S1E3 How NOT To Be Funny

THE BLURB: Comedy is hard. Some people epitomize that fact every time they attempt comedy. Of course, the subject "what's funny?" is subjective. It's very much a matter of taste. Except for when it's not. In this episode, Glenn and Alan share their choices for some of the very least funny people ever. Some of them are quite convinced they're funny.

S1E1 Does Everyone Have A Sense of Humor?

The Blurb: We assume everyone is born with a sense of humor. But, are they? What do we even mean by "sense of humor"? If it's like our other senses, we can be born without them - or lose them. In this episode, we'll ask a question that should have been asked long ago: does everyone actually have a sense of humor?
