Title: What are some of your favorite phrases heard on the Best Show?
Post by: brancron on November 06, 2014, 12:04:47 PM
One that has stuck with me is "delectable belly timber" (I think that was it). It was a phrase PBR used when he was reciting an erotic story by Alexander Graham Bell submitted to an early 20th century edition of Penthouse Forum. [This was in the June 11, 2013 Best Show.]

What are yours?

Still can't get over "flagrantly unhinged villain" from Officer Harrups in the last episode.

I don't think this counts as a phrase, but there was one show a long time ago where Tom asked for ideas for movies as vehicles for music personalities. I think it was inspired by some Kelly Clarkson movie that came out right after the 1st season of american idol that got him thinking about the good old days when prominent musical talents like The Beatles would star in movies.
Someone from the chat suggested Lily Allen Vs. Predator and Tom complained that he wasn't looking for puns. But I thought that was really funny and it stuck in my head for years. I actually ended up naming my dog Lily Allen Vs. Predator a few years later when me and my wife couldn't agree on a name and the best compromise was naming her LAVP and calling her Lily...mostly.

I can't remember which show it was but Tom played that old timey filth song 'Shaving Cream' and kept referring to it throughout the show saying stuff along the lines of 'What is this...Shaving Cream!?'

On the 2011 marathon, Tom presented the show while wearing a janitor's uniform and his explanation that "I'm dressed as a janitor because I'm here to clean up" has always stuck with me as one of my favourite lines.

I've listened to the call a couple times in the last week, and whenever BJ Bryson says, "I'm an equal opportunity stirrer" it kills me.

One of the funniest combinations of words I've ever heard: "Trough of Ploppleton: Plop's Laugh Slop."

It's poetry.
