continuing with gene simmons, let's not forget "poncake"
-
"Fontasy," etc., don't really qualify as malapropisms.
-
Perhaps the thread should be retitled to the more encompassing "Wursterisms" -- if I recall correctly, there was a robust thread of this name on the old board.

I figured with the Wursterisms thread of old and the entry in the FOTpedia we could go with another angle, but whatever.
-
and... "to all intensive purposes"
i thought it was a caller that said this. and also "nip it in the butt". to which tom was like "you're lying. you've never heard someone say that. get off my phone." except i actually have heard someone say it.
-
Protrein Drinks
-
I recently saw this typed on another message board and figured it would be a perfect Wursterism, until a fellow FOT informed me it has been used: Someone said something "passed mustard" instead of "passed muster."
I don't recall when it was used by Jon, but if anyone knows, let me know.

-
"I'm a humanitarium!"
-
I was reminded of this thread Saturday night when I was taking a break in the Middle East's downstairs room during Valient Thorr's set. I was only there for the end of one song and the beginning of another, but the banter of the lead singer was epic. Best line: "A lot of things change! Taste buds change!"
-
PBR: "...a day that will live in infantry."
-
And as Don King says, "Why can't we all get along?"

Album Otter
Rich Hall Will Hit Y'all.
I get "album otter" (alma mater) but "Rich Hall will hit y'all?" I can't for the life of me think what that refers to. Lil' help?
P.S. Remember Onion World? I know I watched it and liked it but the only memory I have of it is a Rich putting a puppet (Poppy?) in a washing machine. Anyway.....

-
"Idiotocracy"
-
"Idiotocracy"
more of a Scharpling Malapropism right?
-
Also, Bob's understanding of "jumping the shark"
and... "to all intensive purposes"
What's sad is, especially here in L.A. people use "Old Timer's Disease," "For all intensive purposes," and "step foot in ...(not a Wurster Malapropism, but the correct phrase is "set foot in")" all the time and don't even realize they're making mistakes.
-
"It would have to be syrup tissues"
-
Persona au gratin.
-
man, those two tonight had me grabbin' my sides. syrup tissues. spectacular.
-
May you be natorial...
-
"Idiotocracy"
more of a Scharpling Malapropism right?
I made that distinction in the subject line, figuring it'd be better to include Tom's malapropisms in this thread than to start a new one.
Here's another one - Anton Churg.

"The Night They Drove Old Dick C. Down"
"Levon Helmet"
-
Historyonics
-
paste maker!

"The Night They Drove Old Dick C. Down"
That might be my new favorite. Realizing where that was going a little after Cavett's name was mentioned, but just before they made it clear...oh man, still laughing.
-
Abbot N. Costello
-
"The Night They Drove Old Dick C. Down"

Yeah, this was awesome. Just the idea of a classic rock song about Dick Cavett makes me laff.
-
Abbot N. Costello
"What album, My Aim Is True?"
His mention of The Exorcist II was kinda creepy only because I referenced it in a post yesterday as well.
Paranormal. :o
-
Sean and Freud. My new favorite.
-
Gold balloons.
Ungrate.
Rueben's Cube.
And I wish "crackaddictionary much" was one, but it was probably unintentional.

Arm and Geddy on

Dr. Jonas Brothers
"Crack a talk-show much?"
That slew me! :D

Yeah, Todd Palin threw out about hundred malapropisms. But that one definitely had the most forethought.

-
Kirk Hamlet from Metallica
Some Kind of Mobster
Joe Vitamin (return appearance)

Didn't Todd Palin call Spoony "Spooky"?
-
I thought Tom called Spoony Spooky.
-
PBR: I thought he was gonna reach right out and damn me to Hellos.
-
"That's just a formalicy"
It took me a good 15 seconds to remember that the actual word is "formality", and I still googled it before making this post.
-
Didn't Todd Palin call Spoony "Spooky"?
yes. and its so nonchalant.
-
he probably saw the moustache photos, which are indeed spooky.
-
made a short list:
"Button down the hatches"
"Piper Cup"
"Mellow Maniac"
"he he he ose"
"The Loneliest Monk"

Conehead O'Brien

There were so many golden nuggets in that last Philly Boy Roy call, but my favorite was something like:
"Not for a lack of camplaignin'."

Impleachment!

Andy Warball
-
Metallica bassist Rob Tru-hee-hoe.
"American Idol" judge Simeon Cowell.
-
From the Roger Devlin call (currently on the Best Show Vault):
INSANE CLOWN POSSUM
(That would be a much better band, don't you think?)
-
"American Idol" judge Simeon Cowell.
It's funnier spelled "Simian."

I'm sure I heard Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Jest in Hammerhead's call.
-
I'm sure I heard Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Jest in Hammerhead's call.
Yeah, Tom didn't react though he said it twice, right?
-
is it just me, or is jon wurster the funniest human being on the planet?
-

Good catch -- I missed this and had the correct title in the recap. I will malapropitize it.
-
Bandanna Republic
-
Since Tom's malaproposims seem to be in fair play, I will suggest "mayubanotorial" and "Warren Buffet (bu-FEY)". Also, didn' a Wurster character do something with "Celestine Prophecy" recently? I don't remember what.

Brock Peuchk
"It is the 2007s"
"Looks like somebody needs to go back and read the beard again."
Tom: "Who's the beard?"
Brock: "Shakespeare you dunce!

Tom: "That's Colonel Sanders!"
And as mentioned, "the winter of our discotheque" kills me!!

Persona au gratin.

I know this thread isn't quite the right place for it, but I feel the obvious relevance of this to Philly Boy Roy needs to be brought to the attention of the FOT:
A milkshake "made of vanilla ice cream blended with TastyKake Butterscotch Krimpets" (http://www.seriouseats.com/2009/08/cake-shake-from-squareburger-in-philadelphia-pa.html)
I don't care what the review says... eww.

PBR would probably prefer a shake made with Yuengling instead of vanilla ice cream.

After listening to the Jock Squad call (from The Art of the Slap) way too much, I keep finding myself pronouncing "epitome" as "epp-ee-tome" (as in Tom being the "ep-ee-tome of a padinski") and I've started to get funny looks.
(edit: grammer and stuph)
-
Listening to 2008 and this is from the first show of 2008:
"Happy belabored hoagie-days, Tom!"
-
The September 9, 2008 episode with Philly Boy Roy is malapropism-rich.
Among the many...
"It's tannenbaum to treason."
"I'm a ferocious reader."
"It took me two weeks to mesmerize 'em."
-
Brock Peuchk
"It is the 2007s"

And as mentioned, "the winter of our discotheque" kills me!!
I heard "The winter of our discotheque" the other day for the first time. That, combined with "The Beard," was too much.
-

That phrase entered my personal lexicon in a big way. Love it!

I think he actually said "No pond Nintendo."
he actually began saying no pun intended, then switched over to no pond nintendo.
What show was this?
I thought of this today and wanted to listen to it and could not narrow down who said it.

True, true. That establishment received an impressive 4-bar rating! So, no, it wasn't a malapropism. I just couldn't find a better place to post this. As funny as it was, it probably wasn't the best moment of the show.

oh, and for sure I'm just being a fathead, Wurster was awesome throughout - the whole thing with Bryce realizing he was in the lean-to the entire time? Ridiculous. This was just a really solid, funny show up down and sideways.

Not a malapropism, but from this week's Gems:
