George Noory Sucks! - The Definitive Compendium

[Insanity]

How long do you think history channel will be able to hold off on playing every show that references 2012 as the apocalisp.

Also, I saw saw a banner add on this forum for Pizza rolls!
and-
" caller, I head the date was dec. 23, 2012."
"jorch, Uhhh Ohhhh"

[CrabbyOld Bat]

George figured someone at PremRat would find him out, realize how lousy he is, but if they were on the fence about firing him at some point - maybe if he could instill the idea with enough people that he was somehow associated with broadcasting in 2012, they might just keep him on....

Unfortunately his plan seems to have worked and now I fear he'll never retire...

FUCKING HORRIBLE!!!!
<clicks art bell stream and turns back to call of duty>

[Insanity]

Ohhhhhh fuuuuuccccckkkk me.

UFO Phillllll to close out the show.

[ziznak]

wonder if the static thing caused any cat lady coronaries?

[NoMoreNoory]

Jesus. 'I guess maybe we just lucked out'. Burst of static.

Completely ripped from The Sopranos and just laughable in its execution. Amateurish to the end.

[ZombiePoppa]

LOL, George said "million" instead of "billion"! OMG, that is SO funny. Let's all talk about that for an hour like it's the highlight of our pathetic lives! LOLOLOLOLOLZ!!!

George is a fucking loser, that's for sure... But what's that say of most of you?

[WOTR]

Most useless show... Ever.  It was not even so much a train wreck as an opportunity to allow every huckster who has used the words 2012 in the last decade a platform.  Even with the really compact format (every guest has two minutes after you take out their introduction and commercials it seemed) George still ran out of questions and went to open lines with a number of them the second they paused and he would have to form a thought.  I think he left his cue card stack at home tonight, mistakenly believing that with such a short time with each guest he could make due without.  Shortly into the program he seems to have realized that after a decade he still has only memorized one... How are Yooouuuuu???  Tommy also printed two emergency cards for tonight that he used over and over.  "So, it seems that nothing happened today" and "Some people are disappointed that nothing really bad happened."

Just a sad waste of time.

[sleeplessinca]

OMG this 12-21 was the biggest snore of all time.  Every guest was the same.  "I didn't think anything would happen and it didn't, see?".  Snoorz chuckles with milked-it-for-all-it-was-worth condescension.  Eh - it was job security for ten years.  He really finds this stuff boring and is only in it for the money.  As Soorz would say, "It sure is".  So they persevere along on their "2012 theme" with more I told you so's.  When they cut to the Sinatra bumper it all comes clear.  12-21-2012 is the end of an age on C2C.  The wonders, mysteries and dreams are gone.  Pour yourself a scotch and put on a shiny gansta tie.  Welcome to the lizard lounge.  Snoorz is gunna sing you a little song.  Debbie Downer over and out.

... HORRIBLE!!!!

...laughable in its execution. Amateurish to the end.

     There is a scene in the Peter Sellers movie, Being There (his best, I think), where one of the dying rich guy's aides comes to realize that Chauncey Gardiner is not some grand thinking earth shaker, but really...just a gardener.  For some reason that scene came to mind listening to tonight's show.  George really...just sucks.  This was his big show "extravaganza" and he did nothing to make it anything other that the same old crap.  He should have just had all the guest on at once, made it a free for all, who cares if we don't know who's talking at any particular time, had a real conversation going.  Instead George gave everyone the news segment-say something quick-lets take some calls-thanks-good bye treatment while blurting out idiocy like "I still see people so strangely whacked out," and, "does it [the fact that the world didn't end] negate the fact that someday something will happen?"  Sad.  Just sad.

[sleeplessinca]

I know...what if they made a show about nothing...

[sleeplessinca]

Not one mention was made of the extraordinary brutal culture that was the Maya.  All the talk about the heart chakra - pullleeeze!  They would cut out hearts while still beating.  I don't think they were so highly evolved.  IMHO.

[NoMoreNoory]

It really felt like a Wizard Of Oz moment tonight. Trailed relentlessly for months: an all-star line-up of Joorch's mates: and cometh the hour (c. JBW), what happened? The curtain gets pulled back to reveal........nothing. Except an odd little man with greying moustache and receding hair, desperately trying to make himself seem important. He and all the guests were revealed as shameless, vacuous snake-oil hucksters, shuffling and twisting their stories to fit the facts. Pathetic.

After several hours to absorb it all, I give the worst to Dannion Brinkley.
"I've studied the Mayans for 42-years. That's longer than I've studied death."

That and giving phone sex to sNoory throughout his "presentation."

Ed Dames had the good grace to at least sound annoyed by the whole thing.  Barbara Marx whatever-her-last-name-is sounded, as always, like she had been whacked in the head by a Lionel train as a child, while the others sounded like common, second-rate, bored carnival barkers. Even the numbers lady sounded like she had rather be eating a ham sandwich in bed than talking to sNoory.

[CoastCanuck]

I turned it off after Barbara Marx offered it's the start of some pie in the sky new age of conscious evolution.

December 24th -  Santa Claus joins George in the first hour, followed by Christmas Eve Open Lines.  

In the past, my local radio station replaces the Dec. 24th C2C episode with pre-recorded Christmas music.  If they do so again this year, I won't be missing much.

The worst part of this non-event is that everyone who actually believed in the apoc was fucking their brains out on Thursday night. That means that in 9 months time, genetic inheritance being as it is, we're going to have to put up with a whole generation of gullible morons.

George is not real. He's a robot.

George is not real. He's a robot.

This was to be George's crowning show.  He talked about it for 10 years and had at least that  to plan it.

I wonder when George gave up, and what convinced him to do so.  The very first 'George Noory Sucks' thread didn't appear until after the months long Ouiji Board tease and non-show finally caused a poster to post that out of frustration (that post and thread sure resonated).  But that wasn't until what, about 5 years into his hosting. 

Remember him introducing Art Bell at his Radio Hall of Fame induction - he must have begged and insisted as that was the first time they'd reportedly ever even met in person.  George was back at the HoF the next year as the keynote speaker - he must have lobbied for that all year.  But there is no more talk of the Hall of Fame now, probably not much more than a passing thought once in awhile now.  Art is in, but the show is not - will probably never be now with George having ruined it. 

George - never really any good, always seeing himself as more, yet lazy, dull, dumb and just plain uninterested - is just showing up and cashing checks now, has been for years.  What made him stop caring and stop trying ?

Better question is what it says about YOU and the patronizing undertone contained in so many of your posts.

This post confuses me.

[Yorkshire pud]

This post confuses me.

It isn't for me to put words in Zombie Poppas mouth; but I think he's implying that the thread criticising Noory and in particular his obvious confusion or ignorance on the hits the Korean had, is tantamount to being the playground bully picking on the kid who can't add two and two together after having it written on the board fifty times. That there is a hint of pathos. Sure, the kid can't add up, and he's stupid, but it's not making those who pick on him look any better. I'm only guessing, so please don't flame me. 

[Morgus]

oh wow... nothing occured and then fake static... great one douchebagger... queue UFO SUCK..

even after Noory's stupid stunt going to static noise, he still had to play UFO Phil?
That ruined the whole deal, and then he didn't even read his usual thank you credit list at the end, but UFO Phil already revealed it was a stupid stunt, so what was the point?

that was Noory's dream show, the easiest job for him ever since he only had to interview each guest for a few minutes and could ask each one the exact same couple questions and make the same exact comments to each.
it was a like twenty Noory reruns in one night...

Mad Man Marcum is on the fineartstream as I type.  There is no comparison between this show and the abomination of last night. (Marcum's name is spelled different ways online - this is corrected to reflect the newspaper account of his arrest.)

[lonevoice]

If George or any of the asshats that work for him read this - please don't get all sad and mad and talk about 'haters' when people post that George is a liar and his stories and comments shouldn't be trusted or believed.  Just think of it as that poster being on that side of the discussion that day.

I have no doubt Jorch reads all the threads here that are about him.  I remember when he first posted in the original radio room at the old FF back when they had live threads during the show.   At first Jorch registered there just so he could pop into the thread once in awhile during the show to give everyone a thrill (yeah, right).  Every now and then someone on the thread would ask, "Jorch, shouldn't you be listening to the guest?"  No, I am not kidding.

Eventually, Jorch got quite angry about some of the other threads elsewhere on that forum.  In fact, one that seemed to really get under his skin was a thread very much like this very one we're posting on here.  The thread was for the purpose of documenting Jorch's innumerable malaproprisms, non sequitors, and ridiculous mangling of the English language. 

Jorch started fighting with a couple of his frequent critics there.  I wish all of those posts of his hadn't gotten vaporized somewhere along the way, because if you weren't there to see them, they'd be hard to believe.  You know the old school mobster characters that Edward G. Robinson used to play in classic films, like "Little Caesar?"  Well, when Jorch would fight with his critics, his posts read exactly like an Edward G. Robinson character.  He really liked to use the words "bub" and "pal" and his favorite retort was to brag about how he was making millions of dollars and whoever he was posting to was a nobody, a loser living in a basement.   Jorch came off as a complete bully and thug, which I say for the benefit of a couple of you I saw posting earlier about feeling guilty for saying mean things about poor ol' Jorch. 

Then, as I recall, the mod at the FF banned Jorch for a time.  That's when a new poster, "Julie", appeared.  Same posting style (endless rows of ellipses, for instance) to carry on the fight.  "She" got even nastier than ol' Jorch had been, until one day the mod revealed that "Julie" had the identical IP to ol' Jorch himself.  Imagine that.   Then "Julie" posted that she was, in fact, Jorch's daughter and that she was posting from the same computer at his house.  She started all boo-hoo-hoo'ing about how she was forced to defend her father because she couldn't stand seeing such mean things being said about him.  Yeah, nobody really bought it. 

Finally, and I see that somebody else here posted about this last thing several months ago, Jorch sent a formal letter to the owner of FF threatening to sue them and to get a court order to obtain all the IPs and names of the people who were posting mean things about him on that forum.   

Good times, good times. 

Edited to add:  I just found a link at FF from someone posting about the "Julie" incident.  http://www.fantasticforum.com/1res/showthread.php?postid=655488#post655488.

This is the most complete and entertaining retelling of George's forum dealings I've read to date.  Thanks Lonevoice

[coaster]

I remember  his "daughter" giving me shit on youtube after I posted a parody video of him. I'm pretty sure it was Jorch himself. I can see Jorch saying "bub" hahah.

[popple]

I was listening to C2C Somewhere in time with Art Bell last night, the topic was Mayan Prophesy and I recall that the guest said the end of the Mayan cycle is actually Dec 23,2012.

When I was little I had heard it was the 23rd and being bummed we wouldn't get to christmas eve, because I got to open one present the night before chrismas.
