RIP Harris Wittels
died of a heroin overdose today. shit is no joke
if you're unfamiliar, he was a writer, stand up & actor. he most notably wrote, exec-produced & acted on parks & recreation. he was the guy who invented the "humblebrag" & ran that twitter account. his own twitter was hilarious as well.
i had been following him for a while now & he was def one of the best of the younger generation doing their thing in the comedy world
if you want some insight into his life, listen to his latest episode of 'you made it weird' where he talks about his addiction in depth. might be kind of a depressing listen RN tho

Re: RIP Harris Wittels
His bit parts on Park and Rec were funny but now I realize they were funny because he was actually doped up during them.
I feel no sympathy for junkies.

Re: RIP Harris Wittels
fucking sucks. Wittels was funny every time he'd pop up in something. He was my favorite guest on the comedy bang bang podcast.

What would you say were the essential Wittels podcast appearances?

Re: RIP Harris Wittels
I've listened to all 10 episodes of the Phish one since he passed, and can't recommend them highly enough. He's amazingly, effortlessly funny in every one of them.battlecatmeowstab212 wrote:What would you say were the essential Wittels podcast appearances?
I don't even like Phish, at all.
His Phone/Foam corner bits on CBB are a must as well.

Re: RIP Harris Wittels
foam corners are essential.
in particular, one of the earlier cdr episodes where he was doing Jack the lumberjack still cracks me up.

Re: RIP Harris Wittels
I second that the Analyze phish podcasts are great. Especially if you're not a fan of phish.

Yeah, jam band music is the one genre I absolutely cannot listen to, but this thread has inspired me to check it out.

Great call on the Phish podcast. I'm one episode in and loved it.

Pretty intense episode of You Made It Weird featuring Whittles, talking about his addiction.
