I don't know why her boyfriend waited 18 years to propose, and finally got married when she was 39 and had a brain tumor.

That feeling when he opens
the door for you
Is it too late for me to rank my favorite wack pack, too late.

5. Original Bigfoot; I was obsessed with this guy before I even started listening to the show. I just kept seeing him show up in movies and tv and remember being confused and amazed with his career.
4. Wendy; She has never failed to make me laugh when she comes on air. She's amazing.
3. New Bigfoot; This guy has a nightmare of a life, and I listen to every new update with shock.
2. Riley Martin; Awesome voice, incredible life, great gimmick.
1. Beet; Reigning King of the Wack Pack.

SUCK A MALE CAMEL'S DICK WITH MIRACLE WHIP!!
Wackpack top five:

1 Hank: everything he did was gold: "GO HAVE SEX WITH JESUS CHRIST YOU human being"!!
2 Bigfoot: "So when you have sex with your girlfriend Danielle, she just holds her penis out of the way"? ... "She hold it out of the way it is"
3 Gary The Retard: He's just a lovable guy
4 ETM: I guess I'm like the stern haters they mentioned in Private Parts. Hated him, but wanted to hear what he said next. Also loved it when they completely antagonized him...... Zero. Point. ZERO.
5 Daniel Carver: I disagree with pretty much everything he says, but...... gently caress, he's entertaining in some weird way that I can't explain.

Honorable mention: High Pitch Eric. Jesus christ he's a human cockroach. I guess when I listen to his hosed up poo poo, I can feel better about myself.

I kinda feel like you have to be an older listener to appreciate him since he wasn't around much in the Sirius years. Kinda like how most of us prefer Hank over ETM.

1 Hank: He could be near-death drunk, and still kick Gary's rear end at Rock And Roll trivia... WHILE being hilarious.

2 The Beet: just love this guy, how can you not love him?

3 Sour Shoes: most laughs I've gotten out the show for a long time now

4 Ronnie Mund: possibly the most dysfunctional staffer, keeps trying to think, but nothing happens.

5 Angry Alice: Easily one of the most sympathetic whack packers, but hilarious when she gets cranked up.

Honorable mentions go to: Sal, Kenneth Keith Kallenbach, Elephant Boy, Wendy, Daniel Carver.

He had an on air meltdown after Howard was busting his balls for chasing married women on Tinder and pretending to be younger than he actually is to find them. He ended up leaving the studio and hiding in the bathroom so they would leave him alone.

He has been on one time since the meltdown and they goofed on it for a few seconds but then moved on to whatever topic it was he was presenting.

I was never a fan. I enjoyed some of the calls they used his voice on, and he had a few good appearances, but thats it IMO.

For me rating the wack pack boils down to repeatability.
The thing with most wack pack bits is that they are good for a listen or two, but then just become sad and or annoying.

So based on that, Sour Shoes has the most replay value for me, followed by ETM then Hank.
Hank had such a short run tho, that the material is very limited...but each appearance is a home run.

Also a short run, but good replay value is the Jesus Twins.

Jesus Twins first appearance is lightning in a bottle. Incredible. Has to be one of the best guest entrances in show biz history: "This is the only show where you gotta get past a stutterer, a monkey, and a gorilla to get into the studio. Hey Crackhead, get outta here."

This is exactly how I feel. A good wack packer bit is the depth of it all. Ironically enough, Eric's 12 year saga of acting, lying, complaining, quitting, and rejoining the show was always way better than a silly one-off goof with Crackhead Bob or someone similar.

Sidenote: Did anyone notice that Rahsaan wasn't on the Wrap Up Show today? They didn't mention him either. I wonder if he was kicked off the show or fired? Usually the less they mention the more is going on.

I couldn't agree more. I hated whenever they brought in John the Stutterer because it was the exact same bit each time and it went on forever (though I do appreciate his rock star hair.)

5. - Crazy Alice - Her fights with Artie were amazing. Also - the time she called Jackie a bald human being and Fred nearly died laughing.
4. - Riley - The negotiations bit was overdone towards the end but he was usually a home run whenever he came on.
3. - Bigfoot - Always amazing whenever they brought him in.
2. - ETM: Yeah it was mostly Fratto's shtick to get on the air, but it was entertaining as hell.
1. - Sour Shoes: So many songs have been ruined for me because I now think of the Sour version, like "I was made for loving Steve Langford"

reddit speculation seems to be he got let go around Christmas. Apparently he used to have show/Sirius-related stuff on his Twitter profile that is no longer there. He was abysmally bad and never seemed to get the show, it's a rare net gain for the show in this aspect.

Those are the same Reddit speculators who swore they had double secret information that Scott Salem was fired.

The Rahsaan thing might be totally true (Gary/Marci will have to find someone to do Sternthology but probably any intern could do that job) but Reddit gets things wrong just as often as they are right.

I use Reddit but they're a bunch of idiots.

I'm not positive he had any Sirius related info on his Twitter. I believe if he was taken off the air, he still works for Sirius. I did appreciate that he never seemed to blindly agree with Howard's opinion like 100% of the rest of the staff.

Once I start to smell the writers "helping" a show character with their bit, I get disinterested pretty quickly, and with a lot of the Wack Packers, there have been calls/bits where the premise is so obviously cooked up by someone in the back office.

The thing that is so pure and wonderful about Eric is that to believe any of it's fake (other than the weird Johnny Fratto period where they had him saying anything to get on the air and plug his ventures), you'd basically have to buy into him pulling an Andy Kaufman-esque grand facade, even going so far as to tank his appearances on actual television shows.

A lot of Eric was fake, my dude. And his Fratto period lasted most of his time on the show, he hooked up with Fratto before they even went to satellite if I remember correctly.

The realest stuff about Eric was when they would offer him things that would impact him in real life and he'd gently caress up the decision (flying with balloons, the Emmys, acting gigs, etc). Stuff like calling in the hit was enormously fake and dreamed up by Fratto, it was just funny because of how Eric would stumble through them and try to make it seem serious and real. Again, this is why I never hated on Fratto because he was the puppeteer behind a ton of funny poo poo with Eric. Eric was far too dull and uncreative to ever be like that on his own, Fratto knew what to do (!) to make him funny.
