You don't call ME 'sir'.
« on: October 17, 2007, 05:41:44 PM »
"You don't call ME 'sir'. I call YOU 'sir'! Wait... what did you say?"

Or something along those lines. I'm trying to recall which show this was... I don't even remember who this caller was. Anybody remember?

One of my favorites that's close is from the Mike Sajak  call when he's explaining why he spanked a kid (I think) on his ill-fated kids show:
"He called me sir.  I'm not a sir, that's an officer. I'm a non com.  I work for a living.  The funny thing is that I never even worked in the service."

Probably helps very little to none, but it makes me chuckle.

3-1-2005 Starts around 2:03 - The part about Mike's kids show (Sgt. Sajak's Fun Barracks) is about 11:00 into the call.

Found it!

2005 June 28 - First call of the show, about 26 minutes in. An aggressive character calls in to claim hall of fame status.

-Well, I'm sorry to tell you sir, you do not have hall of fame status.
-You don't call me sir... I... Wait.. No. I don't call you sir? Wait.. what?

I still don't know who that caller is. Has he called other times?

I called him "Drug Dealer" - I think he's just one of their one-time throwaway characters who call, say something funny, threaten Tom and then leave.  That was a weird show - it had that call, "Baul from Newbridge" (0:47) and Philly Boy Roy (1:22).

That was a weird show.

What? That was a great show! That bit of conversation kills me. It's one of my favorite 'wait.. what' variations- so many confused half-statements in such quick succession. Just reading it makes me giggle.

You misunderstand me - I would never say "weird" as in "bad" about the Best Show - heaven forfend!

I meant "weird" as in "atypical" - one of the once or twice a year shows when there are 3+ Newbridgiverse characters who call in for brief chats.

Buffcoat, I love the reference to the S&W milieu as the "Newbridgiverse."  It gives me this image of Alan Moore doing a grim and gritty, "realistic" version of all the Newbridge characters.

Thanks, Grote.  It conveys the fact that while PBR, the Gorch, Bill from San Diego, the Cat Catcher of Vernton, Iowa and all the others may not actually LIVE in Newbridge, they still exist in the world that is centered "behind the old Lady Foot Locker, on Muffler Row, Newbridge, New Jersey, USA."

Mehmet Okur was hilarious on that show.  Have a game 8 and all with a cook off or boxing match.  That's a fabulous idea.

Sounds like someone was working as a conduit for nature's natural vengeance.  Just like Jesus.  And some of the others.

on a related note,
on the Feb 1, 2005 show at the 1:45 mark, Petey from the future says to young Petey, "you don't yell at me, son, I yell at me".  It's a Petey's birthday show and the whole thing is pretty funny.
