Yeah, I understand the difference between a serious podcast on the topic of comedy and a comedy podcast where the host is trying to make jokes and the interviewee is trying to participate and failing.
This guy sounded like a space alien only academically familiar with earth-comedy.
I think we are on two slightly different conversations then. I was replying to the general idea that being awkward in interviews is a sign of a terrible comic. I wasn't referring specifically to Kyle Cease or that particular podcast. He probably did come off like an alien.

I should let go, but it was just weirdly disturbing and hard to forget.
If that munch can have a podcast, I definitely can.
TIME TO FIRE UP THE COMEDY ENGINES!!!
You listen to WTF? Marc's interviewed tons of comedians that he barely knows, and they've all been able to joke around with him without sounding like they have no concept of humor.
To be fair, it sounded like Dane Cook was expecting Marc to start attacking him the whole time. He might have been able to be funny if he wasn't being extremely defensive. I'd even go to far as to say that the defensiveness was almost sorta justified!
It was a while ago, but early on Dane made a joke about being knocked into West Side Story (?) and made me laugh.
Obviously it stuck in my mind.
Exactly. CARLOS MENCIA. That's who Kyle Cease has something in common with.

Is it really possible that NO ONE was a fan of Kyle Cease? Is it possible that there were people who thought he was really good (people on ast i mean), and then once all the bootcamp shit started they kinda had to decide he isn't good? Oh and did Dore (?) ever do a podcast reporting back after he told Cease he'd attend?
I still enjoy Kyle Cease's stand-up! I just think this whole boot-camp nonsense is manipulative, exploitative bullshit... so obviously I think less of him now.
OK, Thnk-you ASR. Nice to hear someone else put it that way.
And just to further my point, he's coming to my university soon and I'm sure I'll go and see him. Being part of my school's comedy club, I'll probably get to meet him afterward and allow myself to judge once and for all my opinions on him.
I was pretty unaware of Cease until this whole debacle and have thus not been tempted to check his standup out, which I suppose is counterintuitive all around. Any favorite bits you might want to point me toward? I'd like to amend my ignorance if at all possible.
I never thought he was funny so it always seemed like whoever would want to take that class is a chump and already had a lame perception of reality.
love, snob
Hey man, even the tweetings of Kyle Cease want the follow up to air. Actually, I'd probably skip the follow up episode, as I'm kinda maxed out on this topic, but I still want it to come out for some reason.
looks like someone reuploaded the boot camp trailer publicly

I don't know if this was posted or if anyone cares.
This seems interesting. Kyle talking for close to Thirty minutes about comedy buttcamp.

And a parody someone did of that interview.
