News Radio Advertising Rap

[Telstar62a]

akrabbim; I agree. The characters were solid and the writers wrote them that way, not always slipping out of character for convenience. Dave reminded me a lot of Bob Newhart in the way he mastered his timing. (Not to mention the occasional stutter...)

[akrabbim]

It really is a shame that this show fell out. I think part of its success was that every character fit their role perfectly, and the fact that they had a dedicated straight man in Dave Foley. A lot of shows get a character people really like (Big Bang Theory almost did this with Sheldon, but seemed to fix the issue), and then run it into the ground. You have to have a guy like Dave to set up your jokes.

ha "When in the course of Human Events" is from the Declaration of Independence, not the Constitution. A RARE miss by Newsradio.

The death of Phil Hartman killed the news radio show.

[darkb4lightt]

Not to mention Kermit the Damn Frog! LMAO XD

[TheOcean69]

I watched this show religiously but I never saw Jimmy get mad no matter what! But when I saw this one I laughed so hard I couldn't breath! Thsn k you for putting this one up!

[Wafflepudding]

@TheOcean69 Jimmy James actually got mad several more times, particularly I remember when Matthew nearly lost him his entire fortune during season 5, with the hippy billionaire, and when Dave was giving a message to his high school and Jimmy talked about his time in Cambodia.

I love the follow up to this scene later... "Bill, I'm gonna jump to the end and work my way backwards...do you like Ernie and Bert?"

[Lukelr]

I love it.

[kbrinks]

great scene! hahaha

[Barison]

Stephen Root, one of the greatest actors of his time.

[Wafflepudding]

@Barison I believe you have my stapler

[NsaneNtheNbrane]

We the people of the United States...I'm lovin' it!

[jim8569]

I didn't know this until a few months ago. Stephen Root played Milton in "office space". I never would have guessed it in a million years.

[AngryWhiteGurl]

I had the same reaction! It doesn't even remotely look like the same person.

[GeneaX1]

I know. I can't recall who told me, but I was floored. He was GREAT in that roll. He was in Dodgeball too.

[davidesle]

I just realized, this guy does the voice for Mr. Strickland on King of the Hill. :D

[ez2bgreeen]

yes! I knew he did a voice for something, and that's it! good call.

[Taospark]

He's also the regular voice of Bill too.

[subcultureshock]

oh man i forgot about this clip. good post!!

[Breeslave]

Jimmy James for President in 08. We need him.

[etiffany99]

I would vote for Jimmy James :)

[etiffany99]

There has never been a funnier show on television. It was totally underrated...

[subcultureshock]

i tottally agree!!!

[etiffany99]

WHY can't anyone come up with shows of this quality anymore?? Every single one was hilarious. And yet so many people didn't know about it. What a shame. It was much better than Friends (which I think was funny but not like News Radio) in my opinion...

[b2squared]

I totally agree. One of my all time fav shows I miss this show sooooo much!!!!

[ammoman23]

There are shows this good. You should watch Arrested Development (from the beginning or it won't seem funny) and Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

[timthecop]

I really miss this show.

[whoisnumberone]

ADVERTISING!!!! lol

[subcultureshock]

hahahahaha

[kittyprydex]

I LOVE it when Jimmy goes completely cracked mental. No Snuffalupogus, rofl.

[subcultureshock]

he does it in a few episodes we need to find em

[littlecaesar]

I miss my Unca Jimmy.

[dewey4682]

Not to mention Kermit the dam frog..... ahahah

[loot91]

Hahaha, what a fantastic show.  This is one of Stephen Root's best scenes.

"Bye-bye to Grover, bye-bye to Cookie Monster."
