On this episode, we have guests Flan and Rich from The White Pants Society in to talk about our favorite black comedians. We also discuss what it takes for black comedians to break through and gain popularity with mainstream audiences. 

Definitely our most polarizing episode, but it was really fun for us to have frank racial discussions without fear of judgment. We also get super crass and silly in this one.

This week we have the most specific title. We focus on two lesser known kids parody shows from the early 2000s: TV Funhouse and Wonder Showzen. We also talk about Roseanne for a bit, and then we analyze Twitter jokes.

Danny Boy, Jephers, and special guest Mikey play the first ever (but defiintely not last) game of "Is it a hashtag?" where the contestants try to guess whether or not ridiculous hashtags actually exist. Possibly the greatest game show in the history of podcasts? Let us know what you think.

We have a very special guest today. Danny Boy's brother Mikey stops by to provide his musical expertise to the show. Danny Boy, Jephers, and Mikey analyze a variety of musicians, comedians, and comedy musicians including: Jonathan Coulter, They Might Be Giants, Zach Galifianakis, Sarah Silverman Lil Dicky, Adam Sandler, And many, many more!

Sometimes we go down strange, wonderful rabbit holes. We had our biggest laugh out loud moment to date.

Are women funny? Spoiler: Yes. Yes, they are. In this episode, we talk about some of our favorite female standup comedians (comediennes?): Ali Wong Wendy Liebman Amy Schumer Kathleen Madigan Maria Bamford Sarah Silverman

We analyze the the following classics: Laurel & Hardy - Busy Bodies, The Marx Brothers - Duck Soup, The Three Stooges - Disorder in the Court, Charlie Chaplin - Modern Times, Blondie Goes to College, and Abbott and Costello - Whose on First. Are they still funny?

We examined the following parts of Adam Sandler's career from the 90s: SNL Career They're All Gonna Laugh At You Billy Madison What the Hell Happened to Me? Happy Gilmore The Wedding Singer Was Adam Sandler funny in the 90s? Or was it just us as 13-year-olds laughing at fart jokes?

Dead Frogs is the podcast where we objectively analyze the subjective art of comedy (aka two unfunny guys talking about funny things until they aren't funny anymore).
