CHRISTMAS CBB! - 17 guests, 20 characters, 1000 laughs (approx): A COMEDY BANG! BANG! CHRISTMAS pt 1

What better way to say “good riddance” to 2020 and get the last laugh on the shittiest year in memory, than cackling uncontrollably, for hours, at classic “Comedy Bang! Bang!” yuletide episodes? Rather than upload the lot the weekend before Christmas as intended, I'm sending you a part each week, for two reasons. One, I will be forced to stop fiddling, fixing and faffing about, seeing places to add an image or effect, fill a space in a still and replace low res pics, stopping me from getting to the next video. Two: Why make you wait? This is a compilation of cuts from ten CBB Christmas Spectaculars, with some of the show’s funniest and most popular guests, either being themselves, or playing twenty crazy characters. The episodes are from the 2009 and 2011-2019 shows. I haven’t used any of the 2010 episode, as that has a cut of its own on my channel (   • COMEDY BANG! BANG! XMAS 2010 - Scott Auker...  . Please note: This was originally intended as one video, but it quickly got away from me and grew too big (a common problem for me!) and the opening credits here list guests appearing over all four parts. Only 20 of the 42 are in part one. Even after cutting together enough audio for four parts, so much more great stuff ended up on the cutting room floor BUT it CAN be heard with a subscription to Stitcher Premium. I have no affiliation with Stitcher or Earwolf, my CBB videos unsolicited and unauthorised. I love the show (an obsession friends say and probably redundant here) and it’d be great if my videos attract new fans, while those of us already obsessed can re-visit great CBB moments. I’m probably my channel’s most frequent visitor. Scott and co have helped make this year much more bearable than it would’ve been without them. While I have attempted to produce what sounds like one massive, seamless CBB episode, I have included links to separate segments below (some comprising clips from two or more eps) so it’s easy to dip in and out or go straight to your favourites. To keep it a little surprising, I haven’t listed the characters played, just the comedy geniuses playing them (or being themselves). Merry Christmas (or, if you prefer, Happy Holiday)! 00:00:00 – 2017, 2011, 2009 - INTRODUCTION(S) 00:03:03 – 2011 – HARRIS WITTELS 00:17:33 – 2009 – DOUG BENSON, JON HAMM, NICK KROLL, JAMES ADOMIAN, PAUL F.
