Today, IFC sent us a bunch of copies of the new Season 5 poster which I'd previously posted here on this thread.
I now have a copy of this hanging by my desk:

Sorry, the ones we received are all spoken for. You could try begging @IFC to make them available for purchase!!

New promo released today from IFC:

This one contains a first look at the type of music Al is playing on the show, though most of the guest introduction music has personalized lyrics that reference the guest by name.

I'd just like to ask everyone with a Twitter account to please tweet to @ComedyBangBang & @IFC (and include @alyankovic, if you like) once season 5 starts on June 3! From my understanding, I think there will even be back to back episodes when it starts - so two episodes every Friday! They're already posting a bunch of stuff about the show, so you could even start tweeting now! CBB tends to like and retweet and reply to a whole lotta tweets in my experience - I get a lot of mentions from both them and IFC! They're surprisingly active for a TV show account, which I love since this actually encourages you to tweet to them even more! Please tweet them your thoughts and feelings about Al on the show (#cbbtv!), they will love it. :)

Also!

I'm thinking once the show starts, I'll (or Jon will or someone will) post new topics for every episode, so we can discuss and review each episode without comments about a certain episode getting lost amongst the others. This is important especially because there will be two episodes a night!! Double the Al, double the fun, double the bang! We will have much to discuss on every episode, I'm sure. :potato:

I know Jon is the one who actually works there (along with Drew and Heather and others who aren't forum members (yet)), but I've appointed myself the position of (un)Official CBB Advocate which means I get to tell you all this. :gaga: I do it for the love of the show!! Please be sure to know how much you love the show as well! :D They're currently doing a thing where they watch and livetweet past episodes of the show every Friday at 11pm, I think as a way to gear up for maybe doing it for when season 5 starts (I hope!!!), and they also do polls on which episode they should watch and livetweet during the week. If you haven't really seen the show, watching along with them would be a good way to jump right in! Even if you have seen the show, watching along with them and tweeting them about the episode is a good time as well. I actually really love that they do this, and consistently. It's a really special thing for a TV show account to do since it's not live TV or anything, just Netflix. I don't know, I really like it.

Anyway, please tweet them. They love tweets. So much. My baby CBB. ^_^

And now, some gifs:

I've asked CBB/IFC to please make ALL OF THE GIFS of Al. Hopefully they will make more than me!

I'm really excited for this season. I'm a lazy freak who watches CBBC (which is full of crappy, cheesy children's programmes but the cheesiness is why I watch it) so this'll be a good change in my life. With 12 year old kids watching Family Guy it's surely acceptable for me to watch Comedy Bang Bang, isn't it? It's time I became a Heynong Man instead of being an Yankovictim. As a result, I'm leaving this forum. BYE!!!!
YO WE'RE JUST KIDDING WOOOH
aaaa

Yes, I think they are about the same level of lewdness. CBB usually gets a TV-14 rating. The word "smurf" airs uncensored a few times per episode, but the more extreme curse words are bleeped out.
