Who is Bruce Pazner? He’s the only guy in the media that Gil dislikes more than Marty Moon (who may be a jerk, but he’s Gil’s jerk, to kill as he sees fit.) Read all about it here.
And speaking of everyone’s favorite jerk: Marty Moon is apparently on Twitter! I’d say more, but I want to be the only media outlet in the universe not talking about #%$*ing Twitter.

I don’t know why Gil doesn’t just embrace his new-found viral video fame…I mean if you recall, the whole thing was AWESOME. So awesome that a douche like Bruce Pazner is now using a phrase like “en fuego” to describe it, which causes the edge of his douchy panel to bevel.

Jason, you’re en fuego!

Has “Bruce” gone gray in the years since the flashback or has he given up the dorky dark hair and is trying to project a lame surfer douche image? Inquiring minds simply NEED to know.

Methinks when Gil hears T.A.P. Room, he thinks that his old frenimy is taking him to PUB

As received from Marty Moon’s latest tweet:

Bruce Pazner: When did you go blond? What happened to the ponytail (or mullet, depending on the angle of view)? And who the h@#! is “Bishop Tardy?” (Or should that be the LATE Bishop Tardy” — Tee Hee!)

4/29 panel one……..who exactly does that freak hand belong to? It can’t be Gil..it’s on the wrong side of his body………
Comment by knoxy — April 29, 2009 @ 6:56 am
#6 is right. That hand looks way too feminine to be Gil’s. Nice manicure.

4/29
Mimi: So What does THIS Bruce Panzer Want?
Gil: I guess the same thing EVERY Bruce Panzer wants … Some Tasty Waves and a Cool Buzz!
And just what happens in the T.A.P Room???

Jason, thank you, thank you, thank you. I thought I was the only old curmudgeon in the world who was sick of hearing about freaking Twitter!
Gil looks like he just received an audit notice from the IRS in yesterday’s panel 1. And is it just me, or does Mimi look particularly hot in panel 2 from today? This thing must be going to my head, like Twitter has everyone else!

T.A.P. = Tubular Anal Penetration (will that deter Gil from appearing, he is, after all, En Fuego).
The T.A.P. Room is a co-production of Bruce Pazner Media Enterprises and Videodrome (aka Dr. Brian Oblivion Productions). They mostly air gender-bending Lucha Libre, tractor-pulls and snuff films, but market analysis has revealed a growing audience for prep sports bloopers. Pazner had considered giving Sacco and Hatt a ring to recruit them to develop some cutting edge, cross-over programming, but on advice of his lawyers, he decided to respect the boundaries of a still enforceable court order forbidding him from having direct contact with minors (something to do with his participation in a short lived venture called the AASN – the Amber Alert Softball Network). When Gil’s video went viral, Bruce Pazner found the back door into the prep sports media landscape. (Pazner’s refused to take calls from Marty Moon for years. Even a bottom feeding media douchebag has standards.)

“En fuego” — how 1995. That was Dan Patrick’s catch phrase!
If Gil’s video is about to reach 400,000 hits, I bet about 390,000 have been Mimi, watching it over and over and over again and laughing her head off.

Okay, my craziness aside, maybe the T.A.P. Room is a show that Pazner put together using the discarded set from the now defunct George Michael’s Sports Machine and they found another one of Marv Albert’s relatives to say “let’s go to the videotape” and “en feugo” and “Boo-yah” and other, possibly proprietary, catch phrases.
Maybe it’s a rip-off of Celebrity Deathmatch. I’ve always thought Gil had a face for claymation.

Sorry, I’ve got too much time on my hands today.
Comment by Ned Ryerson — April 29, 2009 @ 9:59 am
If the intro sequence to the T.A.P Room goes something like “Tonight we’re going to tap Gil Thorp” … it would be very giggle worthy.
Comment by El Santo — April 29, 2009 @ 10:01 am
Hasn’t Gil already been T.A.P.P.E.D by Kaz? or was that Mimi… I am soooo confused… darn Magenta uniforms!
Comment by el lumpbo — April 29, 2009 @ 10:20 am
If Gil is “en fuego,” then Kaz is “as cool as the other side of the pillow.”

“Bishop Tardy? Bishop JAMES Tardy?” (See RAPOTM.)
Comment by Sourbelly — April 29, 2009 @ 11:36 am
I’ve been on Twitter for about 4 weeks – my name is ‘robmz’. If you follow me, I’ll follow you. Bishop Tardy is a high school where Jaquan ‘The Don’ Case went about 5 years ago. So now the video is making Gil a celebrity? Please. Next he’ll appear on Dancing With the Stars.

There’s this thing called the internet:
Bishop Louis-Michel-François Tardy, C.S.Sp. †
Deceased
Vicar Apostolic of Gabon
Titular Bishop of Acalissus

I sent a comment some time ago and it didnt publish. So here goes again – Thursday Gil and Kaz have vanity mugs, with the letters G and K on them. Weak. I also said – Wow, a whole day later and I have back-to-back posts. Gil agrees with 99% of the populace when he says he doesnt want to fly to TAP city to appear on a TV show to talk about looking stupid on a video. Hopefully the comic writer will agree.
Comment by Rob — April 30, 2009 @ 6:34 pm
I noticed those vanity mugs too Rob – how lame!
And (thanks Ennui Willie) more information on Bishop Tardy can be found on the intertube LOL.
