Smark Out Moment

The WWE Hall of Fame is frequently criticized as not being "legitimate" enough as there are no true qualifications and the candidates are simply chosen by WWE management. Well, here at Smark Out Moment, we like to take things to an even more ridiculous level, so we present to you the fourth annual SMARK OUT MOMENT HALL OF FAME!


Since we're not wrestlers or anything of the sort, this hall of fame consists of honoring some of our favorite recurring jokes that have occurred over the course of our Smack Talk program's history.

Obviously, this is all insane, but you should be used to that by now.



My thoughts on this group:

— Tow Truck Pig was birthed (ew) out of a response to Time Cow. Someone had asked in the mailbag if we would have any other animal characters. We decided to no-sell the idea of Tow Truck Pig being that response. Oddly enough, despite how we had built up Time Cow, people embraced it, and when we didn't bother hyping this up the same, people rejected it. Poor Tow Truck Pig. Well, the joke's on all of you haters, cause now TTP is in the Hall of Fame!! There's your Koko B. Ware, everybody. Tow T. Pig.

— The joke that The Miz and Kofi Kingston have the same dad is honestly something that I can't even remember the start of, but it's been going on for so many years that it's just something that has burned itself into my brain. Lately, all of the appearances from George Mizanin and the upgrade Kofi Kingston has received has made this the perfect year to induct this joke. If you happen to remember what sparked this joke, please enlighten us!

— The Golden Oldie for this year dates back to 2013. When we were on a Skype call recording an episode of Smack Talk, something happened to Wago's computer that made it freeze while he was saying "some of the". Oddly enough, instead of just crashing, the audio kept repeating itself and for several minutes, we kept hearing what sounded like "sumina sumina sumina sumina" even after he disconnected. What was even stranger was that Wago did a test call with the Skype service and could hear "sumina sumina" playing back to him. Sumina became a placeholder word, like "lorem ipsum" in many ways.

— The tag team this year goes to the stable of YetiStation 4. This joke is two jokes in one, as we had made plenty of jokes that Drew's dad would get him a PlayStation 4 as compensation for not being good enough of a father. Then, when we were making fun of Drew's poor microphone and kept bugging him to get a Blue Yeti, we merged the jokes to be that his dad needs to buy him a YetiStation 4. There's even a t-shirt design based off this joke.

— For this year's Impression Wing, I decided to go with something that was more on a generalized scale, which was Caps Lock Shouting. After some comments from bobbylesnarg86 that were typed in all caps, we decided that we would read those out loud with a pseudo-yelling manner, quite monotone, lower in volume and with a certain level of purposely sounding stupid. This went on for a long time, but thankfully, we don't get many caps lock comments anymore.

— The "honoree" for this year's Fuck That Guy Club was chosen by the folks in our Facebook group, The Mega Maniacs, was Jeff Jarrett. I didn't vote for him, as I was a fan of the guy from his old Double J days in the New Generation era of WWF, but a lot of people are bitter about the way he's run TNA, Global Force Wrestling and other ventures and just aren't the biggest fans of him.

— Lastly, on a serious note, we need to give applause to one of our biggest fans for the Fan Appreciation Wing, which this year goes to Steven Carroll, aka "Guest Five" for his constant support of the brand, the website and the channel. He has been there for so many years that I don't remember when he jumped on as a fan, but he's remained a dedicated one ever since, sending questions in for the mailbag, donating the Patreon, participating in Facebook chats and more. As far as I'm concerned, he's in my Fave Five.
