Watch Reggie Watts and Will Forte make beautiful music.

(via IFC)

I guess the secret is out: We shot all of Comedy Bang Bang during a month-long dance party. We would have gotten away with it if Dave Ferguson didn’t insist on jamming while we shot this very, VERY serious piece of comedy.

Just a trailer for a little show. Maybe you’ve heard of it, it’s called COMEDY BANG BANG ON IFC!

Comedy Bang Bang was as close to the way I’d want to do a show, at least structurally, because there were things written, it was essentially point-to-point improv, and there were writers on set—Leo Allen was one—and they would keep things on track like a joke gets put in there, but then there’s tons and tons of leeway for improvisation. Then they had multiple cameras; they had up to five cameras on scene, so they had massive coverage for improvisational moments; they could edit it. It was really easy for the crew, especially once we got into the groove of making these episodes. Everyone knew the routine. I mean, we were ahead of schedule; this team was so incredibly efficient. So yeah, that was a taste of what it could be like with my own idea. It was definitely a taste.

Reggie Watts

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!

The brilliantly talented Chris Vanartsdalen and Jefferson Dutton made these and they’re so bonkers good.

Jon Hamm and Reggie Watts make beautiful music on the set of Comedy Bang Bang.

How awesome is a 2 story Scott and Reggie head?
From  @hersoncastillo:

“@reggiewatts and @scottaukerman on the corner of 7th Ave and West 30th, #NYC. Word to the big bang.”



IS THIS FUCKING REAL? NO WAY!All I want is for the world to watch Comedy Bang Bang. If I had a million dollars I would spend it on billboards and television ads for Comedy Bang Bang. I can’t have a conversation with someone that doesn’t include Comedy Bang Bang. So please, for the love of god, watch it so we can make more!

Comedy Bang! Bang!: Anniversary Party!

What do you need to throw the perfect anniversary party? You need some tunes, you need some bros, and if you’re Comedy Bang Bang you need some celebrity guests! Put on your party hats and boogie shoes for an hour and a half of Zach Galifianakis, Harris Wittels, Brett Gelman, El Chupacabra, Marissa Wompler, Cake Boss, and a posthumous visit from Christopher Hitchens. We’re making new friends in musicians St. Vincent and Toph Shay, and we’re playing everyone’s favorite party games like Harris’ Foam Corner. Make like Zach and get yourself a cupcake to celebrate the the three-year anniversary of Comedy Bang Bang!

This was a fun day. Congratulations Scott! Nobody deserves success more than the Scottobot.

I LOVE THIS!!  My friend Kirsten Lepore is working on a new stop-motion animated film and a bunch of us got together and designed puppet extras for her.  Looks like little ol’ Fourvel is making a cameo!  I built the skeleton and head for this guy but she finished him up (i.e. 90% of the work) and, I have to say, did a MUCH better job than I ever could have done.  SO CUTE.  Can’t wait to see him move!

I mean, there is only one logical explanation for this: Comedy Bang Bang on IFC is already more popular than Fox’s GLEE. That’s awesome news for us wanting a second season!

When are Jack Sjunior and Brian Pieces going to be back on the podcast?
My mother, on the phone just now.

On the comment thread for today’s Comedy Bang Bang with Will Forte and Leo Allen, someone posted Some Oatmeal. And it reminded me that Some Oatmeal is the best.

Everyone HAS to watch Comedy Bang Bang on IFC (starting June 8th) so I can keep enjoying oatmeal with my broz!

Comedy Bang! Bang!: Jing It Or Ding It!

We’re back again with more previously unreleased Comedy Bang Bang hilarity. This time first time guests Leo Allen and Will Forte remember some of their favorite rejected SNL pitches, discuss the tragedy of divorce, and try their hand at a brand new game: JING IT OR DING IT!

Leo is the best.

A helpful mnemonic device from Comedy Bang Bang ep. 150.

slantedandenchanted:

K = Kid; he’s a kid
N = Naughty; he’s a naughty kid
I = I am the person who will grab the knife
F = Friend; he’s not our friend
E = Education (or, Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge)
G = Gadzooks! I’m terrified of this little child who is going to stab me with the knife!
R = Really? Don’t you think it’s time you grabbed the knife?
A = A shame it would be, should the boy grab the knife first, then stab us!
B = Boy
