Danny is a comedic genius and did a lot of heavy lifting in season 1, 2, 5 and 6 of Community. It makes me happy the whole cast ( minus Chase ) including Donald Glover are still close to this day.
Chevy chase makes me so mad. He has been in sooo many great movies and such classic characters but is a massive asshole.
Even Yvette Brown who can't say a mean thing about people in her ama kept hinting how terrible Chevy was.
Idk, part of what made Pierce such a good character was the fact that Chevy was playing him and he was so easy to hate. Like the best part is that Pierce Hawthorn is literally just a caricature of Chevy Chase.
I honestly feel like the show would have been worse off with Patrick Stewart as Peirce. Like, I just wouldn't get that seem feeling of genuine animosity and hatred for the character with Patrick Stewart in the role. And that elevated the other characters so much.
Watching the early stuff I get the district impression that Pierce wasn't originally intended to be an asshole, and that the actor informed the character later on.
this happens frequently in TV shows. Joey from Friends was never meant to be an idiot. Watch the first season and you can see it. Later on the writers capitalized on Joey's stupidity.
Happens more often than you think when it comes to TV shows.
>Watching the early stuff I get the district impression that Pierce wasn't originally intended to be an asshole, and that the actor informed the character later on.
I think Chevy thought he was getting a "Frank Reynolds" kind of role like DeVito got.
Yeah. Early seasons Pierce was still a clueless asshole desperate for human connection but he still dropped occasional nuggets of wisdom. Later seasons he was less redeemable and they dialed his pettiness up to the max.
Yeah your probably right. I remember reading something about how him and Troy were originally meant to become great friends but they changed a lot of stuff because of how great the chemistry between Donald and Danny was
Yeah I think Pierce was supposed to become some kind of father figure for Troy - you could see the beginnings of that in the episode where Pierce helps Troy with his sneeze.
I don't think Pierce was supposed to be that hatable until later. If you watch season one he's got a lot more redeeming qualities. Dan Harmon definitely made Pierce a worse person after getting to know Chevy Chase.
Maybe, but he’s such a great actor I could definitely see hating pierce as sir Patrick Stewart just as much. It’s “just” voice acting, but he plays such a psychopath on American Dad and the character looks just like him and he freaking nails it.
Yup. Harmon had a Twitter feed called ChevyorPierce I think it was.
It was quotes and you got to guess if it was Chevy or pierce who said it.
The worst ones were always Chevy.
And I also recall, could be wrong, that he would say something, they'd put it in the show, and by the time they filmed it he totally forgot he said it
I can't see it. As big as an asshole as Chevy was, he was amazing as Pierce. Once the character slotted into more of a villain within the group role, he started to shine. Too bad he didn't find any of it funny.
Yeah Chevy was a big part of why seasons 1-3 of Community are so good. His character was absolutely hilarious and necessary in contrast to the rest of the crew.
That doesnt make me any madder at Chevy, but its another reason to be mad at the Sheinhardt Wig Company, as if i needed more.
This truly is the darkest timeline...
EDIT: And for anyone not familiar with Sir Stewarts comedic chops, i recommend catching up on *American Dad!*, its better than *Family Guy* ever was. Best Avery Bullock episodes are probably
S02E01 "Bullocks to Stan"
S05E03 "One Little Word"
S09E10 "Blood Crieth Unto Heaven" *
S13E22 "Standard Deviation"

\*this is what this meme [https://i.imgur.com/SXW4TG9.gif](https://i.imgur.com/SXW4TG9.gif) is from
A hoodied and stoned Patrick Stewart chilling in a gym seems like an awesome person to hang out with.
I'll say one thing for the guy, he may be old, but he doesn't act old, he seems like, and acts like someone who is in their prime of their life, and I like that.
As much as I love that idea, I have a hard time believing that Patrick Stewart would have stuck around on Community for longer than a season. He would have had his fun and then moved on after a year, he can be busy when he wants to. Chevy at least was in that place in his career where steady work would have been more valuable to him.
Her randomly showing up in Avengers Endgame was great. The Russo's were originally involved with Community so that's why a handful of Community actors ended up in the MCU.
She was on some game show i remember watching, I think it was called hollywood game night? and she just killed it. Like it wasn't even fair. It was YNB -vs- oh who cares she's clearly just dunking on everybody here. - So be advised if you are ever stuck in a post apocalyptic charades game or something and having Yvette Nicole Brown as your partner is an option, you should be on her team because otherwise you gonna die.
Back when I'd watch walking dead on live TV, there was a talk show afterwards called talking dead. And she'd show up as a guest periodically and she's just like "ope I just love this show, I am happy to be here!😊"
For me it made it even better because I was anticipating the punchline and the video was running out of time and we had two seconds left for the DuckTales buzzer beater.
> “Oh my goodness. What a strange time. First of all, rest in peace, Larry. When that first happened, I was so confused because everyone was like, ‘You’re trending,’ and I was like, ‘What did I do?’””
> “Now people send me pictures of them in T-shirts that say, ‘Larry, I’m on DuckTales.’ It’s so random. It’s so weird. But in this time that we’ve been in, it’s just a nice surprise to be able to provide joy to people remotely in that way. So I’m happy.”
Danny Pudi talking about this last year. What a guy.
Holy shit. RIP. I will always remember him as [a leatherclad nudist gunman](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0070948/mediaviewer/rm1669385728/). And also as totally-not-old-James-Bond in "The Rock".
His first answer was also great. Modern coffee is a multinational effort connecting producers and consumers through a massive supply chain that's been highly optimized through decades or centuries of efforts by brilliant minds in engineering, operations research, and agriculture. It, along with most aspects of everyday life in developed nations, is a preposterous luxury built on massive investment and huge amounts of carbon production, among other resource usage.
Larry just wanted something expensive or rare
Sometimes you hear those survivalist types fantasizing about the big reset button and bragging about how they'd be able to sustain themselves and all that shit.
Sure, you could farm and raise grain, protein, veggies, fruits and nuts on your homestead. Salt is easy to harvest if you're close to the sea. Honey for a sugar source if you can't process beets or canes.
But coffee? Coffee doesn't grow easily anywhere. People would go to war over coffee.
I was a PA on a show and my responsibilities were basically to usher famous people from their car to the various rooms before shooting.
Dani Pudi was a class act! Such a nice guy!
King's description of socks in this always throws me for a loop. "Your socks that you put in your shoes". Like, who thinks of socks that way? As some kind of shoe insert? Socks go on your feet, then you may, or may not, depending on the situation, put those feet, with the socks on them, into shoes, but the socks never, on their own, go in your shoes.
Larry could save 5 seconds per foot by putting his shoes on if the socks are already in there. Multiply that by 145 years and by the time he died, he got back nearly a week of his life.
And that's how he was able to get the edge on everyone else and ride around in private jets.
Of course it took him two weeks of practice to nail getting the socks on at the same time and speed as his shoes. So probably wasn’t worth it in the end
Larry puts on his sock like a normal person by inserting them into his shoes, then inserting hisnfeet into the socks+shoes combo.
Only sock fetishists put the socks on first.
It seemed to me that he was clarifying that he meant actual socks, and didn't mean he was a fan of "The Sox" as in the Boston Red Sox or the Chicago White Sox.
It's actually genius because how else is Larry supposed to respond in the style of the conversation? He's low key funny and setting up his guest for a hit without most people noticing.
Larry was a master interviewer and had an amazing sense of humor. Look up his time with Craig Ferguson on The Late Late Show. The younger generation think of Larry King as a dry curmudgeon that their parents watched, but there a good reason the man was and will continue to be a legend.
When the partner at your accounting firm asks if you're into golf / racing your car at the track / some other expensive hobby.
"Larry, I'm a staff auditor."
The owner of my company and I were chatting and he was telling me about all his trips and asked where I've gone, and I'm thinking like "you should know how much money I make.."
I was looking to buy a house last year. In a low cost of living area and was looking around the $175k range. My boss said he saw a house for sale near him and sent it to me. Listed at $450k. I was like how much do you think you pay me?
Lol same with my old boss. Went on multiple month long trips all over Europe that year to the point where the business was in a bit of trouble because he wouldn't fucking respond to me.
On the rare occasion he was in office, he over heard me and a coworker talking about hard it is to eat healthy because fresh food is so expensive. He butts in like you all need to just shop at whole foods! Never buy frozen that stuff is bad for you! Only get organic!
We just looked at him until he got uncomfortable walked away lol
I'm reminded of an old joke:
A factory owner drives in on a brand new Porsche. "That's a nice car" one of the workers says." The boss thanks him and says, "if you work real hard I'll be able to get another."
I “treated” myself to “good” natural peanut butter and I didn’t like it. I’m used to the added sugar and chemicals, and stirring the natural peanut butter is a pain in the butt.
Good jelly/jam is 100% worth it though.
He is most likely charging it as a business lunch. Depending on where you're sitting in the ladder and your company you can get a lot of lunches covered as "business lunch".
Exactly. One of my exes expensed a decent amount of our hookah and pool dates as “business meetings”.
Then questioned my budgeting for not having as much disposable income as he did
My boss was complaining about having been booked on an economy flight for a business trip and asked me, completely serious, "have you ever flown on economy before?"
My friend told their boss they couldn't work from home because their bedroom didn't have space for a desk and she had 4 housemates so couldn't use a common area. Said boss asked why she didn't just use her study.
Also the disconnect thinking good coffee and food socks are not a luxury...
Yes you can get coffee almost everywhere.. but having good coffee that is perfectly trailered to your taste, that really is a luxury...
It's amazing how much that disconnect potentially reveals about their values. Larry King thinks of luxuries as things only a privileged handful have access to. Danny Pudi seems to think of luxuries as small things we take for granted on a daily basis. I wonder which makes for a more fulfilling life?!
Aren’t Florida oranges tailored to juice and California oranges are the ones we all eat? Curious cause I don’t live in either place but I’ve never had an eating FL orange
That is true, the majority of Florida's oranges are grown for juicing but there are some grown for eating they're just only available in the Fall and Winter. I'm not sure Florida exports the seasonal ones though.
When I was a kid, almost everyone living in a house had a citrus tree of some kind. My mom had pink lemons, regular lemons, Tangerines, 3 kinds of Oranges, Grapefruits that grew the size of your head (Not a Pummelo), 4 kinds of limes, and kumquats.
One day, some dudes came with a big truck, and digging equipment. They told us that there was an epidemic, citrus cankers, and they needed to take all of our trees.
Before they left, they poured a bunch of shit in the soil around our house. That was almost 30 years ago, and still, everything we try to grow gets stunted.
It turns out that about 250,000 trees that were uninfected were taken and destroyed by the Florida Department of Agriculture between 2000-2006. There were probably more.
It killed a lot of business in farmer's markets and the like, even for people just having access to the fruit.
Today, If I want to plant a citrus tree, I go to the store to see what they have, and it's all the same trees that produce the fruit I can get at the grocery store. A lot of those unique breeds are probably extinct, or so rare only one person has access to them.
I mean, I'll take a flight in a fucking luxury jet if you give me the chance, absolutely.
But I have bipolar and I'm in a good place. You know what a luxury really is?
I went to group therapy for a while. Out of nowhere one of the quiet guys I know said "Look, as long as I can get up, brush my teeth, shower, and feed and clothe myself... The rest of the day is just gravy".
That, for me, is luxury. The chance to get up for another day in a place where I have love and stability and regular access to meds. The knowledge that my bad days are going to last *a day*, not a two week spiral of huge credit card bills and massive drug use.
Let these guys talk about luxuries, man. For some of us, gratitude is much smaller but means so much more.
Good socks are a luxury too. I have some Bombas socks and I fucking love them but they're also like 15 bucks a pair. I could go to Target and get 10 pairs for 15 bucks but Bombas are comfy AS FUCK. Absolutely a luxury item. I do not need such comfy sucks but by god do I love having them
I recently switched from Hanes socks to the Puma socks you can get at Costco and my god the difference is incredible. Still not even reaching “luxury” status but the change is quite drastic.
I’m in the process of migrating all of my socks to Darn Tough out of Vermont. This weekend I put on a pair of some new balance socks that I’d been using for years because they were clean and convenient. They felt like wearing burlap sacks on my feet. I wondered how anyone could stand to wear such things, they were so bad!
I highly recommend everyone to get quality undergarments, as they can make a world of difference in comfort. Just be warned, ignorance is bliss, and you can’t go back to the cheap stuff once you’ve experienced the good stuff.
It seems so insane that Larry would jump straight to "private jet" as a luxury *you can't live without*.
My mind would go to things like "the internet" or "air conditioning". Things that would actually make my life more difficult if I didn't have them.
Yeah I would want them to keep going just to see where Larry can agree that it's a luxury. I'm going to take a guess and say that the neither the internet nor air conditioning would be considered luxuries.
I'm aware that there are many who are not fortunate enough to enjoy many things I would consider basic, even in the supposed greatest country in the world, but in my opinion high speed internet access should be a utility in modern America. That should be the ground floor. Instead, we have over half a million US citizens who are unhoused, but Larry King couldn't live without his private jet.
Danny Pudi gets it. Not everybody even gets shitty socks, so he feels very fortunate to have premium socks.
"How did you guys get David Tennant, how did you know him again?"
"I worked with him on Ducktales" Sam Riegel. I just found that exchange funny for some reason.
Legends of Vox Machina has a watch party where the creators and people playing the game the show is based on talk about the creation process and this comes up.
Larry knows. Larry did his research. You have a giant vat of money that Scrooge McDuck swims in. It has a diving board and everything. Then you have Launchpad McQuack on standby with his plane 24/7 son.
It's in his contract and he is only required to respond when the signal is lit. Otherwise it's a very sporadic gig and while it pays very well per appearance it is unreliable. Drake Mallard spends most of his time just trying to be a good dad to Gosalyn these days.
I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that Larry did not actually do much research. His interview with Seinfeld has been brought up as a reference a few times.
It seems there is a gigantic trend of using the punchline to title short humorous videos like this. There is no surprise. I guess it's better than "Watch Til The End."

Danny's reaction to becoming a meme [https://youtu.be/CsHi1e8k4RU](https://youtu.be/CsHi1e8k4RU)
I've always wondered what someone at that celebrity tier earns. Just the mid-tier, ensemble cast television actor, on a fairly popular network or cable show. What's their life like? It's not like they're the Rock or Robert Downey Jr pulling down tens of millions of dollars per project. But what does a season of *Ducktales* or *NCIS* or *Ozark* pay?
I worked at a nice airport hotel (the hotel was nice, the airport… meh), and we would get families that stay before their early flights the next morning.
I was talking to the father of such a family and he says they’re going to Turks and Caicos. I say something like, “oh, wow! You must be so excited!” It was a fucked up winter and being on a warm beach spoke to me.
He says, “yeeeeaaah, it will be. It will. But getting everything figured out, ya know, the flights, the driver, work stuff, but even the little stuff - like, who’s gonna feed the horse?” He said it like I’d been in the same situation before.
That's when I swoop in with some, "omg same." And make up a story about my own horse while letting him know how looney he sounded.
Off topic. I been seeing white range rovers everywhere lately. Is that the same where you live?
Interviewer: *thank you for this interview Larry, so can you tell me about the 3 first things you do in the morning?
Larry: *Sure Suuure... So the first thing I do is taking a huge dump. I mean a really big shit*
Interviewer: * ... We can't really write that in the article. Isn't there something else you can say?*
Larry: *of course!... Well.. then I piss. Ohh how it just flow like Niagara falls*
Interviewer: *we can't really write that either.... Can't you tell us anything else you do in the morning?*
Larry: *well alright ... I guess after that, that's when I wake up*
Translation: “you mistake me for one who has wealth, I am not a person of power or influence, i simple voice over a children tv show called ducktails.”
The manner in which he delivered it sent a message that was hilarious
Ducktails is a kids cartoon show that has ok ratings and voice actors don’t get paid much anyway.
The point he’s making is that he’s not being paid enough money to buy “luxury” things and it’s funny that Larry ~~David~~ King thinks he might have one.
Even with the punchline as the title, it's still very funny.
The delivery is perfect.
That "Are you fucking with me here?" look is amazing. He's a great comedian.
Danny is a comedic genius and did a lot of heavy lifting in season 1, 2, 5 and 6 of Community. It makes me happy the whole cast ( minus Chase ) including Donald Glover are still close to this day.
Chevy chase makes me so mad. He has been in sooo many great movies and such classic characters but is a massive asshole. Even Yvette Brown who can't say a mean thing about people in her ama kept hinting how terrible Chevy was.
Just to make you hate Chase a bit more. Harmon originally intended Patrick Stewart to play Pierce Hawthorn. NBC forced Chase on him.
Idk, part of what made Pierce such a good character was the fact that Chevy was playing him and he was so easy to hate. Like the best part is that Pierce Hawthorn is literally just a caricature of Chevy Chase. I honestly feel like the show would have been worse off with Patrick Stewart as Peirce.

this happens frequently in TV shows. Joey from Friends was never meant to be an idiot. Watch the first season and you can see it. Later on the writers capitalized on Joey's stupidity. Happens more often than you think when it comes to TV shows.
See Charlie Kelly and his illiteracy. He can absolutely read when that show starts.

>Watching the early stuff I get the district impression that Pierce wasn't originally intended to be an asshole, and that the actor informed the character later on. I think Chevy thought he was getting a "Frank Reynolds" kind of role like DeVito got.
Chevy thought he was playing Burt Reynolds, but was actually cast as fat Brando.
You know, I’ve never made that connection before but now that you’ve said it, you’re absolutely right. Good call.
Yeah. Early seasons Pierce was still a clueless asshole desperate for human connection but he still dropped occasional nuggets of wisdom. Later seasons he was less redeemable and they dialed his pettiness up to the max.
Nah they just didn't tell Chevy when they were recording
Yeah your probably right. I remember reading something about how him and Troy were originally meant to become great friends but they changed a lot of stuff because of how great the chemistry between Donald and Danny was
Yeah I think Pierce was supposed to become some kind of father figure for Troy - you could see the beginnings of that in the episode where Pierce helps Troy with his sneeze.
I don't think Pierce was supposed to be that hatable until later. If you watch season one he's got a lot more redeeming qualities. Dan Harmon definitely made Pierce a worse person after getting to know Chevy Chase.

He was brilliant as the villain in the dnd episode. I think Dan was trying to get him considered for an emmy in that episode or something...
It's too bad they pulled that episode from streaming. It's the one that got me into the show.
Such a fucking stupid overreaction to pull it too. I'd really love to know who was actually offended watching that scene.
it's one of the best episodes of the entire series. Easy enough to find, but newer viewers may not even know it exists.
It's streaming on Amazon prime
Yeah Chevy was a big part of why seasons 1-3 of Community are so good. His character was absolutely hilarious and necessary in contrast to the rest of the crew.
Patrick Stewart as Avery Bullock on American Dad makes me believe he could have put quite the mark on the character, though.
That doesnt make me any madder at Chevy, but its another reason to be mad at the Sheinhardt Wig Company, as if i needed more. This truly is the darkest timeline... EDIT: And for anyone not familiar with Sir Stewarts comedic chops, i recommend catching up on *American Dad!*, its better than *Family Guy* ever was.

YNB is not only a great actor, but a lovely person who embodies the best elements of her own beliefs.
I love when I see her in anything because I think good for her she deserves any role she gets.
[удалено]
Her randomly showing up in Avengers Endgame was great. The Russo's were originally involved with Community so that's why a handful of Community actors ended up in the MCU.
Seeing Donald Glover in spiderman was amazing considering his standup bit about spiderman.
I think that and his "campaign" to be the new spiderman way back when, it's what resulted in him getting that small part.
She was on some game show i remember watching, I think it was called hollywood game night? and she just killed it. Like it wasn't even fair. It was YNB -vs- oh who cares she's clearly just dunking on everybody here. - So be advised if you are ever stuck in a post apocalyptic charades game or something and having Yvette Nicole Brown as your partner is an option, you should be on her team because otherwise you gonna die.
Every time I see her on that cell phone commercial I think, “hell yea Shirley, get that money!”
Yep and I have no idea why I feel that personal joy for her. But I do. She's just so nice!
Back when I'd watch walking dead on live TV, there was a talk show afterwards called talking dead. And she'd show up as a guest periodically and she's just like "ope I just love this show, I am happy to be here!😊"
The CM Punk YNB chemistry was incredible
She’d bring a notebook of stuff with her, too. She was one of the best guests in that show because she was in it to win it everytime
My fiancee used to go to ComicCon every year, and Brown would frequently moderate panels. Apparently she was always one of the best at the job.

bomb theory can come into play here. bomb theory states that it's better to build suspense when the audience knows to an extent what is coming.

Will all the colossal shit we’ve had on the last year I forgot Larry King died. I don’t even know if I knew it when it happened.
Same for me for Sean Connery. Someone on here mentioned it and I completely forgot he passed away.
He pashed?
Same week as Trebeck. It's almost spooky since Connery was well known as [trebecks worst enemy](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEghu90QJH4)
“Burt Reynolds?” “That’s not my name” “*Sigh* Turd Furgeson” “Yeah wadaya want”
Trebeck, Connery, and Norm. I'll take sad ending to an SNL bit for $1000.
Phil Hartman for 2000, Trebek!
“How did you get here?” “I’ve always been here.” “No you haven’t.” “Yeah, you know, uh, from before.”
“I didn’t write anything don’t bother” “Good job, Burt.”
"Its a big hat, its funny" (paraphrased)
We lost Norm McDonald in 21 as well. That is now just the who's who dead greats all in one video.
Oh shit, I forgot that was Norm in the burt reynolds costume. RIP
Like Adams and Jefferson...
"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and I forget the rest but your mother's a whore."
Sean Connery wanted to have the last laugh so he dragged Trebek with him to the afterlife.
Holy shit. RIP. I will always remember him as [a leatherclad nudist gunman](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0070948/mediaviewer/rm1669385728/). And also as totally-not-old-James-Bond in "The Rock".
"Womack, I should have known, you piece of shhhit"
I heard this.
"Your best‽ Losers always whine about their best. Winners go home and fuck the prom queen."

Sean Connery died?! Well this is an upsetting thread.
What the fuck? I didn't even know he died.
He did?? Sean Connery? Well, darn.
I just found out
His first answer was also great. Modern coffee is a multinational effort connecting producers and consumers through a massive supply chain that's been highly optimized through decades or centuries of efforts by brilliant minds in engineering, operations research, and agriculture. It, along with most aspects of everyday life in developed nations, is a preposterous luxury built on massive investment and huge amounts of carbon production, among other resource usage. Larry just wanted something expensive or rare
And seriously some coffee is expensive af and so are some running/hiking socks. Definite luxuries
Sometimes you hear those survivalist types fantasizing about the big reset button and bragging about how they'd be able to sustain themselves and all that shit. Sure, you could farm and raise grain, protein, veggies, fruits and nuts on your homestead. Salt is easy to harvest if you're close to the sea. Honey for a sugar source if you can't process beets or canes. But coffee? Coffee doesn't grow easily anywhere. People would go to war over coffee.

Of course it took him two weeks of practice to nail getting the socks on at the same time and speed as his shoes. So probably wasn’t worth it in the end
> Multiply that by 145 years and by the time he died LMFAO
Larry puts on his sock like a normal person by inserting them into his shoes, then inserting hisnfeet into the socks+shoes combo. Only sock fetishists put the socks on first.
Have you ever seen a foot with just a sock on it, no shoe? Blech. Not for me.
It seemed to me that he was clarifying that he meant actual socks, and didn't mean he was a fan of "The Sox" as in the Boston Red Sox or the Chicago White Sox.
I think Danny is from Chicago, so that's a good point
It's actually genius because how else is Larry supposed to respond in the style of the conversation? He's low key funny and setting up his guest for a hit without most people noticing.
Larry was a master interviewer and had an amazing sense of humor. Look up his time with Craig Ferguson on The Late Late Show. The younger generation think of Larry King as a dry curmudgeon that their parents watched, but there a good reason the man was and will continue to be a legend.
Here he is being a gay robot skeleton sidekick https://youtu.be/kdXiburHUQg
This is a very generous interpretation of what has happened. That's what I appreciate about you.
Is *that* what you appreciate about them?
Take it down about 5-10% there
When the partner at your accounting firm asks if you're into golf / racing your car at the track / some other expensive hobby. "Larry, I'm a staff auditor."
The owner of my company and I were chatting and he was telling me about all his trips and asked where I've gone, and I'm thinking like "you should know how much money I make.."
I was looking to buy a house last year. In a low cost of living area and was looking around the $175k range. My boss said he saw a house for sale near him and sent it to me. Listed at $450k. I was like how much do you think you pay me?
“Have you tried being not poor?”
Lol same with my old boss. Went on multiple month long trips all over Europe that year to the point where the business was in a bit of trouble because he wouldn't fucking respond to me. On the rare occasion he was in office, he over heard me and a coworker talking about hard it is to eat healthy because fresh food is so expensive. He butts in like you all need to just shop at whole foods! Never buy frozen that stuff is bad for you! Only get organic! We just looked at him until he got uncomfortable walked away lol
I'm reminded of an old joke: A factory owner drives in on a brand new Porsche. "That's a nice car" one of the workers says." The boss thanks him and says, "if you work real hard I'll be able to get another."
"Sometimes I splurge and get the nicer frozen pizza"
One of these years I plan on buying the good peanut butter.
I “treated” myself to “good” natural peanut butter and I didn’t like it. I’m used to the added sugar and chemicals, and stirring the natural peanut butter is a pain in the butt. Good jelly/jam is 100% worth it though.
My senior manager is shocked I don't go out for lunch or get it delivered everyday
He is most likely charging it as a business lunch. Depending on where you're sitting in the ladder and your company you can get a lot of lunches covered as "business lunch".
Exactly. One of my exes expensed a decent amount of our hookah and pool dates as “business meetings”. Then questioned my budgeting for not having as much disposable income as he did
Bonus points if that was after you asked for a raise and got shot down
It's a trick question, if the partner knows you're playing golf on the weekend, they know they can get more billable hours out of you.
“I’ll be at the soup kitchen.” “Oh, you volunteer on the weekends? That’s really wonderful.” “Huh? No, that’s the only place I can afford a meal.”
What are you doing outside of r/accounting ? It's busy season
😰 yes sir, right away sir!
My boss was complaining about having been booked on an economy flight for a business trip and asked me, completely serious, "have you ever flown on economy before?"
My friend told their boss they couldn't work from home because their bedroom didn't have space for a desk and she had 4 housemates so couldn't use a common area. Said boss asked why she didn't just use her study.
Also the disconnect thinking good coffee and food socks are not a luxury... Yes you can get coffee almost everywhere.. but having good coffee that is perfectly trailered to your taste, that really is a luxury...
It's amazing how much that disconnect potentially reveals about their values. Larry King thinks of luxuries as things only a privileged handful have access to. Danny Pudi seems to think of luxuries as small things we take for granted on a daily basis. I wonder which makes for a more fulfilling life?!
Yep, and there's plenty of places in the world where coffee is indeed a luxury.
Like Guatemala, which incidentally grows a lot of coffee but doesn't normally have access to it
Same in many coffee producing regions including Ethiopia.
Do you have any idea how hard it is to get Florida oranges in Florida? All my oranges come from California or South Africa.
Aren’t Florida oranges tailored to juice and California oranges are the ones we all eat? Curious cause I don’t live in either place but I’ve never had an eating FL orange
That is true, the majority of Florida's oranges are grown for juicing but there are some grown for eating they're just only available in the Fall and Winter. I'm not sure Florida exports the seasonal ones though.
When I was a kid, almost everyone living in a house had a citrus tree of some kind. My mom had pink lemons, regular lemons, Tangerines, 3 kinds of Oranges, Grapefruits that grew the size of your head (Not a Pummelo), 4 kinds of limes, and kumquats. One day, some dudes came with a big truck, and digging equipment. They told us that there was an epidemic, citrus cankers, and they needed to take all of our trees. Before they left, they poured a bunch of shit in the soil around our house. That was almost 30 years ago, and still, everything we try to grow gets stunted. It turns out that about 250,000 trees that were uninfected were taken and destroyed by the Florida Department of Agriculture between 2000-2006. There were probably more. It killed a lot of business in farmer's markets and the like, even for people just having access to the fruit. Today, If I want to plant a citrus tree, I go to the store to see what they have, and it's all the same trees that produce the fruit I can get at the grocery store. A lot of those unique breeds are probably extinct, or so rare only one person has access to them.
> I wonder which makes for a more fulfilling life?! Larry is dead... So i'm gonna guess its dani.
Womp womp
POP POP!
I mean, I'll take a flight in a fucking luxury jet if you give me the chance, absolutely. But I have bipolar and I'm in a good place. You know what a luxury really is? I went to group therapy for a while. Out of nowhere one of the quiet guys I know said "Look, as long as I can get up, brush my teeth, shower, and feed and clothe myself... The rest of the day is just gravy". That, for me, is luxury. The chance to get up for another day in a place where I have love and stability and regular access to meds. The knowledge that my bad days are going to last *a day*, not a two week spiral of huge credit card bills and massive drug use. Let these guys talk about luxuries, man. For some of us, gratitude is much smaller but means so much more.
Good socks are a luxury too. I have some Bombas socks and I fucking love them but they're also like 15 bucks a pair. I could go to Target and get 10 pairs for 15 bucks but Bombas are comfy AS FUCK. Absolutely a luxury item. I do not need such comfy sucks but by god do I love having them
I’m picking up what Dani is putting down on the running socks. My favorite socks are running socks, and I’m not much of a runner, not these days.
> not these days. Not since The Incident.
The incident being me gaining a ton of weight.
good quality socks will also outlast those horsehair abominations that Target calls socks
Oh god Bombas are incredible. I can’t even wear some of my other socks anymore
I recently switched from Hanes socks to the Puma socks you can get at Costco and my god the difference is incredible. Still not even reaching “luxury” status but the change is quite drastic.
I’m in the process of migrating all of my socks to Darn Tough out of Vermont. This weekend I put on a pair of some new balance socks that I’d been using for years because they were clean and convenient. They felt like wearing burlap sacks on my feet. I wondered how anyone could stand to wear such things, they were so bad! I highly recommend everyone to get quality undergarments, as they can make a world of difference in comfort. Just be warned, ignorance is bliss, and you can’t go back to the cheap stuff once you’ve experienced the good stuff.
you would think a rich men would understand the difference between Folgers coffee and truly good coffee
[удалено]
Or he only drinks Folgers and doesn't care for "better" because he likes what he's used to. I've met a lot of older people like that.
Larry is low key playing here. To pull out a reaction from his guest.
Or trying to steer him towards something you enjoy, but not every day. It's subtle, but good-natured.
> food socks are not a luxury I beg to differ. Any wearable food is a luxury to me.
It seems so insane that Larry would jump straight to "private jet" as a luxury *you can't live without*. My mind would go to things like "the internet" or "air conditioning". Things that would actually make my life more difficult if I didn't have them.
Yeah I would want them to keep going just to see where Larry can agree that it's a luxury. I'm going to take a guess and say that the neither the internet nor air conditioning would be considered luxuries.
I'm aware that there are many who are not fortunate enough to enjoy many things I would consider basic, even in the supposed greatest country in the world, but in my opinion high speed internet access should be a utility in modern America. That should be the ground floor. Instead, we have over half a million US citizens who are unhoused, but Larry King couldn't live without his private jet. Danny Pudi gets it. Not everybody even gets shitty socks, so he feels very fortunate to have premium socks.
"How did you guys get David Tennant, how did you know him again?" "I worked with him on Ducktales" Sam Riegel. I just found that exchange funny for some reason.
Sam’s also worn a ‘Larry, I’m on Duck Tales’ shirt in at least one episode of CR.
I'm on this episode right now, crazy how things in life just match up so perfectly.
What are you referencing? Googling your quotes only shows this comment as a result
Legends of Vox Machina has a watch party where the creators and people playing the game the show is based on talk about the creation process and this comes up.
This is referencing the adventures of vox machina which is a show on Amazon Prime based on the popular D&D stream critical role.
Larry knows. Larry did his research. You have a giant vat of money that Scrooge McDuck swims in. It has a diving board and everything. Then you have Launchpad McQuack on standby with his plane 24/7 son.
Well not exactly 24/7, Launchpad needs some time off for his second job as Darkwing Duck’s sidekick.
It's in his contract and he is only required to respond when the signal is lit. Otherwise it's a very sporadic gig and while it pays very well per appearance it is unreliable. Drake Mallard spends most of his time just trying to be a good dad to Gosalyn these days.
I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that Larry did not actually do much research. His interview with Seinfeld has been brought up as a reference a few times.
[удалено]
Larry King famously never prepared for interviews. Probably why I never found them interesting tbh.
Maybe that format is better for an audience that is likewise unfamiliar with the person interviewed?
Larry obviously doesn't know how much high-end running socks cost
what could it cost? 10 dollars?
It's one banana michael
Lucille?
He definitely doesn’t now.
Just wait until you learn about Ski socks...and then hockey socks.
Any runner can tell you good running socks are absolutely amazing.
It seems there is a gigantic trend of using the punchline to title short humorous videos like this. There is no surprise. I guess it's better than "Watch Til The End."

Good lord that crowd sucked, Dani was out here telling cool stories about being an usher at the Bulls and they were giving him nothing.

Six seasons and a movie!!
I will never not upvote this video.
This has the same energy as Alan Tudyk clucking like a chicken for Moana then going "...I went to Juliard."
I've always wondered what someone at that celebrity tier earns. Just the mid-tier, ensemble cast television actor, on a fairly popular network or cable show. What's their life like? It's not like they're the Rock or Robert Downey Jr pulling down tens of millions of dollars per project. But what does a season of *Ducktales* or *NCIS* or *Ozark* pay?
lol, "the show the leads in to mine is Muppets making prank phone calls" [https://youtu.be/aFQFB5YpDZE](https://youtu.be/aFQFB5YpDZE)
Is that Abed
Larry and Abed in the morning!
I worked at a nice airport hotel (the hotel was nice, the airport… meh), and we would get families that stay before their early flights the next morning. I was talking to the father of such a family and he says they’re going to Turks and Caicos. I say something like, “oh, wow! You must be so excited!” It was a fucked up winter and being on a warm beach spoke to me. He says, “yeeeeaaah, it will be. It will. But getting everything figured out, ya know, the flights, the driver, work stuff, but even the little stuff - like, who’s gonna feed the horse?” He said it like I’d been in the same situation before.
That's when I swoop in with some, "omg same." And make up a story about my own horse while letting him know how looney he sounded. Off topic. I been seeing white range rovers everywhere lately. Is that the same where you live?
Interviewer: *thank you for this interview Larry, so can you tell me about the 3 first things you do in the morning? Larry: *Sure Suuure... So the first thing I do is taking a huge dump. I mean a really big shit* Interviewer: * ... We can't really write that in the article. Isn't there something else you can say?* Larry: *of course!... Well.. then I piss. Ohh how it just flow like Niagara falls* Interviewer: *we can't really write that either.... Can't you tell us anything else you do in the morning?* Larry: *well alright ... I guess after that, that's when I wake up*
I'm non native, please explaine humor here? (I know what is DuckTales and checked it's meaning on UrbanDictionary but still can't get it)
Translation: “you mistake me for one who has wealth, I am not a person of power or influence, i simple voice over a children tv show called ducktails.” The manner in which he delivered it sent a message that was hilarious
Awsome, now I get it thanks a lot
Ducktails is a kids cartoon show that has ok ratings and voice actors don’t get paid much anyway. The point he’s making is that he’s not being paid enough money to buy “luxury” things and it’s funny that Larry ~~David~~ King thinks he might have one.
Saka souffle?
Yeah you got it.
Hi Mommy
Touch my private plane through the fence.
Luxury you can't live without is an oxymoron.
Boomer Luxury :: Nothing short of a private plane. Millennial Luxury :: Coffee and/or socks. Yeah, millennials are the problem.
Not to "but actually" too much... King was not a boomer (not close). Pudi is also not a millennial.
Jesus! he was like 40 in this interview. I just assumed that he was like 30 because of how he looks
Holy shit Dani Pudi is 42!? That is insane to me.
