Fred's ability to commit to a bit is SO unmatched. It's insane. And matched with David who is SO quick. I could watch this forever.

[@justsomeguy5490]

22:45 "how were you not able to overcome that"

[@dEadERest]

forever seemed to be happening around here, 40:50 , David's unmatched skill at beating the deceased equine was being put to the test, William Demarest as Uncle Charley O'Casey on My Three Sons.😐

[@InglouriousBradsterd]

Fred Armisen and David Cross should have their own podcast. Fred is gold..

It will never cease to amaze me watching A-list comics have an existential crisis when asked to pick a seat.

[@noomade]

LMFAO... also isn't this a reupload ... or did this also happen with them previously

[@TheKarmicRepairCo]

It's really annoying how he does this nonsense. Just tell your guest which is the guest chair. Done. For some reason, so many podcasters now think every podcast should start with five minutes of wasting-everyone's-time banter about nothing.

[@uncletom356]

@@TheKarmicRepairCo Take a breath. Touch grass. There are WAY larger fish to fry than David’s “cold opens” to his (brand new) podcast.

@@TheKarmicRepairCo I think is a bit half the time

[@joshyoerger5271]

Knowing Fred (not personally), this is 💯 a bit.

[@femalehuman7074]

It will take me a few years to fully digest, unpack, and understand the comedic brilliance behind this episode of Senses.

[@B-Nice]

David Cress is one of the best stories I’ve heard all month!!

[@thomasbarrett8767]

Enthralling story! And Fred told it so well!

[@sircrotch]

CLASSIC!

[@damnitabelincoln]

the "We Are Paul Giamatti" t-shirts better be in the store by next week

[@stevenlefcourt]

These two together is pure chaos. It might as well be an episode of Mr. Show. Is this the audition? I love it.

[@DannyHouk]

I used to find David Cross funny years ago. But now in this day and age I still find him funny.

[@wakegary]

the podcast lived up to its name and I had to rewind a few times to digest the bits and gags. Fred is such a positive, caring fellow. Plus he can do accents, which is really all any of us want in comedy, and I think I speak for all of us.

[@itmeurdad]

"Ye dun spak fa me ya wankah"

[@scposeur]

You mean Fred can speak for all of us.

[@wakegary]

@scposeur lol yes, this is the winning comment imo

This was a great one. Love Fred Armisen. He is a national treasure.

Fred truly understood the assignment and he delivered

[@TheOldHippiebilly]

That was one of the goddamn funniest conversations I've ever witnessed. Love y'all! 🤣❤🤣❤🤣❤

[@f0x845]

Fred is always one of my favorite people to listen to. Always doing bits, always hilarious. Such a great person to play with

[@mrjohnnylarock]

Not to split hairs here, but "Jump Around" is House of Pain. Kriss Kross was just "Jump." Shout-out to pilots, though.

[@Travizeno92]

Gosh I love these podcasts. So much better than the old talk show style. These two are so great together.

[@calibby85]

2 of my favorites!!!❤❤

[@ricksteves1973]

Oooh I got some great out loud laughs from this episode. Even a couple of belly laughs, which I didn’t know how much I needed. So good 😂

[@neuvisean1739]

Laughter heals

[@willisattack]

Were they thinking of ethically non-monogamous for the word poly?

[@jonriordan649]

I think they were looking for the word "slutty".

[@foellerd]

I think they meant polygamy/polygamous.

[@mikesuds]

wow. how sad. @@jonriordan649

[@na-vn5qy]

​@@foellerdi feel like there's no way david cross couldn't conjure the word 'polygamous.'

[@darthsirrius]

This is easily the greatest podcast I've ever seen. There's not a single serious moment for the entire time, it's just one long bit and I love the ever living shit out of it lol. If you could distill this down it would absolutely make liquid joy, and it would sustain your happiness the rest of your life.

[@sideshowbobrobert]

subtle improv, so subtle at moments it made me squirm a bit - LOVE it !

[@oliviagray8832]

I could watch these two endlessly 😂😂😂😂

[@crazytail11]

This is great! I love watching anything fred armisen. Cant wait for the scott aukerman ep!

[@ChrisSanders-lv7kl]

big mind flex riffing. i love it

[@andymcneill94]

Perfect guest! ❤❤❤

[@lucianabrile9349]

“I just found out about polyamory” “the hard way?”

[@Dacula_Factory]

🫡

[@ronaldyodersr]

David is right. We've all heard the soundbites of Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan describing his show as "Mr Chips meets Scarface", but they always cut off the part where he says "by way of My Three Sons". You're always learning something new here on Senses!

[@Ham_Party]

This is the most I've ever laughed at a podcast episode

[@ArtistRiley]

ENM? The Curse is amazing!

[@icetech6]

I love watching everyone get stumped on picking which chair.. BTW.. i hope you get PFT on here one day.. but has to do his Werner Herzog for a full hour... it's one of my favorite things ever.

[@Gilliganfrog]

Yep, had to have been "ethical non-monogamy", thanks for chiming in with this! Very similar to, but also quite distinct from, "polyamory".

[@foumana]

I can see 10 hours of this. Thank you fellas.

[@Burgmannn]

I had to actually google "The occupiers" to see if they were indeed bullshitting 😅

[@funkasauruswrex8448]

I just did that too 😆

I was laughing very hard at the gym to myself listening to this

[@joellamkins7847]

They covered “Jump Around”? That’s so cool!

[@gnarkill04]

What a beautiful way to waste an hour of my time! Ugh this is so good!

[@beewcar]

I’ve always wondered about the color of strawberry ice cream, thank god these guys figured it out.

[@louieo.blevinsmusic4197]

Never put much thought into it, just figured it was because of red ice cream would look horrific.

[@groundedextracts]

Fred is the Best 🤩

[@HarietDubman]

Killing it with these guests. Love the pod!

[@Kermode48]

Two of the funniest human beings on earth in one room 🤯

[@emilyharpist]

great guest!

It’s the best when Fred breaks.

[@DizzyEddy]

we need a portlanda episode with both of you

[@DaveSimkus]

YES! David would be perfect for a Portlandia character.

[@mackeymintle66]

57:45 hoping there’s someone watching this far in, and not thinking there’s no tongues nor cheeks.😂

[@jonathancaro6420]

Such a fun show! Love how you folks can go in out of little improvised comedy bits and come back to real life interesting stories.

[@lmenahan]

This is second only to the Jo Firestone episode in it's ability to be so pleasingly bit-riddled and inane. Love this podcast.

[@TheGabiRods]

Great conversation! I know this is random but I am so glad David never changed his nose☺

[@omad777]

Delightful

[@emmalongsjo6917]

oh I’m so excited about this

[@shegun]

I LOVE Fred sooooooooo much.

[@ianjohnson2193]

I thoroughly enjoyed this episode of “OOPS! All Bits!”

[@petelavecchia2968]

These two are in a bit or are they??? Pros!!! 😂😂😂 so good!! What an Art

[@santadog9]

David's garden gnome look needs to be replicated in bobblehead form.

[@andy.113]

get nathan fielder on the show!

[@bardsamok9221]

Finally, Fred!

[@withershin]

I love you two can riff a bit on the term "superfluous". It's an old code but it still checks.

[@lesakramer8369]

David! Fred! 😂❤

[@davidpuletz]

the my three sons bit healed me haha

[@Woozlewuzzleable]

well this is a fever dream.

[@dantiquity]

Over the past few episodes I’ve learned that I should really check out the Denver airport hotel because David just can’t stop talking about it!

[@DunceHouse]

I want Fred to do a Ghost hunting show. I would heavily watch it!

[@user-mc6tr1vp2v]

40:00 You're thinking of Mr. French from Family Affair.

Relationship Anarchy: A philosophy or practice that emphasizes autonomy, wherein relationships are not bound by set rules apart from what the people involved mutually agree upon.

[@JustinTaylormade]

It’s prob been said before, but the whole where to sit thing reminds me of the Audition sketch. “It’s a good play.”

[@claire-uw5cj]

Perfection

[@Carbonator5000]

I now believe in ghosts and know how ice cream gets its color 1:04:30. Great stuff per the usual hilarity. 😂❤

[@Jawn..]

I haven’t laughed out loud at a podcast ep this hard is so long.

[@TheSlizzap]

Was David thinking of “Polyam.” I only know about that term because of the Polyam Belter Fam from The Expanse. Oye Beltalowda!

[@aaronorzechowski1971]

that or 'non monogamous'

[@lpluva1]

I think the only other person who David riffs with better than Fred is Odenkirk, for obvious reasons.

[@Badnewsfeminist]

Love Fred, can’t wait for Scott Aukerman!

[@TolkienStudy]

Fred Armsian is amazing.

[@Jenny_Oblivion]

😂You two together being funny without laughing is great!

[@femalehuman7074]

I literally can't.

[@Garrett1240]

Show of hands if you've ever done a fart

[@dyerseve3001]

I went back in time to watch that poetry show but they failed to mention that I would arrive naked. I was immediately picked up by police and I missed the show. I've been waiting so many years to post this comment, DO NOT GO BACK IN TIME, YOU WILL ARRIVE NAKED! I'm hopeful that David and Fred were unaware of this fact.

[@femalehuman7074]

When halfway through, armisen says "this is a very very boring story I'm about to tell", I FINALLY got what they wete doing here
