25 Greatest Moments from The Howard Stern Show

Believe it or not, the T&A is actually NOT the best part of the show, despite the fact that non-Stern listeners seem to think that it' the only thing the Howard Stern show is about.

Let' be honest- boobs on the radio can only be interesting for so long. What' really kept fans tuning in since the local Channel 9 TV show days is the feeling that we're listening in on a family- a highly dysfunctional family- but a family, nonetheless. Of all the many facets of the show, the strange camaraderie between Stern and his sidekicks is what we hope stays intact after the move to Sirius.

Here are our favorite moments…

CRACKED' Top 25 Stern Show Moments

25. Artie Lange gets ridiculously drunk in Las Vegas -- and cameras capture every hilariously slurred insult. The carnage is currently up on Howard On Demand (check local cable listings).



24. The Jackie Puppet- commanded by Billy "Ren & Stimpy" West in the mid-'90s-was one brutal block of wood. Most common victim? Jackie "The Joke Man" Martling, of course.

23. World's Meanest Listener Contest: Listeners submit entries roasting the staff of the Stern show. Slipping through a loophole in the system, the Reverend Bob Levy wins, barely beating out Yucko the Clown and Sal the Stockbroker.

22. Backside Boys (animation): This animated parody music video for the Backside Boys' "I Went the Gay Way" is the stuff of legend. The video should be launched into space as an ambassador of the Planet Earth.

21. Craig Gass as Gene Simmons: The anti-Christopher Walken impression. Have you EVER heard of anyone doing a Gene Simmons impression before? Craig-along with Stern crew writing-did everything with this that should be done with an impression: spot-on voice, and (moderate) exaggeration of what makes the real-life Gene what he is… a KISS marketing whore! And then ultimately, Gene met "Gene." Phenomenal.

20. AJ Benza bitch-slaps Stuttering John- and gets banned from the show-almost surreal.

19. "Brown Fingers" video starring Scott the Engineer — circa 1995: The crew alleged that Scott' smoking was so out of control that the cigarette tar was actually staining his fingers brown. Thusly was born a parody of the Stones' "Brown Sugar" and an accompanying music video starring Scott Salem as a seven-foot cigarette.

18. Wood-Yee: He will be missed, as we cannot confirm he's moving over to Sirius. Played by Woody Allen sound-alike Steve the Engineer, he would often sit in when the show had an attractive female guest on… of the Asian persuasion. Typical Wood-Yee proposition: "Go ahead and swallow, I don't contain any MSG." And there were hundreds more.

17. Rita G has the World's Most Perfect Natural Breasts: What was most hilarious about this episode was the legion of K-Rock male employees who were "skeptical" of them being real, and lined up to squeeze them for themselves. Benjy actually resorted to a taste test. (Currently available On Demand).

16. Hollyweird Squares: The game show spoof, using different Wack Pack permutations each time, would throw in an occasional real celebrity for good measure. One hilarious tangent that comes to mind is Howard asking Daniel "KKK Guy" Carver if he'd allow Jeff "The Drunk" Curro into his white-hooded club. Daniel said that he'd have to ask Jeff a few questions first, to see if he'd qualify. Jeff to Daniel: "Ask me the questions, bitch." That disqualified Jeff, right there.

YOU DICK!!!!!

Gilbet "Dice" Gottfried destroying Gay Jaffe Cohen is the funniest thing ever done on TV. Whaddya you, a h**o???? OHHHHHHHHHH

I agree with the previous poster, I was a huge fan of Stern when he was on 92.3, but his last year or so turned me off-Bush is destroying my career(except when he "made" you go to Sirius and make $500 million), to many commercials, blah blah blah. Hope you're doing well Howard being a big fish in a little pond

How about the part where he charges $12.95 a month for a 3 hour show? Or the part where he vacations every 2 weeks and doesn't work Fridays because he's "earned it"? Or how about how he promised fewer commercials but the commercial time averages out pretty much the same since he cut an hour from his show? Or how about the part where he decided to make even more money off of people by launching an on-demand channel? Totally awesome!!

I used to be a big Stern fan up until about mid-way of year two at Sirius. Now all we here about is how miserable he is while he makes about $17,000 a minute (add it up yourself, it checks out). In the words of the mediocre comedian who everyone thinks is the greatest comedian in the world, WAH!!

Oh and also, did you hear? Turns out Stern invented television. Also the electric car. Yep. Everyone rips him off. The Big Bang? That was Stern.

His show is only funny anymore once in a while. Which isn't worth a monthly fee, and listening to the same bits over and over during his vacations, which come with great frequency. Then every once in a while, Artie has a meltdown, or there's a fight in the studio, usually conveniently placed right before one of his extended vacations, so that we make sure and "tune in in two weeks to find out if Artie really quit the show." He's just as phony as the people he rails against.

Anybody remember the "n****r Hatin' Hat" bit as it morphs into The Beverly Hillbillies? A Billy classic. Another beaut was Jackie Puppet insulting Conan O'Brien.
