Confusing, I know. Basically, one of my favorite parts of the show is whenever Tom finishes a long rant with a repetition of a word. For example "Bee movie - that bee looks so smug....etc etc etc." and THEN, "Bees."
I'd love to do a contest entry of these, but it would require an Omar-like mastery of every moment of the archives. So in lieu of that, what are your favorite T.A.R.O.W. (bonus question: what is a better acronym for these)?

This is a GREAT one; definitely one of my favorites. Tom was on a hatin' roll that night: both "no turlets" and "licorice stick" got great reps.
-
hahaha oh god licorice stick!!!

Farce of the Penguins.

Quirky.

This one is a classic. I also like "Joe Torre" from the recent Bigelow debacle.

Can you point me to this episode in the archive?

I'll try and find it. Tom was a little fed up at the umpteenth deluxe edition of the album, and declared that he no longer liked it.

Omar to the rescue! About 2:28:00 on 8/29/2006

DEFINITELY Bees.
-
I liked when he allowed his rage at the Seinfeld movie to boil over and said to the little kid: "That one bee looked like a jerk, right?"
-
I actually have an audio clip that I saved years ago from one of the shows that falls precisely in this category. I just uploaded it to putfile. Enjoy!

Beat me to it!
"Whopper...sir"

I don't know which repetition made me laugh harder: "Whopper" or "Whopper Freakout"
That whole portion about the Whopper Freakout made me laugh so hard, I woke up my daughter by accident (It reached a crescendo at Tom's imitation of the person who did not make the Whopper Freak Out cut).
-
Get me a Whopper!
-
Get me a Whopper!
I laughed out loud again!
Thanks, kenkwan.

the growling ROSS right before the clock beat down story is really great.
-
I know it's not quite the same, but does Tom's occasional latching-on to the phrase, "Proud moments" count?
-
"Gimme a Whopper..."

Spendin' too much money on those counter-bells?

It doesn't count as angry, but I never get tired of Tom's jovial recitation of "Husker Dude?"

"Todd..."

"GET OFF MY PLANE. GET OFF MY PLANE. GET OFF MY PLANE.
Oh sorry my phone's ringing."
That's right, I posted this about ten seconds after it happened. This plus my call tonight are what prove my awesomeness. Awesomeness is the one where you are supposed to wear a paper bag over your head, right?
-
The Harrison Ford ringtone thing totally cracked me up.

Me too - loved it!

Snoochy Boochies.
that is the best one ever and will always be. i defy you to think of something that sounds funnier when said with such utter disdain and contempt.

if that doesn't top snoochie boochies, it's probably about as close as it'll get.
