View Full Version : The Bubba commercial is embarassing
snaktime badguy 01-05-2006, 05:18 PM The "Slim Shady" parody they play during the news is incredibly stupid. It's not funny, it's not fun, and the Slim Shady song was released 7 years ago.
I really hope that his show is not so bad that this is the best ad they could come up with. It doesn't seem possible.
JohnnyLongBone 01-05-2006, 05:23 PM u kidding, right?
Hubcap626 01-05-2006, 05:24 PM I enjoyed it.
snaktime badguy 01-05-2006, 05:28 PM Hmm. Must just be me. I just remember hearing parodies of the song on the radio that actually made me laugh, and that was back in the 90's. I mean, he hasn't been off the air that long that he has to play something so old for a commercial.
JohnnyLongBone 01-05-2006, 05:46 PM to be fair the content will tell. i think the "my name is" lends it'self in 2 ways
Bubba proclaimes himself by name, Bubba alligns himself with individuality.
i think the song is a great choice givin the fact that Em is on Sirius too. it gives the feel of family, as did the Martha Stewart intro at the Hardrock. Sirius is creating an environment with a true human divercity. fun will be poked, jokes made, and love shared.
point is that in any real family everyone gets a chance, a voice. just look how far i got. give peace a chance

sonicdescent 01-06-2006, 05:03 AM I'm with you snaktime..I am going to give him a chance next week, hopefully Howard has whipped him into shape.
ScottfromOhio 01-06-2006, 07:48 AM I haven't heard Bubba's show in a few years, but it used to be fairly entertaining. I'll give him a few weeks. The Eminem song isn't horrible, but he's done better.
Pussah2 01-06-2006, 08:09 AM greg brady does a better parody of the same song
this tonite 01-06-2006, 10:41 AM When I was a kid, I was in the car with my family going back to the hotel after a day at 6 flags in Tampa. I remember a bit a DJ was doing on the radio where Snow White was banging the seven dwarfs. My parent's faces turned bright red and they hit the dial really fast. I could tell they were very uncomfortable with us hearing it, lol. I've been wondering for a while if that could have been Bubba's show.
robins_browneye 01-06-2006, 06:34 PM i think bubba will suck. i can't believe stern even hired him.
sonicdescent 01-07-2006, 04:24 AM the "ned" prank call to some Latin embassy was just fucking stupid. I hope they are deliberately setting low expectations.
workingStiff 01-08-2006, 10:58 AM I've never heard any Bubba shows, but I'm willing to give him a chance. If Howard thinks he's good enuf, then, why not?
jefe2119 01-08-2006, 11:36 AM When does his new show start?
SideShowBob 01-08-2006, 06:41 PM I never heard Bubba and the few ned calls I heard were so stupid and setup that it was Opie and Anthony kind of dumb...I hope he doesn't bomb and waste our time
TISSUE TIME 01-08-2006, 06:58 PM Bubba is very funny, He will hold is own and no one needs to whip him into shape... Remember this, howard was still on the radio, Bubba was so brutal he got black balled by the fcc.. His show will be fine, Hopefully ned gets his shit together and gets on board.. Tune into Howard 101 from 4-8pm monday to find out....
tmdouglas 01-08-2006, 07:46 PM Bubba is awesome, if you are a good ole boy kind of guy. He will bring a redneck point of view onto Sirius. Howard is the King and Bubba is the Prince of all media.

Yeah bubba's show is pretty good, why they found the worst most obscure parody is beyond me and it is stupid, I'm glad I'm not the only one that noticed, a lot of his stuff is fucking great, why they chose that one I'll never know.
ShawnT 01-08-2006, 09:07 PM Neds call to the Mexican embassy is REALLY FUNNY.
I'll be curious to hear what he's like because those two appearences he made on Howard's FM show were NOT good.
He sounded like any of the morning zoo guys that Howard routinely critized. He was trying too hard. Could be completely wrong about this.
I'll give a fair listen though. Howard must know what he's doing.
Hooper 01-09-2006, 11:41 AM I've never heard Buba till today on the show and I laughed my ass off!

While I appreciate your enthusiasm, Bubba is by far not the prince of all media. The only media he's been succesful in has been old fashioned boring radio. He's never done TV, Movies, or print.
Howard, on the other hand, dominated every medium when he tried his hand at it, except TV, but even there he did well.
bboyneko 01-10-2006, 07:43 PM son of the beach sure did amazingly well
SpringsternFan 01-11-2006, 02:56 AM Bubba has several sites http://www.btls.com/ Google "Bubba the love sponge" for the [explicit rest - two belong in adult chat - and the undeveloped http://www.siriusbubba.com/ might as well link to the one above... Why should SIRIUS reinvent the wheel? The SIRIUS one needs to lose that noise...
I listened to Bubba once and some isolated clips. Don't know that I'll listen daily, but I can see why he'd appeal to some.
mccloskeym 01-23-2006, 10:34 PM Seriously man, if you didn't laugh at the FCC call, you must be DEAD! I had never heard bubba until he jumped onto Sirius and the way he's stepped up and made me laugh, I have to say I am almost more a fan of him than I am of Howard. I have listened to Howard for years, and his show is still great, but he doesn't take many random calls. Bubba talks to everyone, truckers included which are about as funny as it gets.
He's not Stern and while there are similarities, I think his show is as perfect a fit as you can get for the afternoon. he's just a different flavor with different intrests.
The Eminem parody was AWESOME!!! Its about damn time someone made fun of O&A considering their ENTIRE show is all about Stern and trying to mock him.
Besides, didn't Howard re-do the damn gay street boys today? I'll take slim shady ANY day over those tools.
