The Isms Game: Bobby's Verbal Tics Get a $5 Price Tag
At 9:30 · chapter starts 7:28
Bobby Lee's algorithm kept surfacing clips of himself, and fans at his graphic novel signing started quoting his own phrases back at him — which is how he became uncomfortably aware of his own verbal tics. He pitches a game: every identified 'ism' he uses going forward costs him $5, paid to producer McCone. The live cataloguing session is chaotic: three consecutive 'yeah's is an offense, two 'no's is fine but one is the limit, 'can I say something' is an ism, 'the thing is is that' counts double, and kicking the table costs $5. The Elmo laugh — Bobby's high-pitched hysterical cackle — briefly makes the list before Bobby lobbies it out. Within the first minutes of play, he racks up roughly $40 in violations. The segment is meta-comedy at its best: the show examining itself from the inside. Andrew noted he never has to pay because he doesn't repeat Bobby's words back.
