Title: Best Show (and friends) "Ringtones" (for lack of a better word)
Post by: senorcorazon on February 18, 2009, 02:31:10 PM

Have we started a list of short Best Show clips suitable for ringtones? I don't know.

Here are two to start:
Chris L's Elvis doing Herbie -

Ha, thanks man.  This rocks out hardcore. 

I can just imagine the first one going off while I am in a coffee shop and everyone staring.

Oh man, I want the opening song by the Themeweavers playing every time I get those bill collector calls.  Perfect fodder for a gomp.  I'm not entirely sure if my phone is too archaic for something like that, but I'd like to try.

I showed my friend the ringtone someone made where Tom was mimicking the "latin loops" ringtones from around when the iPhone first came out.  In the middle of the ringtone the caller says, "yeah" and upon playing that for my friend he says, "That's me. That's my call." So I had his voice saying "yeah" on my phone months before I even met him.  Good story, right.

Haha those are awesome. I'd love one of the "BOOM you're a ghost!" gomp.

Personally, I wouldn't mind Tom's Josh Groban impersonation.

Tom's Michael MacDonald would be great as a ringtone. (programmed to be a ringtone only when your brother calls would be especially nice)
