character it's also i remember that tweet from you uh it's funny
00:07:31because you you said something along the lines of like you need to be able to relate to a character
00:07:34which is partly true for sure i mean it absolutely enhances the experience but you you are gary i i've
00:07:43been told that that's buster blue yeah yeah yeah and it's not selena meyer selena meyer is dave in
00:07:49this situation but like all right water bottle i'll watch it like that right so you sent me that
00:07:55water bottle clip the other day oh god yes like he spends like two minutes of a scene trying to open
00:08:02a water bottle for selena meyers like he has like a go-bag background it's awesome it's it's dude that
00:08:07scene is so goddamn funny i think it's from like season seven it's it's a full two-minute scene and
00:08:13you can never really see uh gary and he but you can just see him fiddling with a water bottle
00:08:18it's i'll show it to you after because i'm not obviously not doing justice to do it's really
00:08:23it's insane how that that show went like what seven or eight seasons and like seven i believe
00:08:26yeah and every season's great yeah they're all good not really any fall off at any particular
00:08:31season either um but it's so good so you're gonna go with nick miller fights
00:08:34this is a stroke i just had i just yeah i'm gonna i'm gonna do it probably 10 more times on
00:08:43this because these are gonna be these are the hardest questions ever been asked can i ask you
00:08:47is it favorite is it funniest what are what's our great question yeah that's a good point um i went
00:08:55with just best like who do you think the better character is because i think that does it's all
00:08:59encompassing yeah i'll go selena just because tommy went nick and i'll keep it even um but they're
00:09:09both they're both on my mount like top tier they're as good as you can get i think i would go with selena
00:09:14as well um just because like like it's a funnier i think she's funnier like a better overall character
00:09:21like i feel like nick is it's almost like not like cheating but like he gets to play off a lot of
00:09:25other people yeah a lot and selena has to lead scenes and other people have to play off her
00:09:31and uh she's just so good fucking louis drive is amazing um so i'm gonna go selena meyer i would
00:09:37have went selena meyer as well uh nick miller's great in as much as i've seen of him um i think
00:09:45it's heavy on being charming and like fuckable it's also i'm being relatable and like yes selena
00:09:51doesn't even have that crutch to lean on like she's got to be the president literally no one
00:09:56can relate to that yeah but like everything nick does you're like i know i get that bro yeah
00:10:01does selena ever get like humanized or is it more just for laughs i wouldn't say she really gets
00:10:07humanized now she's she's a piece of shit the whole time and that's another show by the way
00:10:12that there's so many characters in veep that could have easily made this list yeah
00:10:17fucking timothy simons alone could have been richard t split i think i just i think on one
00:10:22of the kfc radio like watch lists we do i just said jonah ryan's one of the greatest like he's
00:10:26joe i i i think i like you have winston higher i think i would have jonah one i think i'd have ben
00:10:32too yeah oh god ben is fine shit uh so selena meyer's gonna move on now we have the 13 seed versus
00:10:40the 4 seed the 4 seed this will be our big plane so for i didn't want i wanted to do a plane because
00:10:46it's always sunny deserves two options on the bracket i think because we at least i know for
00:10:50at least you and me and i would assume you as well i don't know tommy i'm a huge always sunny fan yeah
00:10:54okay i mean i haven't watched the last like who's that we know that hasn't watched it well am i
00:10:58i feel like there's eddie eddie hasn't seen any show it could be sure eddie hasn't watched anything
00:11:01uh other than horrid marty maybe hasn't seen it maybe it was marty yeah but uh i feel like it's always
00:11:06funny deserves two characters on the bracket so i want to do a plane for the big five and the winner
00:11:11the number one winner will get the three seed the number two winner will get the four seed i think
00:11:17that's fair yep i think it's very fair sure so first up we've got just dennis d mac charlie and frank
00:11:24so who's the best and who's the second best is what we're looking for here uh we can start with
00:11:29you own like who do you think is the best that deserves a three seed in this i don't think it's
00:11:33what was sunny main five it's really i really don't want to go first two votes like now and we
00:11:40see who who are most yeah i think that works yeah you're you're number you're number one and number
00:11:45two character tally them up all right it's really hard i know my number one i'm torn on my number two
00:11:51i know my one my one's dennis oh my one's frank i'm going frank too yeah i think i mean obviously season
00:11:59one it's season like it's hard to compare that to the rest of the show but it was just such like a
00:12:04bolt of energy adding him to the show it's such a different beast with him um and he's so fucking
00:12:10funny um i think i don't know on rewatches i respect d a lot dude she's so funny the physical
00:12:20stuff is really funny i i loved a tweet this year because it's always funny this year if you're not
00:12:26keeping up is one of the best seasons i gotta catch up on like the last five or six yeah it's
00:12:31as good as they did the underage drinking like recap like uh no there's been one more since then
00:12:37and that one was great too okay it was uh frank's the golden bachelor yeah and they don't know how
00:12:45they're gonna do hometowns so they start rehearsing how they're gonna do the hometown dinner but they do
00:12:51it in front of a theater or in front of a focus group so a focus group is watching them try and
00:12:56have dinner it's unbelievable i think the last one i saw was when dennis was getting like killed off
00:13:02quote unquote yeah yeah oh so you're way back yeah you're a couple i think i was in college still
00:13:06like how many have they made since then i'm up for this new season but i've only seen the first one
00:13:10on abbott the which i liked and i and i don't even know abbott i actually thought i rolled my eyes
00:13:16when they were great when they did like the full waves of 9-11 at the lunch table it all comes back
00:13:24to 9-11 eventually arabs are buying buying golf golf's not for sale it's it's great so who would
00:13:33you say your top two um i wanted to say shout out to d just uh to get the points of bringing up a
00:13:40woman and then i'll probably go charlie charlie as your one no uh frank one
00:13:46charlie too frank as a one charlie as a two i actually i kind of think i might say mac one i
00:13:53think mac is really really funny like not as rich of a character i think uh as some of the other ones
00:13:59but like everything he says makes me laugh like everything he says makes me laugh and it's just
00:14:03his delivery it's kind of gotten like a little bit i think people talk about a lot the ryan reynolds
00:14:08relationship has tainted him a bit but like his especially in those first like five or six seasons he
00:14:13really is such a star i mean he gets fat like it's so funny yeah i'm housing the chalupas and just
00:14:18like wheezing like it's it's so like always thinking that he's the best when he's like the
00:14:24work like i'm accumulating mass like it's some of that character just kills me every time so i'm
00:14:29gonna say mac one and i think i'd say dennis two wow um because i dennis is amazing he he is
00:14:36they're they're i do feel wrong leaving off dennis leaving off dennis i i think i'm gonna too
00:14:43really i think i have the same list as you i think it's frank charlie but everyone on this show
00:14:48is so fucking good yeah so fucking funny it's putting hairs it's it's it's it's crazy to have
00:14:55to pick but i think i'm gonna go frank one charlie too and i forgot what i was gonna say about d
00:15:00the earlier the i saw a tweet this season that just said um what caitlin olsen is doing with
00:15:07physical comedy is stuff we haven't seen since bugs bunny yeah when she runs head first into the car
00:15:14and dance it and that's real like that's a real thing that just it was an accident they didn't
00:15:18mean to do that it's so funny i didn't know that i didn't know that when she does the the obama
00:15:23impression every time it's like tears tears laughing what's up with congress y'all
00:15:27so i don't know what we're gonna do because my one two is gonna be dennis and mac so we're all
00:15:33we're all i mean again they're all five are incredible just dennis has so many scenes of like
00:15:38you know the dennis system yeah and the implication on the boat like those are some of the ones that
00:15:44stick with me the most those are true dennis probably does have most of sunny's iconic scenes
00:15:49yeah so that's a great point that's a that's a that carries and again mac i think just the subtle
00:15:54like listen i love charlie and frank and charlie like charlie word
00:15:57subtle comedy night man i think charlie i think dennis has the more iconic scenes i think charlie's
00:16:01got the more iconic episodes like charlie work i think is a masterpiece yeah it might be one i
00:16:07yeah the night man i mean the play was one of their top early moments uh the scene where mac and
00:16:12or mac and charlie get interviewed for like the job interview as that was one is so good
00:16:18they just brought a picture of bruce jenner yeah that's that's their that's what we're going for
00:16:23today that's punk rock man uh another great episodes being frank oh crap his pov that rules
00:16:31dude i love like the feeling like he's in a video game looking for the pills in their bathroom
00:16:38and then he like sees clear he sits up he's got a coke in his nose
00:16:42okay i'm due for a rewatch i'm due for like well i gotta catch up on like six seasons yeah but
00:16:48dude even like the lethal weapon episodes which i didn't think i read the one but it's they're so
00:16:53funny they're so good dude and also to you to your point not to your point to make you feel better
00:16:57like later seasons i feel like are very underrated yeah like it's almost like what happened when um
00:17:03and i don't know why because no one left but like when you're only allowed to be cool for so long
00:17:06right did dennis ever leave the show he had a season where he was around in every episode
00:17:12gotcha um the what do you call it the mannequin yeah yeah with uh
00:17:17yeah yeah yeah yeah progressive time so the way so the way this is going to work now frank is going
00:17:27to get the three seed but we're tied because there is mac has a one and a two vote and a dennis has a
00:17:33one and two vote so we're going to vote between now dennis and mac to see who gets this next spot
00:17:38well i had dennis one so i'm keeping dennis one one for dennis i'll go down one for i'd go i'd go
00:17:44dennis too i know i put mac as my one but like the more we talk about dennis he really is involved in
00:17:50every great charty mcdennis yeah fuck man yeah it'll it's gonna be dennis but you think he's the lead
00:17:57if there was one i was gonna say yes yeah i'd say yes like he's the first character i i when i was
00:18:03writing this down he's the first character i wrote like the leader so i guess it just feels like that
00:18:08yeah um yeah dennis so that means dennis is gonna move on and be our fourth seed so he's the fourth
00:18:14seed he's going up against number 13 seed which is and i want he's gonna get smoked here i'm sure
00:18:18but he's a character i love and got a decent amount of votes too uh hal from lachlan in the middle
00:18:23uh he's played by uh uh what's his name shoot brian cranson so good like one of the best tv dads
00:18:30you're ever gonna see there's gonna be some other ones on here i'm sure we'll talk about soon
00:18:33but he's so funny he's like the perfect perfect sitcom dad it just makes for such a fascinating
00:18:38like flip side of a vinyl to watching that and breaking bad yeah maybe just going back and forth
00:18:44i see the edits to putting each other's music to it exactly uh so oh and let's go with you first
00:18:49i mean i think it's a bloodbath between dennis and how but yeah no it's dennis yeah i'd go for
00:18:54dennis as well between them but i just want to give him some love he's so funny valid love i actually
00:18:59i've seen it when i was a kid but i've never really watched it better now is it better now yeah maybe
00:19:04maybe i'm because they're doing like some kind of reunion right yeah um so maybe i'll throw the watch
00:19:09before that um but i'm gonna go with with dennis yeah dennis yeah i haven't seen malka in the middle
00:19:13but it's gonna be hard to beat dennis yeah yeah now we have the nine seed versus the eight seed
00:19:19uh the nine seed from might have put dewey in there from malcolm in the middle by the way
00:19:23dewey is funny as fuck uh nine seed from the parks and rec department uh ron swanson i think is the
00:19:29best out of the out of the parks crew like i'm i'm a tom haverford or john ralphio guy yeah john
00:19:36ralphio is tough because he's not like i know he's not a main character but god is he fucking funny
00:19:40tom haverford would be my next though like it's that's i feel like if you're asking like a regular
00:19:44person off the street who's the best character they're probably saying ron swanson yeah i i think i
00:19:48ron swanson is great nick oferman's great i think i almost just taint him because of the way people
00:19:53like people made liking ron swanson their personality to me i like bacon too it's the bacon like he's
00:20:00he's 2013 like personified yeah yeah there there will yeah there was the time yeah it was no that
00:20:07was the internet the internet was just like you gotta turn about bacon that was the whole thing yeah
00:20:12they uh it's very tight into do you see how people were shitting on that like stomp clap music
00:20:16phase like he's that stomp yeah yeah you know like whatever that band was uh but yes tom clap
00:20:22comedy yes tom clap very much bacon and he's also really funny yeah no yeah but i my vote would be
00:20:32tom haverford from parks and right i think that's fuck i think aziz Ansari is fucking great dude he's
00:20:36so good um he's got a movie coming soon with um keanu reeves that he directed yeah yeah where he's
00:20:43playing like uh i think he's playing like a guy that he's a guardian angel yeah he's a guardian
00:20:48keanu's his guardian angel and he's the uber each driver for seth rogan yeah and maybe brewster's
00:20:53millions of them i think like he swaps them it is that's random yeah uh but ron swanson the scene
00:20:59before one of the funnier parks things i think is when ron swanson like keeps getting back together
00:21:03his ex-wife megan malady he's his real guard from real life and like they go i mean all his tammies
00:21:08yeah all tammies and like his mustache is gone and they're like why'd you shave your mustache it
00:21:12came off by friction
00:21:13so good dude uh so ron swanson's going up against the eighth seat from the friends department uh i think
00:21:20chandler's the it's i think chandler yeah joey's the only other one i think would make it when you're
00:21:24a kid you like joey when you're an adult you like chandler i like i like that that's what i just said
00:21:29i just like speaking for myself like my mom would always have it on as a kid like joey's the
00:21:36fucking man like joey got has to get with rachel like they're the two hottest and then and then
00:21:41when you're older and you know you get a more sophisticated pal you're like oh chandler is
00:21:44just great matthew perry does such a good job with yeah so ron swanson versus chandler bing
00:21:50starting with you tommy i think i gotta go chandler i think again i i'm it's unfortunate that i'm
00:21:56letting people um ding ron swanson for me but i do think chandler is great great delivery dry and
00:22:03it's hard to stay i mean it's hard there is truly no main character in friends i guess
00:22:07rachel and ross but i'm going chandler i don't think i've ever told you this that there's a
00:22:13one of my friends he got he or i have a friend group where there's a rachel and ross dating each
00:22:19other and i find that so fucking insane it's insane to me like the chance that they found each
00:22:23other uh fights uh i've never i've seen friends i've seen you know enough of it as any person
00:22:30who grew up with tbs but um because i haven't seen it like everyone else has um i go ron ron i think
00:22:37between the two like chandler is definitely the better character and is aged probably better than
00:22:42that ron swanson style of like i want 500 eggs you didn't hear me i find like that definitely aged a
00:22:48little better but like i personally liked ron swanson more so i think i'll go with ron swanson
00:22:54i'll pass off from it on you pass off from it on so ron swanson gonna move on now we have our one
00:23:01seed versus our uh we have a interesting playing game uh so the playing game is basically everything
00:23:07that i wrote down that i couldn't get into there because i didn't want every option like
00:23:11you're basically just all options from four shows so one being leon black from kirby enthusiasm
00:23:17all-time great to me steve janowski from eastbound and down that's so fucking funny
00:23:23so good god uh schmidt uh which we had just talked about uh tracy morgan obviously from 30 rock
00:23:31dr cox from scrub is very funny very good character kramer elaine costanza oh costanza's not on
00:23:40costanza wait did i put am i crazy did i not include did i put jerry on here but not costanza
00:23:46i should have i'm gonna double check on that uh red foreman i'd be hip to swap that yeah second
00:23:51yeah uh red foreman another one uh joey trippiani dwight schrute because i thought between dwight
00:23:59and michael michael's on you not to tip too much between michael michael's the one yeah between
00:24:04michael and dwight it's gonna be michael yes schrute has kind of been offerman also aged
00:24:09offerman in the fud or whatever moira from schitt's creek which is more of a niche one
00:24:14but she got a shit ton of votes a lot of people like moira i i think schitt's creek is that one
00:24:19of our more i could not agree more if if anything else was out i don't think we would love it i like
00:24:26it it's a good show i enjoy it i think katherine harris unbelievable dan levy's great but i have gone
00:24:32to back to watch it since 2020 ended and i'm always like that's not really how i remember i've watched a
00:24:37couple and i i couldn't get couldn't get into yeah uh andy dwyer also on there april ludgate uh
00:24:44rafi from the league love the league that's tough because he's not a main character he's john ralphia
00:24:50yeah yeah he kind of becomes a main character though in like the later seasons he also like that uh
00:24:55jace manzoukis has like roles in so many good sitcoms yeah he's in parks and rec is like the perfume
00:25:00guy he's hysterical parks and rec brooklyn 99 he's hilarious like damn yeah has he never gotten
00:25:05like not a mean i don't mean i don't know what he's done at all since those sitcoms ended seem
00:25:11like a few random things now and then he just kind of plays that same hyperactive guy more or less on
00:25:17an eight ball yeah basically um so yeah to am i really am i this fucking stupid that i didn't
00:25:23included any seinfeld option i don't know if that means that we shouldn't include any seinfeld option
00:25:28then is that what that we should do then i mean if costanza's not on there he's getting my vote easy
00:25:33yeah so let's let's say costanza's not on there i'm definitely gonna have to add him back in when
00:25:38i do the actual bracket because that's crazy that i must have been waiting to add in a jerry and then
00:25:42i just forgot to add it in uh made this very very very quickly not too long ago so uh i would i would
00:25:49bump the 15 seed and get costanza in there yeah let's do let's do that good good thinking no one
00:25:54let's uh costanza okay so let's get costanza off that list so now it's going to be again leon
00:26:01steve janowski schmidt tracy morgan kramer elaine red foreman uh which by the way we didn't even
00:26:08talk about red foreman's very funny in the sony show joey dwight strutt uh andy dwyer rafi oh also
00:26:14adam from workaholics which you added oh yeah adam is very funny in workaholics so if any of those
00:26:20names stuck out just keep them in your mind so let's start with you which one you do want to
00:26:23i was getting ready to say one thing and then you threw in adam i'm gonna go to mamp
00:26:30workaholics one vote i can't believe you've never seen that right what workaholics no you would love
00:26:36it i that's i think that's why i've never seen it too many people tell you yeah because now it's
00:26:42so high up that i'm gonna be let down yeah but i am gonna watch it sometimes you got like i have
00:26:49that still with the sopranos like some shows you gotta save yeah you gotta save for a rainy day
00:26:54when you know you're gonna like it and you're really gonna be in the mood for a binge i've done
00:26:58that with matt i'm watching matt right now oh it's so good it's unbelievable it's so good um between
00:27:03this list i'm gonna go with leon black i think leon black is so goddamn good like effortlessly funny
00:27:09uh and also like done so strategically by larry david like he hits he just like has the perfect
00:27:14amount of punches in every episode yeah yeah so i'll go also him getting added to the show felt
00:27:19like a frank reynolds like it's just a different level yeah the blacks in general that whole season
00:27:24was very funny uh so one for leon black for me um i gotta go tracy morgan i dude he is in fact i was
00:27:34gonna say someone else i forget who i was gonna say but then i started rifling through tracy morgan
00:27:39or tracy jordan storylines yeah sorry tracy jordan and they're so insane and they're so like
00:27:47he wins an oscar playing a homeless guy from the bronx who has to use a football as a toilet
00:27:51he plays he finds out he's a descendant of thomas jefferson so he plays thomas jefferson in a
00:27:58movie in whiteface yeah like it is and then one of my favorite lines in like all of sitcoms is when
00:28:04he sits down at a diner it's like can i have an apple juice like we don't have apple juice he goes
00:28:08die for for rum and coke's then yeah that's like his opening line of the series yeah yeah episode
00:28:14one it's so good uh so one for tracy jordan i mean i know he's been swanson but i gotta give
00:28:19dwight true to vote i mean yeah dwight i i he's just a great character you know it's a good a good
00:28:26character when it literally almost ruined the actor's career like rain wilson no you're right
00:28:30you're very anyone else yeah uh so for tied up between all these one option shout out stevie from
00:28:36eastbound though yes jenna's awesome such a funny character um i'll swap to tracy jordan
00:28:42based on okay okay i honestly leon black was my other guy yeah you see we're we're
00:28:48so tracy jordan's going up against uh number one seed it's kind of weird because it's just him
00:28:55but a fictionalized version of him but larry david i think is deserving oh of the one seed
00:28:59and the guy you're thinking of is gonna be on the other side yeah uh but i mean larry david is
00:29:03one of the all-time funniest sitcom characters period i think and you want to talk about a sitcom
00:29:08where no season is down like always funny and there's like a fucking what 13 seasons of the
00:29:14show like it's crazy i think that's what that's something we do we've talked about it with excuse
00:29:19me with sunny we talked about it with the office like we just decide at some point that shows aren't
00:29:24as good anymore and then we kind of start watching them half-heartedly and then when you go back and
00:29:29watch like a season that of curb that you'd kind of decided was that it's kind of jumped the shark
00:29:33by now it's hysterical like dude the fatwa season i watched that recently unbelievable unbelievable
00:29:39producer season's so good the fucking uh oh the producer season's great i forget what that's like
00:29:43season two yeah that's like with stiller yeah two or three or something yeah but the um fucking ross
00:29:49is david yeah yeah doesn't put enough raisins in a fucking raisins and cashews yeah there's a
00:29:55one of the i think the first when they came back from the break uh they had what's his name jeff
00:30:00garland looked like harvey wines yeah yeah i also i know there's rumors of making another season i
00:30:06almost hope they don't i thought that ending was so perfect yeah oh i didn't know there were rumors
00:30:10i think there were rumors that he might want to do it again but now he's doing that sketch comedy
00:30:15or something but i think that was such a beautiful button on that show no pun intended i also doing
00:30:21that with mel brooks or something um i don't know no there is someone else i forget who it is
00:30:26i um i learned recently and maybe i'm the dumb one here but i thought there were like 30 years
00:30:32between seinfeld and and curb i didn't know it was like it was like a year it was like two years max
00:30:37yeah i and probably just because like costanza looks young and then immediately becoming larry david
00:30:43you're like oh well a ton of time must have passed yeah and it was like i think it was seinfeld
00:30:47ended 98 and then curb started 99 yep that's crazy he's a american history sketch comedy show
00:30:54with obama's company producing it oh yeah and cheryl hines isn't in it yeah which is who that
00:30:59there's another comedian in it right i didn't see it i thought it was like maybe seth rogan or
00:31:05somebody i don't know i could be wrong but i i saw the reason i said the cheryl hines thing is because
00:31:08i saw an instagram thing in a suggested post was like cheryl hines getting iced out of larry david's
00:31:14new show because of her marriage to rfk and i was like is that the reason or is it just like
00:31:21casting they don't need her yeah she as far as i know she's only ever played larry's wife
00:31:27yeah uh so larry david versus tracy jordan tommy that's gotta be larry david curb made my favorite
00:31:34sitcom of all time i mean the writing is incredible it's almost like i think the writing is even better
00:31:40than the character but it's all goes it's all one person i do like that larry david was like
00:31:45i basically wrote myself as george costanza for nine years now i'm just gonna i could play him
00:31:49yeah so i'm going larry david larry yeah larry it's uh larry larry larry sorry to tracy uh so now
00:31:57before we get to the other side of the bracket let's talk about our next monster of the day blue

00:33:27about uh janowski kenny powers 60 kenny powers would be a tough one uh but he's going up against
00:33:32number 11 seed i was just talking about him with robby fox earlier phil dunphy like dude modern
00:33:37family gets not doesn't get the flowers yeah you love modern family i forgot about love love phil
00:33:42dunphy specifically too so we can tell we can tell the one that comes to mind is the uh
00:33:51just when he's talking about it like his ex-girlfriend or whatever i can't even remember the exact scene but
00:33:55he says something like i can't believe i just noticed how much you ooze dunk
00:33:59i was watching the one where he gets set up with matthew broderick on a gay date accidentally
00:34:06uh but yeah so phil dumphy who's very funny so so good uh against kenny powers who is that one i
00:34:14think is really caught on more than almost any hbo show with like the frat sphere i guess yeah i mean
00:34:20yeah like they really watch that so dumphy versus kenny powers owen uh it's kenny powers for me
00:34:25i i love eastbound and down i think it's an all-time character i just think i don't know
00:34:33do you watch the outtake reel yeah one of the all-timers where it's with like kim and will
00:34:38ferrell yeah feeling my plums thing yeah um yeah just every season rules following them at the high
00:34:46school mexico oh the mexico i forgot almost forgot about that um yeah i'm going kenny powers one for
00:34:52kenny between these two i've definitely gotten the ceiling of hen kind uh kenny powers is way higher
00:34:58than modern family but the floor i think was pretty high on i'll go with kenny powers kenny yeah okay i
00:35:06haven't seen he's bound and down oh really yeah it also it's just like the prototype his character
00:35:12kind of runs through all his series it's kind of yeah the same thing that's saying right yeah that's
00:35:17that's i i was gonna go dumpy the whole time anyway um i love eastbound and down i watched it
00:35:22very recently actually um funnier than i remembered because i i was always a so-so on eastbound and down
00:35:28i was always like i liked i watched it in college i liked it but i wasn't like eastbound and down has
00:35:33been out that long i think so yeah right around there at least like the first jody hill thing right
00:35:38like as far as i remember i think that's one where i've i just missed it it just never came across my
00:35:44desk like i didn't i don't know what it's about i don't know what it's on i don't know who's in
00:35:49like it just is not in my brain he's a baseball pitcher who like flames out tasted the mlb now he's
00:35:56he's like he's basically like the best closer in baseball and he wins a world series and then he like
00:36:01flames out and he's just like super egotistical and um everyone hates him and he has to move back
00:36:06in move back with like his brother and his family uh but yeah it's funny it's really funny but uh but i
00:36:13because i've seen more modern family i love i love modern modern family i think it's really funny
00:36:17um i'm gonna go i'll go dumpy i'll just make this a two-two see what happens okay dumpy it is two for
00:36:23powers one for dumpy tommy dumpy yeah yeah i mean i just haven't seen it so what do we do here
00:36:30you pick for dumpy heads or tails tails flip a coin
00:36:35it's heads ah damn shame kenny powers gets through uh so kenny moves on now we have the
00:36:43three seed versus the 14 seed as we mentioned before three seed is going to be frank reynolds
00:36:47uh and he's going up against the number 14 seed this is one where he's a very funny character if
00:36:53you've seen it you'd love this character if you haven't seen the show you have no idea i'm talking
00:36:57about uh there'd be captain i believe raymond holt from 99 i almost mentioned him earlier
00:37:04i said if anyone from brooklyn 99 is gonna get there talk about progressive a gay black a gay
00:37:10black man captain holt is so fucking so funny effortly andre brower right yeah the dry delivery
00:37:16is i don't know if he smiles once the whole show no i've seen andy samberg talk about being on set
00:37:23with him because i i don't know him very well andre brower brower um i guess he's he's julie
00:37:31trained or shakespearean trained or he's a very good actor and he would say that like on set he
00:37:36would just flip between those where everyone else was andy samberg and he's like yeah all of us had
00:37:41one level and andre had 10 of them and he could just do whatever he wanted joe latriglia also very
00:37:48funny oh yeah so good very very funny what's his name in that i forget the character's name yeah i know
00:37:53he's uh he has like a hispanic name right uh i think so ramirez no andy samberg i'm saying yeah
00:37:59yeah yeah yeah it's weird ramirez am i wrong shoot no damn it i gotta look it up later uh i'm gonna
00:38:04look it up but frank uh frank reynolds versus ray uh captain raymond holt let's start with you
00:38:09i'm going frank reynolds um i could just picture him foaming at his mouth on a sidewalk
00:38:15yeah big peralta peralta yeah sorry who's peralta uh samberg oh well um yeah frank reynolds
00:38:24frank reynolds uh it's it's such a bad draw because andre brower is so good and like the
00:38:30character raymond holt is hilarious but it's frank like you're saying the sitting there with the
00:38:34sliding down a dry slide at a water park and cutting his back going to the funeral of his
00:38:41ex-wife to hit on his sister and just go to which he actually that was actual puke yeah he was
00:38:49actually hung over and actually puked yeah him crawling out of the couch naked yeah yeah he is
00:38:56forever he the best thing about him i think is that and i honestly think it helped me with mascots
00:39:03is like i used to watch sunny i'd watch it and i would re-watch immediately the same episode
00:39:09just to watch frank's facial reactions yeah because he's always doing something crazy and
00:39:16like even when he's if he's not talking it like it doesn't matter he'll always have like a
00:39:19and there's like some weird face and that would kill me it was so funny it was so unnecessary like
00:39:25yeah and he just he was so fucking good at it um and still is obviously he is alive um but it's frank
00:39:32every name i say i'm like i don't know how that person's gonna lose yeah like i don't know how frank
00:39:38loses but he also like um like and i love and i i love holt he's great but it's it's an easy
00:39:43bloodbath it was the thing too i think like danny to be able to do anything yeah you know what i mean
00:39:47which like he's like a he's a well-respected actor going into that show like not that he's not now he
00:39:51still is like the fact that he was willing to be like yeah you could meet me butt naked going
00:39:55through a couch well have i ever told you the story when he came on kfc radio i'm not sure which
00:40:00specific one no so he came on kfc radio i'll be quick about this but uh he came on kfc radio like
00:40:05five years ago we'll call it whatever your dumbo came out yeah yeah oh his daughter
00:40:10his daughter came too right his daughter no there's a different time he came okay uh and
00:40:14so we're at serious studios and we're talking about dumbo and all this stuff and so we gotta
00:40:19talk about sunny we're getting into sunny with him and like is there anything that you wouldn't do
00:40:24like have you ever said no to something in a script like because you do a lot of crazy shit
00:40:28and he tells a story where he goes all right there was one time
00:40:31he goes he goes like the script for the day i'm in the car and i'm reading it and he's like
00:40:38and the first thing that happens to me is i just get raped
00:40:41right and he goes and then oh no he goes to jail for some reason and the first thing that happens to
00:40:48him in jail is he gets raped and so then he becomes a white nationalist and becomes a nazi
00:40:55so he can stop getting raped by everyone else in prison but then he realizes the initiation
00:41:01to being a nazi is he has to get raped
00:41:03gets raped by the nazis and then they realize that something went wrong and his prison yeah he
00:41:11gets out of prison but in order to get out of prison he's gotta get raped by the guards
00:41:14and he said he's in the back of like a suburban on his way to set and he's steaming mad he's like
00:41:21this is insane i've done everything for these fucking guys why the fuck with i'm not getting
00:41:25raped to 10 times and he calls him up and he's like you guys are out of your mind i'm not getting
00:41:29raped fucking a bunch of times in the show and they're like read the whole script frank or read
00:41:33the whole script danny and he's like i write the whole script read the whole script danny and when
00:41:40he's getting raped by the prison guards at the end of the episode one of them whispers into his ear
00:41:44april fools danny and he's telling us the story he's like i didn't know they'd write a whole fake
00:41:51script just about me getting raped that's a funny concept yeah and then after the episode after the
00:41:59interview the disney people came up to us and they were like yeah we can't have all that in a
00:42:05dumbo interview but honestly but they were cool they were like can you just cut all that and just put
00:42:10it in a different episode different thing yeah but yeah sure so we actually like two weeks later
00:42:16dennis came on and we just put we played him that clip and it was funny because i remember that i
00:42:22remember he was pissed that's so funny uh so it's all frank right now yeah frank i mean i would like
00:42:28to give some love to brooklyn 99 very underrated i feel like post like seinfeld friends era any show
00:42:35that even post like the office i think a comedy in the 2010s that's stuck that premieres on like
00:42:41one of the big basic cable channels i just don't think is going to be as funny yeah i don't know why
00:42:46like like an abc or nbc whatever fox comedy like well that's not gonna be as funny as like something
00:42:51on fx or hbo but brooklyn 99 is like the exception yeah like streamer funny on basic cable yeah but
00:42:57frank reynolds through this frank reynolds gonna move on i just to reiterate your point i like
00:43:03started i only started watching brooklyn 99 when it was on netflix and i'm like this was on fox
00:43:08this is great that happens a lot i feel like with fox shows like fox sneakily gets a lot of good
00:43:12comedy shows and then they just you don't hear about them and they go to streamer again a second
00:43:15life yeah yeah um so 10th seed now versus the 7th seed the 10th seed is joe bluth but played by
00:43:23will arnett he if you're he's the one out of arrested development i think deserves it the most
00:43:27because he's the fun i would have went buster personally but it's yeah i guess if it's like
00:43:31because i was thinking about a pound for pound like joke for joke line for line or whatever
00:43:34and that in my head or no i'm sorry tobias funke tobias is up there too tobias funke you might be
00:43:41more funke than dumpy tobias funke is maybe my favorite like you asked me like oh any off the
00:43:48radar ones and i just couldn't think of any tobias funke might be my favorite all time his his line
00:43:53which then the office kind of appropriated a bit when he was like he can't fuck his wife because
00:43:59he hasn't gotten over 9-11 yeah so funny and then but then ryan uses it in the office he uses
00:44:05that line when uh kelly kapoor is like why'd you break up and he's like i don't know i think i
00:44:10never really processed 9-11 it's like you took that from arrested you sons of bitches that's
00:44:14the russell brothers anal rapists yeah to him like joining like the the gay group or and uh i mean
00:44:20never nudes blue men group dude when when they have the uh when he's talking to his wife i forget
00:44:25her name uh and they're talking about an open marriage and she she's like what about an open
00:44:31marriage that's dumb that never works so people always think it can't work for anyone else but
00:44:35might work for us but it just might work for us all right fuck it's tobias let's get tobias in here
00:44:42let's get tobias but tobias is going to get up against the number seven seed who i know is one
00:44:47of fights his favorite characters which is jack donaghy jack donaghy played by alec baldwin in 30
00:44:51rock he is jack donaghy is so so funny he's on donaghy sorry not donaghy right because his siblings go
00:44:58by donaghy yeah they get a big fight about that so many funny moments for him the one that has been
00:45:03going viral up recently is like when he's talking to tracy jordan and like impersonating his parents
00:45:07oh yeah it's so good uh you ain't no damn fool i might just be an ignorant black man from the south
00:45:14and like and like the therapist is like what are you doing like it's so good uh so tobias
00:45:20that just randomly reminded me of another tracy jordan line when he gets uh he happens in jack's
00:45:25office when he gets in trouble for uh swearing and he gets sued he has to pay a 500 000 fine to
00:45:32the fcc and he goes 500 grand can anyone cut this watch in half

00:46:00but no but she was i mean she's hilarious she is we talk about every line is hilarious yeah
00:46:07the rural gerardo so good uh so tobias funke versus jack donaghy uh start with you tommy
00:46:14tobias i mean listen i so i've seen about two seasons of 30 rock very funny just haven't got
00:46:20all the way through it but liked everything i saw but tobias funke i can't even think of him
00:46:24earlier he might be my one one i don't know if anyone just consists like laughs per time on
00:46:29screen is everything he says is funny such a good delivery too especially when he starts doing like
00:46:35the acting stuff like hardcore yeah is it very like that theatrical delivery to everything
00:46:39marlon's got some tobias funke just a little bit the uh speaking of tobias david cross one of my
00:46:49favorite stories did coke at the white house correspondents dinner just because he did a
00:46:53key bump at his table because or i think he said he put it in his knuckle um but you just want to
00:46:58be able to say he did coke in the same room as the president i never watched mr show and i feel like
00:47:05i should i dude i started watching mr show when we started doing out of order yeah um funny stuff a
00:47:11lot of a lot of like crazy stuff but i i really liked it odenkirk's so funny he's funny i feel it
00:47:16should work uh so one vote for tobias over donaghy uh jack jack jack again i'll i don't know how he
00:47:24loses jack is gotta be one of the greatest sitcom characters all time i'd go with donaghy too so
00:47:30funny i was watching the episode uh because i kind of restarted it soft restarted it recently where uh
00:47:34he's going after um kenneth in the poker kibble game yeah the seamer makes him let bet his jacket
00:47:41yeah and he's talking southern too right yeah yeah kenneth allen payne yeah yeah uh so two for jack
00:47:49donaghy one for tobias i gotta send it to the coin toss to the coin get up with tommy but i do i do
00:47:56like jack donaghy is it gee or he i think he's the gee and his siblings go by he um what's an
00:48:04isabel rossellini or isabel rossellini yeah oh damn it jenny i love my beef big beef and cheddar
00:48:10or uh fights are like why are you in a tux oh yeah wait it's after six lemon i'm not a farmer
00:48:20uh so you're gonna pick for tobias funke heads or tails heads for funke flip a coin
00:48:27it's tails this time it's tails this time boy jack let's go on a run on a run and now our last
00:48:36matchup that pains me our last matchup on this side uh michael scott our number two seat which
00:48:41you want to talk about beans he's just up there man he's just easy there's no way i think out of
00:48:46again the office characters he's the one yeah clear clear one easy yeah
00:48:49uh and he's going up against our number 15 seed which is now going to be costanza oh
00:48:54this is an error in the seating this is my fuck up because we should i should i'm saving a spot for
00:49:04seinfeld and because i just forgot to put it back in uh i mean we started off with the island all the
00:49:09snow yeah so costanza versus michael scott um
00:49:14it's really hard these might be my top two yeah with you i think i'm gonna have the 15 seed upset
00:49:28michael scott not against michael scott but maybe for what he set up in later sitcoms i think every
00:49:36show now tries to have their own michael scott and that gets a little exhausting um where i don't know
00:49:42no this is the same thing about costanza too
00:49:44who's costanza though i don't know
00:49:49like being irritated by like you could say dennis is a costanza you know i mean like he's irritated
00:49:55by everything around him the slightest grievance is the biggest thing
00:49:59yeah i'm going costanza still one for costanza i would go for costanza as well over scott i i like
00:50:08michael scott a lot i think costanza's more stood the test of time to me anyway i would agree with
00:50:15that um again like tommy these are two of the best i'm gonna go costanza simply because my favorite
00:50:25michael scott scene is not a funny scene oh it's the scott's tots or no my favorite michael scott scene
00:50:31is when he comes back from survivor man and he's been in the woods and jim's been trying to run the
00:50:37office and he tried to change birthdays and and michael scott sits down next to him and he's it's the
00:50:44not the only time but it's one of the few times in the show where he's just totally normal and you can
00:50:48see who he really is like he just does that goofy stuff at the office to make people like
00:50:55like he said he's he's sitting there cross-legged and he's eating cake and jim's like i had a bad day
00:51:00i tried to change all the birthdays to one day and michael's eating he's like oh yeah i tried that
00:51:06big mistake you'll get better at it and he's like just so like calm and connecting with with jim
00:51:12yeah it's a serious scene yeah it's it's my favorite michael scott scene one of my favorite
00:51:16scenes in sitcoms to be honest um that's a great pull and so because of that i love michael scott
00:51:21but because of that i'm gonna go with uh costanza shrinking shrinkage alone yeah yeah that's one of
00:51:26the funnier sitcoms tommy i'm glad my vote doesn't matter i don't know where i guess costanza but man
00:51:32i mean michael scott going out front i know it's crazy it's again that's an earnest eating i i'll eat
00:51:38that one uh so now we're gonna run through our playoffs starting off with the uh dennis versus selena
00:51:44my art meyers good lord what a fucking matchup jesus christ uh tommy i gotta go dennis just
00:51:51because i've seen more of always sunny and like i said he always sunny one of the funniest shows ever
00:51:55dennis in my mind was my my one one pick so many good moments i again i'm sure selena's great i just
00:52:00haven't seen enough but i'm going dennis dennis i i love dennis with all my heart as one of the few
00:52:05who have seen veep i gotta vote for selena here yeah i think selena is more consistently funny
00:52:12throughout the breadth of the show veep i think dennis has given me more in like actual laugh
00:52:18out loud laughs like him in the car getting road rage the the the suburbs cereal dude the suburbs
00:52:22that episode is great the one where he spills the cereal like yeah and also the suburbs episode
00:52:27like we're in mac and dennis move to the oh yeah yeah yeah and they have mac and cheese for every
00:52:32meal and he's caught in traffic getting into philly every day and he's like he's like you seize the
00:52:36gap you fat bitch like it's he's so fucking good dude another guy who like barely smiles the whole
00:52:42series yeah yeah like just very straight face delivery dry so vain like him so vain turning
00:52:49gay to get the tips because he loves the attention the dennis system is it's incredible yeah i do like
00:52:54comedy characters where nothing's funny to them yes they're like him constantly having like these
00:53:01like uh what do you call like um midlife crises type things yeah yeah yeah like he realizes he needs
00:53:06to marry his high school sweetheart dude he has so many good ones um yeah right from the pilot i mean
00:53:12his twirl pretending to be a gay bartender probably a closeted bartender but he's great man him maybe
00:53:19being a murderer also yeah yeah yeah yeah uh so two for dennis one for selena myers
00:53:26i went dennis as well dennis as well we'll go three to one dennis uh so now we have larry david
00:53:33versus ron swanson i think this is just a fucking route but i don't know yeah i think it's a sweep
00:53:38yeah i'm not even gonna count larry david i think david's gonna be chalked to the title
00:53:42i you know what we might get we might get a david versus costanza oh my gosh it's very really
00:53:48that is kind of what it comes down to but does it tint them no one is the other i guess
00:53:55no not really we'll see it's a fascinating philosophical conundrum we get there david we're
00:54:01assuming is sweeping ron swanson yeah you're like we could be heading to a larry david george
00:54:06costanza is costanza goliath in that match is it david versus goliath this is the superman thing
00:54:10we were talking about at the beginning yeah we gotta get crypto in here uh larry david versus dennis
00:54:16uh start with you tommy oh yeah i'm still going larry david i mean just a perfect character
00:54:24one of my you know all-time favorite comedic minds larry david i gotta go larry david larry david
00:54:30it is in all likelihood larry david but i'm gonna go dennis i'm just gonna because at this point at
00:54:41this stage like i'm just kind of going for interesting stuff now like all everyone here
00:54:45is as good as it can be yeah that's true damn what if we got all eight of these people and put
00:54:51him in a superhero movie that'd be fucking awesome get the russo brothers to redirect that dude no
00:54:57rule dennis versus larry david is like larry david is for sure the better comedic mind like that i
00:55:05think and these are two like great shows like no bad seasons fuck man you go first i'll go after
00:55:11you how about that uh yeah to lighten your pick i think dennis has more of an ensemble to work with
00:55:19um where larry carries his show and the strength of to tommy's point like i'm just gonna play this
00:55:26character myself and like he did there's like the persona and his real life it it blends i think i
00:55:35don't know a lot of it is improv too yeah very impressive yeah yeah which i realize like i think
00:55:41being the editor of curb is the hardest job in the world yeah do you um do you guys know the name
00:55:46jeffrey schaefer that's the guy that produces and i believe directed a lot of episodes of of
00:55:51curb but he's done like every good comedy yeah like euro trip you're i'll look it up i i went
00:55:58through a kick where i was like did he direct your trip or wrote it i think he wrote it uh he's done
00:56:04like i i was reading a bunch of interviews with him and watching a bunch of um interviews of him
00:56:09and i was like this guy might be like my comedic one one and nobody even knows who i i'll find his
00:56:15name they talk about him i know he definitely wrote it i've seen a lot of clips of that where
00:56:18they talk about him like just destroying people in every writer's room for every comedy really
00:56:23yeah jeff schaefer yeah he's done in the league euro trip the league dave one of my favorite shows
00:56:31the dictator um obviously curb hold on let me pull up euro trip in the league are just about as
00:56:38foundational to my sense of humor for better or worse
00:56:43yeah he did the league with his wife is jackie schaefer oh cool who did oh you guys keep voting
00:56:49let me let me pull up his cousin is ari shafi and akiva who's in mascots episode one premiered last
00:56:58night uh leave a hate comment y'all larry david going into the finals i'm gonna vote for him as well
00:57:04now we have frank reynolds versus kenny powers start with you owen damn kind of similar in some ways
00:57:13worked on seinfeld too jeffrey schaefer yeah
00:57:16i mean kenny powers is lights out
00:57:20it's tough
00:57:24i appreciate you agonizing yeah this is tough man i i do think he carries the show more than frank
00:57:37does and for that reason i'll go kenny powers one for kenny i would agree with you like it's more
00:57:43it's kind of like larry david dennis thing where frank is working off my mind yeah frank's working
00:57:48off of an ensemble and is it as funny if it's just him no is kenny powers as funny if he doesn't have
00:57:53janowski yeah yeah so that's weird to think about it but like yeah i guess i gotta go kenny
00:57:59uh frank frank frank frank yeah i haven't seen he's bound down but frank reynolds
00:58:06tommy once again back to the coin coin toss tails for frank anton chigurr over here
00:58:12ted's this time oh shit
00:58:15dude that's unbelievable uh if you get it wrong one more time that's actually kind of bad uh so no jack
00:58:23donaghy versus george costanza donaghy costanza i yeah i mean if we if we if costanza swept michael
00:58:31scott again donaghy's great i from what i've seen but it's costanza costanza i'll go jack
00:58:38you'll go jack i like if you ask anybody on the street who's costanza the 90 people know who they
00:58:44are yeah you might be the reason democracies don't work
00:58:47are there people like you just like oh i feel bad this guy's not gonna get any i'm a nader guy
00:58:54uh costanza yeah so costanza versus kenny powers wow that's actually he lucked out this didn't end
00:59:05up against frank i think it would have been harder how the hell is i mean again maybe it's
00:59:09but kenny powers being in the final four and michael scott being a first round exit it was criminal
00:59:13again that's how brackets i mean i'm eating the bad seating here i i i agree with you but also
00:59:18i i'm not the diehard eastbound guy people love eastbound love so costanza versus kenny powers uh
00:59:28tommy costanza costanza stanza stanza i would do extanzas yeah this is where kenny loses yeah so
00:59:34just cutting the fucking snickers with a fork and knife is awesome
00:59:37so costanza versus larry david in the finals which we talked about yes wow
00:59:43i mean credit to larry david like that almost yeah proves he's me
00:59:47you've earned it if any i don't know if you've ever gotten enough credit in your life
00:59:56but these four in the bracket i mean to write and then play by this bracket the two greatest sitcom
01:00:03characters of all time is it's something yeah yeah both based on him too right yeah he defined
01:00:10to get tv comedy for how many decades four three decades four decades now yeah it's crazy uh so
01:00:16costanza versus larry david in the finals oh and europe first
01:00:19i don't know if my argument is sound but i've been using it for a lot of rounds and larry carries the
01:00:32show more than costanza um and i do i think larry david's character in curb it spawns an entire
01:00:43genre of comedy yeah like this is a curbism or like this would happen in curb like i think people
01:00:48say that so often obviously i think they said people have that about seinfeld as well
01:00:53i think but i think i think curb gets referenced more at this point i think about like any moment in
01:00:57my life that it's like a curb moment i can i call it that too i mean one of the biggest things that's
01:01:02currently happening at this company is the argument over dog poop yeah yeah curb episode
01:01:07yeah big time like it's just literally a curb episode i will say one argument for costanza is that
01:01:14larry david the character is just he's almost not even acting like he's really just reacting you're
01:01:21right right like costanza like is almost more impressive with jason alexander is like not like that
01:01:26at all yeah like he's like a theater and like the fact that he was able to embody that character so
01:01:30well i think is i'm not necessarily voting for him but that is points for costanza no i'm voting for
01:01:35him for that reason that's actually a really good reason that one might i might undo it i was gonna
01:01:40say i was like look we all just had a round of applause for larry david great 75 of this is larry david
01:01:4625 deserves a little recognition i think because i think well if larry david spawned this whole thing
01:01:52like if that character isn't played right it doesn't it doesn't spawn 40 years yeah it goes
01:01:58back yeah shit i didn't even think about it that way because i was thinking like larry david's made
01:02:02me laugh more than costanza i would say like but that's also just there's more of him talking than
01:02:07there is of costanza talking and it's really good writing it's him putting himself in hilarious
01:02:11situations yeah but a lot of times the situation's the funniest part of the scene not him whereas
01:02:18in costanza's reacting to something happening to jack can be sitting in a diner and be the
01:02:21funniest part of it i don't know i kind of like that reasoning i'm going i'll go with costanza on
01:02:26it good on you smokes uh you're gonna stick your stick can't stand you i'm going costanza that
01:02:32means costanza george costanza the wow the lowly 15 seed how did that happen uh is going to win
01:02:38the bracket 186 best sitcom character the uh if you guys had to do your like what would your final four
01:02:43be my would be larry david george costanza michael scott tobias funke those would be i think my
01:02:48four i think that's think costanza larry david kenny powers oh dude we didn't have anybody from
01:02:57entourage but i don't know if that's a sitcom it's more of a drama yeah um demand yeah i think i would
01:03:04have larry david costanza selena meyer and like i like michael scott i don't think i would have in my top
01:03:12four might be i don't know the fourth spot maybe it's always any character like the whole cast i
01:03:18guess um now i'm just cracking up at the idea of any other of these sitcoms having a season where
01:03:23the protagonist fucks sasha grain does coke for the whole season did you ever have like a curb
01:03:29by the way happen in your life you can imagine like a moment you're like that was a curb thing
01:03:32oh like all every day yeah i don't know if i have one that sticks out the one that i can remember is
01:03:38i think i might have told you this once uh because i thought it could be a funny idea for
01:03:42doing an out of order one day the i was at a play uh with my fiancee and we're sitting there and like
01:03:48they're all the people are filing in and this old guy is like walking down next to me and he just like
01:03:52busts ass and falls and i like jumped out of my seat to grab him and stop him from falling more because
01:03:57he was like basically like cascading down the chairs so i grabbed him and stopped him from falling
01:04:02oh shit you're okay okay and like he i grabbed him and helped put him back in my seat and i sit back down
01:04:06and my fiancee's like i'm like i look at my fiancee i'm like pretty cool right and she's like your
01:04:11whole ass just came out your whole ass came out of your shorts and you flashed the entire theater
01:04:17behind you and i was like that that is to me in my brain a curb type thing yeah yeah the one that
01:04:22sticks out to me and i was just telling the story it might have been to you guys recently but i was
01:04:25in the chicago airport trying to get breakfast and i went to the and this was the most where i acted
01:04:30like larry david too where he i went to this hostess at the restaurant like you guys have breakfast
01:04:34and coffee she's like we have breakfast don't have coffee you got to go to duncan so like all right
01:04:38so i go to the duncan right next door they don't have breakfast but they only have coffee so i'm
01:04:42like all right oh perfect i'll get my coffee from duncan and i'll go back to the restaurant and get
01:04:46breakfast i get the coffee i go back to the hostess well i got my coffee she goes you can't bring
01:04:51outside drink i'm like you don't serve coffee do you understand like this one place is coffee
01:04:58breakfast the other doesn't what is the issue with bringing something you don't even sell in here
01:05:02also we're at a fucking airport like it's not like it's like you all make the same money i think
01:05:06i got it i got it you got in i got it it's not like you're going to like nobu or something
01:05:11airport restaurant that's insane holy shit um while we're at it i was coming up the subway steps the
01:05:18other day and an older woman was lugging a baby in a carriage i'm not supposed to offer to carry a
01:05:26human baby right i think you gotta i think luggage yes but i don't know about baby i think it does
01:05:31feel a little like i'm stealing your kid right like it's one of those i didn't offer and then
01:05:37got booed for not offering yeah as another guy really after me dude it's it's really hard
01:05:45knowing when to help like i i go through all the time boarding flights these days go for it with
01:05:51old people they seem to but then people will be like no i got it and i'm like all right they're
01:05:55almost offended like i i always i never hit it right i never offer the right person who's like
01:06:01you just gotta hit it real quietly yeah yeah you know i i like similar that i had a thought one
01:06:07time where i saw a lady moving forward i should be i should be grabbing babies you gotta grab babies
01:06:12like similar that i saw a lady with a baby in a stroller kid in a stroller like running down like
01:06:17the west side highway or something and like my initial thought was oh nice like mom on the run like
01:06:21she's getting a run in while she takes i was like if i saw a man running with a stroller i'd be like
01:06:25he just stole a baby yeah you know what i think about sometimes too do you ever um like if you're
01:06:33walking behind yeah you're just walking you notice that you've been walking behind the same woman for
01:06:37a long time oh yeah and you get really nervous about it like it happens to me all the time and i'm
01:06:40like and if you make the same turn as them to a church and go to confession yeah dude if i if i make
01:06:45the same turn as them after walking behind them for like a block i'm like they think i'm going
01:06:49after yeah right now if it's dark out i'll fully just like stop head no i'll head to the street
01:06:54and just get a get in front of women yeah yeah i gotta walk fast and overtake you so you don't
01:06:59think i'm i'm going after you left passing yeah like i'm a biker but uh anyway wait last thing uh
