It cracks me up when Tom loses it mid bit. I think the first conversation with Marky Ramone is the funniest. Marky tells him he's gonna (gawna) beat out the intro to Teenage Lobotomy on his butt...his naked butt, and Tom lost it, had to go off mic for a second and compose himself. It also happened during the first trial of Petey when he was pretending to be listeners voting guilty. John lost it when, as Gene Simmons, Tom had him repeat the word, "Fontasy", over and over. You can actually hear the smile on his face. That stuff cracks me up.
The best one that stands out in my memory is the first time Zeph Marshack called in. It sounded as if Jon spontaneously pulled this character out of his ass during the whole Poster Children debacle, and surprised Tom when he called in as the character. One of the rare times when Tom totally "lost it" during a bit.This is why the Poster Children shows killed. Between Zeph and "the Soaker," they were masterpieces of spontaneity.
I can't seem to find their appearances either, could someone help me out? Tom didn't really "lose it", but Keith Kincaid got him pretty good when he reveals that Bryce caught the fox in the woods. The closest JW ever came to totally losing it is Montgomery Davies.
Could someone tell me the first time that Zeph calls in? I only heard the september 26th show where it seemed like he returned? Sorry, I'm kind of a new fan still....still catching up.

I can't seem to find these guys either. Could someone help me out? It sounds really funny. Sorry again for my ignorance.
I think I've found the ultimate "Tom Laffs" bit.
Go listen to the November 29, 2005 "Jimmy Crespo" bit...a completely improvised Wurster character, and you can hear Tom literally laffing on the floor throughout the entire bit.
Petey 4.0 - quite possibly the best one ever.
the oddest stifled laughter I ever head

HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHHAHA! :D
Petey 4.0 and Zachary B are easy to find here:

Nov. 1/05 for Petey 4.0
Nov. 28/00, Apr.3/01 + June 20/06 for Zachary.
I would be surprised if Jon had anything to do with Petey 4.0 -- to me, that sounded like a completely unplanned surprise for Tom -- and it was hilarious which explains why he is laughing so much! And that guy (and his faffer) should phone back, at the very least to annoy Petey.
Jon was Petey from the future from another episode, though.
Tom cracked himself up pretty good on last night's show. Check it out. It's at the 44:12 mark. You have to listen past Michael K. from the Cynics, but you can hear him losing it in the background after he mentions the Super Dave Osborne wig exhibit coming to the Warhol museum.I don't know ANY thing about the music people that come through on the show
I'm fairly new to the show so I'm not sure I can tell the difference between real Tom laughter and the fake, mocking kind, but the laugh when last night's crazy caller (the guy who called three times, I can't remember his name) suggested that poetic justice for Lindsey Lohan is to be chauffeured by Ted Kennedy sounded real to me.

Tom's best full-on fake laugh: August 24, 2004 at the 54:50 mark. Tom interviews Bernie Cohen, author of the book, The Lazy Person's Guide To Life. That's all I'm going to say.
I thought I'd resurrect this old topic since both Tom and Jon seemed on the verge of losing it last night when Gene Simmons said "condidacy" and "poncake" in rapid succession.

I'd say they were a bit past the verge. That entire call was hilarious and, for future readers of this thread, the laffs happened around 1:39:33, 11/13/07.

Tom refuses a caller's suggestion for the movie quote list, and cracks himself up in the process.
The giggles continue through the reading of the Stroszek quote.
Killed me!
That's a favorite moment of mine as well, Dorvid. Not only because of the Stroszek quote, but because Tom reversed his decision and gomped the caller right after the caller gave me a big, "Yay, Mike!" after I gave his quote the thumb's up. I've already listened to it several times. It's right up there with the Super Dave wigs moment and the Cowboy Star review for my go to moment for a quick laugh.
I just remembered: the Bob Bogle, Jr. call. When Tom goes, "Who's Bob Bogle, Jr.?", and 'Bob' responds, "Well, I'm Bob Bogle, Sr.'s son, idiot." Tom has a lot of trouble continuing the conversation at that point. It's just the best.
can you tell me what the date is on that bob bogle, jr. call is?
Tom laughed during last night's show more than I've ever heard him before. I think talking about bad kids and james' toupee really tickles his funny bone.

"More pizza, slave" elicited one of the best Tom laffruptions in recent memory.
Just came across this one again - it's from the 12/2/03 show during the Ryan Adams unfair record review. The part where he keeps rewinding the very beginning of the vocal is pretty great.

Truck Nuts. I have never heard the man laugh like that.

Agreed! That would've been the perfect entry for the "Tom's angry repetition of a word" thread, but he couldn't quite bring himself to angrily repeat it.
Hilarious!
