Because I've never taken UCB, listening to this podcast blows my mind. They improvise so simply. Someone tells a story off of a one word suggestion... and then people just improvise that exact same story!!! (For the most part). A part of me is angry with this style, because it is SO easy. And I would have gotten my ass kicked in levels 1-3 of iO Chicago (where I feel you learn the mechanics of where to start a scene) if I based a scene off exactly what was just said. But, on the flip side, it really doesn't matter. I can't stop listening to these shows because they are just so goddamn funny.
It is training my ear to think simply.
It's also infuriating because it is SO opposite of what Groundlings stands for. I'd say 80% of these scenes are two strangers talking, lots of them are transaction scenes, there is a lot of saying no and asking questions. And it is so funny and entertaining. I guess it's just Punk Improv. Learn the rules and break them! Whoo!!! *Pouring beer on myself*
Plus, Matt Besser is crazy hot. I'd say, like, top 10 celebrities hot.
