Ricky Gervais. Is this possible?
-
Gervais already ruined himself.
-
He still get some good press, that's very hurftul for me.

What country are you from, Mr. Handsome?
-
I'm Swedish bro.

Tom should go after Gary the Squirrel.
-
I think Tom should take a break from the celebs and moderate a debate.
If Mitt or Barack gets out of line, Tom "Bad Company"'s them into silence.

I pictured this in my mind and laughed HARD. Well done.
-
Wait a minute, you're No Prob Limo! Everybody, this guy's funny.
-
here we go.
-
How about James Bond? So boring, so dumb, how do those movies keep getting made?
-
Did he really "ruin" Chuck Woolery? It seems that, if anything, the Twitter feud helped his career.
-
Having a revived career and being a ruined man are not mutually exclusive.
-
He was already a pathetic, ruined man. Now he's one with a revived career.
-
Bleh, kill me.
-
Dennis Miller? You should read his Twitter feed. Prime example of a comedian who drops clunkers on the Twitter stream. Although to be fair he hasn't exactly been bringing the laughs since the early 90s.
-
They're all right-wing political jokes, too ("Durrr, Biden couldn't even debate himself, let alone Paul Ryan!"). He sucks so bad. I wish he could be taken down a peg, but he probably thinks too highly of himself to engage in a Twitter feud.
-
Much as I hate that douche, he seems a little too obvious as a target for Tom. I like the fact that Tom gets into these wrangles with people nobody else has really taken the time to hate all that much. Otherwise I would have suggested Mumford and Sons.
-
Chuck Woolery doesn't have a fanbase, which would have only made the feud that much better. Anyone remember the episode a few years back when August and Petey got into a feud (well, more Petey trying to start a feud...). Tom interacting with them was the best part, IMO Tom is at his best when talking to kids. Tom Vs. 12 year old Glenn Beck from Canada? Tom Vs. a child star? Potential to be creepy, which is why he'd tear this apart, but the potential is mindblowing.
-
This kid is my pick:

He's unbelievable.

How about going the other way? Let's see him rehabilitate somebody's career. Erin Moran?

Erin Gray

Hm, interesting question. It's gotta be someone more famous and powerful than Tom (otherwise Tom becomes the bully), but it's gotta be someone under-the-radar a bit. It's hard to find a celeb or public personality who fits in that slot.
Maybe a sports reporting personality? Like a Jim Rome or Al Michaels?
-
Who will be Tom's John Travolta in Pulp Fiction?

Al Michaels is a great suggestion.

I was reading this thread and thinking Mumford & Sons as well. My hatred for them knows no bounds.

I'd love Tom to take on network pre-game football panels...in general they all suck but CBS in particular w/Cowher, Marino, and Shannon Sharpe.

Joe Piscopo? Somebody re-tweeted him yesterday and the poor guy only has about 500 followers. He seems like a decent guy and I liked him in his SNL days. Also: New Jersey connection.

KING DIAMOND.
Someone needs to take that guy down a notch or two.

King Vitamin

I went to high school with his ex-wife. Our lockers were next to each other.

I'd love to hear Tom knock Van Smack down a peg or two...or three, or four, or five...

Jim Rome would be an epic target. And you know the cronies that listen to him would jump in too. It would be an epic battle. But the FOT have a secret weapon they'll never expect: cape-wearing mice.
-
Ricky Gervais. Is this possible?
While I actually like most of what Ricky Gervais has done, even his XFM radio show, he has got to be the worst celebrity-whose-stuff-I-like on Twitter. So thin-skinned and petty.
It would be fun to see Tom start something with him.
-
You guys, the answer is pretty obviously Russell Brand. Have you SEEN the promos for Brand X? That show should be called "Russell Brand Is Incredulous About Mundane Things"

Oh man. My wife is a big fan of his and added Brand X to the DVR when the show premiered. We watched the first episode together in bemused silence (your proposed title is apt. He has an Insane Clown Posse level of wonderment about things that should be obvious), and I noticed that the show quietly disappeared from the DVR queue pretty shortly after.
His heart's in the right place, but oy.
-
How sweet would a twitter war between Tom and Varg Vikernes be?
-
Doesn't he live on a farm without any electricity or something?
-
If there are any convicted murderers who somehow have access to Twitter, though, Tom should be feuding with them.
-
He tried getting a rumble going with Zodiac, but nothing ever really came of it.
-
I think Tom needs to orchestrate a mass tweet regarding how @realDonaldTrump is a wad.
-
How about Pete Seeger? He's still alive.
-
TED NUGENT.

TED NUGENT.
Agreed.

Groundwork being laid ... let's see if he takes the bait.

Hey @IAmPapaJohn, how about a follow?
-
TED NUGENT.
Agreed.
Not sure about that one. People have tried to deal with the Nuge, and nothing good ever comes of it. It's like talking to a wall. A wall that has been painted in hideously loud migraine-inducing colors. It's like throwing rocks at a rabid ferret. It's like ... I don't know, you can continue with the bad analogies if you want to.

People who are huge libertarians and only hate the Democrats always confuse me. Is it really only about guns? And there aren't a lot of big anti-gun people in the Democratic Party, anyway. I think what they really share with today's GOP is a penchant for hating people. Loudly.

I'm on the left and I'm OK with people having guns. It just isn't a big thing to me. In general it's really not something that comes up with lefty friends.
Back to Ted Nugent. A Jezebel article on top rightie meltdowns referred to him as 'beef jerky with a wig on it'. And that is how I will think of Ted Nugent from now on, if in fact I think of him.
-
Right-wingers who are scared of the left about guns are living in the past. Very few liberals under the age of 60 even register much of an opinion about guns, and, even with a complete Democratic takeover of Congress and the Presidency, I wouldn't think that guns would come up for years.
Of course, the people who listen to right-wing media and politicians seem to enjoy being scared and angry all the time, so it kind of doesn't matter what the subject is. Logic is not the way we win that fight.
-
Buffcoat's right. And I nominate Guy Fieri for a takedown, who, if you don't follow me on Twitter (or actually even if you do), Anthony Bourdain described as what you would get if "Ed Hardy fucked a Juggalo."
-
I'm working on a Shepard Fairey Chuck Woolery poster. The site has some registration problem now so I had to take a screenshot. Once I can register an account I'll do a better job on making the outline and send it to tom and chuck. Preview here: http://d.pr/i/vqcL (http://d.pr/i/vqcL)

This is a fascinating article that describes how the NRA went from an enthusiast club with safety as priority number one to the right wing fear machine it is now.

Did someone say "Guy Fieri takedown"?

I just came on intending to post about that. Hokey Smokes, if there has ever been a worse restaurant review published in a media outlet of any description anywhere, I'd love to see it.

An SNL bit that didn't make it past dress rehearsal: Guy Fieri [Bobby Moynihan] responds to the NYT review.

Glad to hear someone else doesn't like Garry (two 'r's' - well dodgy) Shandling.
I never liked It's The Garry Shandling Show because he was/is always licking his lips and when he looked at the camera I always felt he was touching me with his face.
And it wasn't funny.
I have never watched a single episode of Larry Sanders and am proud to have Tweeted to him that he was, is and ever shall be a 'wad'.
Piers Morgan is a Wad of the Highest Order. I'd love to know what percentage of Tweets he gets that are of two words or under.
-

Now this was a good first second post.
-
Larry Sanders is a quality show. Schandling: still a wad.
-
So apparently Victoria Jackson is as big a wad as Chuck Woolery. She has a show of her own too. I think I might take this stick and poke the crazy.

Has anyone said Piers Morgan yet?
He's pretty universally reviled over here for his complete lack of knowledge and interest about his interview subjects, his smarmy attitude and his complete lack of shame over his editorship of scurrilous toe-rag tabloid newspapers.
And yet, somehow the guy's a success on both sides of the Atlantic.
I have a friend who through another friend found herself invited to a garden party at his country home. She said he was the 'perfect host' and a 'true gentleman' who couldn't do enough for his guests.
I maintain that he is a wad.
-
He's done this before, but I don't think I could ever not burst out in laughter whenever he goes after Joe Rogan or Adam Carolla. Two jerks who are completely not funny and have made money catering towards horrible mentalities.

Like if Archie Bunker had thought he was really cool. The ICP of comedians. To call them douchebags does a disservice to douchebags.

I do have memories of his old hbo show being pretty good.its strange when achange in political affiliation mkes people feel the need to inject those opinions so hevily into thier work. I dont recall miller championing leftist rhetoric at the expense of humour when he was more on the left side of the spectrum for example. not too long ago i stumbled on a youtube compilation of dennis miller interviewing norm macdonald and it was hilarious. mostly because of norm but millerwas really good at setting him up

There are three things Dennis Miller and I have in common:
1.) We're both from Western PA
2.) We both had the same high school German teacher
3.) We both drop many a clunker on Twitter

George Clooney?

You should go for four and start calling people "Cha-Cha"...
The best thing about Dennis Miller was Dana Carvey's impression of him...

Until the weekend the only Alex Jones I'd heard of was the Welsh, rather fetching female co-host of the BBC's dire magazine programme 'The One Show' (Waaan-diddle-dee-Waaaan-diddle-dee-dee). However the other day (can't remember which) 'your' Alex Jones made an appearance on another BBC snooze-a-thon The Sunday Politics.
Ranting and raving about how everything is something and how we're all being confused by the Build-a-Bear group he brought the show down to almost an all time low.
Actually I DO feel a bit sorry for him, he was booked as a guest and then made a fool of in a tawdry way and everyone is entitled to their barking mad opinions.
I love a good conspiracy theory and so I'm going to check to see if he does a podcast but in the meantime I'd like to bring down the curse of 'wad' on Alex Jones - yours, not ours. She's fit!
-
I'm weirdly happy that Tom is finally poking fun at Chris Hardwick outright.
-
This is probably too common of a target, but I would probably say Orpah and her whole crew of charlatans: Dr. Phil, Dr. Oz, etc.
If this were the turn of the 20th Century, they'd all be on the back of wagon trying to peddle us nerve tonic, prognostications, and happiness hats.
I really think they do more harm than good.
I'd love to see a reality show where they are all dropped in the middle of Gobi Desert and they have to use their great self-help and health advice to survive and get themselves out, but they would all band together because they are such great human beings, right? :)
-
I’m sorry but once again I’m calling on Tom to bring down the wad rain on Piers Morgan. He’s just started a new series of his show ‘Piers Pries’ where he asks banal and offensive questions to some of the UK’s blandest nonentities.
On the trailer he says ‘I ask the questions the British Public want answering’ and then there’s a clip of veteran broadcaster Gloria Hunniford talking about the death of her daughter. ‘As a parent there is nothing worse than losing a child’ Gloria tells M’Organ.
‘The questions the British Public want answering’? What? The girl died in 2004 can’t you drop it? Can’t you let people get on with their lives? Hunniford has worked in TV and Radio for a thousand years – while not my cup of tea she must have some fascinating stories about her career? But no, Piers has to trawl through her bereavement and trample like some kind of yobbo through her memories.
And it is for this reason and many others that I respectfully ask for Tom to declare a FatWAD on @piersmorgan
Thanks in advance.
Ben.
