DangerDummy! posted:Great Best Show last week. Laughed like a jackass at work way too many times. It was great to hear Matt "Toilet Mouth" Walsh again, but the subtle shot at Paul Tompkins was a little sad. I must have missed that. What did he say? Actually, does anyone know what actually happened between Tom and Paul? I am assuming it had something to do with their show? E: Just read more of the thread and it looks like the answer to that is no. Gah. I had no idea there was a Best Show thread here. It's pretty much my favorite thing ever. I haven't missed and episode in like 7 years. veni veni veni fucked around with this message at 02:40 on Apr 4, 2012 |

I have honestly never thought PFT was that funny on his own but I felt like he really brought the best out in Tom. I always looked forward to him being on because there was just something about him that sent Scharpling into overdrive. Sorry I am still enamored with the fact that there is a SA best show thread and I have another queation. How is that Zack guy that Tom hate's band name spelled? MIthamime? I can't find them on google for the life of me.

Nice. He went off on Kevin Smith AND Gene Simmons in the same episode. They are two of my favorite people to hear him rag on. Does anyone remember when Kevin Smith was on the show a few years ago? It was the most hilariously awkward thing I have ever heard and Tom was pretending to be a huge fan. If you haven't heard it I recommend checking i out.

Yeah, it was during a time where Tom was constantly bashing Kevin Smith and regularly going off on tangents about what a talentless fat blob he is. Tom has actually really chilled out on making fun of him since then. I guess AP Mike sort of knows KS because he used to troll him on message boards in the 90's (seriously), which somehow culminated in him calling the show and talking for like an hour while Tom directly contradicts (like intentionally saying the exact opposite) of everything he has ever said about Smith. He even throws Mike under the bus and talks about how he is always trying to get him to realize how good Smith's movies are. Smith is totally unaware that he is the butt of a joke throughout and acts pretty sincere the whole time. You can tell at some point Tom starts to feel bad and realizes the hole he dug himself into. I almost felt kind of bad for KS at some point even though I can't stand the guy. It's one of the weirder episodes out there. Edit: Does anyone know of a good program to listen to the old real audio files on the Mac? The only player I have that will play them is VLC, but for some reason I can't skip around at all in it. veni veni veni fucked around with this message at 03:59 on Apr 7, 2012 |

Thanks. The download wasn't working for me before, but I have it now so don't worry about it. Edit: I just noticed the weirdest thing. When I play the real audio files in my VLC player it plays completely strange poo poo instead of the best show. The first ep I tried to listen to was some old audio of 2 guys talking about vinyl, the second was just some ambient music.

He always seems visibly annoyed (even if it's half joking) when someone curses on the air. I think that Matt Walsh thing happened during the short period where Tom was constantly whining and being a dick to everyone and he flew off the handle.

Unless that's a show reference I don't get He swears all the time on the internet. It's just a joke/him avoiding getting nailed by the FCC. And I am pretty sure his GG Allin love is 90% a joke too like Mickey Dolenz.

Although I enjoy Wurster a lot, it's definitely not my favorite part of the show. For me it's always been about the random tangents and the callers. That's not to say I don't like JW though. Most of his calls are really funny. I will admit to occasionally skipping them if they are going on forever and I am short on time. Also, If anyone wants to listen to an amazing Kevin Smith rant check out July 25, 2006 and skip to two hours in. He just tears him apart so bad. veni veni veni fucked around with this message at 17:54 on Apr 13, 2012 |

I think they jumped the shark on Tuesday. I thought the whole thing was entertaining for a while but they are just being irritating trolls now. It was weird, because it sounded like they genuinely flustered Tom a bit by the end of the show. To be fair Tom has been really mean to that Zach dude since day one though. Their band is really horrible but I think Tom kind of created this monster. In other news, the Chubby Checker thing had me crying. Tom has been on roll with his rants lately. veni veni veni fucked around with this message at 21:56 on Apr 28, 2012 |

GraPar posted:Wurster is on fire lately in my opinion: that epic time-travel call for the 500th was insane (loved the reference to himself too) and I found his call last week the best Philly Boy Roy one in a while (and they're all good). Think I just find any mention of Romney hilarious, plus I will always childishly laugh at Roy saying 'pulled a boner'. The time travel call was definitely one of his best ever.

My new favorite caller is the trashy sounding guy in his 50's that clearly has no idea what is going on. Hearing Tom gently caress with him is completely hilarious and borderline cringeworthy at the same time.

Hey, maybe one of you guys can help me find something I was looking for. It was a call from the little kid Mac and it was/is featured in the Gems podcast. Mac was reading a book about metal and Wurster calls in and fucks with him pretending to be the bassist from some cock rock band that was featured in it. Hilarious call but I can't find it in the gems archive and I know it was there at one point. Those don't get deleted over time right? Also, the ban is long over. We need a new thread title. veni veni veni fucked around with this message at 20:35 on Aug 7, 2012 |

Dr.Radical posted:Didn't he say a few weeks back that they were doing 15 more Best Shows? His tone and the way he said it sounded pretty drat sincere to me. I've heard him talk about quitting plenty of times and this was not like the usual "Geez, I think this is my last show, Mike." Not sure if that 15 more shows thing means he's going to take a break and then do the rest or what, but I don't think that was 15 weeks ago. I mean, he's been doing the show for over 10 years. I don't think it's completely out of the question that he would want to hang it up. This is pretty much why I was saying something about it should be in the op.

Lol Mike managed to out-skeeve out Larry when he started talking about getting horny over Olympic gymnasts. "Dere pretty young dere Mike." That episode was surprisingly good, mostly because Jason,Gregualtor, and Fredricks all called in with good calls. The Bunk posted:I'm hoping Fredericks calls in tonight with news/personal stories about this dude... Ha. he totally did. veni veni veni fucked around with this message at 23:59 on Aug 28, 2012 |

I was getting sick of Gary too, but last weeks show re-sold me on him. Like him or not, If other Best Show gimmicks are any indication, he probably isn't going to be around for more than a few more months. Tom runs poo poo into the ground all of the time then pretty much never mentions it again.
