Fantastic line that. However, it is Dave to Joe, not Bill. I didn't
want to appear all arrogant as I'm certainly not infallible! Just a
warning should the question 'who did Dave say this line too?' ever be
posed in a tense situation.
Dave: Have you ever heard the expression 'you can catch more flies
with honey than vinegar?'
Bill: Have you ever heard the expression that only hillbillies sit
around figuring out the best way to catch flies?!

Thats my favourite Newsradio moment too, thanks for bringing it to my
attention - its been a few hours since I've laughed out loud in public
whilst remembering it! Who said violence wasn't funny?
More in our cavalcade of quotes!
Dave: 'Bill'
Matthew: 'Yeah'
Dave: 'Tells you lies - because he thinks thats funny'
Matthew: 'I don't see whats funny about that'
Dave: 'Thats kinda the point'
and the show goes on.....
Bill: 'What about all those phone calls you said we got about people
saying Joe was great?'
Lisa: 'I made those up'
Bill: 'Why?'
Lisa: 'To drive you insane'
Bill: 'WELL IT DIDN'T WORK!!!'
and finally....this isn't word for word but you'll know what I mean...
Lisa: 'Bill, have you got the final draft for todays 'Real Deal?'
Bill: 'Its all in here Lisa' *he points to his head*
Lisa: 'Bill, you can't just go on the air and make stuff up!'
Bill: 'I'll improvise!'
Dave: 'Yes, but Bill when you improvise the show usually consists of
inane ramblings about randomly placed objects within the broadcast
booth'
Bill: 'Well, I for one thought my piece 'Microphones - why do they
have to be so close to your face?' was very good'
Thats enough typing for now.

True.
How about this, though:
Bill: Why would she, Dave? Why would she ... french her daddy?
and of course:
"This is a two-part question. 1. What does Lisa look like naked? And 2. What
does Lisa feel like naked?"
Bill: It smells like an ashtray when I pee. Is there anything you can do to
help with that?
Dave: Gosh, I hope not.
Here's a good Dave one:
"No I am not paranoid cause I can say without a trace of irony you're all
out to get me!"
Tay-vee
>or that tall singing dude:

I can't believe someone mentioned this. It cracks me up EVERY TIME. For awhile
I was just walking around saying, "Heh heh, Bowser" a la Brian Posehn.

That would have to be my all-time favorite Newsradio quote.
Although the episode where Bill invents new ways to use the word
"Adequate" comes in a close second.

I was in Tampa this past weekend for a seminar, and they still air NewsRadio on
the UPN affiliate. It turns out that the episode they aired on Thursday was
the first episode with Brad Rowe. Of course it has the Unca Jeemee lines
throughout.
It's good to post again.

I found his crackpot peptalk for Boomhauer slightly reminiscent of some of
Mr. James's attempts to psyche up Dave...

Bill and Dave SCREAMING at Matthew in "smoking".
And...
The pre-programmed, Real-Deal singing jingle of "Well Screw YOU TOO"
Good times, good times.
(P.S. King of the Hill is great, because Bill is the best character to watch.
My favorite Bill moment HAS to be when Hank goes to New Orleans, and at the end
of the episode he goes back to pick up Bill who has been having 'relations'
with his cousins. Bill's only words as Hank picks him up is "BOTH of 'em!"-
Pure gold.)
I love and miss you all.

always like the lines preceeding "Good times" I really dislike the actual "GT,
GT" line for some wierd reason. Can not figure out why but I guess its like Joe
wanted to kick that big singing guy's a$$. The "Hah! Bowser" line came well
after Joe's wanting to kick his butt for some unknown reason. "I guess this is
one of those mysteries that we will never figure out" :)

Well I believe he was pissed because when they started to practice one guy
asked what he was doing and he said he wanted to watch and the big guy put his
hand on Joe's shoulder and said "Sorry, but this is a closed rehearsal." and
then as Joe started to go towards the guy Dave steps in and says," Let it go
Joe." I am pretty sure that is why Joe does not like him.

You could be right but I thought it was the "sagacious" lawyer dude who
said "closed rehearsal" I could be wrong but I thought there was a line from
Joe that said something like "I don't know what it is but I want to kick that
big singing guys ass" Kinda like Joe wanting to beat up some punk rockers and
could only find skateboarders and Beth says "Yeah, skateboarders are real
wankers, can I come with you next time?"

memories from the show, I had to pitch in, heh.
> The pre-programmed, Real-Deal singing jingle of "Well Screw YOU TOO"
LOL! I love that one. I need one of those in my daily life...
Other personal faves (gosh, there are MANY!) are:
- "Rockelt fuel malt liqour DAMN!"
- The whole scene where Dave reads the messages in the complaint box.
"Shaft!" Hahahaha.
- "But Jimmy has fancy plans. And pants to match."
- "Farm boat same difference."
And recently I've found myself overusing "dilznoofus" for no apparent
reason...

... then there's the other "Shaft" reference, in "Big Day"(?) within
earshot of Matthew:
"Hey Joe, who's the private dick who gets all the chicks?"
"I believe that would be 'Shaft', Bill."
...
Lil'
Ebert to do your job." And I would say, "Sir, Siskel and Ebert are
two guys." And I'm sure you would then come back with, "Dave just
'cause the man is fat is no reason to make fun of him."
and, of course,
"I want a baby. A what? A baby. Well, ya can't have a damn baby."
...that's the *best* episode. Ever.
Chad R. Bates
Episode EVER.
It also has the funniest lines.
All of the Translated- Retranslated lines of Jimmies Book make me laugh so
hard, Milk shoots out of my nose. And I haven't had milk in Years.
I had a small house of Brokerage on Wall Street, many days no business comes
to my hut. But Jimmy has fear? A thousand times NO! I never doubted myself
for a minute, for I knew my Monkey Strong bowels were girded with strength,
like the loins of a Dragon, ribboned with fat, and the opulence of Buffalo
Dung.
Soon the Super Karate Monkey Death Car would park in my space. But Jimmy
has fancy plans, and Pants to Match.
Jimmy James, the Man so nice they named him Twice.
