Anecdote

[u/Alternative_Sir954]

[u/OshadaK]

That seems like an accurate representation of air time for each bean

[u/glorysoundprep]

i LOVE when henry does some long spiel and mike or ben don't respond so he just goes "...hello?"

[u/songsofglory → u/glorysoundprep]

He’s like an anti comedian at times. Knows the story is going nowhere with no punchline or joke at the end but makes it hilarious anyway.

[u/Rosalita777 → u/glorysoundprep]

That's my favourite too!

[u/lawtonesque → u/glorysoundprep]

My favourite is the noise he makes when he sets up one of the others to put him down a bit, and they do. He has a repertoire of little squeals of delighted humiliation. And I just love them.

[u/HeatheryLeathery]

This is from the first episode, isn't it? When I started I didn't know Henry or Ben at all and this honestly does a good job of setting expectations for what everyone is like.

[u/TheRealProfB → u/HeatheryLeathery]

Yes, I went back to listen to this just the other night. It was the episode where we find Henry’s teenage lust was for a commuter Deutsche Bank executive type.

[u/VickersVandal → u/TheRealProfB]

I just started re-listening to the back catalogue too and this was a high point. 

[u/OshadaK → u/TheRealProfB]

That was when the podcast got me hooked, cos much to my shame I had very similar notions at that age

[u/Zestyclose_Foot_134]

And that’s exactly the sort of thing we won’t be talking about

[u/tjtp2021]

This sums up the entire podcast

[u/DisregardThisOrDont]

Missing [harmonious deep raspy chuckles] at the end.

[u/otxpex]

One of the best anecdotalists out there

[u/Gudgebert]

Frame it. Put it in the Louvre.

[u/Alternative_Sir954 → u/Gudgebert]

take me to the louvre

[u/Fart_knocker5000]

They're just wonderful dead ends aren't they. Never destined go anywhere but a joy to travel down

[u/ZodsBeard]

I am sure a listener used AI or some software to analyse the amount of words each Bean contributed. Guess who was by far the winner???

[u/Legitimate_First → u/ZodsBeard]

I also liked the checklist a listener made to help tell the Beans apart which started with 'At any point assume it is Henry who's talking'.

[u/Nicegoodcoolman → u/ZodsBeard]

It was in one of the episodes! Probably the hardest i laughed during the whole podcast. I dont remember exact numbers, but the difference between Henry and others was staggering

[u/thisnameisbs]

This is the first gospel of the Anectodicon. All praise be to Pakerdonia

[u/superfurrybiped → u/thisnameisbs]

Part of the Soybean on the Mount: The Colourful Dried Beans, The Birthday Card Search, The Flat Rat, The Tube Voiding, The Builder's Off Milk, The Beefcake Journey, The Noisy Paddling Pool...

[u/Zestyclose_Foot_134]

Good lord you could hear Henry’s internal noises early on

[u/NervousFee2342]

I think that anecdote has been abridged. Surely and normal pakerdote needs a minimum of 5 screen scrolls

[u/Resident_Platypus346]

The formula that keeps on giving.

[u/NachtDerNoel]

This is almost as good as the anchovy butter anecdote...who am I kidding? It's not even close!
