Oh man, I *loathe* Bob and Tom, for similar reasons. I’ve never actually heard the radio show (even 30 seconds of it), thankfully. But I have been forwarded (via email) enough clips to the show’s actual content to develop a thorough hatred for it. Most of what I’ve heard seems to involve some sort of current event put to a catchy jingle. I’d go and search for an example, but then I’d have to listen to some of it again, which I don’t want to do. Blech.

Dead-on rant, as usual, Jamal. Preach on!

I once found The Jerky Boys funny, and I’ve tried to come to terms with this. I think it was the freedom of college and no parental supervision. This was the same period where I realized I could eat as many Corn Nuts as I wanted and never get grounded.

I think this explains Bob & Tom. Except, for some reason, some people never stop liking unlimited Corn Nuts.

I used to like Bob and Tom, when I was in high school. I also liked crappy movies back then. I’m sure if I heard their show now, I would have the same reaction as you.

Perhaps their audience is made up of 15-year-old boys?

I agree. Just how funny is a song about being drunk written 10 years ago and repeated 50 times? I live in Indianapolis where they broadcast from and find it interesting that I don’t see one bumbersticker or billboard anymore advertising their show. I think they just keep syndicating into new markets to keep their ratings up until people catch on that they truely do suck!!

I can not stand the Bob and Tom show either. There laugh is percing and makes me want to turn them off with in 5 seconds. I am glad to see there are other people with simliar oppions.

I’m sorry, but I can’t stand you bashing a couple of comedic geniuses like Bob and Tom. I love their irreverent humor and their take on the daily news. The humor may be sophomoric, but that is what makes the show worthwhile. It’s certainly better than Howard Stern, Opie & Anthony, and those other morning radio shows. If any of you were regular listeners, then you would know that they are not sycophants; they will criticize each other and their guests if they aren’t funny. And by the way, I’m sure all of you are funny and that’s why you have a nationally syndicated radio show…wait, you dont!!!!

Daniel, I’m sorry, Dude, but Bob and Tom are brutal. I’m embarrassed for the human race that a show like theirs even exists.

Bob and Tom just suck. thats all their is to it. I used to listen to this other radio show in Omaha called “Todd-n-Tyler” back in Middle and High School. TnT have a way better show than BnT. Of course Im not in the TnT listening area and I just got satellite radio and I now listen to Howard Stern. In other words Bob and Tom is a fake show with lame jokes and fake pre-recorded laughs, and they pretty much stink up the air waves.

I don’t know what to say, man… I’m disturbed that even one person on this entire planet might like Bob and Tom. How can it be? Everything they say is astoundingly obvious, transparent, safe, bland, unprovoking, unilluminating, tedious… I never post to forums, I never chat. I almost never listen to Bob and Tom. I had it on yesterday for 2 minutes maybe. That was enough. I went online and Googled “Bob and Tom suck” in the hopes of finding kindred spirits, something I never do. That’s how much they suck.

Three words…….Mancow’s Morning Madhouse on various TRN stations. BOB & TOM SUCK!!

I had just started listening to them and we starting to think, this might be decent humor at non one’s expense. Well, I was wrong. They made some really insensitive ( actually stupid and ignorant are the right words ) comments about the Indian gods recently.

Thanks for clarifying Bob and Tom, You are lowlife scum like some other comedians who like a laugh at someone’s expense always.

Sorry, I thought you were smarter than that.

I have been forced to listen to Bob and Tom for some time–I have a co-worker who listens to it on his computer all the time. I can honestly say that it is a radio show that truly caters to the low sperm count population of this country! They are honestly not funny, their jokes are stupid and you’re right-the stupid laugh track is the killer–it seriously wants me to tear my skin off of my arm! Does anyone else know any anti Bob and Tom sites on the Internet? I’d love to see them!

Well, I should have figured a bunch of Liberal panty-wastes would come on a blog and piss and moan about how they don’t like Bob and Tom Humor. These guys are funny, and they have the millions of listeners and their very successful Comedy tour on Comedy Central to prove it. Just because you morons don’t get it, doesn’t mean it isn’t funny. I thought gay loving liberals were supposed to be tolerant?

And to Newlistner, stop crying about someone making fun of a false indian god. They are just jokes for crying out loud. If you can’t take some criticism, you are just as useless as your other sissy liberal friends on this board. Grow a pair and stop crying about everything. You people are the ones that nobody can stand, I’m sure 99% of the people you run into on a daily basis feel the same way about you that you feel about Bob and Tom….we can’t STAND you!

Eventually I’m going to write about how sick I am that everything — EVERYTHING — in this country is inevitably reduced to goddamned partisan politics. What the fuck does hating Bob & Tom have to do with being a liberal? I hate them because they annoy me, not because I’m a liberal. I don’t even know what their politics ARE. And frankly don’t care.

Alex — Sat, 19 Jan 2008 06:28:22 +0000

“panty-wastes”? Please. Give me a break, Matt. I could care less about Bob and Tom’s politics. They just ain’t funny. And they ain’t offensive or edgy. They play it very safe. They’re insecure, unoriginal, transparent, tedious, just brutal. Have some imagination, Matt. Don’t always gravitate toward those who never challenge your opinions on anything. Grow some, whould’a.

I have listened to Bob and Tom for about 6 years now. I will agree that Bob and Tom Are not funny. I will agree that they do seem to laugh to much, especially at each others jokes. It is unfortunate that they have been around for as long as they have because they have delevoped a since of arrogance that gets played through to the guest comedians. Many times they steal the punchline. I have also noticed that they do tend to suck up to may of the non comsdian guests. It get real old real quick. The other thing that I don’t like is that they are always bashing on check (this is pretty well played out now) and they seem to repeat some of the same comedians who are funny, but not funny enough to be on the show every week. Now, why do I listen? Mainly for the comedians. Some are good some are bad. I find it to be a good way to determine if I want to go see someone at the comedy club or not. Another reason, is that sometimes they do come up with a skit or a song (usually low brow) that truly is funny. I know these are not the best reasons for listening, but I don’t mind. To the person who likes Mancow. A few years ago I would have agreed that he was the one to listen to. Now he is down two to sidekicks that are boring, and all he seems to do is rant and filp flop between people and music he likes or doesn’t like. It is getting stale, kinda like BnT.

I, like Alex, went searching for people who hate Bob and Tom as much as I do. I LOATHE Donny Baker. Tom “in any event” Griswold makes me want to retch. What an arrogant assbag! They are not funny, only incredibly annoying. The forced laughter, overplaying of bits that are not funny, and their constant talk of how hot Christie is show how pathetic they are. Have you ever SEEN Christie? Not my definition of hot. Chick is okay, he just needs to seperate himself from the other three losers.
Bob, Tom, and Christie need to work in fast food where their talents would be more well placed.

We get bob & tom here in Ok. on 107.7 krxo. This is a “classic rock” station. That means they play Lynard Skynard “Mr. Saturday night”, “Sweet Home Alabama”, and Aerosmith “Dude Looks Like a Lady” 24/7. Thats the whole playlist. Well, its not THAT bad, but you get the idea. bob and/or tom suck. They suck just as bad here as anywhere else. As a matter of fact, I hate any morning radio shows, I just want to listen to music. And a good variety of music too. I’ve stopped listening to the radio almost completely and take along my own music, or just listen to the car sounds. Much better.

After having just had the unpleasant experience of hering Bob and Tom’s All-Nighter on The Brew 97.3, you can count me as one of the newest members of the “We Hate Bob and Tom” Club. I hope there are plenty mof other regular listeners of The Brew who is just as every bit pissed off as I am.

I mean, I tune in to hear ROCK AND ROLL!! Not that “comedy” garbage. I’m not that big of a fan of Lynch and Meyer either - but, at least, those guys play ROCK AND ROLL!!

One of the interesting things I find about the show is that they have this retards that call in and request for them to play some recording that they made years ago. The first few times I heard this, I thought, “wow, if someone is actually requesting this, I must be in for a treat!” This could not be further from the truth. It’s almost always some recording of their “orchestra” of knuckle-draggers about some mundane activity like smoking or sometimes it’s a phony ad about tape for waxing your nuts. I think in 2008, most people are aware that men have testicles and that testicles are funny… until you’re about 16 years old and discover that people who talk about testicles all the time have single-digit IQs. I used to live in LA where I had a choice between Kevin and Bean or Mark and Brian and while neither were perfect, I could at least enjoy them moderately for the duration of my 40 minute commute. These days, my commute is 10 minutes, and if I’ve made the mistake of leaving on the station that plays B&T, I’m about ready to throw myself in front of a bus by the time I get out of the car. All I can think is, “jesus fucking christ, who decided to syndicate these two fuckwits?” The fact that they have to laugh at themselves is bad enough, but they’ve got these obnoxious horse laughs that just make it painful to deal with. The saddest part is that for awhile, I thought maybe I wasn’t getting the jokes. Maybe the problem was me. Then one day I decided to stand up for myself when I remembered that I’m a person of above average intelligence, and realized that the problem is that Bob and Tom aren’t funny. Now, I am back in control of my life.

One thing I forgot to add: Christie is useless. She doesn’t tell jokes. When B&T try to make fun of her, it isn’t funny either. I’ve heard other morning shows with Christie-equivalents, but the catch is that they’re hot. At least this allows desperate men some sort of satisfaction to hear a good-looking woman’s voice being directed toward them. Christie has no personality, has an annoying voice, and to top it off, she’s ugly. Why the FUCK does this woman get to be on the radio for 5 hours everyday? Five points to anyone who can explain this.
