Robby Hoffman joked about AIDS, pedophilia, and late-term abortions in her Netflix special — and the only communities to mount a serious backlash were pit bull owners and celiacs. She jokes they're both dominated by rich white women, and notes with some irony that she may have raised more celiac awareness than anyone.

Garcia-Navarro presses Hoffman on how she thinks about her comedy — specifically whether you need to belong to a group to joke about it. Hoffman's answer is clean and unequivocal: anyone can do anything, but you're at your own risk. She cites Dave Chappelle as the obvious example — he can joke about trans people without being trans, but people can also respond however they want. The market of reactions is open. Hoffman doesn't place herself above this dynamic; she's simply honest about it. What she struggles to answer is whether there's something she personally won't joke about — not because it doesn't exist, but because jokes come to her rather than being planned, and she can only know her limits by approaching them.
A broken pipe turned the Bad Friends studio into a hydrogen sulfide chamber. The crew denied smelling anything — which, as Andrew pointed out, makes their home lives deeply suspicious.
At a childhood sleepover in Sacramento, Bobby Lee's friends drew penises all over his face while he slept. He woke up, cried, and walked 7 miles down a dirt road before Eric Purvis's mom drove out to retrieve him.
On KSI's Make Me Laugh show, Bobby Lee got slapped so hard he fell and briefly blacked out — 5 minutes into the event. The rule was to use a tortilla, but the contestant used his bare hand instead.
What starts as a riff on Amber Alerts turns into an elaborate Speed remake: Bobby is a Hollywood tour guide whose bus shares a route with a kidnapper's identical bus, there's a bomb on board, and Keanu Reeves needs to be called immediately.
Their producer riffs a conspiracy theory about Lindsey Graham's death in Kyiv, which somehow leads to Bobby and Andrew discovering that every lyric of 'A Whole New World' from Aladdin secretly describes 9/11. They are disturbingly convincing.
Bobby Lee woke up Saturday morning to find three children splashing in his pool, along with a professionally hired swimming teacher — all arranged by friends who have keys to his house. His response: 'There's just too much joy here.'
Harold Ramis told a story about Caddyshack's cast doing drugs all day and night during Florida storm delays, with half their pay going to cocaine. Bobby Lee immediately wants to make that exact movie — and offers to relapse to do it.
Robby Hoffman had never heard of 'new towels.' A towel, in her world, was built with the house. When Sarah Silverman announced she'd bought new pool towels, it was a class-gap revelation.
Will Arnett pitched the perfect rich-person home for Robby: seven-hundred-thread-count sheets and brand-new towels — but a tiny, wrecked kitchen with a coil stove, chips, and Sprite. Best of both worlds.
