I wish O&A would tell the tard fans to stop Ramone calling R&F

[WhateverMJ]

I heard like 2 or 3 "prank" calls in a row on one show this week, one doing a HYSTERICAL :rolleyes: Ramone impression and the other referencing it, bringing the show to a fucking halt.

I dunno if they're Wackbaggers or not (I'd hope the baggers would have enough intelligence to see that R&F is a different groove of a show and if you don't dig it, don't shit on it, cause they're buddy's with O&A), so it's probably some retarded trucker with 3 teeth, maybe O&A can say something on their show, I dunno, seems like Ron is just about fed up with it, and I know I hate how it wrecks the flow.

[7cent]

I wish we could find the people that make the Ramone calls and banish them from both show.. They can't be adding any value.

[FANDICK]

I don't listen to R&F that often, but yeah...when one of those calls gets through, you can tell, Ron is clearly sick of it.

[Chestas Liva]

Ronny handles it well. He ain't skeered of no stinkin' Ramone.

[tourettesguy]

Ramone, (insert joke about Fez here).

So original AND still funny.

Idiots.

[Death Metal Moe]

Kudos to this thread.

And I'd go as far as to say that the listener Ramone calls on O&A are gay when they're not joking around and actually think it's supposed to be funny.

[ScottEHello]

Just the idea that any fucking douche would think that screaming "Ramone" is in anyway funny in any circustance EVER makes me want to throw up.

I just hope R&F understand that they have a large and growing fan base and most of us love the radio they do.

Hey WhateverMJ, Deluxomatic from SA says hello! Stairs motherfucker, STAIRS.:icon_mrgr

[roche]

I have to agree with this thread. The only person who should ever do a Ramone call is Jimmy. Leave it to the professional.

[Arc Lite]

I think Ramone calls come in handy when attacking the enemy's radio shows.

[Death Metal Moe]

I think Ramone calls come in handy when attacking the enemy's radio shows.

For sure, that's the OTHER realm of the Ramone calls.

If a listener calls in, and the context of the call is "This call is a joke because I know how bad Ramone calls are" it's funny. It's also great to annoy enemies with as well because it's so unfunny.

Jimmy is the ONLY one who does it well, and as we hear it's material that he and the other writers on the show come up with. In other words, professionals.

Well that's the mindset of some of these people calling into R&F... Some of the fans of O&A, the dreaded "take it too far" breed think any other show other than O&A is bad, and either needs to be either attacked or "helped along"

It's juvenile. And to be honest why I like R&F so much, they simply do a good show.. No extra work involved, no "radio war" no combat time, just a funny fucking show. I love that about them.

A-Fucking-Men.

[Jenosyde]

To be honest, I really don't mind it when the callers understand the bit, which unfortunately doesn't seem to happen too often. I venture to guess many of them barely know anything about Steve C, much less the fact that Steve from Yellowstone is a parody of him. I know that's a bold statement and all, but every time someone yells, "RAMONE! (insert ANY phrase here) ", I tend to think they missed the punchline.

[Lambo]

i wish i could shoot em

[Sturgeon]

Most if not all Ramone calls on both show are boring and old news...please let's move on.

[LiddyRules]

That really is one of the number one reasons I love Ron and Fez. You listen to Howard and his cronies (Scott and Bubba) both screaming and yelling about how awful O+A are, challenging them to fights, etc. Opie and Anthony, are similar to that, albeit different in that you kind of imagine them having a giant war room like Strangelove with, instead of missile silos, are the location of jocks and reporters who have wronged them. But still, they fight battles, they fight wars.

Then you have Ron and Fez. If you simply listen to them, you'd have no idea any sort of radio battles are going on b/w 101 and 202. They occasionally slip in an anti-Howard line but really, they exist as their own separate entity apart from EVERYTHING. That's their brillance. How utterly laidback and apathetic they are. They see it going on around them and they pretty much don't give a shit. They don't have crazy plans and secret, behind-closed-doors deals going on, they're just happy to do what they're doing. They're content in their lives and it shines through.

It's part of what makes the show such a great midday show. O+A might get you jumpstarted and riled for the day but by the first half hour of Ron and Fez, that anger is gone and all you want to do is light up a joint, put up your feet and play solitare and you feel like you can. And that ends up making the rest of the day so much better.

And, to be fair, I do give credit to O+A for not pulling Ron and Fez into their shit like Howard does with Bubba/Scott.

yeah, we'll tell them to stop it! That'll help. Are you fucking high or just really stupid?
Know the show and the listeners and the way they react to things before you spout lame ass shit from your keyboard.

"Hey guys...Stop the Ramone calls!!!....LEAVE THEM ALONE!!!!"
Asshead!

You could always say "Serious Ramone Calls only."

[Ankle Biter]

I bet 10-1 Fezzy could take Bubba in a fight :hamm:

i got flatscreens for the bedrooms today looks cool

as u can tell who the fuck cares! cry bitch moan fuck man all the out of work djs right here!

ruins the show stops the flow wtf are u high ? they are prpfessionals and can handle anything thrown at them. this is what they do. i would like to go to your job and act like the critic u are.

[fandango86]

I think Jimmy would have better things to do than prank Ron and Fez, but if he's bored after the show and wants to have a little fun, I say let him...

[WhateverMJ]

I know the majority of listeners are mindless robots that'd do whatever you guys said, hence why you're able to sic them on furniture stores in Manhatten and they respond in droves.

I wasn't asking for a heartfelt plea, just a denouncement of it as fucking lame (because it is).

Deek.

The fuck does this even mean? Are you saying some toothless inbred trucker tard calling in as Steve From Yellowstone like he's the fucking King of Comedy is a job or something? I don't really follow your broken logic.

Yeah R&F are pros, that doesn't mean some idiot calling in with something else to add to a discussion only to pull out the hilarious curve ball like he's a brilliant comedian and start with the weak assed Jimmy impersonation only to have the show stop and let everyone sigh at this pants shitting retard and try to get back on track isn't fucking lame.

[DonTheTrucker]

Ramone calls are funny, but I can see that they don't belong on Ron and Fez. Its a different show.

Even still, I wish Ron hadn't dumped mine....it was a lot better than the other one that got through that day.

I'll be saving my Ramone calls for people I don't like from now on.

[Jenosyde]

It's cute and all how some of you guys go that extra mile when it comes to repeating lines you hear on the show (minus the actual humor and delivery), but when brings the flow of a show to a grinding halt after your attempt to emulate other people's bits doesn't get any laughs, then you're an ass. But hey, you got on the radio, right? Why don't you finish every phone call with "Punching Out", ya non-bit-understanding mother fuckers.

Oh yeah, and start every call with "Miss (insert bomb)" or "Happy Birthday Jimmy"

Keep driving those bit's into the ground after the show has obviously moved on, guys.

[Torlough]

Didn't ron say several times on his show how tired he is of the ramon calls???

[TurboDan]

I agree. The Ramone bit is funny when it's used in the context of berating some lame guest or attacking another radio show. It's even a joke my friends and I use sometimes when we're hangin' out.

But it just doesn't fit on R&F. Ron handles them like a pro - but what's the point? The caller looks like an asshole and it brings R&F's topic to a halt. I wish Op would give a quick "hey, and lay off the Ramone calls on R&F, would ya please?" one day. That's it, just one casual line like that. Would it fully stop them? Probably not. But at least it'd be mentioned that they're lame and it's generally frowned upon.

I think the original poster had a good point. I don't know why Ant got so mad, but I think pretty much everyone here has been in agreement...

[Torlough]

Then again the people who do do the ramon calls to R&F and dont "get it" would see this as a call to arms and it would backfire causing more not less Ramon calls.

[kloraferm]

Fucking tools

[kloraferm]

"Hey guys...Stop the Ramone calls!!!....LEAVE THEM ALONE!!!!"
Bingo! That oughta do it! :)

Good point sir, Good point.

[Chimpo]

Just remember this:

If you dialed the show because you have a funny Ramone call...

You don't.

Hang up.

[watsonnostaw]

Ron also mentioned that people are using "punching out" inappropriately as well...


but once again who gives a fuck

its radio, ron and fez have an outstanding show, and that fucking puppet roberto brings the show to a schreaching halt more often then a ramon call

[askewcore]

Just remember this:

If you dialed the show because you have a funny Ramone call...

You don't.

Hang up.

Dumb Caller: "RAMONNNNE GET FEZZIE A COCK! hahaha Fez is gay"

Ron: "Did ya think this call was gonna get a laugh from everyone in the room?"

Dumb Caller: "Yeah."

Ron: "Yeah me too" *click*

[DonTheTrucker]

The callers rarely bring anything funny to Ron and Fez, Ron has a habit of hanging up and going to the next caller too fast.

Like I said, its a defferent show. Ron letting the callers get one thought in and moving on is a good way to let more people have a say in the topic.

[askewcore]

Ron only cuts off the callers that you can tell are gonna suck, it seems like he tries to get them before they fuck up the flow. If a caller has something good to contribute Ron and Fezzie are great at playing off it.

[absinthe]

I'm glad that I'm not alone in this, it stopped being funny the second time Jimmy did it. I think the guy is great, but Ramone and him reading the comics are just painful. Ron and Fez are growing on me more than most shows have.

[Death Metal Moe]

If you Ramone call the shows you're a Communist.

Plain and simple.

[7cent]

hmm, doesn't make sense, and surprisingly close to WBL's post.. not very mod like, if you ask me.

I don't think anyone was being a critic, just trying to give a clue to some of the morons that may think we all laff and laff when they call r & f with their ramone calls.

[Death Metal Moe]

Yea, whoever wants to diss this point go ahead. The truth is the truth.

You people with your Ramone calls suck ass and need to stop. It kills any and all comedy that is happening.

And if you think you're "getting one over" on whichever show you call, you are the most dense faggot on the planet.

[askewcore]

That the same shit I say about Dave.

Ramone calls stink.

except when jimmy does it and during ferrell's show

[Death Metal Moe]

For sure. Jimmy is the only exception, and it's him and all the writers on the show putting their best material out there.

Callers are fucking annoying with it, that's why it's a great tool to attack enemy shows with.

Other than that, no one should be Ramone-ing anywhere.

[askewcore]

When Jimmy does it its funny, but thats cause Jimmy is a comedian. I dont wanna speak for Moe, but I think he was talking more about people who call R&F with Ramones. They all suck.

Edit: Moe spoke for himself. I stink.

except during ferrell, was I the only one here who was listen during that travesty? fuckin hysterical

[LiddyRules]

What makes Jimmy's Ramon calls work is that we buy into Steve from Yellowstone and Ben from Boston. They're fully formed people. They ask real questions, wait for an answer, ask another question luring the people into a false sense of security and then RAMON, get this guy an AIDS quilt.

Callers, on the other hand, just seem to think the Ramon part is funny when really it's a) the anticipation and b) the switch around. Just calling to say Ramon, or saying three words of a fake question and then Ramon is saying the punchline without the set up. It's just too high concept for a lot of people it seems.

[Turtle]

I think it's just one guy. He ends his call every time with "Ramone get Fez a cock"

Have you guys picked up on any other dickheads doing ramone calls?

[Swede Boy]

Don't know, I think I remember hearing two "Ramone get Fez a cock"'s in a row, although not lately.
So it might just be som retard not realizing when a bit is dead.

[DonTheTrucker]

I think my 20 ramone calls a day to Direct TV helped.

Other than use against ememies I have sworn off any further use of ramone.

[Jenosyde]

Quite frankly, since the inception of the Ramone calls, I think it's been a crutch. Instead of fans coming up with creative original prank calls like in the past, it's the hip thing to take the road widely traveled and throw out an easy Ramone call.

[jscully]

...the people who do do the ramon calls to R&F...

Rammooooone....he said do-do.

[chickenhauler]

Ramone calls work well for throwing off the timing of hack radio shows.
If R&F are pro's they'd be able to roll with it and come out of it with a laugh.
But I guess when you have to ride coattails like these two hacks you have no other choices but to put up with the antics of O&A's goofy fans OR go back to being a one town flop doing hack radio bits.

Or how about the concept that co-opting someone else's punchline DOES NOT MAKE YOU FUNNY.

There...let that sit there for a moment.

Not only that - but it NEVER makes YOU funny. It's makes you a PARROT. And calling into a show that knows the bit better than you also makes you STUPID.

There is nothing more hack and limp dick than the Ramone calls, period. Yeah, R&F attempted to roll with it, both with that and the racist calls early on, but obviously they overestimated some of the listeners to distinguish between something clever and funny and something that is weak and humorless.

There is not a day in the week that I wouldn't take my humor from someone who use to roll with Bill Hicks over some internet fag whose hairless nutsack just dropped last week.

Hi Agenda Poster! You're the best.

Fucking homo.

Actually, you're the fucking asshole who did it, they made look like the piece of humorless shit that you are, and now you're all pissed off. Awww, it's gonna be OK. Just wait for someone else to come up with your funny bits again. Hey, I bet you could get through with a "Kickin'" NO HOMO call on Fez today! Yea, that'll be hysterical!
