The Comedy Button
What's going on, Internet!? Prepare for some of the most insane rambling about everything from life, to sex, to what passes for 21st-century Internet culture. Your aural canals are ours, and we're filling them with nonsense -- courtesy of hosts Brian Altano, Scott Bromley, Ryan Scott, Max Scoville, and Kristin Van De Yar.

Get ready for Hollywood's next big thing: the Cereal Mascot Cinematic Universe. The Trix Rabbit. Captain Crunch. Count Chocula. That dumbass Honey Nut Cheerios Bee. That shrieking vermin that's always always after the Honeycomb. Wendell the Baker. All your favorites, together, on the big screen, at last. The Comedy Button (this episode, anyway) is Brian Altano and Max Scoville, drunk in a hotel room in Anaheim. (We apologize in advance for the unusually crummy audio quality; it's the end of the year and we're out of brain power.)
