The genius of Mr. Ron Bennington

[ChimneyFish]

I had to restart this post.
It was not my idea. Someone started this over at TalkRadioFans, but I don't remember who.
If it was your idea, please jump in and take credit. It was a great idea.


My first entery might not be so great taken out of context.


I was listening to an old clip from the WJFK days, and the buddays were on the phone with this stoner who just kept going on and on.
Ron, eventually, throws in "the next time you're listening to Suicidal Tendencies, get some."

Had me rolling.
I would urge you to go find the clip.
Hilarious.

Six words.

"Bake a cake and eat it."

Ron is the fucking man.

Very much agreed.
I forgot about that one.
Instant classic.:icon_cool

[PorchMonkey4Life]

ron is the most sarcastic son of a bitch i have ever heard.... i fucking love it

[Death Metal Moe]

And he does all the voices of all the on air personalities. He's amazing.

[jules]

ronnie is the kind of smart ass that i love-

[Turtle]

Ron kills every day, the best smart ass/straight man out there.

[tourettesguy]

He's a fairly cool smart ass, but not as cool as Zack from the hit TV show "Saved By The Bell"

He was a REAL smart aleck.

.......

.......

Nuthin?

[Chimpo]

Six words.

It's "BUY a cake, and eat it"


Not bake.

[dodisman]

RON is fucking brilliant...the gems he kicks out on a daily basis are just priceless...sure he's sarcastic but he is one quick witted bastard...unreal stuff

[al885]

"rat poison" "are you a rat?"

[BabyHat3R]

I loved when he was taunting fez about his death dreams. "Under dirt...I can't breathe under dirt."

[LiddyRules]

He made me spend an hour feeling like I was tripping even after he finished talking yesterday. That first hour was amazing. That's talent.

[Mr. Pants]

Sometimes there's little things that are great. The fact that they ended the show the other day after the caller got Earl to say "your mom's box" without saying a word. They just played the music. Also, way back Don Geronimo said if they had any balls they would open the show with some song I've forgotten which. They opened the show and never acknowleged why the new song. Geronimo thought that was very cool. Funny by being silent. Less is more sometimes.

Ron's the greatest. Here's my favorite line:

(while talking about Paulie's girlfriend whom he was crying over)

Ron: Does she live around here? Do you drive to her place?
Paulie: No. I take the train.
Ron: Yeah.. so does she.

Whatever happened to Iris and Kenny Allen, did they ever make an appearance on the DC show?

[LiddyRules]

What makes Ron so great is that his voice is on some sort of line between apathy and genius. In a way, how sometimes when you watch a movie or TV show you can see the gears turning in the character's head. For Ron, there's just a little thing in his voice that lets you know he is observing everything and so much more.

I don't mean to make this sound like such a superass kiss thread but I really think Mr. Bennington might be the most brilliant, funniest broadcaster I've ever heard. And he also has one of the quickest, most subtle, wits I've ever heard.

That's a strange way to phrase it but it's completely on point!!
Ron can go from complete passion to complete disinterest in the same breathe and have you completely feel both.
I can't even think of lines that I would say are the best, sometimes it's just a sigh or a laugh, or the way he says something that will just have me burst outloud.
Like I said it's the feeling he'll put to something..... one day he was talking about the middle age woman walking down the street in Manhattan smoking a joint, and Ron just said a quick goofy thing like "I said to her.... LIVE LIFE HUNNIE!".... and just the way he said it, for that second it's like he's the fucking voice of the people!~LOL Not a joke but it made me laugh out loud.

I 100% agree, he is the most brilliant man on radio and I even like the fact that allot of people don't get it..... it's kind of like keeping that favorite fishing hole to yourself and not having to share it with EVERY idiot in town :icon_lol:

[earlshog]

on the reason Earl couldn't get a cab...


"you look like your walking Eazy-E to the stage"

[robertkeys]

the veternarian shit was hillarious, three legged dog spitting on veterans.
some of the best things i say were lifted from Ronnie. he even made it okay to openly do coke again.

[ravin]

ron is by far, my favorite radio personality

i really enjoy his take on the fine line between science & god, etc
their rants about "serious" stuff are always insightful. they usually come across good debate-worthy questions that are really thought provoking. its forced me to ask myself questions and develop new beliefs.

and his ability to be a complete ass and jump back & forth between both sides of the fence is great!

and half the time, i never know when he says: "i used to know a guy" or "this one time" i never know if its truth or a fake story (mostly fake i'm sure), but his ability to spin a story out of thin air and make it extremley believable & real, is amazing!

[DoughBoy]

Ron's wit is sharp like my elbow. I love him like a father.

[3GROC]

have always loved listening to ron....tons of great shit daily from the guy from sarcastic shit to just flat out ridiculous funny quick stufff that if you arent paying attention you dont get it...

its great I Get to hear them both again.

[askewcore]

Anyone remember on the 'NEW show when Ron started going off about black guys wearing towels but he kept calling them "Tals" that shit still cracks me up to this day when I see a moolie with a towel or t-shirt on his head/neck.

[Uncle_Inky]

Anyone remember on the 'NEW show when Ron started going off about black guys wearing towels but he kept calling them "Tals" that shit still cracks me up to this day when I see a moolie with a towel or t-shirt on his head/neck.
YES!!!!! Probably one of my fav Ron moments ever!!! He just kept yelling "I got my tal" :icon_lol:

[JOHNNY HAIRDO]

Ron trying to get Earl to look at the girl shitting out her colon:
Ron: Earl, would you run your tongue across that to get a balck man into the white house, get Bush out.
Earl:(gagging)Four more years.
Ron: See that's why you people never win.

[ern]

I like him for the same reason I like O&A, very different, but yet extremely good at what they do. To have to do the show by himself basically while attempting to have earl and his co-host puke simulataneously is very good. But taking into account the fact that most humans will puke as soon as they either hear/see/smell someone else puking, and continuing the show while berating Earl - Genius. I don't know why people bash this show on this website. Maybe he needs to dumb it down a bit so others get their show.

[Cloominati]

Ron rocks.
Fez needs some love, too.
Hes no slouch.

[LiddyRules]

Fez needs some love, too. Hes no slouch. The thing is, he doesn't and he is. We like to baby him because of the heart attack and the gay thing but really, we all know that Fez is the weak link in the studio. And Ron is such a great guy for letting Fez feel important.

[Uncle_Inky]

That I disagree with, Fez helps set him up and helps him to be the genius he is in my opinion. It's a balance thing, a comedy straight man is nothing without that wacky/goofy balance to play down.

It's like adding a touch of salt to fruit....it brings out the sweetness :icon_mrgr

[LiddyRules]

So are you honestly saying you prefer Fez to Soundboard Fez?

Ron is a fucking genius.....
Ron::"Can't you be bipartisan like me or bisexual like Fez":icon_lol:

[GlassJoe]

Ron is absolutely brilliant!

I'll admit, I hated the Ron & Fez show when they first started on XM; but after listening to them for a few months, I like them just as much as I like O&A.

[Arch Stanton]

They are both on, balls to the wall start to finish. They could be in a miserable mood, rug getting pulled out from underneath them and they bring it 100% at all times. They are incredible at altering thier style instantly. They are of course.....our buddies.

[tourettesguy]

My favorite Ron line ever:

Fez: So you had to see a doctor?
Ron: Yeah.
Fez: Which doctor?
Ron: No, it was a regular doctor.

The day he said that line without even pausing for a second I knew that I would LOVE this show.

I got XM for O and A, but I'm gonna say I enjoy Ron and Fez even more than them now.

Thanks for bringing them to XM!

Ron: So what do you want to do now????
Paulie: I don't know, just go out and meet new people.
Ron:When you say "meet people", does that mean you want to suck dick????

[Quinn Martin]

Ron is one quick-quipping, funny-ass bastard. I would tell them the show is great, but Ron was probably just saying that same thing to Fez moments earlier.

I must admit I'm a little surprised at Ron's viewpoint on author James Frey's book scandal. I haven't read the book, but I did like the "A.A. ain't the only way" message. However, I can't stand a lying sack of shit like Frey who builds himself up to be a badass. Ron keeps downplaying Frey's bullshit by comparing him to stand-up comics and humor writers. To me, there's a huge difference between the autobiographical stories of a humorist and those of someone who is supposed to be giving a firsthand account of actual events. It's much like the higher standard we hold for news reporters. Brian Regan can tweak the truth all he wants, and I'm still laughing. Peter Jennings, on the other hand, better report the facts or die!

*ahem* Good luck, bro.

[Deadbent]

Ron Bennington is truly a man that is a son of a man.

[Phillystang2000]

So far one of my favorite Ron moments has to be how he busts Fez's balls about being a Lutheran. Worshiping Martin Luther King Jr and Luther Vandros. Being a Lutheran, I just have to chuckle. Pure genious. I also enjoyed Ron's advice for tipping at Xmas time.

[BigBuffaloFan]

Bennington gets me more laughs then Norton. I have nothing againist Jimmy but like Ron's style.

I don't understand the people who bash R&F on this board saying they do no get it. How you not get the humor? They are not doing Dennis Miller comedy. I know we are no suppose to bash other board members but JHC it is not rocket science listening to R&F.

That was dying when I heard that. I hope they get there own channel. I want more R&F replays.

[khemystri]

Fez doing "UFC Right Said Fred" had me in tears....
"and I do my little turn in the OCTAGON"

[Baby Evil]

The thing is, he doesn't and he is. We like to baby him because of the heart attack and the gay thing but really, we all know that Fez is the weak link in the studio. And Ron is such a great guy for letting Fez feel important.

Fez has a very quick wit, and I guarantee that most people on this board could not go toe to toe with Fezzy.

[Stormrider666]

My favorite Ron moment is when bashes the rednecks that call the show and become the living stereotype of a redneck. I'm really enjoying the Ron and Fez show, and kick myself for not listening more when they were on WNEW.

i miss that bit

miss soundboard iris

[JOHNNY HAIRDO]

Anyone remember the song written by Iris, sung to the tune "It's a grand old flag."

He's a grand old fag and his friend's a fag hag,
and they both have a radio show.
One likes chicks, the other sucks d----,
and they're both kinda assholas too.

[Bob569]

Fez has a very quick wit, and I guarantee that most people on this board could not go toe to toe with Fezzy.

Fez is a funny guy. People just don't notice it because he's overshadowed by Ron, and since the Ron and Fez show isn't about stopping and laughing at their own brilliant lines some people tend to forget that.

[LetsDoThisLucas]

"Hey Matt...you're on Ron & Fess,

Welcome Matt" -- Ron

[ChimneyFish]

Miss "yeah....whadaya want????"
Brilliant.
I don't think they would use it , cause it's Fatbabys' idea.

[yvj]

Yeah I was the one that started the thread back at talkradio fans. It was called the Wisdom of Ron Bennigton but I'm clad somebody picked it up and ran with it.

Here are some of my favorite sayings

"You can yell theater in a crowded fire"

"I was in a really crowdwed fire and I yelled theater they tried to press charges on me and it wouldn't stick."


:icon_lol:


"I'll let you in on a secret. Cartoon dogs are drawn by people"


(Ron on Poisoned Dog Food)
"A dog will know it's contaminated and will keep right on eating. They do not care."


"When we see how many old people die, we'll really feel bad about how we're living in this country"

:icon_lol:

This isn't particulary funny but it's wise

"Your spirituality should adapt to the facts. The facts should not adapt to your spirituality."

[Beauxman]

Ronnie B is the sharpest, quickest cut man on the air hands down. Whenever he drops the "Earl, I apologize for that comment" line, it is simply amazing!

[BigBuffaloFan]

Fez is a funny guy. People just don't notice it because he's overshadowed by Ron, and since the Ron and Fez show isn't about stopping and laughing at their own brilliant lines some people tend to forget that.

I completely agree with you. On O&A you know when they bomb or hit one out of the park.

I love Ron's redneck and when he goes italian.

[TheFlash]

(All done in bad hack radio voices)

Ron - "Oh man thats one wacky horn!"

(Horn honks twice.)

Fez - "Thats one nutty horn you got there."

(Horn honks again.)

Ron - "Oh looky here now, look at this horn." (Horn honks) "Ooo wow thats one wacky horn!"


I don't know why but that made me cry because I was laughing so hard.

[Beer Gut]

It always feels like theres something going on in the studio that we aren't privy to. I can't really explain it. Ron can just run off at the mouth and i could listen to it for hours on end.


My most recent Bennington moment that made me lol was when Earl was trying to light the lighter and Ron' says " OH OH watch it you're a scarecrow!!"

that just struck a chord with me while I was sitting at the light. people were staring.

[Slow Bollards]

"Your spirituality should adapt to the facts. The facts should not adapt to your spirituality."

That is the most brilliant thing I've read all week.

That whole first hour of the show they were talking about Fezzy perhaps tripping was insanely funny. Whenever he talks about drug stuff he has super insightful points that simultaneously make me want to start taking drugs again and glad I stopped. He has a truly remarkable intellect and wit.

Also, its hard to drescribe given my lacking intellect, but the thing he does with Fez where he breaks down the words in a sentence by syllable and says what they stand for and he comes to this insane conclusion. It's like he's dissecting poetry or something.

e.g. "Do-re-mi, Fez. Do, what do we work for? Money...Dough. Re, who did you blow last night? Ray-Ray the repair man. Mi. Who did you call afterward? Me. And Fez gives that tentative "Ohhhhhh." So you blew Ray for money and called me afterward. And your breath stunk...

I know I hardly do it justice, and wish I could cite an actual example, but every time he breaks into this it's like fucking jazz. He really is one of the most brilliant personalities in entertainment, not just radio.

[Uncle_Inky]

Listening this week to the hypnotism show is where Ron really blew me away!!
To keep all that nonsense in check and still deliver is incredible, and as always it was his most subtle line of the day that made me spit my coffee out...... When they were all being Earl's family, which was hysterical in it's own right, everyone's going on in different directions and Ron's holding them all together and while one is talking someone else comes out with "I once wrestled a crocodile" and without skipping a beat Ron goes "I know you did" in a very reassuring tone and then bang right back into the rest of the chaos in the room. LOL

Again Brilliant!!
I LOVE O&A, and other comedians and whatnot, but Ron is the only person who makes me out loud belly laugh several times a day EVERY day!!!

And Bollards..... I hear ya on the drug thing. I dropped allot of acid and did allot of coke back in my younger days and listening to him go on about drugs sometimes will actually kick up old chemicals in my bloodstream and make me buzzed!!~LOL
Well, maybe it's the weed I was smoking, but you know what I mean!

I would strongly recommend going to the next RonFez.net party. I have listened to them and O & A since the WNEW days never posted on a message board or went to an event. My girlfriend and I went to the x-mass party this year and had an amazing time. The guys were hanging out having a blast and the fans were cool as shit.

That is pretty fucking funny. I have a close friend that will be called this in the very near future.

Ron never ceases to amaze me.. I see why this show has such a following. I hadn't heard of it until XM. It's slowly grown on me but recently I think Ron has been really great and made me an official fan

[DiseasePillow]

Back in the WNEW days, I used to IM Ron a lot, and practically beg him to get out and do some stand up. How fuckin' funny would that be?? He is the Mayor of Ronnietown!! Nobody is that quick-witted day in, day out.

Ron (with no pause): Did you check behind the couch

[assWhack]

The two that got me today was when the caller called in and said that this girl was a heroin addict and used to suck dick for money, and ron was like me and fez got that one fifty fifty, or some shit like that. And the other one was when he was putting everyone on probation. I had to pull my earphones out and walk out of my office because I was laughing so hard.

Ron: Oh, you mean those kind of spooks

[Chimpo]

Getting that guy who called in to talk about how underage girls look older than their age, to eventually fess up to essentially being a kid toucher and telling him that if he keeps that up, he's going to prison, is compelling fucking radio.

Not only that, but he got the guy to voluntarily give his first name, age, town he lived in, the fact that he lives with his parents and what kind of work he does, out of him before he put him on hold. Any detective worth his badge could find this guy if he really was trying to fuck 14 year olds.

[jagsfans]

I know were not into hack radio stunts here, but that call sure sounded like a plant. He just said the exact right thing at the exact right moment for ron to spin some radio gold. Took me out of the bit just a little. Still Ron's commentary was fuckin hilarious

Ron Speaks the truth

[Bob569]

I love when Ron and Fez suddenly have lightning fast exchanges that seem to pop out of nowhere. Like when Ron suddenly makes a joke about Fezzy being touched as a child....

Fez: But everyones been touched as a kid...

Ron: Nope you're the only one.

Fez: Aww, thats all I had to keep me normal all these years.

Ron: Personally I thought you were asking for it.


and then right back to the topic at hand!

[BruceKellysJunk]

not the actual quote, but the punchline is right:



I used to steal albums as a kid. Id just shove records down my pants and walk out and the security guy would come up to me and be like "hey is that a record in your pants?" and I would say "big... but record, I dont think so." But seriously


Might not be an original, but I laughed my ass off.

I love R&F, being in Philly never got to hear much of them before XM (with the exception of the old A.F.R.O. shows and a few downloads) but they are hysterical. Ron is so sharp so dry & so quick it's hilarious. Ron had me the first week he was talking about one of the interns or something breaking up with his g/f Ron said he doesn't want a nice normal girl..he wants the kinda chick who's a little crazy, the kind that u might wake up to her lighting your matress on fire....i was rolling.....R&F had me after that...Miss Nature Boy Fez

I believe that was Paulie the intern, and that was when I first knew this man was a genius.

Ron: So what are you're plans now????

Paulie: I don't know. I just want to go out and meet people.

Ron: When you say "meet people", does that mean you want to suck dick????

[Legend of Snuka]

One of Ron's funniest yet subtle lines was when Chris Penn died.....

Earl was hassling them about something and Ron says something along the lines "Earl, please, Fez and I just lost a Penn brother today, we're very upset"

[Absolutely]

Fez: Strychnine is poison.

Ron: It's rat poison - you a rat?

Fez: No

Ron: Then no worries.

I just LOLed at that, I remember laughing very hard when he said that.
Ronny is the best

[Absolutely]

Ron: Xm, We're on Xm
Cave Mom: Oh, I thought you were Sy-Russ
Ron: No, Sy-Russ... is the virus, as we like to say.

[tourettesguy]

I wanna thank O and A for bringing Ron and Fez to XM, never has a show made me think and laugh so fucking hard at same time than Ron and Fez.

Thank you so much for having the balls to put on something so different on 202.

THANK YOU

I must say I was leary when they first talked about gibing them a golden ticket but I have become a HUGE fan.
Ron is as funny as Anthony.


And I just noticed this is my 69th post....he he he I said 69!!!

[GlassJoe]

I love it when a caller says what he does for a living or what he goes to school for and Ron replies "yeah, well I got my own radio show." :hahaha:

It's even funnier when you use it in your normal work day

Dealing with Fez's cock-breath every day must be trying.

[Jenosyde]

Dealing with Fez's cock-breath every day must be trying.
Cock breath? Why would he have........ OHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

A gay joke! :clap:

[billb914]

far too many one liners to mention, but the whole exchange with schizo bill was classic, as well as when they go off on meaphysical discussions of the afterlife, etc

On being drunk in a bar:

"I've done some horrible things! And I just want one night of Asteroids and forgetfullness!"

[askewcore]

(Talking about the movie Se7en)
ESD: "Well, that guy was face down in spaghetti and meatballs"

Ron: Yeah? What kind? Canned. That might be good for you ya Irish Mick, but not me."

[APortablePhone]

I'm listening to some WJFK-era Ron and Fez this morning, and figured I'd bring this thread back just to confuse people who don't know the differene between "The Genius of Mr. Ron Bennington" and "Ron Bennington's Line Of The Day."

(talking about The Outsiders over Stevie Wonder's Stay Gold)
Ron: This reminds me of my own childhood Fez. Growing up in Oklahoma, I wasn't on the socs' side of town, I was with the greasers.
Fez: You didn't grow up in Oklahoma, you're from Philly.
Ron: Me, Tom Cruise, Matt Dillon was part of that whole crew. That Karate Kid kid, he passed away.
Fez: Johnny!
Ron: And Sodapop Curtis...maybe the best of us all. Little Sodapop.
Fez: You didn't grow up with Ponyboy and Two-Bit.
Ron: And the guy from "Ghost" was like our big brother, and he could have been a socs if it wasn't for us.
Ron: If this movie was on tonight, I'd be crying like a chick. I'd be crying like I miscarried.
(Ron loudly cries)
Ron: That was me in the theater. Shhhh...JOHNNY! Even as when the credits were coming up I just kept yelling STAY GOLD SODAPOP CURTIS! CHERRY VALANCE LOVES YOU!

[ChimneyFish]

Man. I finally listened to the show from 5-22. WOW. I don't think I've laughed to the point where I couldn't breath and couldn't see(because my eyes were watering so bad), since the O&A "knock, knock. who's there?? olive" bit.
Bennington brought his A-fucking-plus game that day. When talking about Fez wanting to fight the guy that wants to take Fez' spot on the show: "I'll fucking knock the cock out of your mouth, motherfucker." Typing it doesn't do it credit, because you have to have the gay voice going.
I urge anyone who has the means to record that show and save it. One of the funniest things I've heard on radio. Thank God for satellite.
I didn't put this in the "line of the day thread" because there is no way I could pick one line and say it was the best that day.


And because I don't want my thread to die.:rolleyes:

[newfie_lover]

playing "Napalm Chick"...f'ing priceless

[led37zep]

Ron saying he's sorry for saying he wanted to fuck that girl in a playpen made me laugh my ass off.

[Iron Duke]

I had never really listened to Ron & Fez that much when they were on regular radio once in awhile, but now I absolutely love the show. Ron has some of the sharpest quips and comebacks in the business. And I love the little gay fella too.
