That means that we can finally and assuredly post our <strong>100 Best Things in Comedy We Were Witness To In No Particular Order in 2012</strong> without worrying if we were going to miss a really great joke at some New Year’s Eve Party (full disclosure: we worked on New Year’s Eve instead of partying in order to get this list ready). There are some repeats because some people like <strong>Louis C.K.</strong> and <strong>Kyle Kinane</strong> are probably going to make our list for something every year, but plenty of new things that you might have overlooked here at The Comedy Bureau.</p> <p>So, now enjoy our favorite comedians, albums, specials, sketches, podcasts, tweets, shows, festivals, moments, etc. from the past year.</p> <p>1. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JPOKkwCLVSQ" target="_blank">Jon Dore and Rory Scovel make a tradition</a> out of doing something amazing on <strong>Conan</strong> with their latest appearance/interruption.</p> <p>2. <a href="http://twitter.com/chrisgethard" target="_blank">Chris Gethard</a> not only has <a href="http://thechrisgethardshow.com" target="_blank">one of the best shows</a> being broadcasted despite its public access format, but he also got <a href="http://www.ifc.com/adopt-a-comic-2/videos/adopt-a-comic-chris-gethard" target="_blank">adopted by IFC</a>, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UmV78CGKaz0" target="_blank">hitchhiked to Bonnaroo</a>, and has kept an amazing <a href="http://thechrisgethardshow.tumblr.com" target="_blank">Tumblr</a> answering almost any question asked of him whether it be about <a href="http://thechrisgethardshow.tumblr.com/post/39227790857/for-gethard-badsandwich-asks-how-do-i-stop-trying-to" target="_blank">comedy</a> or <a href="http://thechrisgethardshow.tumblr.com/post/31345619495/for-gethard-anonymous-asks-gethard-i-know-youve" target="_blank">feeling better about life in general</a>.</p> <p><a href="http://twitter.com/chrisgethard" target="_blank"><img alt="image" src="http://media.tumblr.com/2707ee15f32f6b547f24c9ecda293e11/tumblr_inline_mfz1ehCWEW1qdivgo.jpg" width="600"/></a></p> <p>3. <a href="https://twitter.com/nachosarah" target="_blank">Sarah Beattie/@nachosarah</a> was one of our favorite Twitter accounts this year with biting self-deprecating humor “I just dropped a steak on the floor and declared that it was ground beef why the fuck am I single”</p> <p>4. <a href="http://moderncomedian.tumblr.com" target="_blank">Modern Comedian</a> by <a href="https://twitter.com/scottmoran9876/" target="_blank">Scott Moran</a> is hands down one of the best looks into the process of comedy, especially since they’re looking into the comedic processes of <strong>Kurt Braunohler, Ben Kronberg, Todd Glass, Rory Scovel</strong>, and more.</p> <p>5. <a href="http://www.toddglass.com" target="_blank">Todd Glass</a> had one of the <a href="http://www.wtfpod.com/podcast/episodes/episode_245_-_todd_glass" target="_blank">most amazing episodes of WTF! w/Marc Maron</a> by coming out as gay as well as making his podcast <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-todd-glass-show/id456835323" target="_blank">The Todd Glass Show</a> one of the funnest experiences to listen to and also had one of our favorite moments of the year with handling a heckler by saying, “I believe in you.

And they’re important questions, because we can have all the theory we want in our heads, but if we don’t know how to put that theory into action in rehearsal, we’ll never be able to transform and refine our play. </p> </blockquote> <p>A need to read for all Denver improvisers.
