Comedy Bang! Bang! - WOULD YOU RATHER..? - 15 from the 1st 250 CBB eps w SCOTT AUKERMAN & 37 guests!

[@monehget]

Everyday on my way to college I would listen to CBB on repeat for all of this. So nostalgic for something like this but lightning in a jar

[@Hebsparks]

Absolute comedy beauty! Grins and giggles galore for years evermore. Thank you for this compilation!!

[@BabyFaceBren]

You're welcome. Enjoy!

[@ADDodd]

Monumental. You do the lord's work

[@BabyFaceBren]

It's a privilege! I had so much fun with this. i hope you love it.

[@annangel4828]

BFB, you continuously bring joy to the people. Bless you, my son. And can we have some more, please? Much love and thanks!

[@BabyFaceBren]

No worries. More Would You Rather or more in general?

[@XxExoNine]

what a treat, thank you!

[@BabyFaceBren]

Glad you enjoyed it!

You're welcome, I hope the video lives up to it!

This is just long enough to get me through the day, lol. Well done once again Sir!

[@BabyFaceBren]

You're welcome (and I'm watching it and laughing already!)

[@ianobrien3248]

@@BabyFaceBren Amazing to think of all the things that have happened to Andrew Daly after that first episode, when he became Andy and all of these personalities formed within him.

[@BabyFaceBren]

@@ianobrien3248 Yep. Who would've known how many great episodes he'd be part of. And in other shows, like his own.

I remember asking a while back if you ever thought about doing CBB game compilations, and I just discover this video! Many of these I don't remember at all and this video just proves how good this game is at bringing out the best out of everyone, including Scott. I remember him bringing it back a couple of years ago and completely deconstructing the game to the point where he didn't ever open the floor for questions once, which I found hilarious. And he mentioned it last week or this week at the end of the episode, so hopefully there's a few more would you rathers on the horizon. I have to ask, have you ever met or DM'd with Scott? And of course, thank you for all the work you do. I started listening to CBB probably 6 years ago and only got stitcher premium for a short while to go through all of the episodes once, but now just listen to the new episodes and occasionally look up my favorite moments from the past on KZbin. So your work really gives me a chance to rediscover much of the show's highlights and off-the-rail moments.

[@BabyFaceBren]

Hi Chris, I'm glad you like the videos. I'm also happy to hear Scott has mentioned "Would You Rather" recently, not just because it might mean a return of the game, but maybe it means Scott heard my compilation! I haven't ever had contact with Scott about my videos, though I did speak with him once when he was In Australia doing a radio interview and took a few calls. I asked whether he had heard from any of the people impersonated on CBB and he said one had. Scott didn't say the name, just gave hints, but it had to be Tom Licus. Scott said the guy LIKED Adomian's portrayal of him and asked to be on the show, a generous offer declined by Scott. The only Comedy Bang! Bang! guest who has ever referred to one of my videos, as far as I'm aware, was Ben Schwartz, who tweeted about my first Scott and Ben video and that was pretty cool. Thanks again for your nice comments about the videos.

[@christopherzarnsy468]

Thanks

You’re welcome

[@charlesmurtaugh3771]

God the Michael Caine/Shakira stuff (2:21:30) absolutely undoes me.

[@BabyFaceBren]

Yes, I have returned to that a few times already. Thinking of doing a separate edit just of that ep.

[@sarahobothulhu]

Excellent compilation work, and the graphics portions are both helpful and a delight.

[@BabyFaceBren]

Thanks Tomas. It was fun coming up with images to match the choices, though that last one had me scratching my head for a while. A lot of people probably won't get it, a typically old reference.

[@sam7098]

Woah I played tribes as basically a second job in college and 'shazbot' was kind of a meme emote. Everyone used it as just a sub for 'shit' or 'i fucked up', I just assumed it was a made up word! Never expected to actually learn something from one of these haha. Thanks BFB awesome comp! wish they still played.

[@BabyFaceBren]

ha ha. I knew shazbot, but I do learn a LOT from making these. Uaatu the watcher? WTF? Star Wars (yawn), all that comic book & superhero stuff (except the Batting Gentleman) is as foreign as Cantonese to me. And I ONLY just learned from making the "Weird Al" video that the theme Scott and PFT sing a lot is "Billy in the Streets"! So yes, these videos are VERY educational. Glad you like the comp!

[@piratepilates]

exactly what I was looking for bud

Cheers, glad you found it!

That song tho (edit: That Song though!! ✨👌🏼)

[@BabyFaceBren]

I'm not sure if that's a positive or negative.

[@Hebsparks]

@@BabyFaceBren 🤦🏼‍♂️ lol, sorry! It’s super positive. Absolutely loved it! It put an awesome capstone on the WYR experience. Creative and hilarious.

[@BabyFaceBren]

@@Hebsparks Whew! Thanks heaps and sorry, I first saw this comment as I was getting into bed, having just removed my specs and did not see the emojis!

[@maxxmarko8]

I noticed you made an editing decision on that very last WYR question

[@BabyFaceBren]

It's really just a matter of interpretation (and having no idea what ELSE to put there!) Seriously, I was well aware of the possibility of cancellation when I considered an image for that part. Harris and Michael were aware of the sensitivity THEN and that was 12 years ago! Once upon a time, comedy was supposed to be subversive. Now it (mostly) tries NOT to trigger, so I think I got out of that one OK!

[@inbhir_nis]

PLEASE sell that big dog shirt. i would buy it

[@BabyFaceBren]

I don't own the images. I don't think the judge would allow it. Watch yourself, counselor!

[@kabalofthebloodyspoon]

I got a question on one time. It was so gross that Scott declined to score the game

[@JLandmaster]

Wish they still played Would You Rather nowadays

[@BabyFaceBren]

I wish they did a LOT of things they used to do. Cake Boss (Cake Boss), Lord ALW, Jarles, oh, hang, on that's just PFT. How about Kid Detectives, El Chupacabra & the baby & the old man (& the goat), or "my wiiiiiiiiiiife!"' and "iiiiit's been?". Why did they have to grow up, when we didn't?

[@xKjimmyJx]

@@BabyFaceBren every time Scott or a guest says it's been or been a while or my wife or mentions the number 19 (he might have done that one recently) i get a tick in my brain. I know he does too but fights it for some sort of "maturity" or other reason I'm guessing?

[@BabyFaceBren]

@@xKjimmyJx I'm the same. If he or anyone says "my wife', I think Borat (or Scott's bad impression of him). I sometimes put it in a voice balloon if he DOESN'T say it, but I know from radio that most people get sick of those repetitions pretty quickly. I don't and you don't, but most do. And it's harder for the host and guests to drop if THEY enjoy it. So I think that's why it sounds like Scott is fighting it. Because he'd like to scream "my wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiife" but he knows it polarises the audience. He may have even had people begging him to stop! When the "schmoopy" episode of "Seinfeld" came out (which will tell you how long it is since I was on the radio!) the other two and I on the breakfast show started calling each other (and guests) "Schmoopy" often and just like George and co. found Jerry's "schmoopy", people must've hated it. One night at some promotional do a guy came up and said "PLEASE stop calling each other Schmoopy". So we did. We learned the same lesson I think Scott did, the show isn't for US, but I like all the in-stuff and running jokes from Scott and co. I didn't intend to, but I've started some of my own running jokes (like engineer Cody in the Minority Report computer room) which are ALSO probably starting to annoy some, but, meh.

[@BabyFaceBren]

I probably should add, it wasn't JUST one of us calling another "Schmoopy". It was then followed by that person saying "I'm not Schmoopy, YOU'RE Schmoopy!". The more I think about it, the more I realise how unprofessional it was and I am reminded of a comment Scott made to PFT after similar fun, something like "our heads are so far up our own asses!", but we were number 1 in a market with all the Melbourne stations accessible so, meh. Just as CBB would still be popular if Scotty Auks threw in a few "my wiiiiiife"s or "iiiiiiiit's" now and then. Then they'd give something to those of us who didn't grow up as well as those who HAVE moved on!

[@JLandmaster]

@@BabyFaceBren I see what you’re saying and I think there is merit to it. However, I think that nowadays they are willing to make fun of certain groups of people and not others based on the politics of our time. Most (if not all) of the characters have no issue lampooning Western culture (especially Christian culture) which is fine by me, but making fun of other cultures becomes problematic in a way it didn’t use to. The self-censoring is obvious in a way it wasn’t before and diminishes the feeling of “putting comedy before all” that the show use to have. Don’t get me wrong, I still listen every week and 80% of the time absolutely love it but it is clear that being funny above all is not as important as it used to be on the show.

[@eugeneschoenberger126]

Would you rather have a would you rather compilation by Babyface Bren or, not have a would you rather compilation by Babyface Bren and your life be meaningless and terrible? I've opened the floor for questions.

[@AmirCollege]

Am I a bear in either of these scenarios?

[@eugeneschoenberger126]

@@AmirCollege no, but you do find love. Because you bare your heart.

[@AmirCollege]

That's pretty good. In the scenario where my life is meaningless and terrible do I create powerful art that stands the test of time?

[@dgerch]

Why did they stop doing these? When was the last Would You Rather?

[@BabyFaceBren]

I'm not sure when Scott stopped doing the game regularly. It was a few years into the show. Someone with more CBB knowledge than I may be able to pinpoint it accurately and hopefully will add the info here. I am planning a new WYR compilation and have a list of 15 games ready to roll, one of my projects for this year.
