Comedy Bang Bang - Calvin Redding's Bank Robbery Story

[@joshchristie4615]

One of my faves of all time.

[@TheHeraldinYellow]

This is one of the greatest things I've ever heard from cbb

[@rome8180]

Most improv comedians follow the rule of "yes and." Mike Hanford's whole sense of humor is based around refusing to do that.

"...I don't have the hay *with* me."

1:37 Was that a subtle Peter, Paul, and Mary reference? "If you haven't got a ha'penny then God bless you"

[@muse1979]

I love when PFT throws out the obscure reference that no one picks up on

[@absynthe404]

@@muse1979 Like when Al A Peterson referenced that one song from Karate Kid. The words are just so common that even Joe Esposito himself could miss it.

[@larklundberg5288]

isn't it from a Christmas carol?

@@larklundberg5288 Christmas is Coming Christmas is coming, the goose is getting fat Won't you please put a penny in the old man's hat If you haven't got a penny, a ha'-penny will do If you haven't got a ha'-penny, then God bless you Why was I able to type this out from memory meanwhile I can't remember important shit lol

I love that Scott hated this character so much and Mike decided to just play again...in the same tour.

[@rome8180]

Mike's whole sense of humor revolves around mundanity. You'd think Scott would get that by now. Even when Mike plays John Lennon a lot of his stories are purposefully boring. And he loves to shoot down "yes and" setups.

[@rome8180]

Also, I've noticed from many other pods that Scott has an extremely short attention span and has zero patience for digressions in stories. So I don't think his annoyance is just something he's playing up for laughs.

[@Chicagopaisan]

I was involved!

This is my favorite example of “Anti-humor” being such bullshit. Funny is funny. Love this.

[@rome8180]

How does the idea that "funny is funny" prove that anti-humor is bullshit?

[@samueldenehytheoriginalhal6022]

That was funny.

[@kaycee8948]

Calvin Redding or John Lennon?

[@andyz9793]

well you know you can come back any time you like

[@iconoclast137]

john lennon is busy trying to jump the grand canyon in his RV

[@youdesklamp]

@@iconoclast137 He could try using a charcoal-colored Dodge Ram. After the police are done with it of course. Y'know, you can get cars a lot cheaper at a police auction...

[@boppob1343]

What makes this even fucking funnier than it already is, is the fact that literally no one in the audience or ON STAGE got the joke that Calvin's "allergies" is actually him being allergic to hay which is his entire career...

[@itscalleddesign9940]

Scott says it

[@therealCamoron]

Uh yeah I think they got that
