[@Jasmine-mh3kf]

When is Paul NOT fantastic? Even when he screws up, he's more charming and hilarious than most!

[@jcb3393]

+The Phantasm it's the bowtie or handkerchief he has around his neck

[@Jasmine-mh3kf]

***** what a classy gent he is.

[@k.pacificnw02134]

On paper he should not be charming and confident, yet he is! He's just gotten funnier and better with age. A delight.

[@enidthezombie]

This is the fancy men episode. I love it.

[@topcad]

Actually, this proves these guys are funny with both pre-written stuff and improv. "and that's how we got podcasts."

[@tweak187]

Lmao it really took this long for you all to figure out that the jokes were written ahead of time? At the end of the day who cares? It's still a great show :)

[@SoyBrig]

WAyyyy tooooo good to be an outtake. Awesome.

[@kylenewk243]

This is still one of the best lineups they have had on this show!

[@SD-th9sp]

Man, you aren’t lying! I loved so many guests, but I sure loved them.

[@MissMonsterMaker]

PFT is such a cutie.

[@DementedMemorys]

Well yeah paul screwed up the joke, but they fucking roll with it like champs

[@shelveDEMO]

0:48 No, You Shut Up!

[@Flaxon-Waxon]

When he finally gets it and you go back to 0:37 that crap is hilarious!

[@SortOfEggish]

Comedic fucking genius.

[@Ms.gnomer]

Paul has the uncanny ability to make me weep with laughter

[@zeekdelmuti8902]

You have no idea how many times I have flubbed a bit on stage and had to live with it, This is basically improv, Paul does not get everything before hand. Have you ever fucked up while talking???? Oh no? YEEEEESSSSSS You are the perfect public speaker Kevin King!!!! Let US ALLLLLL Learn from you!!!!! Us comedians will quit, until you teach us our art! Thank you for being a gentleman!!!! Please, let me get your information so you can come on stage!!! I bet you are perfect every time!

[@jakemewilson]

We get it man, you've been to an open mic.

[@MrKrk221988]

Very funny but this outtake proves that they write their jokes/answers in advance.

[@sathanas420]

was thinking the same thing, its not the same anymore!!!!

[@MrKrk221988]

Why do a gameshow if you know the questions /topics ahead of time? I thought the show was supposed to be improvised. These are professional comedians after all.

[@sathanas420]

yeah i thought it was improvised too.

[@IMortage]

For good impro, I can only suggest dozens of hours of "Whose line is it anyway?" on youtube.

[@MadDawg420]

Chris Hardwick has said before that the point of the show is to get the comedians in a fun and creative "space" with each other and thats when funny moments like this, and all the ones that air in the episodes, can happen. For the record, I also thought it was improvised to begin with but I listen to the Nerdist podcast occasionally where hes mentioned it.

[@coreytrayn]

I love pft so much lol

[@ClemsonFan46]

PLLEEEEASSSE! Call me Gary.

[@rockydennisthe3rd]

Please continue calling me Gary.

[@Equus21]

Mr. Peanutbutter curses! :D

[@Musiclover6404]

Need the rest of the video!

[@ariele3294]

Its just like this in the comedy central app so happy they didn't cut it!

[@stevebrule6172]

cakeboss

[@tuffylaw]

That was beautiful.

[@jonlesliehaynes]

This is awesome!

[@hacksdp3]

Hardwick did not approve of that podcast remark.

[@skacoreification]

the story of everest?

[@justincoleman3805]

Don’t sit d...God damn it!

[@TrumbullComic]

This was a journey.

[@zeekdelmuti8902]

You all are what is wrong with society!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@dustyb58]

in a poorly fuck god dammit?

[@zeekdelmuti8902]

Once you go on stage.... talk to me.

[@JesusHComedy]

At the beginning of everyshow Chris asks the comedians "Who are you playing for?" and then the comedians say a random twitter address. I don't get what this means? are they playing just to give that twitter address publicity or is there something more? how do you get sponsored by a comedian?

[@Awesometrax]

It's actually only on Thursdays, and whoever the comedian is playing for gets a prize if they win.

[@GGoAwayy]

It was just the flimsy loose way they tied the show to the internet somehow. And a few random people got to feel all special and validated because they got mentioned on TV.

[@zeekdelmuti8902]

#butts #youguys

[@w00tec]

I like this man.

[@toddmorgan5388]

wait, so this stuff is written?

[@ParanoidCritter]

Hardwicks parts are (basicly on the speaks) but they give the comedians another try to get the joke out if they mess up like this:D

[@BlaccEagle]

Oh my god I thought it was improvised. I was always impressed after every show. The illusion and magic is now gone....:(

[@ViktorBellevue]

Are you fucked? nevermind I can conclude that you are indeeeeeed fucked..

[@mnyfrsh]

*Nearly* perfect panel selection. Not sure who would replace Proops for true perfection, though.

[@enidthezombie]

John Oliver?

[@ghostgate82]

Steve Agee.

[@kcbennie]

I think Proops is the funniest of the four of them. I'd say replace Hardwick.

[@zeekdelmuti8902]

Do something, then you can critique my heros!!!!!!! check out Midwestern Cowboy, The essential Raul , or Zeek Delmuti

[@MrKrk221988]

Very funny but this outtake proves that they write their jokes/answers in advance.

[@trekker2366]

yeah if you notice how some of them look at the desk infront of them before they answer....no one ever said it was improvised

[@Swenglish]

It's common knowledge that comedy panel shows like this (which are more of a tradition in the UK, but have also been adapted to other places like Australia and Sweden) usually involve some level of preparation. Usually, how they tend to work is the comedians/guests find out in advance what the subjects will be, and they get to write or think up some material in advance (there may have been some shows where the writers will provide them with some additional jokes, but I'm not sure how common that is or whether that's ever been done on @midnight), and then they get in the studio and what comes out is usually a mix of prepared material and improvisation (in fact, this clip alone has a lot of improv in it, such as Chris pretending to play the harmonica while Paul writes a letter, and the whole bit about wishing the audience dead and the origin of podcasts). The details may vary between different panel shows, obviously, but this is vaguely how it usually goes.

[@tomslick1650]

Chris Hardwick is NOT funny.
