Kill Tony

[calsnowskier]

Yeah me too. Except I think I found it about 6 or 7 years ago (I guess that makes me a hipster) so I've done the full watch a couple times. But the good thing is with as many episodes as there are I can still watch the old ones and not see the punchlines coming and also pick up new tidbits. Now when I'm watching an old episode and hear a good joke I like to search the comic and see how their career is going. A lot of them have quit or haven't done much but there are quite a few who have gotten bigger and ended up back on the show as guests. I remember Brian Simpson had a great set as a bucket pull and I think Jeff Garland offered him a spot opening for him or something. Fast forward to now and he's been on a few things on Netflix and been back to Kill Tony as a guest.

Watching Tony treat Brian Simpson like some schlub off the street was wild.

Also seeing Drew Lynch as a bucket pull in the EARLY days was weird. Lynch was already a known quantity at that time, but I believe it was pretty recent after his accident, so he was still struggling with the stutter at that point.

There's also a few Hans Kim sets sprinkled in the Comedy Store episodes.

Few = 1

and it was upstairs. Not even on the main stage.

but yes. And Tony fucked up his name too. That was hillarious.

Are you sure it was just one? I could swear I saw him multiple times. Or maybe I'm just thinking of times when he was on in Austin before he became a regular.

He was called a couple times in Austin. But only once at the Store.

I don’t remember the exact episode, but it was within a couple weeks (Before? After?) of David’s first pull.

I guess I stand corrected. I'll catch him in my next run through the series. I just watched episode 1 last night.

Even if you do 2 episodes a day at this point, a full watch would take almost a year. Not sure I would be able to do it AGAIN.

That's fine, I don't care if it took a year or two or even longer. I'm not looking at it like a chore or a goal or anything. It is just my go to background noise when I'm doing mundane work on the computer or even around the house. I also sometimes listen to them in podcast form in the car. So I figure why not just listen to them in order.

To summarize, I ain't nevah gonna stop watching Kill Tony episodes!

He has been posting his “countdowns” for years. He is not well, but they almost certainly have a restraining order on him at this point, so I think it is just a lot of smoke now.

That guy deserved a GT soooo much more than Jack Shaw.

Which one, the guy with the buckees shirt?

The guy who clearly has CP, but doesn’t know it.

You really did not like jack shaw. I thought he was worth the GT. But I will admit I am bias, I am very partial to Jewish humour.

He was a mix of Jewish humour and disabled humour. Pretty flawless combination if you ask me.

I know it LOOKS like I didn’t like Jack, but that isn’t the case. I just think it was a reach to give him a GT.

I know I don’t appreciate what a GT means. But I’ve watched enough episodes to tell you he was one of the best I’ve seen so far. Including most regulars and GT revisits I’ve seen.

So imo he did deserve it. But as you know comedy is subjective. Maybe even though you liked him, you did not see what I did.

Thinking back on that episode…

Hinchcliff’s Notes.

Holy shit, what a horrible name.

And that guest they had that episode (forget his name) made a few other guest spots. I HATED that MFer. He was everything that is wrong with LA. He is/was EXACTLY what Punky ended up being.

Totally fair. For example, I can’t stand Casey. I think he is just a hack with zero skill and zero humor. Many people disagree with me. And that is human.

Yea, I don’t like Casey either. But I think I liked him in one I saw recently. Like. One out of 5 times. 20%.

We will see if jack shaw ever comes back, whether he can be good.

Sometimes people are funny because they are just so unexpected. Not sure if jack shaw can be the next Josh blue.

Heath is a great example of a one-trick pony that hasn’t panned out (yet).

He has one EPIC joke. And that ONE joke got him a GT. Now, unfortunately, he is a KT joke (and not in a good way).
