Bad Friends Clips

Hosted by Bad Friends

Comedians Bobby Lee and Andrew Santino navigate their chaotic friendship through antagonistic banter, outrageous stories, and interviews with friends.

The brief

This show is a weekly window into the chaotic friendship of two working comedians. It's less of a structured podcast and more of a recorded hangout session, where absurd personal confessions (like trying to dye a pool with coffee) and theories (like living in a simulation) are treated as normal conversation starters.

The show's defining feature is the hosts' authentically antagonistic chemistry; it's a tightrope walk between genuine affection and escalating one-upmanship. Bobby Lee's surreal vulnerability and bizarre anecdotes create a unique dynamic against Andrew Santino's sharper, more grounded comedic style.

What you'll be asked on this show

How Bad Friends interviews

When a guest is present, the show forgoes a traditional interview structure for a group conversation. The hosts and guest trade stories, often about shared experiences in the comedy industry. Probing happens through friendly roasting and follow-up questions to outrageous claims ('Is that true?'), aiming to elicit funnier, more embarrassing details rather than deep insights.

The format is a loose, co-hosted conversation that frequently involves producers and crew as targets for jokes. Episodes mix guest appearances with host-only chats. The comedy is built on escalating riffs, personal stories, and reacting to videos or situations in the studio.
