TheLakers posted:Has Stern or Levy mentioned anything about another roast? That's about the only thing that'd get me to listen again. I'm pretty sure Levy is dead to the show now. I can't even remember what it was about, but Levy was talking a lot of poo poo on some podcast or web show.

I'm listening to the first week at Sirius for the first time. My god, is that not one of the funniest weeks they've ever done? JD losing his virginity and the crew ripping on JD for about a hour, George Takei falling for the Arnold Schwarzenegger impersonator not once but twice, the constant sexual tension and jokes between Artie and George, everyone trying to figure out who had which revelation, Fred going berserk on Howard, messing with George using the fake George Takei audio clips.. quote:Fun With George Takei Audio Clips. 01/12/06. 6:05am When the week is over, I may have to listen to it again. Why don't they try to put George in the Artie chair?

Are there any funny/edgy comics that frequent the show anymore (other than Gilbert)? Although, Artie goofing on Levy was the best thing about having Levy on the show in the first place.

Did the whole break off with Levy start even earlier? I remember Howard got made out the obscene number of plugs at the end of the show. Then Levy went off about not being paid for miserable men. I thought the rift really started then.

One of my favorite things about the first Sirius year is the horrible Bob Levy song parodies. "yell like pee" proved that he was at least mildly retarded.

I remember there was a "Levy wants to plug something on the show for fifteen minutes" and they said no and he ranted on Miserable Men that Howard thought people like rear end Napkin Ed were more important than him. Howard then said he was going to stop all of Levy's plugs that they did everyday because he was so pissed. This was in the middle of 2008.

kazmeyer posted:No, it was (apparently) the real guy. And it was funny, but predictable. I really wonder why. Fred used to lay into Eric the Living Turd in a hilariously harsh way, in some cases much more harshly than Artie. To hear absolutely nothing from Fred is just offputting, especially when Eric is rolling right over the show when he bothers to come on. Why the gently caress is Eric the Midget given so much respect? The joke is so over and done that I doubt even Fratto really bothers anymore.

I was relistening to a lot of that stuff last night, George Takei in particular is comedy gold. Lately I find myself missing the conflict towards the end at K-Rock. The tension over the dump button, wondering who was going to cross the line taking shots at Tom, Howard being in a foul mood all the time. The early Sirius stuff was great, but the show lost something once Howard had complete control and no more FCC to worry about.

-Atom- posted:Jason Ellis let it slip once that all the stunts he's done on the Stern show were bits Levy had pitched to the show. Bob's a pretty loathsome human being, but I definitely think they could have treated him better for all that he did for the show. The Levy breakdown over not being booked on the show to promote something was what led to the insane "gently caress YOU GARY" rant. Levy called in the next day to apologize, and you could practically hear him staring at his shoes the whole time. I feel like they gave him a raw deal sometimes, but another fake celebrity boxing match promo was the last loving thing the show needed. The big break-up was over the end of show plugs going on waaay too loving long. Miserable Men wasn't a very good show, but the last two months of Bob's stay there were pretty fun, with them spending every week trying to push Bob into meltdown. They did pretty good job of it, really.

First hour was good, some rants from Howard, including a recap of the water in his parent's basement debacle. Second hour was Howard hammering on Ronnie for being a drunken idiot at strip club appearances. Honestly, that has gotten old for me... we all know how stupid and unfunny Ronnie is, so nothing new comes up. EDIT: Birthday Cake posted:I want to believe it's some sort of elaborate joke site. All is forgiven because he hosts a bunch of the KC songs on his site: http://www.trainwithkc.com/SONGS.html Squashy Nipples fucked around with this message at 15:19 on Sep 6, 2011 |

DangerDummy! posted:Bob's a pretty loathsome human being, but I definitely think they could have treated him better for all that he did for the show. I get the feeling that Levy's loathsomeness was used as a way to justify not paying him in cash. It's a good way to get his comedy that works and walk away from poo poo that doesn't. All a way to enable on the cheap. That said, despite Artie's slamming of him, Levy walking away from a lovely-paying gig in his defense (if it was honest) was being a better friend than Artie was during the last few years on the show.

I don't know if that's a noise thing, or a these people don't know how to walk thing.

Personally, I really don't like the word "breakfast". I don't have any problem reading it, or saying it to myself. But when other people say the word to me, the sound just makes me cringe. I can't explain why. I remember on the show earlier in the year when they were goofing on Gary eating his eggs in the morning. It was hilarious but and I had to turn the radio off because I couldn't stand Howard repeatedly saying 'breakfast'. I still feel a bit anxious when I think about it for awhile. Weird stuff.

Long as we are sharing, I have a thing about breathing through the mouth. Can't stand it. Howard's Dad does THE most annoying thing - he gets that dry mouth and he smacks his lips. It was really bad the time they did their own show at the start of Sirius. (Or, as my mother in law likes to call it, "Sire-us" - speaking of things that annoy us)

Hey you stomping elephant mutant, walk on the balls of your feet, not on your fat heels like a fat loving frankenstein.  (Although this did remind me of one of my favorite moments in recent show memory, where Artie sums up Buffy the Vampire Slayer as "Jew Broad. Kills Draculas.")

My sister can't stand the word "moist", which I always thought was weird but was disappointed when I read something recently and that's one of the most hated words in the English language. It's so abnormal to be disturbed that much by a word(that isn't something like an offensive word) and I just can't understand it. She has no explanation, it's almost like her brain is just wired wrong or something. I guess I'd get it if I had a similar tic but I just don't.

I'm sure they're not the first people to point it out or anything (I don't think very many people ever watched that drat show), but that was definitely the first time I'd heard it. e: My mom is legit terrified of clowns.

Being at the emotional/intellectual level of a 6 year old doesn't make you unique or interesting.
