View Full Version : Tommy, can you hear me?

For as long as Ron has been doing the "Tommy, can you hear me?" bit, don't you think people named Tommy would get the hint and just call in as Tom or Thomas? Don't get me wrong, I love the bit, especially since he's added the Who playing in the background. I think it's hilarious that he just ends up hanging up on the callers.

I have thought the same thing. If my name was Tommy, no way would I use it when I called in....hilarious bit though!

People just don't get it... that's what makes that so funny. As soon as Ron says "Tommy... your on Ron and Fez. Tommy.... Tommy??? Tommy can you hear me?" I start laughing... and it's great. I lost my shit weeks ago when that dood called in and said "OK... I get it... Pink Floyd." GOLD!!!

<p>agreed!</p><p>but have to figure there are some new listeners to the show who never heard the bit... i'm a little on the fence with this one. you may be 'turning off' a new listener</p><p>hopefully the listener will hang in there and eventually figure out what;s going on. as a matter of fact there was a Tommy who called in tonight and they just let him say what he had to say</p>

but even guys who know what's going on...(laughing when Ron asks "Tommy?") STILL don't get it and don't get through! It's damn funny through every time a Tommy calls...

He's saying because you are named Tommy, if you called the show and used the name Tommy not knowing the response you were about to get THEN you'd be fucked.</p>

<p>I'm on the fence about the bit. I thought it was funny when he eventually let the caller talk, but I don't find it funny when he just waits for the caller to hang up, or perhaps he hangs up on them. Not sure which. It's also getting rather old and stops the show rather than adds to it. But, there is also the fact that people should just not call up as Tommy. He does the bit at least once a day and I think it's always the same guy.</p><p> Either way, bit's getting old. </p>
Every time I hear the "Tommy Can You Hear Me" bit, I keep hoping that the caller will<br />get it and sing or say any of the Tommy lines back to Ron. Maybe that's what Ron's<br />looking for with the bit?<br />

I've never heard the song but I figured that's what it was cause he plays it in the background sometimes. The funny thing to me is the callers that are like, "ok, I'm not falling for that."...no, there's nothing not to fall for, once you say your name is Tommy...you're done.

How should a Tommy caller respond? I suppose the obvious answer is "Can you feel me near you?", although, if I was a Tommy caller, I think I would respond "I've got crazy flipper fingers!"

I remember seeing the broadway play, Tommy, when I was a kid. Fuckin weirded me out, but the bit on the show is hysterical.
<p>it seems like the same tommy is calling in for a lot of those calls too... you'd think he would get it by now...</p><p>if i were a tommy, i'd call in and keep repeating "ronnie?" i wonder how long that would go.</p>
