Title: My Five year old son's Best Show fascination.
Post by: orangewhip on February 22, 2008, 08:43:13 PM
He likes doing impersonations of Philly Boy Roy, Horse, and Timmy Von Trimble.
He says "Whuuuuuuuuuuut?" all the time.
Tonight I was listening to The Dead Milkmen, I think it's the first time he's heard them.  I'm listening to "Punk Rock Girl" and he shouts out "I know who's singing this! Philly Boy Roy!!"

Play him "Stuart" and tell him to figure out the Best Show reference.

Your son sounds like a lot of fun. I don't know if I'd be able to handle a 5-year old saying "What, whuuuuut?" to me.

Bruce, is that a Black Sabbath Vol. 4 8-track in your avatar pic?

Although not as schooled in the ways of The Best Show, Orangwhip, my 4-year-old son is saying "Whaaat?" in that high-pitched Tom way when something makes no sense.

We gotta get these kids together. Put a few mics in the room and we may have a future Scharpling and Wurster. If not, we'll at least be deeply disturbed at what we've done to our children.

Five year old kid listening to the Best Show?  I say he's off to a good start!  He'll probably grow up to be a really cool kid.

On the Dead Milkmen note, he's not one of the kids on Youtube dancing to "RC's Mom (Gonna Beat My Wife)", is he?  That clip is hilarious.

When he becomes an FOT, his handle should be God's Kid Brother.

Your 5 year old son does an impersonation of Timmy Von Trimble?  Aren't you afraid of turning him into a tiny racist?  (OK, not as tiny as TVT, but still...)

he mostly just likes to re-enact the conversation about getting inside the slinky, being "2", and pooping in a thimble.  he knows that timmy is a creep.

My kid just turned three. . .he's been saying " Byyyyyyy Mennenn!!!"  for nearly half his life. He's been a FOT for about 1/4 of his life. No PBR impersonations, or Dead Milkmen liking, but he calls all music that isn't Baby Einstein "Oneida music".

my kid likes to make prank calls and stuff to a friend of mine.  i just helped him leave a video of him saying "hey jeremy, go shopping for a coffin!" on his facebook page.  i then left a link to a coffin store website.

If your son is going to be participating in shenanigans of that sort, I'd advise you to start teaching him the ghoul voice right now.

what, you think he did it in something BESIDES the ghoul voice?

My three month old son has listened with me almost every week since he was born. He likes Laurie, Bryce, and the ghoul voice.

I listen with my kids every (ages 10 and 3) week. It's family entertainment you can trust. The other day in the car we just started saying "whaaaaaaaaaaat" back and forth for like 10 minutes. "Wait, whaaaaaaaat?"

  I picked up Super Smash Brothers Brawl for the Wii and he LOVES it.  He (with a little help from me) decided that Philly Boy  Roy should be a playable character in the game.  His moves would include steakchucks, spraying people with Franks soda, throwing ring bologna, and putting his opponents into giant hoagies.  There would also be an assist trophy that causes Timmy Von Trimble to drive his hotwheel around the screen and take out you opponents.  Now I really wish this could actually happen.

My six and four year old sons also love Philly Boy Roy- or more the idea of him than actually listening to the calls. They've come up with their own "Running of the Cheese Steaks" game (no help from me, honest) in which I'm PBR and they chase me around the back yard, throwing "cheese steaks" (empty water bottles) at me.

My wife's 7 months pregnant. We started playing TBSOW podcasts to the baby since month 5 and  it's already a big fan of PBR.

I don't listen to the Show with the kids - they're mostly too young but lately when we're getting ready to do something fun I ask my three year old "If he's strapped in" and then "If he's got his helmet on." 

We were getting ready to go swimming last weekend and he was running around the house screaming "I've got my helmet on, Daddy!" over and over. The missus gave me one of those "I don't even want to know" looks.
