The Best/Worst Moments of last night's show

[Greggulator]

The seemingly infinite number of theme songs Gary has at his disposal for Comedians Are Nuts.

Was hoping to hear Spike's nickname for Paul Ryan.  Maybe next time...

Man, Bad Companying callers is the best.  I was rooting for callers to be boring so I could start to hear Paul Rodgers voice creeping up.  I was positively giddy.  Keep calling in with lame calls.

[cavorting with nudists]

Tom might think the music is "too jazzy," but I like it.

This is perfect in every way, genius work.  I like Tom's sour expression in his closeup, that he has to deal with these knuckleheads.

I agree completely, Teds Tud.

Agreed, but I think that the call has to be organically lame for the Bad Compay GOMP to be really good.  I didn't like the contrived call by the guy talking about LIBOR as he was obviously trying to provoke a response. Tom probably had no choice but to B/C him, and I thought it was funny. Actually, I think Tom tried to string him out a bit longer than the caller expected, but to the caller's credit, he had ample material.

I like how quickly he went to the song the minute the guy said "Libor".

-Tom nailed all three of those cat names: Pumpkinhead, Soy Sauce, Rex Ryan.  The three the caller had were lame.

Soy Sauce was sheer brilliance.

Man, I'd like there to be a recurring Tom/Steve/Stephen panel on the show.

That whole call was unbelievably great.

Soy Sauce was sheer brilliance.

YES!  I also lost it when he suggested Pumpkinhead.  So great.

I am also 100% on board with the Bad Company-ing of boring callers.

after re-listening to the show this morning, i realized that last night's show was absolutely packed with hits:
-gary
-andy kindler
-steve albini
-bad company
-cat names

I'm not completely sure he was baiting Tom to B/C him but it did cross my mind.  We me never know.

Staten Island Garbage Rats

They definitely nailed your look, simplifying it for a cartoon, but unmistakably you.  I think I could say the same for "The Fink", despite not having a specific person to fill that role.  That cartoon character looks perfect for the job.

Wally Wackiman would be a good fink for Mike to abuse and bully. With his flexibility, Wally could be forced to crawl down into some of the muckier areas of the dump to retrieve car parts or ski boots. Concealing or editing out the marionette strings might prove to be difficult though.

[Sashamak]

Is that the Fink's teeth or is there a tissue up his nose?

Some dude called and suggested that I and Wally fill that role.  Not sure that I like Wally being considered a "fink" of any kind, nor do I really want him getting covered in muck and garbage.  Also, though you're most likely joking, he's not a marionette, thus leaving a lot more than strings to edit out, as I'd be sticking out of him, from both his torso and left arm.  I think there is a better Fink candidate out there, yet.
