The Comedy Button — Episode 4 (2011-11-04)
This week, we celebrate Halloween with a bunch of boring Halloween non-stories because we’re old and stupid. But we’ve got plenty of cartoon porn, professional masturbation, weird hairless cats, ice-breaking (literally), lonely basketball hoops, parent-child bonding, and giant dongs to discuss. We also learn whose to-do list Anthony is on (again, literally), and we mull over which celebrities we’d most like to pummel. Starring Scott Bromley, Brian Altano, Anthony Gallegos, Ryan Scott, and Max Scoville.
