>>223352593that was comedy central's entire thing at the time. their next animated show, south park, was a fucking whirlwind of guest appearances in the early seasons
>>223352593It's a more creative format than the vast majority of podcasts.
for me it was stanley
>>223352664not really comedians though. It was like the actress from species, george clooney barking as a gay dog, chef aid with all the musicians and jennifer aniston

Mitch hedberg was a bittersweet find after years of having g not heard new stuff from him. I dont know what podcast you guys listen to but entertaining ones ensnare and transfixed you into a cool hang with some friends. 2 best f r iends has the shotstorm of scariness every October and its chatting while playing scary games.

>>223352593The actor who played Dr. Katz was a stand-up comedian using a gossamer thin facade of animation to showcase current stand-up talent since back then Comedy Central was much more about stand-up comedy shows when they weren't showing new kids in the hall, a Canadian skit show, because back then in the early days of cable they were just filling the hours with cheap Canadian programming. Nickelodeon especially was known for that.
i always thought Dr Katz and The Critic were the same character played by Jon Lovitz
“I’m going to find Bully. This is going to become the greatest kid’s film ever. Grown man has his father throw out his favorite beloved toy Bully and then he has to search through the city fighting people figuring out where Bully has been taken…” “Oh Ben I think you’re taking this a little too seriously”. “Tell Bully that. Oh wait you can’t because he’s being crushed underneath garbage right now probably… oh God, Bully…”
