I unfortunately had to sit this episode out (nothing nefarious — I had an important out-of-town appointment), but somehow, these jokers managed to make it good without me. So give it a listen, and share it with the whole Internet as usual. And if you listen to the Comedy Button on your iOS or Android device, make sure to pick up our Comedy Button app via the iOS Podcast box or Amazon.com Android Marketplace. You’ll get some sweet mobile-only bonus content for picking these apps up!

The Comedy Button — Episode 13 (2012-01-20)
This week, we remember why our parents may or may not have thought we were gay during our bromances, how awesome ToyFare Magazine was, how lame some of our childhood toys (like neon Batman figures) were, how awesome others (like ThunderCats) were, how girls failed to remember that handsome Harvey Dent became Two-Face, and how the Real Housewives of Atlanta think black mannequins dressed as slaves can’t actually have sex with them. Starring Scott Bromley, Brian Altano, Anthony Gallegos, and Max Scoville.

The Comedy Button — Episode 12 (2012-01-13)
Put your mittens up, people! This week, we recorded an episode that sucked (so we scrapped it), and then we recorded this one (you get to be the judge of whether this one sucks too!) In any case, we say hello to Ryan Scott’s bizarro rapper twin, examine the upper echelon of Snob Hill, discuss the pitfalls of OKCupid, give our advice for name-changing (short version: just rename yourself “Max” like Max did), listen to some terrible theme song submissions, consider having babies (or not), and mock the ridiculousness of truTV. Also: Vajazzling. Starring Scott Bromley, Brian Altano, Anthony Gallegos, Ryan Scott, and Max Scoville.
