    90's are a great era. The weird hate it gets is mind boggling to me. Also Phantom Menace was great.

    I know Brad wanted to shut it down for being one of the most vulgar sequences on the Bombcast in years, but it was also pretty much the single best clip from the Bombcast this year.

    Couldn't agree more. I now have 2 specific podcasts bookmarked for one liners that actually made me laugh until I cried.

    It's probably for the best that Dan and Vinny are on opposite coasts, otherwise I suspect the Bombcast would go beyond what an Explicit tag could handle.

    I'm kind of confused as to why there's this contingent of people who think Dan's playing up his ignorance. He isn't. He's pretty much always super genuine.

    And Brad overreacted to that Bombcast quote. I'm surprised Jeff didn't laugh. Didn't realize it was a clever Face/Off joke, but I think I remember that line now.

    I agree, I thought it was just a good Face/Off joke and not a dirty joke, because I think this is the way Dan's brain works

    It's a dirty joke IN Face/Off, so quoting it is dirty even if you're ignorant to it's meaning.

    I was sort of shocked by how livid Brad seemed following that line considering he had just laughed at Jeff's "Koopalingus" joke so hard.

      @DanRyckert congrats on being a white dude

    Sums up my feelings on a lot of his bullshit perfectly.

    What does the tweet you embedded even mean?

    Dan's a white guy, so he doesn't have to experience a lot of terrible stuff that...pretty much everyone who isn't a white heterosexual guy experiences. That's what the tweet is (probably sarcastically) congratulating him on.

    It wasn't the Dan joke that got me. It was Geoff's take on Yoshi's name that caused me to leave my desk at and giggle in the restroom for five minutes.

    It was all Jeff's fault. His "Koopalingus" line is the hardest I've laughed at the Bombcast in a while.

    For real. I wonder if he realizes that blissful ignorance isn't an option for most people.

    Probably not. Because--you know--he's blissfully ignorant.

    @hammondoftexas: yeah to be honest I found Brad's reaction to it to be kind of weird. Jeff made a joke about oral sex literally seconds earlier. Them Dan does it, and all of a sudden it's too much. Theres nothing wrong with dirty jokes. Theres nothing sexist about them either, so I don't know why Brad assumed the internet would get on Dan's case. Weird response. Too much PC nonsense in media lately. If there's somewhere a ribald joke can be told, surely that place is the bombcast.

    I can hear Brad smiling through what he''s saying but its certainly a different tone of sarcasm from the days when Ryan/Jeff hosted the show. I'm pretty sure he has always mentioned internet stuff more than the other guys (sans maybe Patrick) and that is just part of who he is. It does seem like a wild 360 but Brad isn't exactly a stranger to making off the cuff remarks that come off as awkward.

    Let's not forget he put this out to the world just over a year ago:
