Title: Best PFT episode?
Post by: mokin on September 23, 2008, 12:56:58 AM
I'm trying to figure out which Paul F. Tompkins episode to play for a friend. They are a fan of PFT, so I figure it would be a good introduction to the show for them.

Any suggestions?

October 23rd, 2007.

All the way gold, but then Tom and Paul spend the last 20 something minutes shitting all over Kid Rock, it's great.

Philly Boy Paul!

There is no way that this isn't the right answer.

cf Paul and Roy singing "Knocking boots" over the Rocky Theme.
And! That episode has Tom's reaction to 'Paradise by the Go-Phone Light'

Episode of the year, says I.

This was a real tour de force, but I think it might be more affecting to people who already have some familiarity with PBR. My vote goes to the Jan 2, 2007 episode Gregory suggests.

Yeah, my first thought was the Philly Boy Paul episode as well. It's definitely one of the best PFT episodes. I'm just worried that it might not be the best introduction to the show. I'm worried that PBR might be too insidery and newcomers might not get it? Also, I'm trying to use PFT as a hook, and having PBR in there as well might take away some of the focus from PFT.

With the "What would you for a Klondike?" as a game show suggestion, which I still think needs to be on the tv.
