Title: Poll: Worst Recurring Best Show Caller Ever
Post by: Richard_From_CHI on February 07, 2007, 05:30:10 PM
The Hasu/Anti Hasu thing was pretty horrifying.

Tor was odd

Mr. T got old

Spike is played out

Stevie Blue reminded me far too much of my youth in Milwaukee,

Who do you TBS loyal think was the worst recurring caller ever.

Spike has his moments of lucidity and he is a great target for Tom.

I find Spike very tedious, but at least he sort of understands his role.  Stevie Blue, on the other hand, was creepy, talentless, and demanding.  I hated him, and I'm glad he moved on fairly quickly.  I also hated Adrienne (sp?), with all her Christian crapola, and I'm none too fond of Officer Tom, although I suppose that's sacrilege since he's in the HOF.

Spike and Tom seem to have a vaudeville routine going on.  It's fun in small doses.  I sort of miss the 2 second "Where's Debbie!" calls though. 
Stevie Blue always made me uncomfortable.  He was a total careerist.  He was clearly never a true fan of the show, just out to further his hack career.  And that voice....ughh
Tor was sad more than anything.  :(  A former alcoholic Ed Wood obsessed Weird Al wannabe ... just so sad


My very favorite annoying caller was definately Kid Kansas.  I still miss him.

I never liked MC Steinberg. At all. But he seems to have dropped from regular rotation.

Listening to the Kid Kansas vs. Captain Jack into Tom sings Aimee Mann clip was a hilarious experience.

"Do you know how that part goes?"



Emerson: I would rather listen to Gilbert Gottfried Sings Opera for an hour than listen to a three-minute Steinberg bit.

Kid Kansas Was oddly amusing.

I also oddly enough sortof miss "the Leader" and I honestly was never quite sure whether or not he was a bit, or a real moron.

Why hasn't anyone mentioned Boring Owen?  Even when he was No Smoking Joe he was boring!

He may be one of the weirdest callers of all time. Honestly disturbed.

Oh Pet, do you miss me? If you find me to be the worst caller, then don't BLOODY listen !!!!!!

Spike is so much better than Stevie Blue.  Stevie Blue is depressing.  Who wants to listen to somebody's drunk, mentally handicapped uncle call and talk about the old days?

Now - who wants to listen to a marble-mouthed DMV worker with orange-crate cross patterns on his vinyl outfit?  That's comedy.

Captain Jack.  Especially lately.  I wonder how much time he spends in front of a mirror practicing his schtick.

Hey, c'mon - remember - Cap'n Jack saved the show a couple of weeks ago, and was actually kind of funny while doing it - I think he should get a free pass for a while...

Don't get used to my silence. I will be calling----maybe on Tuesday.
