History Funny / Talkradar

* Arguably the first Crowning Moment of Funny was [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hbKJYeVU8u8 the initial appearance of Duke Lombardi, in episode 15.]] A man who exclusively reviews E for Everyone rated video games, using a complex hat-based rating system (they're really nice hats), while [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fo6aKnRnBxM&ob=av3n Baker Street]] plays soothingly in the background, was a stroke of genius. While later appearances varied in the laugh-factor, the first visit will always be a piece of [=TalkRadar=] history.

--> '''Mikel''': Uh...[[MortalKombat Liu Kang!]]

* While Duke was the first and quite hilarious, he was but a warm-up act for [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xvgjpU-YVPA the Norwegian King of Names,]] first appearing in episode 49. Inspired by a [[http://www.joystiq.com/2009/04/26/norwegian-king-refused-childs-sonic-x-name-change-request/ real life story]] of a Norwegian child's requested name change (to Sonic X), which was denied by the king himself. The King of Names, in the voice of James Mason from TwentyThousandLeaguesUnderTheSea, has the power to change the names or deny the changing of names to any person, place or thing. A relatively simple concept, but it brought both the hosts and the listeners, to tears.
