T-Bones doesn't like it.... he LOVES IT!

[Josh Fenderman]

Did anyone else watch The Naked Trucker and T-Bones show tonight?  Towards the end T-Bones says "I don't like it...   I LOVE IT!" 

I nominate a new archenemy for Tom.  We may need a new Best Show Law to handle this situation.

[Dan B]

Yeah, I was going to mention it, but I'm pretty sure Tom didn't create the phrase, just perfected it.

Dollars to donuts says Tom didn't see it.  Let's just let a sleeping naked trucker lie...

[Tyrannosaurus Rocks]

My dad calls me T-Bone, and I was worried that you knew something I didn't.

DUDE! It's Mr. Rosso!

DUDE! It's Mr. Rosso!

You can call him Jeff.

I have a vague recollection of "The Higgins Boys and Gruber" back from when Comedy Central was Comedy Channel. Anyone remember this show?

I sure do!  I watched it all the time.  I love that era of The Comedy Channel (pre-merger with the HA! Newtwork), which also included the great Night After Night w/ Allen Havey.  Another great show was Sports Monster w/ Nick Bakay, Jon Hayman, and Joe Bolster.  They did a filmed sketch about basketball recruiters that was better than its eventual Mr. Show counterpart.

The one HA!-specific show I recall from that time is Comics Only w/ Paul Provenza.

I watched that Naked Trucker show last night and decided I never have to watch it again.  Something of a relief, really, in view of my already grueling TV-watching duties.

Man, I watched sooo much Comedy Channel during my formative years. I was a big fan of the Alan Havey show, and I saw him do stand up at the Comedy Cellar recently, and as he passed by my table, I yelled "Comedy Jitney!" over the applause. I don't think he heard me. Rich Hall's Onion World was another fav.

I really dug that Comedy Channel would play excerpts from various comedy routines throughout the day in "blocks". I wish they'd go back to that for part of the day.

Amen brudder,
I watched the shit out of the comedy channel or whatever names it was going under in my younger days.  I loved Onion World and Alan Havey and I had a crush on Rachel Sweet.  Lancelot Link, Higgins Boys, MST3K, Lucy Show, I'd watch just about anything on that network.  I never really liked that Tommy Sledge guy though, too schticky even for my childhood tastes.  He reminds me of Matt Drudge now.

I saw Havey at Caroline's in NYC in 1993 (Greg Roggel and Doug Benson opened) -- he was great.  I should have yelled something about the Mobley Motel.  I always wanted to be the "Audience of One" on NAN. 

I, too, loved all of the stand-up blocks.  They also had the stand-up show <em>Two Drink Minimum</em>. 

Sploops -- good call on Rachel Sweet.

The shuffler: David Koechner, an always-welcome face in such films as Anchorman and Thank You For Smoking, and in his scene-stealing guest spots on The Office. With comedy veteran Dave (Gruber) Allen, he's also half of The Naked Trucker & T-Bones, a country duo/comedy act that can currently be seen on Comedy Central in The Naked Trucker & T-Bones Show. (Koechner plays the non-naked half, T-Bones.)

Creedence Clearwater Revival, "Lodi"
David Koechner: Creedence, I think, can only be described as the American Beatles, straight-ahead rock 'n' roll, roots-influenced.

Am I way off in assuming that Tom maybe-kinda-sorta lifted this phrase from Arrested Development?

I could be wrong.

[Dorvid Barnas]

I think Tom used it before Arrested Development but I'm not positive.
I also think I remember Lovitz saying it in a black and white sketch on SNL, but I bet it goes back a lot further. 
It sounds like something Cary Grant would say, perhaps while he does that old movie-star move of taking his leading lady by the shoulders and enthusiastically shaking the crap out of her.

You ARE wrong. Tom doesn't 'lift' things. You should be ashamed of yourself.

Tom.
