A top 10 funny podcast without Bill Burr in there. Good to know it's a shitty list.
It's lightyears above HDTGM.

I like most of the list, but so many of the Earwolf podcasts are so hit and miss for me that I go through spurts of listening to them. I'll be in the mood for them and listen to them non-stop for about a month, but then I won't listen to them for the rest of the year.
Also as far as the Macelroy bros go The Adventure Zone >>>> MBMBAM
Its the reason I love Harmontown. The guy live tweeted his divorce, there is just nothing too far for him. My only complaint lately is that he seems to be trying to do interviews more and more lately. Not sure if its because of that pilot he was working on where he interviewed people as dead historical figures or what, but there is just too many interviews and not enough story/talk time anymore.

Oh man MBMBAM is my go to comedy podcast.
That mixture of the madness of Yahoo Answers with the Brothers hilarious sense of humor. Comedy gold.

It's just easy to forget with so few episodes and going so long in between them.

Happy to see the love for Max Fun on that list. Throwing Shade has become one of the highlights of my week, and SPY and MBMBAM are always solid.

No love for Carolla, the king.
+1
maybe if bry stops getting worked up about celebrities or worked up about news stories

Because his show hasn't been funny in years

You two guys know what's up.
Highlight of all my podcast listening when a new Dollop lands. Perfect mix of WTF, Laughs and sometimes some actual sadness (Good lord that Nim the chimp episode)
It went really downhill after it became Bryan being outraged at outrage culture every week. Just chill the fuck out, dude - I came here for yucks, not for you to be bashing a new group of people every week in the most humourless way possible.

I like HDTGM but a lot of it is hit or miss.

I don't get the love for Comedy Bang Bang. I don't think Aukerman is that funny and it's a bunch of hit or miss improv skits. It pretty much depends on who is on.
Smodcast is pretty obviously supposed to be a comedy poscast. So is Hollywood Babble-On.

Weak list, no Crabfeast.
WTF is good, but it's not funny.
One of the funniest podcast episodes I've listened to this year is You Made It Weird with Josh Ruben. It was technically a re-release but it was the first time I heard it. His Jeff Bridges impression is hilarious.

i agree tho. i haven't listened in a while for other reasons but it hasn't gotten any better?

Yeah pretty much, when half the pods length were spent slinging trailmix&underwear then you get Bri raging over some Kardashian tweet... Yeah stopped listening well over a year ago.
8 years ago
One thing I picked up on is when bryan talks about something thats "funny" in the news, he always says "i didnt even think it was funny" or "i didnt even get it". Yes you did, youre just pissed someone else is funny and getting attention
hold on, the podcasts list is still just for 2015.
the lede says it's part of a series of year end lists, the capsules reference material specific to this year in their praise (the harmontown one talks about Harmon's divorce, the Throwing Shade and HH ones specifically talk about how they were good this year). the "of 2015" at the end applies to both full programs and episodes.
I think it's a fine end of year list and there are plenty of shows I love on it but yeah, if this were a top comedy podcasts list of all time it'd be horseshit, really.
it's not for you

I don't get the Comedy Bang Bang hype. I listened to a few eps a couple of years ago and found them to be devoid of humor. Maybe things have changed, but the show was being hyped like it is now back then so maybe they haven't.

Relistening now, still makes me laugh super hard. Photography!

SPY and MBMBAM are both really good. Been listening to them for years.
Not sure why they picked the Totino's episode for MBMBAM, though. I mean... they do that work, but it's an hour long commercial. Kind of runs out of steam about 15 minutes in.

Same. Just got the Christmas pod package. Shame about this year's being light on actual Christmas content, but the promise from Walt that next year is going to be stuffed has me excited.
They found dinosaurs with anthropology man!
I gave it another listen today also. So damn good lol.

I wanted to post another recommendation for We Hate Movies.
I absolutely love it. Not only to they "hate" on movies in a comedic fashion, but they do it in a way that's great for movie lovers, with references and bad impersonations. Some jokes can obviously be a little hit and miss, but the chemistry of the hosts is just wonderful and makes it a pure joy to listen to. Definitely my favorite podcast, next to 99% Invisible.
Some of my favorite episodes are Mrs. Doubtfire, The Butterfly Effect, Mortal Kombat and Face/Off.
Here's the full list of episodes with a lot more gems in it:
http://www.whmpodcast.com/p/episodes.html
(e: it's actually not the full list. You can find the rest on the feed or the front page. no idea why they're not updating the episodes list)
The first 100 episodes can only be accessed from their website, for some reason. It's really annoying and confused me a lot at the beginning as well.

It's pretty much the reason why I barely listened to any of the earlier episodes, even though I'd love to (MIB 2 and Die Another Day is in there).

Jason Mantzoukas is the best reason to listen to HDTGM, although June is great, too. I'm just not a fan of Paul Scheer and he has the WORST ad reads.
Hollywood Handbook is the best comedy podcast, period. I love a lot of comedy podcasts and hold many near and dear, even at their weakest, but HH stands tall above all else.
If you dont get it, it's ok. You'll never know true joy, but you can't miss what you haven't had.
Oh, also gonna say Andy Daly Podcast Pilot Project is amazing-gah. Miniseries, sadly.
