Sour Daddy t-shirts, please.

ETA: You know what? I don't need to sit around and clamor for someone to make something for me if I can actually help get it done.

The amount of time I spend searching for the crappiest possible laugh track audio...

"Fucking gold" is an understatement. This is up there with one of the best. It's got everything. Accents, tedium, stupidity, it's everything you could ask of a reddit episode.

I used to have a roommate named Charles, he always did the dishes!

Everytime it was mentioned I just couldn't stop thinking of this guy. 
But, like, with a frown.

I keep reading the title of this episode in Ian McKellan's voice.

I think the thing that stuck out to me about a lot of these stories, and probably a major contributor to Redditors' general inability to tell a good story, was the complete inability of any of the posters to distinguish between the severity of their individual grievances. The most obvious instance was probably the "D&D Ruined my Life" guy, but I think the most alarming was the first one Adam read: The majority of it featured the original poster feeling guilty about finding her roommate overbearing, being annoyed that he sometimes uses her stuff, and generally presenting the situation like a general conflict between him being more extroverted than she's used to. Then in the middle she casually mentions that he frequently gets drunk and gets creepily over-familiar and tries to rub her feet, but gives this detail the same gravitas as him using her toothpaste and immediately moves along to other, more bmonster cock concerns.

One of those points is way more alarming and creepy than the others, and I don't feel like the original poster realizes that and it concerns me...

A former friend of mine used to call up dudes on Craigslist to clean his house naked, but he always complained they didn't do a very good job. I hope the Fetlife sissy maids were more conscientious!

On one hand, that dude was 100% a creep, and the writer was easily the most sympathetic OP in the episode. On the other hand, walking by someone who's eating and asking them if they like it is a completely fantastic Weird Asshole Power Move, to the degree that I perversely respect it.

As I was listening to that I was thinking it literally sounded like a left handed radio bit.

I listened to this while washing dishes and started cackling so hard that I had to step back, almost doubling over. Like three times. So thank you for making yesterday afternoon magical.

So good. The serial masturbator and the goat blood shaming bit had me belly laughing in the cafeteria at work. Left me wanting more.

Minion's Wake and Bullysses was a weird and confusing thing I understood very little of, and I feel like it's a thing written by a M.A. english lit student in an attempt to seem like a good writer like all those video game poems

This episode is so good. The "christian college" story made me completely lose my shit laughing.

Honestly makes me wonder how much these people can take.

i think this sentiment has already been expressed, but holy shit this episode is so good



not to single anyone out, but Adam's "Charles, I am going to the Opera now" bit, goddamn

can I just say that the nerdlinger going to beethoven's 3rd symphony "eroica" is funny to me because the second movement has been used for funerals and stuff, which is when Charles lost interest

There are a lot of good lines in this episode, but I was excessively amused by Lemon's little "I'm bored of myself" during one of his readings, because I often wonder how these interminable Reddit OPs don't get bored of themselves halfway through these posts.

gotta admit, I'd probably watch the first few episodes of "Drac and the Mean Girls"

From reading a shitload of r/relationships, a lot of people* on reddit seem to have not been raised with a sense of appropriate boundaries, and will reach alarming levels of "well, I don't like this, but I don't want to rock the boat," up to and including behavior that, in a movie, would have you shouting "GET OUT OF THE HOUSE HE IS GOING TO MURDER YOU!"

*Particularly women, but plenty of men as well
