Talk:Brian Posehn

Untitled
Anybody want to take a crack at rewriting the Career section? Since Posehn is primarily a comedian, do we want to frame his career by listing his minor roles in television shows? Brainslug 09:42, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

Regarding Comedy Central Special
I am watching the comedy central special for brian posehn as i type. as i was watching it, i noticed a discrepancy on his wiki page (he mentions it in his act). he said that his jizz tastes like pinkberry, but the wiki article here says his shit tastes like pinkberry. i could be wrong, i dont have tivo or anything, but can this be reviewed? thank you.

Redirect
We need to make a redirect from "Bryan Posehn." I mispelled his name and nothing came up.PowderedToastMan 03:17, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Done. :) --AMK1211 05:26, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

and perhaps various misspellings of his name. I would but I don't have that knowledge Jerky Chid (talk) 03:08, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

Credited as a writer
Posehn's written a graphic novel (can be found here) so I added "writer" to his occupation. - Throw 08:32, 30 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Not to mention writing a story in the mini-series "Dwight T. Albatross's The Goon Noir" issue #2. Itself a spin-off of the successful series The Goon and published by Dark Horse. The mini-series teamed a number of comedians (including Patton Oswalt and Thomas Lennon) with notable artists. In this case Tony Moore. If you want a cite (aside from being credited in the comic itself) the quickest, laziest one I could find was here.69.181.55.239 (talk) 18:00, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

Posehn has also written the fifth episode of of the fourth season of Brendon Small's Metalocalypse. I saw it on the ending credits, I don't know how to use that, but it is reliable. If anyone could edit it and put some kinda source, it would be great. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 186.142.142.143 (talk) 00:58, 29 September 2012 (UTC)

Reads his Wikipedia page
At the Comedians of Comedy show in Louisville, Ky on 11/5/07, Brian said that he checked his Wikipedia page. He said that he could tell it was mostly written by a fan and was mostly accurate. He said the last entry said that he was unattractive shameless career-climber. He said he removed that and replaced it with a statement that his semen "tastes like vajayjay and" cures diseases. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.72.196.37 (talk) 23:04, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
 * here is the only diff I could find. No mention of career climbing. I spent what feels like 2 hours digging this up, although I believe it has been only 30 minutes.
 * It would have been a good candidate for WP:BJAODN. Xavexgoem (talk) 03:31, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I found this edit relating to the career-climbing comment he made, but does not appear to be followed by the gummy bears edit any time soon after that. (By the way, if you look through the edits, you can see that Conan isn't the first time he makes the joke as several people reference it before March 19th.) 65.24.169.83 (talk) 08:27, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
 * User:Pugmommy7 might also be Posehn based on their limited contributions (Adding the gummy bear cum line). If anyone ever confirms something use the Notable Wikipedian template. It looks like somewhere in September/October of 2007 is when he did the edits. -Optigan13 (talk) 05:21, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Not a place for stupidity
Hey this place is not the place nor time for all your stupidity. Wikipedia is trying to make itself a reliable source for information. Ok so you enjoyed Conan's interview with him. This is not the place for you to express that joy. crazzycorbe (talk) 05:32, 19 March 2008 (UTC)


 * On top of that, the transient comments by Posehn on the show and the vandalism that it may spawn are not appropriate content for a Wikipedia article. Please do not add commentary to the article about the fact that people were vandalizing the article about the fact that Posehn purportedly vandalized his own article... ju66l3r (talk) 05:37, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I do think it is noteworthy to mention Posehn's comments. Nevertheless, the decision to lock the article makes sense and may need to remained locked for a longer period of time. Kyros (talk) 05:45, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
 * We don't mention every joke someone makes on some talk show (in fact, we really shouldn't mention any at all; they're almost never encyclopedic). The only reason this one is any different is because he mentioned wikipedia, which is self-referential, and therefore null.
 * Oh shit, now Izzard is talking about WP on Carson. Off we go again. -R. fiend (talk) 05:52, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

This can probably go back to semi-protection now. -R. fiend (talk) 14:25, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

I think you people need to lighten up about a f###ing webpage. Take a step back and re-evaluate your lives, if a comedian vandalizing his own page spawning copy cats is your biggest concern, then go out to the real world and get some real problems. _Tad_ —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.142.27.126 (talk) 04:46, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
 * The same can be said for you. I think you've got some things to think over if you derive self-worth from telling people that you think their lives are pathetic based on a webpage. Who's the one without real problems, now? Rwiggum  (Talk /Contrib ) 04:54, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

Conan O'brien
Ok, sweet. We've got the page protected. I think it would be prudent to add the info about his airing on Conan. Not necessarily the text, but just that he was a guest on March 18th, 2008. Man, I was overwhelmed last night trying to revert all the vandals. It was like a firesale. --Invisibl e Di plo mat 666 15:27, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I see no reason to add that to the article. These sorts of guys make appearances all the time on talk shows. Unless he does something like jump over a couch and act like a raving lunatic, such appearances are mundane and not encyclopedic. -R. fiend (talk) 15:31, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
 * And maybe you're right. The discussion page could suffice. But it was a big story for him to mention WP like that. Who knows, maybe someone somewhere else will reference and cite it, like John Stewart. --Invisibl e Di plo mat 666 15:49, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Actually, WP is mentioned quite a bit these days in such forums. Certainly Colbert mentions it all the time. It's actually not terribly uncommon for guests on talk shows to bring up their Wikipedia pages; Marilu Henner did so on Ellen a little while back (yeah, sometimes I watch too much TV). WP discourages self-referential material, so we basically treat coverage like we do any other website. If Posehn had discussed something like myspace we wouldn't mention it here, so we don't for Wikipedia either. A news story in itself, like the Seigenthaler incident, is a different story though.
 * Anyway, good job fighting off the firesale. I think in all the confusion and constant edits I may have accidentally been reverting to a version that still had vandalism. Well, it's better now. Times like that make me miss being an admin, as I would have semi-protected the page as soon as I say Posehn mention it. Oh well. -R. fiend (talk) 16:46, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I agree with R. fiend on this one (as might be clear from my comment in the section above from last night's minor affair. Unlike a Colbert-esque call-to-arms or persistent mention of Wikipedia, this was a fleeting comment that about a dozen or so people chose to act upon.  That's just not the sort of notable event worthy of mentioning in an encyclopedia.  If this were a "wikiality"-style campaign or extended affair that he was attempting to wage, then that would be different.  ju66l3r (talk) 00:15, 20 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Indeed Posehn,himself,admitted to personally vandalizing subjective negative opinions against himself in the article,can ya blame the guy? Sochwa (talk) 20:37, 19 March 2008 (UTC)


 * He also said, during his appearance, that the page was now "locked", but that he had added the information that his penis, nicknaked "Short Round", tastes like gummi bears, and cures depression, also that nobody would test his claims.  I suspect he was in error on all counts, but the number of addresses the edits have been coming from should give him some "geek cred", or many friends with computers who are willing to take orders.  Colin Pye (talk) 02:29, 20 March 2008 (UTC)


 * I've removed the editprotected template as I couldn't see that there was any consensus to make the requested edit. If you would still like the change to be made, please discuss it carefully and provide specific details on what you want done when you put the template back up. Thanks. Hers fold  (t/a/c) 17:18, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Why not unprotect? The spate of vandalism was due to a mention on TV that is far enough in the past. There is certainly no reason for anything stronger than semi-protection anyway. -R. fiend (talk) 17:26, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Just Shoot Me
Something that wasn't mentioned in his career is that he had a re-occuring role on the sitcom "Just Shoot Me" —Preceding unsigned comment his dick tastes like gummi bears and cures the blues added by 24.31.173.205 (talk) 08:09, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
 * It's in the intro, maybe should be in Career too. -Colfer2 (talk) 15:04, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

semi=protection
This article is a regular vandal target and that doesn't seem to be letting up. A recurring joke he apparently tells at a lot of his stand up performances (and on network TV) is about how he edits his article to say his penis tastes like candy or whatever, so various vandals are adding it daily. I think a long term semi-protect might be in order until he gets some new material. Anyone agree? -R. fiend (talk) 06:37, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I'd agree, it's not constant vandalism, but it is steady enough that a round of semi-pro might knock it down. Redrocket (talk) 06:41, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

New Album?
I saw him open for Mastodon in Athens, GA on Saturday 10/11/08 at the Chunklet Anniversary show. He said he was recording his second album that night. Seems relevant to add this but don't have any source other than hearing him say that at the show. —Preceding unsigned comment added by BlauNacht (talk • contribs) 17:26, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately, you will need a source other than "I heard him say it". DP 76764  (Talk) 17:29, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

I just found this which says he recorded in Nashville, TN. Guess he didn't like his set the night I saw him. http://punchlinemagazine.com/blog/brian-posehn-records-new-album —Preceding unsigned comment added by BlauNacht (talk • contribs) 17:52, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
 * "recorded parts of his new album"; performers usually put together pieces from different performances for albums, so maybe they'll put in something from the show you saw. Might be tough to source though, so just be cautious about adding it to the article.  DP 76764  (Talk) 18:07, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

In Regards to Brutal Legend
Just wanted to ask someone to update the fact that he has provided the voice for the Hunter in Brutal Legend and so that should be changed. Also, verify the name of the Hunter, I'm not sure if it is just 'Hunter' or 'Huntmaster' or some variation.

 * I've found a citation for this and will add it in. I'm also going to stick the reference to the game under the Music section rather than Other Work b/c BL is so closely tied to metal. NewlandArcher (talk) 07:04, 26 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Lol...or not! Didn't realize I couldn't edit the page. I would suggest, then, that the reference to BL happen at the end of the first paragraph discussion his various connections to metal, mentioning that Brütal Legend "takes place in a world inspired by heavy metal music". However, the BL page contains the gem that another reason Posehn did voice work on the project was because he and Tim Schafer, the game's director, worked together on their high school paper. The citation for the name of Posehn's character is here: http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/xbox360/data/943672.html NewlandArcher (talk) 07:22, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

Edit request from Kaderwolf, 10 June 2010
Under the article for Brian Posehn, a quote referring to his Comedy Central Presents special is mentioned under the "Stand-up Comedy" section of the page. Here is the quote: "His jizz tastes like raspberries and cures the blues." The actual quote is "His jizz tastes like Pinkberry and cures the blues." Wikipedia does have a page dedicated to the Pinkberry industry so it can be set up with a link, just as the word "raspberries" is linked in the current post. I realize that this seems like a silly and even vulgar topic, but it doesn't do the comedian justice to misquote him. If you do need proof, there is a link on the page to his special. Thank you for reading my request and keep up the good work, Wikipedia.

Kaderwolf (talk) 03:52, 10 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Yellow check.svg Partly done: the source link is not helpful and after spending far too much time walking the Comedy Central site, I have been unable to find the original recording.

Change: "Since 2012, Posehn has hosted a podcast called Nerd Poker, where a group of comedians play Dungeons & Dragons. Co-hosts include comic book writer Gerry Duggan and comedian Blaine Capatch, among others."

To: Since 2012, Posehn has hosted a podcast called Nerd Poker, first on the Earwolf podcast network and then independently (since 2017). In the podcast a group of comedians play tabletop role-playing games (RPGs) initially playing Paizo Publishing's Pathfinder Roleplaying Game and then playing Wizards of the Coast's Dungeons & Dragons (4th edition or 4E and then 5th edition or 5E). Co-hosts include comic book writer Gerry Duggan and comedian Blaine Capatch, among others.
