The booking department on this show has god tier vibe matching skills

[@almogdov]

They deserve a raise

[@hesimplywillnotdie]

@@almogdov For real - this show is killing it!

[@wendybutler1681]

Reuniting long lost families. 😁😁😁😁😁

[@threepiecefishandchips]

do you people understand how absolutely unhinged a panel has to be for *Steph Tolev* to seem chill and normal

[@SansSelf]

Right?! I caught some stand-up from her and was ready for the unhinged abandon but against Eddie and Jessica... dear gods

[@guaposneeze]

Eddie Pepitone's greatest aspiration in life has always been to yell gibberish on a bus.

[@benchiaase]

Yeah what an explosive group this is

[@brandonnewby178]

Who is Steph Tolev? 😂

[@MatthewTheWanderer]

@@brandonnewby178 Lol, I'm never heard of her before, either. But, I also have never heard of the other 2 panelists.

[@daylightrambler]

How are all 3 contestants possessed by the ghost of Gilbert Gottfried?

[@pierfrancescocosta6336]

Eddie has the voice, Steph has the raw energy, and Jessica has the eccentricity! 😅

[@RegebroRepairs]

No one can handle ALL of Gilbert.

[@bradlemmond]

💀💀💀

[@jasonsherman3708]

Lol

[@SirEwonJung]

If they fuse he is reborn

[@tedweird]

'I assume you're the same' 'I don't have friends' 'I want to date you!' 'Mom and dad together again' They legitimately layered 3 callbacks from different sections of less than 10 minutes of gameplay

[@ashroman6163]

It was so effortless too. Not a millisecond to think of it, each one was just so natural. This is talent and chemistry. Perfection.

[@kate_6436]

Taylor’s outfit is pure ✨bisexual excellence✨ vibes

[@LycanLink]

Or "bisexcellence." 😎

[@_kontingency]

Nahhhhh bit 08 😂

[@graylyte]

Yes I came down into the comments specifically to find this comment. Her vest makes me feel some kinda way.

[@auto_math]

Is she bi ?

[@Kinlui1022]

This panel consists of 3 Gilbert Gotfields from 3 seperate alternate universes.

[@brandonnewby178]

"We're going to be here till midnight." ~a wise host on After Midnight. 😂😂😂

[@spinozatheobvious626]

Well technically it's always before midnight as well... but yeah that was a pretty blatant breaking of the illusion of this being live, which of course it's not.

[@SaraKochanny]

8:55 The triple-callbacks on the "I don't have friends" - "I wanna date you" - "Mom and Dad back together again!" is peak comedic chemistry.

[@d1ni1mueter]

"CAPTAIN! CRUNCH! IS PART OF THE MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX!!"

[@_kontingency]

HAHAHAHA IM SO YELLING THIS RANDOMLY

[@winkingchef]

When he whipped that out a 2nd time as a way for a woman to answer the question "What are you doing on Friday night?" had me ☠

[@dugongsdoitbetter]

I thought everyone knew this !!

[@CLB30ROX]

This is the most chaotic one yet, and I'm LIVING right now 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@LycanLink]

Okay, good. I was about to be like, "Oh no! The dead have risen, and they're commenting on KZbin videos! D: "

[@toniviskari417]

For me, a sign that I know that the panel is awesome is when I cannot even decide which joke to comment on.

[@uninvincibleete]

i mean this in the most complimentary and reverent way: i feel like eddie was born to play 'old man yells at cloud'

[@jasonsherman3708]

I don’t think I’ve seen Taylor laugh as hard at a contestant as she was at Eddie’s jokes

[@amusingreply]

It's da weed

[@pierfrancescocosta6336]

Randy Sklar and Jordan Temple are probably the only exceptions, although they arguably had very different kinds of energy! 😅

[@ms.hotmessandherran6253]

​@@amusingreply I was wondering how many edibles she ate before the show taping.

[@jasonsherman3708]

Admitfully. She always looks fantastic... This is probably the best outfit yet

[@amusingreply]

By it u mean her lesbian energy

[@rajidahae4220]

It's great but the button is a little tight or they need to change something about the bottom a bit IMO so it doesn't pull the fabric so much, it already looks slick AF but i think that would put it over the top!

[@DaeDaeDotNet]

9:21 new CBS sitcom coming this fall "Oh no, Mom's a lesbian" 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂😂🤣😂😝

[@angelaglaros]

Now I understand Pete Holmes’ impersonation of Eddie Pepitone.

[@tuckercase2449]

what did they edit out. THERE IS A WHOLE SECTION MISSING FROM EDDIE'S MONOLOGUE. SHOW ME THE UNUSABLE BITS ON KZbin *YOU MONSTERS*

[@notyournormalg1]

Jessica sold me on the episode immediately.

[@sasukesarutobi3862]

I genuinely choked on my water trying to take a drink while watching this, and now I feel stupid for attempting it without pausing first. Absolutely unhinged, I love this panel.

[@thedrizzle619]

this panel was HILARIOUS

[@ZiggyGamma]

For people who love chaotic humor this episode is for them. I’m not a fan of this kind of humor but I liked they put out the same type of comedians on one episode.

[@aaronclewell1163]

The skill and freedom necessary to allow, restrain, and enjoy this chaotic panel is really rare and special. Taylor is doing something that no one else is doing. This feels like the best kind of British panel show.

[@franimal86]

Yesss Jessica Kirson!!

[@Twiloboy]

I freaked out when I saw her in the thumbnail!

This episode is a whole new level 🤣

Reaching Jerry Springer status and I am here for it 😂🔥 They must have been handing out Red Bulls to the audience, wish I was there!

[@ShadowAngel71]

The AI talk to the dead thing is literally an episode of Black Mirror.

[@redrick8900]

They do it in Hairy Potter and everyone thinks it's cool.

[@t3hjnz]

This episode is After Midnight starting to hit its stride / reach its potential. Chaos. Hilarious chaos. I haven't laughed so hard and so long in quite awhile. So, so, so good.

[@mars_mayday]

Eddie sounded SO much like Marty Glouberman from Big Mouth when he started yelling that I actually had to look up the casting for the voice actor (who is played by Richard Kind)

[@pseudotasuki]

Oh geez, they need to book him for this show.

[@madisonchausse4767]

Taylor’s fake laughter and tear blotting is really sending me

[@richpeltier9519]

For the record, all of my favorite stand ups, worship Eddie.

[@benjaminpikoikj7090]

Why? Genuinely

[@deementia6796]

He's considered a comedian's comedian .. meaning, only people in the industry find him funny. Dude's been around for EVER!

Or just wait for the playlist to come out and sort them for you. It doesn't take too long.

[@jaysonjackson3455]

How does Taylor not absolutely shit herself in front of these people? Jessica alone has such a presence in comedy.

[@shynye]

Okay so the vibes on this show are always immaculate. 😆 Also, Taylor's outfit 👀 ❤️

[@robmyers8670]

This is a veiled version of The Aristocrats.

[@pseudotasuki]

Considering how long it took for an incest joke to show up… not *thot* veiled.

Jesus Christ Eddie Pepitone in rare form. This show really brings out something hilarious in people...

Is it just me, or does watching this pannel feel like a creepy old windowless van pulled up to a playground, and Taylor is the lone unattended child on the swingset? These three seem like the main characters for a new season of American Horror Story: (I-Scream Truck). Run, Taylor. RUN.
