- 14:41Tim jokes about a game show bit where he'd kiss something for a Cinnabon.
- 15:09One comedian's premise about dinosaurs being the fastest rising storms and asking if any white people are in the audience.
- 15:31A comic tells another that his lack of talent is the real problem, not him.
- 15:56Tim argues the show only works if the audience thinks the comedians are delusional psychopaths, and it's a weird way to present comics.
- 16:40Reality show format damages a comic's career by ratcheting up expectations and branding them as a fast-rising star.
- 17:30The material on the show is incomplete — comedians are doing premises that came up five minutes ago and cutting them off before finishing.
- 17:51Tim questions whether the pilot got permission to use copyrighted music like Collective Soul.
