Comedy Bang! Bang! is a television series created and hosted by Scott Aukerman, featuring his co-host/bandleader Reggie Watts. The show airs weekly on IFC and is a spin-off of his successful podcast Comedy Bang Bang which airs on the Earwolf network. Like the podcast, the series features outlandish and farcical humor, often delivered in a deadpan manner.
The show features celebrity guests playing either themselves or characters. Many of these celebrities were previous guests on the Comedy Bang Bang podcast who revisit characters from the podcast, such as Don Dimello (Andrew Daly) and El Chupacabra (Nick Kroll).
Reggie Watts provides all of the music on the show including the theme song and interstitial music.

Reggie shares the song he wrote for Scott. Guy Benoit (Thomas Lennon) recommends wine throughout the show. Scott plays a game called "Tsk Tsk, Attaboy!" in which people on the street are presented with different scenarios (a man dropping his wallet or a crying baby locked inside a car) to see how they react. Scott and Zach Galifianakis discuss their favorite ways to laugh. Zach imagines what it would be like if dogs could talk. Danny Mahoney (Andrew Daly) stops by to promote his new business in which he comes to your party and acts as the "life of the party." Scott feeds his parking meter.

The episode is dedicated to Carl Langer, a crew member who died during the filming of the episode (though he shows up throughout the show in increasingly dangerous situations). Reggie and Scott describe the strange dreams they had about each other. Scott and Amy Poehler discuss her behavioral issues and the MAD Magazine parody of Parks and Recreation. Don Dimello (Andrew Daly) stops by to discuss his upcoming production of "Pinocchio." Scott goes to pick up his dry cleaning while Mr. Doublebutt (David Koechner) fills in as substitute host. Reggie premieres the trailer for his film "A Womb of One's Own", in which he plays an inattentive father who wishes he had never been born and then finds himself back in his mother's womb.
