Ima Lookin' At J00!: Comedy4Cast

Review Based on episodes 1-10, and 49-103.

"Comedy4Cast: Comedy in four minutes or less"
That's their slogan right there.
Comedy4Cast is a short, 4-7 minute podcast in which the host (I think his name was Clinton or something) does a seemingly random skit before going into chat mode.

Content:
- The first four minutes are the "comedy".
- Usually, he does a random skit as himself. This can be anything from using time travel to edit his podcast to fighting against the evil known as the online signup interface.
- Sometimes, he plays other characters. One of them is an imbecile who . . . well . . .is imbecilic! Another is an average guy who speaks like a noble so everyone thinks he's rich and powerful. And another is someone who starts all his sentences with "basically".
- These skits rely too much on randomness and often fall flat on their faces. I mean, when over 80% of the skit makes no sense, it just ain't funny. Randomness is something that's best used at key moments like "The pythagorean theorem is a squared times b squared equals BALLS!" as opposed to "BALLS BALLS BALLS BALLS BALLS i like tea BALLS BALLS!" I really don't know where I got the balls from . . .
-The mid to new episodes have a little chat session with Clinton at the end. These mostly pertain to comedy4cast and himself in general.

Sound Quality:
- Earlier episodes have tolerable sound quality. Most certainly not amateurish.
- More recent episodes have nearly flawless sound quality.

Recommended Episodes:
1, 49, 50, 59, and 79

Overall:
1/5 - Though there are a few good episodes here and there, they're much too rare to subscribe to the podcast.
