    The last time they did it it was because the studio was under construction and the show was shockingly decent

    I guess people don't ask Endurance Run questions anymore so that's a plus.

    Yeah the ER questions were always the worst

    Haven't they listened to enough GB at this point to realize that the more they demand Persona 5 content, the less gets made

    I'm not anticipating Jeff to like P5 that much, since I think the Vinny Factor played a big part in his eventual enjoyment of 4

    Yeah this was actually a pretty alright call-in show. At one point a British person called in and asked if she could teach Jeff how to play mahjong

    What a run! They took apart the game and then finally did it. I agree it looked liked maybe it was doomed but they pulled it back.

    My jaw dropped when I read that, not because of the message, but because Jeff never posts anything political. Shows how bad things have gotten.

    When blue bombing was going, and vinny asks alex what he is doing that weekend "going to the march." "Yeah?" "Yeah. How about you" "Going to the march with the family". it felt like "were gonna make it known how we feel without talking about it." which they super rarely do.

    Not to push a narrative on people we see an hour a week, but you can tell for the last month or two the 4th wall on "lets just not talk about politics" is cracking hard. The ending of Revengence was another one of those.

    We're rapidly approaching the point where we can't afford to not be political.

    Like the whole gay Tomodachi Life thing, trying to be "not political" is a political stance as well, apparently.

    Status quo is always a political stance.

    And to the surprise of absolutely no one, Dan isn't going.
















    Because he only recently moved and just now got a new puppy so he has his hands full, why, what did you think I meant?

    I mean I'd like to think even Dan would realize how important this stuff is, but his stance in literally every other aspect of his life is 'it doesn't affect me so why should I care' , so I wouldn't be at all surprised if he didn't think this was a big deal. Like it's easy for me to imagine him just being like 'oh yeah that sucks, I hope it all works out' and leaving it at that. I would absolutely love to be wrong about that, of course.

  • HoukHouk Nipples The EchidnaRegistered User regular
    Well, consider me pleasantly surprised!

  • HardtargetHardtarget There Are Four Lights VancouverRegistered User regular
    Dan is actually pretty with it

    You just have to be willing to look at the man vs the character and to be fair he doesn't make it easy to differentiate

    He should ditch the heel persona. He can be plenty entertaining without it.

    I think his persona is how he overcomes his anxiety, so it's not as simple as him just dropping it.

    And Jeff is infinitely more entertaining to listen to when he's talking intelligently about the games industry and stuff like that, but he still trolls by being uber contrarian. It's a personality quirk.

    Dan went to the protest rather than watch the Royal Rumble.

    What is reality?

  • cooljammer00cooljammer00 Hey Small Christmas-Man!Registered User regular
    Well public transit is way better here, I guess.

    Wait, I just checked Dan's Twitter. No he didn't. He threw a Rumble party at a bar in Manhattan.

    I thought I saw him posting about being at the protests and getting chants going.

    I look back now and it was Dan Harmon posting something at almost the same time.

    Well now I feel foolish.

    Jeff's still my favorite.

    tbf Dan Harmon is one hell of a dude

    Kind of a huge alcoholic asshole, though.

    Let's just rank all the Dan's:

    Dan Amrich
    Dan Ryckert
    Dan Hibiki
    Dan Akroyd (in films)
    Dan Harmon
    Lieutenant Dan
    Dan Akroyd (as a crazy person)

    This is all purely based on science so far.

  • GONG-00GONG-00 Registered User regular
    Based on Dan Aykroyd, how does the Dan science work out if we split Dan Ryckert into heel persona and genuine Dan?

    Good question, my thoughts would probably put heel Dan above Dan Harmon but I'm open to suggestions.

    Let it be said that Danny Trachtenberg of Totally Rad Show fame was the first Internet Dan I can think of who had weird eating habits and didn't know how to do certain things adults should know how to do.

    Are we limiting this to just Dans, or should we include Danny Trejo and Daniel Day Lewis, thus skewing the rankings?

  • FuriousJodoFuriousJodo Seattle, WARegistered User regular
    I feel like the purest form of this list only counts those that go by Dan.

  • CormacCormac Registered User regular
    Danny O'Dwyer ranks pretty high up there for me.

  • TaramoorTaramoor Storyteller Registered User regular
    Then I think Dan Castalanetta, voice of so many Simpsons characters, belongs high on the list. The only Dan with a sound test.

  • lionheart_mlionheart_m Registered User regular
    What? Did someone take down the Dan soundboard?

    I'm not sure Dan Hibiki is getting the push he deserves
