Title: Favorite Tom angry repetition of word
Post by: senorcorazon on November 27, 2007, 03:40:26 PM
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.

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.

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).
