Episode 323: Queen of Filth

Original air date: October 19, 2026

Episode overview

Bingo opens with Auntie Acid and Halfway, Oh Hi!, welcoming several visiting hobbit friends. A photograph involving Bingo Greenplum and the Greenplum Players prompts hatfield_’s Buttercup joke and the title “Queen of Filth.” After singing for Katie’s upcoming birthday, Bingo reports that a new Boppy issue is out and that he made $21.50 at Zincinnati. He promotes the MVCC Halloween Spooktacular and requests scary stories and childhood fears for next week. Poor Bingo considers passing time and unrealized plans, while the Weekly Kewpie Award honors theorbhasit’s donated monitors and mounting arm.

Between segments, Bingo describes his unwritten Argyle Pete and the January Sisters story and watches Carist’s Gilmore Girls soundboard discovery. I Like That features @nathanialpov’s improvised saxophone videos. Hey Watch It discusses Shifting Gears, including Nate Hill’s music editing, before recommending Nathan Fielder’s You Can See Everything without plot spoilers. Count Dracula interrupts Is Bingo Stupid? with a character call about Boggle and The Monster Squad. Bingo then completes three Super Mario quiz cards without a new demerit.

Rank’em Up is initially delayed while Eric prepares the game, so Bingo revisits Know What I Zine?! He enjoys Tasty Treat #1’s demon-mask friendship, abandons No Commercial Value #3’s diagram-heavy commentary, and reads a small moon-and-sea zine whose art he likes more readily than he understands its poetry. When the game is ready, he ranks Purrloin, Onix, Dottler, and Golett. Steve requests a Cobra Kai cat, and Dwibbins calls with drawing suggestions, Disney television memories, workplace-burnout discussion, wordplay, and plans for a California holiday. The cat earns 4.57 stars and the bonus before Bingo feeds Scooty and saves.

Pack Attack chooses Grossville High over Dick Tracy. Bingo finds the old gum stuck to a card and objects to several of the pack’s jokes and caricatures. Merkinsocks wins Name That Name from 30 subscribers, receiving the cards and gum, halfwayokay stickers, and Monday’s Auntie Acid page. Bingo closes by renewing the request for material for the Halloween episode.
