2010 should have some pretty great stuff early on though, including Aziz Ansari's DVD and Paul F. Tompkins'.

I was watching Natasha Leggero there this weekend and thinking the exact same thing. I guess intimate was what he was looking for, and it's unavoidable there.

I think it's fine where it is.

[aenemaTron]

We do.

You haven't even said anything about it.

Phil doesn't speak for 'A Special Thing.' He barely knows what it is.

Calling Benson and Dana Gould's work 'disappointing' while referring to Big Jay Oakerson as 'A 21st Century Mark Twain' tells me all I need to know.

Also, it's about time someone took Dat Phan down a peg.

For anyone who cares, I think "The Top Part" is the best comedy album of 2009. Hands down. And I think "The Salt and Pepper Grill" is the best bit of 2009. It's up there with "Peanut Brittle," and "Black Angus Commercial" in the "Hey Jude of Comedy" category of amazingness in bits.

I don't have a list, but "Soak up the Night," "Thin Pig," "Freak Wharf," and "My Weakness is Strong" made me laugh almost as much, but for some reason, Mulaney's is the one that sticks with me. Although, my funniest individual moment on a comedy album is a tie between Braunger cumming as he yells, "I'm the Piano Man, Piano MAN!" and Glass going "He's fucking and I'm stirring."

I agree with every word of this.

My 11-year-old son wanted me to point out to you guys that it's "Salt and Pepper Diner," not Grill. Otherwise, he agrees too (which is why I read him John's post).

I hate.
