Dead Frogs

This week we discuss one of our favorite shows, Trailer Park Boys, and we were lucky enough to interview Bernard Robichaud aka Cyrus! He is a great actor and a very nice guy.

Be sure to follow his work!

This week, we had a topic in mind, but we decided just to have a random conversation. We talk life, go in depth about our feelings on Louis C.K., spend way too much time talking about pornography, and random other stuff as well. It was nice to just have a casual talk. Let us know what you think about this as opposed to our themed episodes. We have some ideas for the future, but we're still figuring it out.

This week we talk about the history of alternative comedy with comedian Beth Lapides. Her UnCabaret was instrumental in the LA Alternative Comedy movement of the nineties, and it's still going strong today! This year, the UnCabaret celebrates its 25th anniversary. The lineup looks amazing!

You know what? We're tired of all this traditionally funny stuff. It's time to go a little high brow and listen to the jazz of comedy. Comedy for intellectuals like us. And you know that we are intellectuals because we tell you we are intellectuals, so there's no mistaking it. We talk about some intellectual comedy and then juxtapose it with disgusting comedy!

We left off our Drawn Together analysis on a cliffhanger, which is fortunate for you, because Drawn Together is awesome. However, it's unfortunate for our titling conventions, as we have part 2, part 2... It kind of makes sense. Just listen to it.

This episode is very exciting! We have seasoned stand-up comedian Michael Paul on to discuss working the crowd. We were so lucky to pick his brain for an hour and a half. Anyone with interest in the world of comedy should definitely give this episode a listen. Also be sure to follow Michael Paul on social media:

In this episode, we start looking at cartoons that are tailored to adults. One of the most important adult cartoons in our formative comedic years was Drawn Together, which was a parody of a Real World style reality show. Rather than bringing random douche bags together, this show brought animated characters from different cartoon worlds together. This cartoon was extremely offensive, subversive, and very important. If you haven't seen Drawn Together, this is a great introduction to the show. If you have seen Drawn Together, listen and find out if you agree with our opinions!

We are joined by our childhood friend, Dustin, to discuss the Seinfeld TV series. Dustin has never been a Seinfeld fan. Danny Boy loves Seinfeld, Jeff is neutral, and Dustin has never liked Seinfeld. Have any of our opinions changed after deeper analysis? A great episode for Seinfeld fans. Also great if you haven't watched Seinfeld but you were curious about it.

Do you enjoy watching prank videos? Do you have a soul? We explore the morality of pranks and whether or not prank videos should actually be considered comedy. If you enjoy pranks or if pranks make you cringe, this episode is definitely for you. Let us know on Twitter (@Dead_Frogs) if your opinion on pranks changed after listening to our podcast!

In this epsiode, we talk about absurd comedy with the most absurd guys we know! Bradley D. Tony B., and Jeremy from the ABCD-Bagz! This episode exemplifies our main goal: Serious analysis mixed with insane comedy. We definitely go off the rails in this one. If you're a fan of the ridiculous, silly, surreal, and absurd, give this episode a listen. You'll learn about comedy, and you'll laugh yourself into tears.
