The latest Parsnips episode is an absolute belter!

Bob's gentle mocking of the house-telly guy ("little bit unusual, little bit different... but I like it!" In response to everything he is shown) makes me laugh like a mad thing.

No, it's like a child crayoning over a michelangelo.

It does call into question who writes the Hodgson bits though

It does though I'm assuming it's Andy as its his character. Don't like the idea of his 'material' mixing with Bob's.

Probably the end for Peter for a while, interesting to see if they comment on it.

Yeah, it feels like he's far more integrated now. Not into that.

Oh I reckon Peter's already written to him. *cue piano music* Awwright Bob...

Andy is right about Gordon Ramsey.

there, I said it.

God I love the Talksport adverts.

I can't believe Andy starts the new one doing the Mr Dawson song to Bob. How can you be so shameless? Imagine if Sid Little started doing Deputy Dog.

DrGreggles

Could have been awful, but I thought it was pretty good.
Seems he gets a hard time on this thread just for existing - on his own podcast.

gmoney

He gets a hard time for being shit.

EDIT: That isn't fair. I have said multiple times I think he's fine conversationally, and when he does bits in Bob's stuff (Mark Lawrenson stories, the waiter) but his own bits are consistently dreadful. Corbyn and Hodgeson are skip material. And his habit of trying to co-opt Bob's stuff is really grating.

Now THAT was shit.
Any Dawson contributions should be compared to that and they won't seem so bad.

The only good thing about it was Bob's enjoyment of it. That really shows the charm divide here - Bob laughing at a joke is better content than Andy's joke.

Quite.

Sometimes when Bob laughs at Andy I think 'Really? Bob, you're a comic genius - you laughed at THAT?!'

Twed

Bob is not as cynical as the regular CaBber. He likes recent Gervais.

I feel like that's part of why bob is so funny to so many people - the things he finds funny are sometimes totally not what you'd expect

Oh come on now, that was the joke: the put-upon sidekick retaliating against the star turn by giving him a taste of his own medicine. They even spelled that out during their chat after the song.

There was an episode a few months ago when they were discussing telly and After Life was mentioned as if they were going to talk about that next but they never did. I'd wondered if they'd edited it out or just never got round to it... Clearly I have nothing better to be thinking about.

I enjoyed Andy as Roy Hodgson calling Bob a 'wasteman' in the recent one.

The Top Flight Time Machine one was quite funny for a bit but turned to absolute shite, not heard the other one. To be fair, Andy is OK on Top Flight Time Machine, although he really should steer clear of doing voices.

I only know of Top Flight Time Machine but that's pretty good, although admittedly the other guy is the funnier one.
The recent/ongoing Keegan and Melchester deep dives have been excellent.

non capisco

I thought there was a lovely, especially warm atmosphere to the last one with Bob and Andy making each other laugh throughout. Loved Bob mispronouncing 'satirist' and Andy suggesting 'sitarist?'. Don't usually go a bundle on the Roy Hodgson bits but 'proroguing Warhammer' got me good.

Any time Andy tries to do characters its comedy death. One note, dirge.

The only, very rare exception is Slaughters which he nailed. Quite odd that every other character he does he's shite and only one he hit just right.
