I just got the new Entertainment Weekly. The back page is a Q&A thing called Stupid Questions and this week it has H2 and Conan O'Brien favorite Triumph the Insult Comic Dog (Robert Smigel).
Q: In your anti-neutering anthem "Bob Barker", you sing , "These teeth are sharp and the price is right. Gonna neuter your ass with one nut-crackin' bite." After seeing Barker viciously take down Adam Sandler in Happy Gilmore, don't you think you should steer clear of this game-show icon?
A: That movie was like 10 years ago. Barker's so old, he looks like a chew toy I threw out last year. At least when I go for a walk, I can find my way back. When we're in a room together, he's the one they blame for farting. Wait, I got more. I saw him naked backstage; normally, I eat grass when I want to puke.
Triumph's new CD, "Come Poop With Me", will be in stores on November 4th.

I would venture to say this isn't the best time for this type of thread about TPIR, but I'll leave it to the ops. to ultimately decide.

I agree!
X gets the square!

I apologize if this sounds insensitive but it's been 4 days. I'm over it.

I don't think this is inappropriate. There's a GS connection, it's something readers on this board who enjoy both game shows and late night TV will want to know about, and it's not like we're mocking Bob because he cried when he heard the news about Rod or something. It's a freaking puppet making joke remarks about Bob Barker.

Look, it's newsworthy. If you think that all discussion about TPiR must cease because of this week's sad news, then all I can say to you using polite words is that I strongly disagree with that idea.
Writing about it a few weeks from now means it's no longer news, it's olds.
Besides, when is the right time to talk about a rubber dog puppet singing a song about biting Bob Barker in his spay/neuter zone? Tell me and I'll be sure to remember it next time this issue comes up.

Triumph's done the grass-eating joke before. Sad.

OK everybody. First thing Monday morning, let's all find the country's largest maker of earplugs and buy one thousand shares of stock each. I predict on Tuesday morning sales will be through the roof.

Yeah, but that's the schtick. He's supposed to be an old Catskills insult comic. You know, someone in the mold of a Don Rickles, but instead of calling people "hockey puck", his catchphrase is "For me to poop on!" And those comedians always had a limited number of jokes to call up.
Anyway, 'tis funny to me. :)
