Your favorite funniest moment in Dallas Radio?

D

DFW_Radio_2000

Mine is from a certain former afternoon talk show host, that a lot of people on this board are bitter towards...

He was bringing up a time he was at Best Buy standing in line next to a guy with a baby arm that looked like a duck bill sticking out of his sleeve. Asked why anyone would walk around with short sleeves if they had an arm like that, it's inviting everyone to mock. Then (acting as if he was a kid), "Mommy, mommy, look!" then played a sound fx "quack".

It was quite hilarious at the time. I almost hit the car next to me I was laughing so hard. I even stayed up late that night to catch the replay, to hear it again. Obviously, I do it no justice since I'm trying to type it out for people who could care less about the guy...But had me rolling when I heard it live.

A close 2nd would be when I heard the bone play a quick filler couple weeks ago, "Your #1 rock station" - That was funny too.

;D :D ;D What's your favorite funniest moment in Dallas Radio? :D ;D :D
 
Mine was also from said afternoon host... There was an African American woman on the phone trying to win Blue's Clues tickets but I think they had already given away the last pair. However, JD had a pair of his own and this woman wanted them really bad. (I am going to have to clean this up a bit for the forum) Russ sugggested that perhaps JD would give up his Blue's Clues tickets if the woman would "service" JD. The woman replied "I won't but my friend might"... Russ interjected "Oh, so "sevice" by proxy, huh?" And the woman come back with "By who!?!". I had to pull over I was laughing so hard.

That and all the 911 calls and the song Whitey Got Run Over by a Chante to the tune of Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer.
 
Guess I'll throw in my 2c about same show.

He had a caller put their cordless phone in the microwave. You heard the phone go in, cook time beeps, then the door closed. Then after a few seconds there was static then silence.

Then he said "I only said put it in the microwave, I didn't tell him to actually cook it."
 
In no particular order:

Mike Selden on KVIL singing along on the air to The Tymes' "You Little Trustmaker"

Kidd Kraddick, anytime he did "Burn Your Buns" on The Eagle.

AW Pantoja and the library destruction in Fort Worth.

Hal Jay and "Natural Howard" with the Fire Ant Response Team (F.A.R.T.)

Plenty from Howard Stern, but yeah, he's not really "local."

Boy, I guess you get plenty of laughs watching disabled people. I cannot believe you not only found this funny but had the nerve to start a post with this. I have a deformed arm and have been the brunt of many juvenile jokes, so pardon my lack of finding humor in this. Since I almost died in the accident and then faced having my arm amputated, I am very happy to have what is left of my arm. And since we live in a state with such extreme heat, I also have the right to dress comfortable, as does the man in Best Buy. Sorry if my arm offends you.
 
All of Bo & Jim's "Wake Up Slaps" they do every morning are hilarious.

At what point did I say your retarded arm offended me? Or did I say I get plenty of laughs at diabled people? You're readin more into it than there is! I can't help it I found something amusing! I laughed at someone making fun of a disabled person, so I MUST be a bad guy. You need to lighten up a little dude...Life is too short (like some people's arm) to be uptight about what someone finds funny. Dress how you want to dress, I don't care, but when someone presents something to me in a manner that is satrical, I'm likely going to laugh.

It is kinda funny if it didn't happen to you. ;)

No, it isn't. Destroying a public library's collection in search of money supposedly planted in some of the books, prevents patrons from doing their reading / research, etc. Books that were in very good condition before the stunt, were ruined. There is absolutely nothing funny about that.

I STILL have a copy of this I got off the web site. I love it when they made fun of Garrett. Sometimes I think he is too full of himself.

The other was during a live broadcast (At the State Fair?) and they did a test of the EAS durring the Mark Davis show. The noise didn't activate and Davis noticed and started do it himself! Only problem was that he was doing the Emergency Broadcast System tone of old. After a while, he took a deep and continued!

Then I guess someone relised (Shawn Chastaine?) that the noise test wasn't gonna run so switched to the liner "...And that concludes our test of the Emergency Alert System."

Pure gold!

-BGH
 
All of the "Sam From Sales" bits from "the salesman who sells from both sides of the desk!" on WBAP. Some pretty funny stuff!

That one wasn't funny. The library lost a lot of books from that fiasco.

OK, I'll give you that. It was more of a jaw-dropping, awestruck, "OMG!" moment for me when I first heard about it. As one who depends heavily on the library for a lot of things, yeah, it's not a funny thing to happen. Just the act itself, picturing all those crazy people ransacking a whole building just to find hidden cash...what a visual.

IIRC, the station (KYNG) got stuck with the tab for cleaning everything up, and/or had to make a sizeable donation to the library to make nice.
 
Anything hears on Sportsfan 990, the worst radio in radio history, now that was funny... My favorite was when a caller said the F word ON the AIR and the hosts and board-ops A didn't drop it, B. responded to his sports point after he told them to F Off!

What ever happened to Sam?


I always got a kick out of Tales of the Old West and wondered if Stevens and Pruett made him stop. They did a similar bit on KEGL back in the day.
