Podcasts are awesome. Next to Steam and legally free streaming episodes of South Park, podcasts rank pretty high on the list of awesome things to come out of the Internet. Great as they are, I tend to not venture far from the shows I’ve been listening to for a few years. There are, unfortunately, only so many free hours in the day. My attention drawn to The ManBuyCow Podcast because it was described as a mashup between the absurdity and lunacy of Monty Python’s Flying Circus and the sharp, clever humor of Douglas Adams. With that pedigree, it HAS to be good, right? To my joy, it is. And I was hooked after the first episode. ManBuyCow is a sketch comedy podcast show featuring a British comedy duo, Rufus and Howard, who perform the show’s numerous characters, write its content and perform the music. The pair engage one another in a variety of wacky situations, such as reminiscing their pasts using a time travelling cupboard and engaging with eccentric locals. The sketches are framed by musical interludes and fake commercials. Rufus and Howard clearly try to earn a laugh from listeners but there are moments that suggests an intention to get a rise out of each other, often resulting in uncontrolled and infectious laughing fits. Bad puns, musical numbers, and a trip to hell, ManBuyCow has everything. And because each episode doesn’t last very long, the jokes tend to not overstay their welcome. ManBuyCow is a great show that is definitely worth a listen.
