Tizzle Wizzle Show

Episode 80 covers the 2009 Christmas-show Digital Short 'The Tizzle Wizzle Show (Jammy Shuffle)' with James Franco, plus the team's rewatch of Nick Cage UN ambassador, Mark Wahlberg Talks to Christmas Animals, Jerry and Carl Christmas presents, and Underground Festival. Andy, Akiva and Seth host, with Jorma absent for much of the episode (arriving late), and they respond to listener comments including the 'cube job' and 'hit us in the tittus'. The memorable takeaway is Mike O'Brien's voice note crediting Jorma for the Underground Festival VO and the team's bit that Jorma was never coming.

    We're like, well, we got those funny ones we did for when it airs on TV. Let's just show those. Putting all the horniness aside from Basic Instinct, I will tell you that when I saw it in the theaters, when it ended, I…

    4:19

    Jorma is running late for Mari's birthday and does not join for most of the episode. The hosts keep teasing that he might show up, and he finally arrives at the end.

    Thank you. Thank you, Seth. It's great to be here. You know, I've always considered myself a bit of a global ambassador. It's nice to finally make it official. So, uh, what exactly are we doing with this new position?

    I mean, I'm looking at the rundown from that week. It looks like it was Bill and Bobby doing Snooki from Jersey Shore. So that's pretty political. And they were kind of national. They had gone national at that point.… — Akiva
  9. Mark Wahlberg sketch cut short by rundown

    20:24

    Mark Wahlberg Talks to Christmas Animals was last in the rundown, and Andy ran out of time as the sketch played. Floor manager Chris Kelly was counting him down while he kept going.

    That's the one where it was last in the rundown and we ran out of time on the episode.

    I mean, as soon as I enter that frame, I know for a fact I've never been mauled by a reindeer, but I immediately was like, oh, God, I hope I don't get mauled. It's a very small reindeer. Those horns are big and scary.… — Andy
  11. The Tizzle Wizzle Show's influences

    32:04

    The hosts compare the Tizzle Wizzle Show's kids-show parody to Teletubbies, Bananas in Pajamas, Yo Gabba Gabba and The Wiggles, and mention Wonder Showzen's skewed take on children's programming.

    It's also a little bit of like Teletubbies and Bananas in Pajamas and what's the other one?
  12. Criterion ranking on Tizzle Wizzle

    34:29

    Andy calls the Tizzle Wizzle Show 100% Criterion, the top tier for the show's shorts.

    And it's 100% Criterion.
  13. Kim's Video ranking

    34:40

    Andy and Seth rank the Tizzle Wizzle Show as Kim's Video, a second-tier ranking for shorts worth a deeper dive.

    I think it's Kim's video. All right, Kim's video.

    Goes back to Kim's Video, Ep. 39, 23:35: Kim's videos. Ooh, like cool underground. Yeah. Like all Tim's videos was a video store in New York that like the cine files would go to.

  14. Dagger jokes cut the Cage piece

    35:00

    Seth jokes that the Cage piece was cut because it had too many daggers, since the writers had already written two dagger sketches.

    You can't have two daggers.

    I think that's fair. And by the way, knowing him, he'll show up like as we're saying bye. Yeah. We can also ask him next week about the Tis a Wizard show. He honestly might remember more than us. But I do think this…
  16. Underground Festival name change

    41:06

    The first Underground Festival sketch was titled Kick-Spit Music Festival, and the team spent an hour naming it. The next version became the Underground Underground Festival.

    Because the first one was called the Kick-Spit Music Festival.
  17. Mike O'Brien's festival writing process

    42:51

    Mike O'Brien wrote the Underground Festival concept, and the rewrite table would throw in dumb ideas like the band names and Iron Sheik joke while he wrote things down.

    And a lot of them come from him. And then he would also sit at the rewrite table and he would just write stuff down.
  18. Ask Dan memorial

    44:11

    Ask Dan, the Underground Festival's mud-eating champion, is referenced in the sketch's memorial service joke after a previous invitation.

    Don't miss a very special memorial service for Ask Dan.
  19. Mike O'Brien's voice note on Jorma's VO

    44:57

    Mike O'Brien explains that he and Jost first asked Jorma to voice the Underground Festival VO, and that a replacement for the table read was rougher.

    I don't remember why Jost and I first asked Jorm to do those VOs, but he was so great at them.

    Well, you have to think that. Yorm is not here, but I texted, I looked at the YouTube comments this morning and texted one to you, Seth, to say to Yorm, did you see my text? Oh, yeah. Remember Yorm said somebody just…
  21. Postcard pelvis

    48:02

    A listener wrote 'penis' on a postcard but meant 'pelvis,' and the hosts discuss how the V and L letters look similar.

    Remember Yorm said somebody just wrote in a postcard that said penis.
  22. Later, Arnold sign-off callback

    51:48

    The hosts use Arnold Schwarzenegger's 'Later, Quaids' soundbite as a sign-off, with Andy cueing Jorma with 'Later, Arnold.'

    Andy, as soon as you see him, just say, later, Arnold.
