George Noory Sucks! - The Definitive Compendium

[Sardondi]

Classic George moments.... what Noory really means when he says "another classic C2C show."  It should be easy to do classic George moments.  Just take each C2C show and edit it out "The Chase" opening music. 

"Another classic show" is one of those meaningless verbal tics, to be taken as seriously as the description of every single interviewee as "a very special guest".

"Another classic show" is one of those meaningless verbal tics, to be taken as seriously as the description of every single interviewee as "a very special guest".

Exactly right!  A very special guest would be someone who actually has something interesting to talk about and is not a psychic.  Maybe GN says this so much because people in his life refer to him as "special" and he thinks they are being nice.  So, he's trying to be nice to others by saying they are special. 

[El Kragen]

Last night contained another perfect example of the appalling way Noory treats his callers. ...And that's as far as we got. The volume on her call dropped and the signal broke up slightly. Literally within a couple of seconds, Noory barked at her, in a horribly harsh voice, 'Where'd you go? where'd you go? Get back to your phone.' he allowed a couple more moments. She was still breaking up, although words were coming through. Noory curtly remarks 'OK. Yup. Can't understand you.'

When Breggin asked her 'Did you have a question.' Noory said, dismissively, 'She's gone, Peter. Go.

I switched over for a few minutes and caught this gem. Appalling to say the least. I've heard him do this multiple times.

I always got the impression George is one of those types who sucks at his job (obviously) and to make up for it he over does it with things he thinks will make the boss happy. Instead of getting better at the job as a whole he major's in the minors."NO BAD CONNECTIONS NO DEAD AIR CRAM AS MANY CALLS AS POSSIBLE!" I'm sure that repeats in his head like a broken record. Then he thinks he has a leg to stand on when he gets called out on his poor peformance: "But but but..."

[ItsOver]

Since Snoory has no intelligent creativity, he is one verbal tic after another.  He reminds me of the old juke box that mechanically goes searching for the next record to play......"let's see"..... record #5..........."Howwwwwwrrrrreeeeeeeuuuuuuu?"    click...click....click...click.... record # 3 "Sumpthins gonna happnnn!"

Which is just more evidence he knows he sucks.

George will never, ever miss a station break.  It's as if his eyes are glued to the clock.  When he hears the music indicating a break is coming up soon, he'll immediately cut a person off even of it's right in the middle of the punchline after a lengthy buildup, or someone wrapping up a story of a loved one dyig a tragic death, if need be.

I can't stand how he goes into breaks.  9 times out of ten I just get this feeling like he's being a dick about it.  I know that he has to take breaks and it's part of the show but the way he does it for some reason always comes off like he just arbitrarily decided it was time for a break... like "fuck you and your story break time!!"

I doubt if sNoory looks at the clock.  The producer (or computer) does that and starts the music.  sNoory just hears the music and cuts off the guest.  Compare to Art on the old shows where the music begins to play, but Art lets the guest talk on - or interjects more gently.  Art, I'm almost certain, would hear the music, then look at the clock and actually know exactly how much time he had.

sNoorty sucks.

Noory's Psychic-Suckfest last night featured his favorite way to do his show with a different guest each hour plus 1/2 of the time spent with callers for them.
That way Noory doesn't have to ask very many questions for each guest and with different guests he can reuse some of his questions over again for each one.
Typical lazy Noory.

The middle psychic guest last night if you looked at her website she had lots of ultra-liberal political views tainting her psychic predictions on the election. She wants her prediction of Obama winning to come true, so at her website she posts lots of anti-Romney and anti-Republican stuff that is all lies and doom&gloom fears and promotes voting for all democrats to take over the house too.

[Juan]

Don't forget she also predicted Hillary will win in 2016.  sNoory was very excited.

The guest could be reporting real-time the actual end of the world (not the Major Dames made-up one) and Snoory would just do his usual ho-hum launch into a break, totally indifferent to what was being reported.  Carnivora sure gets Snoory worked-up into a frenzy, though.

[eddie dean]

another thing that Gn does that always annoys the shit out of me.  The guest is working his way up to a very important point and George cuts them off to go to a break, promising the point will be revisited after the break, and  it rarely is. George will forget about it and ask the next cue card questions. I recall one night when that happened and the guest had to remind george, after the break, to allow him to continue with his point, and George begrudgingly did, but you could hear George's rage bubbling just underneath the surface.

He will do that with callers as well, ask a question and George will go to break and the question is never answered . it's almost as if George uses the commercial breaks to get out of questions he does not want to answer, or is incapable of answering.
He sucks!!!

Which is just more evidence he knows he sucks.

George will never, ever miss a station break.  It's as if his eyes are glued to the clock.  When he hears the music indicating a break is coming up soon, he'll immediately cut a person off even of it's right in the middle of the punchline after a lengthy buildup, or someone wrapping up a story of a loved one dyig a tragic death, if need be.

Talk of George and breaks reminded me of the moment on Tuesday night when Peter Fairfield, in response to a Noory question said something like 'OK, but I realise I'll have to brief'
Noory asked why and Fairfield said because he was aware a break was coming up. Noory suddenly turned into Queen Bitch. No there isn't, he told Fairfield, you have plenty of time. He then followed up with 'You do the talking, Peter, and I'll worry about the breaks' and adding 'There's nothing worse than a guest who listens to the show too much' as though he was talking to himself or to Tommy and Lisa off air.
Later, when a break actually was approaching, he said he wanted to test Fairfield's 'broadcasting skills' and asked him to talk them into the break.

And did anyone catch Noory's advice to Skype callers last night? Basically that if you're calling on Skype you should make sure you have your camera switched off, because although you can't see Tommy, he can see you. It was obvious what he meant, but Noory kept repeating it with dramatic pauses before finally revealing that he was talking about naked callers. If that wasn't creepy enough, he then got a fit of recurring giggles which sounded as though Tommy was sending screen grabs of topless chicks (or possibly trouserless guys) to George's screen.
Very odd all round.

Noory has definite control issues and takes it personal when guests go trampling all over his territory like break announcements... its all Noory can actually do that he doesn't suck at... although that's debatable too.  I didnt hear the skype stuff but now I really wanna hit him up on skype while doing something disturbing on camera.  ok maybe not.  My guess is his little giggling spell was the result of Tommy's constant ball massages... They have bunk desks and Tommy is on the bottom you know.
Sooooo, who thinks George is going to do that story about the guy who jumped into the Lions Den at the Bronx Zoo today?

Was a child killed or maimed? If so he'll be all over it...

[ManiacMatt]

And did anyone catch Noory's advice to Skype callers last night?

Yes, I did.  It just reinforced the fact that GN doesn't have a clue as to how to handle almost anything.  No tact, no class, no style...just a complete amateur.  It's sad that someone like GN who has been in broadcasting for so long has yet to develop any real professional skill at it.  I'll put my "broadcasting skills" up against GN any day.

If I treated people the way GN does, I would be out of business.  So, who is the retard that keeps his lazy ass behind the microphone!?

[eddie dean]

if he does talk about the guy at the zoo, he will say somthing like: " there is sumthen goin on out there" or "people are acting very strange, I can feeeeel it"

[Morgus]

Noory is totally clueless tonight as usual.
He introduced his guest  Varla Ventura and immediately kept asking her if she was related to his 'good friend' Jesse Ventura.
Noory wasn't even aware that Jesse Ventura is not his real name, he picked it after the city named Ventura in southern California when he was a pro wrestler. 

[ziznak]

holy crap its that time already!?  first guest looked cool just going by whats on the coast site.

[Morgus]

Noory is fascinated with werewolves tonight.
Somebody should post a photo here of Noory as the Wolfman.
Be sure to have a silver bullet handy.

[ziznak]

wolfenoory gettin his hair did by by hoaxen-boy:

[Morgus]

Nitwit Noory just did it again.
He recommended on the air just now the old movie "Old Yeller" for a movie about a nice, friendly dog and a happy movie.
Noory - that movie was about a dog that got bit and ended up rabid and mean and had to be killed by the kid, not a very 'happy' ending...

[ziznak]

lol and then he started talking about fairies and leprechauns... NOORY SUX!!!!

[ManiacMatt]

A caller just mentioned the death of her father.  Guess what happened!  GN started blabbering about losing his father!  He is so predictable. 

[ziznak]

omg with the skype crap again!!!
like little kids...
Tommy "well, you saw it George"
GN "Noooooooo I didn't"
Tommy "I showed it to ya!"
GN "Naaaaaaaaw I didn't! gwah gwah gwah gwah gwah"

and another geographical specification classic tonight...
GN "We have a caller from Quebec... which is in Canada"
said like he assumes we don't know where Quebec is and said in a very proud tone...

there's been some other stuff that cracked me up too but I can't remember right now... this is one of those "classic Coast to Coasts!"

[ChewMouse]

Nitwit Noory just did it again.

He did that? My God, the man is insane! Everyone knows that "Old Yeller" is the saddest movie ever ever ever made, I'm choking up just writing this. (Not to mention the book! It's horribly sad!)

He really said that? It wasn't in the context of a joke?

Because "Old Yeller" is America's tribute to utter morbid sadness! Nobody should see it, but certainly no one under the age of thirty-five!

[ManiacMatt]

The king of the idiots just said, "there's somethin' goin' on can ya feel it?" as if he is making a hugely profound commentary.  Completely pointless as usual.

yes absolutely Nimwit Noory did that.
Noory thought Old Yeller was a happy dog movie, he immediately recommended it as a happy alternative over scary movies about devil dogs.

You are so right, Morgus. That movie, as nostalgic as everybody of a certain age gets about it, is better in memory than in the actual experience of it. It is absolutely traumatic for kids under about 10 years old.

True story. My parents took me, thinking, "It's a Disney movie, so it'll be great for little 5-year-old Sardondi , right?" Wrong. As soon as it became apparent the boy was going to have to kill Yeller, I went bazoo. In the theater I was wailing at the top of my lungs, "They're gonna shoot Old Yeller! They're gonna shoot Old Yeller!" Leaving the theater, "They shot Old Yeller! They shot Old Yeller!" In the car all the way home: "They shot Old Yeller! They shot Old Yeller!" At home, in my bedroom, "They shot Old Yeller! Thy shot Old Yeller!" This went on a couple of hours until I just collapsed out of exhaustion. I was in 5-year-old depression for a few days after seeing that horrible movie. Movies were an only-every-couple-of-month thing for me as a young kind, but I think my parents had to find some kid movie to take me to in the next couple of days to try to wash that terrible Old Yeller out of my brain.

So once again we see Noory has a perfect instinct for those things that traumatize children. Something is very broken about that man.

And he originally called the movie "Old Yellow" before the guest corrected him.

George Noory sucks.

[Juan]

He offered Old Yeller as an alternative to Cujo.  Seems like the same movie to me.
sNoory sucks.
