Scott Aukerman Quotes

It’s so hard to figure out how to end a TV show Picture Quote #1

I’m probably doing puns more than anything in my life Picture Quote #1

I always tried to do cool things Picture Quote #1

I’m a huge Bob Hope fan, up until about the late 50s. I’ve seen so many of his movies up until then, and they’re a big influence on me and a big influence on Woody Allen, who is basically just ripping off Bob Hope for his first five or six movies Picture Quote #1

Most of the stuff I’ve written has never even gotten made. It’s par for the course. It’s a great living, but it also gets very frustrating Picture Quote #1

I think expressing yourself and working hard can’t help but have great results. Look at Zach Galifanakis. He didn’t tweet. He didn’t have a podcast. He just went out and did the funniest standup you’ll ever see in your life. And he was rewarded for that Picture Quote #1

Not everyone can be as successful a performer as myself, who gave 10 great performances the first time I ever did comedy, and then toiled in obscurity for years Picture Quote #1

Intimacy is really good. But then again, the first disk on the record is not intimate in the least. It’s a really good CD Picture Quote #1

So much of comedy is feeling comfortable with the point of view coming at you. So I understand it. There’s people who I find hilarious now, but the first couple of times I saw ‘em, I was like What is this? I don’t get it at all Picture Quote #1

The power of podcasting is pretty remarkable. It is such an amazing way to mobilize fans. It’s almost like they’re part of your family. They probably listen to you more than they listen to their own families. I know that’s true for me. So there is a real bond there Picture Quote #1

At the end of Season Four of ‘Mr. Show,’ instead of doing another season, everyone just thought they wanted to go and do a movie. Kind of like Monty Python. Monty Python went right into ‘And Now For Something Completely Different,’ and everyone kind of compared ‘Mr. Show’ to Monty Python Picture Quote #1

It’s really difficult to make things, and a lot of times you don’t know you’re at the end of something Picture Quote #1

I grew up loving David Letterman and Pee-wee Herman, but as far as live performance comedy, all I knew were the Jerry Seinfeld-type comedians of the world, and that’s what I thought live performance comedy was all about Picture Quote #1

I’m not the type of guy who’s funny in the room. I’m the guy who’s funny late at night on a computer, trying to construct jokes Picture Quote #1

I came to one of the first Comic Cons in 1985, when it was just people trading back issues of comic books Picture Quote #1

Working on ‘Comedy Bang Bang,’ we’re there from 10-7, and that’s a pretty light day compared to most other TV shows. Other shows, it’s like 10-10 Picture Quote #1

There’s always something interesting about comedy teams that have the exact same energy. The one time I really noticed that was Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly in ‘Step Brothers.’ Picture Quote #1

Your average comedian doesn’t know the podcast universe, really Picture Quote #1

I was always a big fan of Mel Brooks and Carl Reiner’s 2000-Year-Old Man’ sketch. I think it’s one of the biggest influences on the podcast, definitely. You’d never say Carl Reiner was the funniest dude on there, because he’s just teeing it up, but he knows what questions to ask to lead to great improv Picture Quote #1

Comedy is really best when watched with other people, and I don’t really understand people who sit at home watching comedy movies on Netflix Picture Quote #1

The podcast was kind of an afterthought, because I was just excited about being on the radio. Then I found that the podcast listenership is some 20 times what people are listening to on the radio Picture Quote #1

I have new bodyguards ever since I got a TV show. I didn’t know, but it’s a lot like becoming president. They tell you every single secret, like who shot JFK. When you have a TV show, they not only tell you who shot JFK, but they assign you bodyguards Picture Quote #1

Endings of television shows are sometimes such depressing things. It’s like you’re not going to hang out with these people anymore, and that’s bad enough Picture Quote #1

Podcasts feature comedians being as funny as they can be in a non-censored situation. It’s really akin to standup in a way. When you go see a comedian in standup, that is the most pure, unadulterated form of their art Picture Quote #1

You become a victim of your own success. It’s what happens in TV when Fox has a big hit with the X-Files. And they start chasing and the rest of their shows suffer. Because the experimentation that made the X-Files a show is all of the sudden lost Picture Quote #1

You see people who are disenfranchised elsewhere coming to Comic Con and making lifetime friends. I love seeing the outcasts of society all bonding together Picture Quote #1

Intimacy is really good. But then again, the first disk on the record is not intimate in the least. It’s a really good CD Picture Quote #1

I find I’ve always been judgmental about comedy (laughs) and it’s hard to turn that off, really. But what constant exposure to live comedy does is it makes you give people a second chance Picture Quote #1

I guess when I was a kid I wasn’t the type of person playing a lot of pranks. I was the type of person upon whom pranks were pulled Picture Quote #1
