Any feedback on the Luke/Layton sketch? It made me laugh while writing it and playing it back, but it's more important that listeners enjoyed it.

Personally, I didn't care for it.  I've never been a fan of the sketch commercials.  They seem juvenile and funnier for the person performing the skit than for the listeners.

So my fiancee wife was listening to RFN for the first time ever as I was listening to this episode in the car with her.  She was actually enjoying it quite a bit, but that layton sketch TOTALLY turned her off to the whole thing.

Not that she's a standard listener by any means, but you know.

I guess it turned out to be more controversial than I expected. Is it because of the language? I think it's less offensive in that respect than how we usually talk on the show.

I'm going to take a guess it was more the subject material that bothered people. It did feel like a glorified penis joke. I loved the voice work, but I just didn't find the subject matter/punchline terribly funny myself.

Generally speaking, it's not the subject matter that offends me.  It's just that the jokes tend to fall flat.  I hate Brufus.  I'm not a huge Sweet Pete fan either.  The jokes generally boil down to crew members talking into the microphone in a funny voice.

Sorry if my criticism sounds harsh.  I'm not trying to be rude.

It was definitely the subject matter that offended her.  She isn't big on vulgarity, but letting one slip here and there doesn't bother her.

But given her aversion to vulgarity, she didn't like James at all and thought Greg was really good. =P

More proof that comedy is hard.

I thought the skit was funny, although it seemed kind of like a one-note joke. That was probably what you were going for, though. Still, I can see why some people would be bothered by it.

Your wife and me think alike! What a wonderful woman, I think she is awesome already!

I'm glad to see Jonny and I were on the same page with the whole Diabolical "Box" thing. Call me childish (I know I am) but I find stupid stuff like that hilarious.

I'm also glad to see Layton had some good advice for Luke; however, we all know that Layton must not be too interested in that which he gave advice, considering he pals around with a pre-teen boy...
