Line #10 YMMV/CoastToCoastAM


1	* SugarWiki/AwesomeMoments: While interviewing an author about their NDE book in a February 2000 episode, an angry, homophobic listener sends an e-mail telling Art to "get that *** off the air, he can have his radio time in Hell." Art proceeds to tear him a new one on air.
2	* HarsherInHindsight: Any time Art mentions smoking, or him attempting to quit smoking, as COPD had a part in his death.
3	* MemeticMutation: UsefulNotes/BarackObama is from Mars!
4	* NightmareFuel: Oodles and oodles. That's the whole point. Most literally might be Art Bell's recording of the "Sounds from Hell".
5	** "Hi. I don't have a lot of time, I've been running cross-country and-oh man I don't know where to start. I'm a former employee at Area 51... medical discharge...They're gonna triangulate on this position really soon... these... What we were thinking of as aliens are actually extradimensional beings... an earlier precursor..."
6	*** The above clip even more so as used in Music/{{Tool}}'s "Faaip De Oiad", the closing song on ''Lateralus''.
7	*** That clip was also used at the beginning of [[Music/ThePaperChase the pAper chAse]]'s album ''Now You Are One of Us''.
8	** "Oscar", a snarling, raspy-voiced man who sounds positively ''[[EvilSoundsDeep demonic]]''. Even George is [[TooSpicyForYogSothoth freaked out by him]]. Every call he makes is incredibly chilling to listen to (with the exception of that time where he [[SugarWiki/CrowningMomentOfFunny got in an argument with J.C.]])
9	** A long broadcast ago, a woman claiming to be JC's wife, Edna, says she managed to escape her husband's control and find a new life. Fast forward a few more years, and JC says he's captured Edna again, and has her strapped down and is trying to "pray" for her. Presuming JC isn't a plant, and knowing that he probably hates Edna, you'd [[MindRape pray for the poor woman too.]]
10	*** If it's of any consolation, most subsequent calls seem to indicate that this is not the case and J.C.s still looking for Edna. Either he got the wrong woman and let her go or J.C. is just a long-running made-up character (despite what the hosts say). The two calls where she's supposedly mentioned "being captured" are best left into the world of FanonDiscontinuity. Plus, Edna continually thwarting J.C. is a great running gag.
11	** You'd think a prank call by a man claiming to be [[VideoGame/HalfLife Dr. Gordon Freeman]] would be a SugarWiki/{{Funny Moment\|s}}, right? Especially since George Noory is sufficiently out of touch with the gaming community to not SpotTheThread. Wrong. "Gordon" manages to keep a [[TheComicallySerious completely straight face]] as he describes the disturbing nature of being stalked by The G-Man and express his fears of being stalked by a MysteriousWatcher. Arguably dips into {{Bathos}} due to being an obvious crank call, but "Gordon" never breaks character, not even a chuckle.
12	* OlderThanTheyThink: A late night radio show focused on ConspiracyKitchenSink talk--[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_John_Nebel Long John Nebel's]] New York show, which debuted in 1954.
13	* TearJerker: The death of Art Bell on April 13, 2018 and the associated tribute show a week later.
14	** Another tearjerker show was over a decade earlier, when Art spent the first hour relating the death of his then-wife Ramona. His candid sharing of his grief and suicidal thoughts at one point caused concerned fans to call the Nye County Sheriff to do a welfare check on him.
15	* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: Many say that the show has been singlehandedly ruined by George Noory replacing Art Bell, so they've made their own online community.
