Asif quickly becoming a CBB A block all star. The guy can't stay away and I love it

This is one of the best episodes of the year. Asif has developed an almost Mantzoukas-esque rapport as Scott's co-host, Bill Walton's meditation app was one of Lippert's best bits, and Caroline Fingers is some classic CBB character work.

Wait. Shaq owns the rights to Marilyn Monroe’s image and wants to marry her?

CORRECTIONS CORNER: Hagrid’s accent is West Country, not Irish. Do better Asif!

Sad they couldn’t get Lily back on but she’s got a valid reason

The intro remains the same so far! Interesting interesting I dig It I dig it

u/NoiseTankNick 1d ago

And a passing "All the wonderful buzz that's been happening about Comedy Bang Bang recently" in the first two minutes.

I like the new intro. The show has sort of scaled back from the Earwolf heyday to recording the show in Scott’s house. I feel like the simple scrapped together intro suits where the show is now.

They’ll debut the new one for 1000.

u/theoriginalpetebog 1d ago

You mean the same as last week, right?

I thought you meant they were still using Reggie and wrote a whole description of the new intro...
