If the RC Cola is missing, expect Homeland Security to raise the level of alert to Orange….this has been a Fox New Alert.

Is it cool to drink Mr. Pibb? I’m so out of touch with pop culture.

“Mr. Pibb is a poor imitation of Dr. Pepper. Dude didn’t even get his degree”- Mitch Hedberg

Andy Levy is the man!! He is the main reason I watch Red Eye.
Bullboski on January 24, 2008 at 8:45 PM
Never joke like that again! Mr. Pibb is a national treasure.
CABE on January 24, 2008 at 8:47 PM
lol
bigbeas on January 24, 2008 at 8:48 PM
Mr. Pibb is flat Dr. Pepper. :)
Kowboy on January 24, 2008 at 8:50 PM
oh crap, that sammich’ was his?!

This Horrible Bush Economy has made what little expendable funds I have go towards Mr. Pibb and not Dr. Pepper.
Does an honorary doctorate count?
ColdBore76 on January 24, 2008 at 8:55 PM
if it’s carbonated and doesn’t have alcohol, I don’t drink it.
jerrytbg on January 24, 2008 at 8:57 PM
I was watching the show when this happened. I originally thought there was an actual Fox New Alert; a plane crashed, a train derailed, a terrorist attack. But it was just a really lame joke.

I have genital herpes. And I work for the Clinton News Network.

FOX NEWS ALERT
RC Cola and Moonpie available at CNN. Hurry, almost out!
tazmebro on January 24, 2008 at 9:00 PM
Debate? There’s a debate?
RedWinged Blackbird on January 24, 2008 at 9:00 PM
dern yer hide, you beat me to it.
And I just realized my cable company doesn’t carry MSNBC…golly. First time in years anything potentially worth watching might be on and I can’t see it…ah well. I do have that freshly painted wall to watch…probably more informative anyway.
Ya’ll enjoy.
Pilgrim on January 24, 2008 at 9:04 PM
Mr Pibb and a Bama Pecan Pie. . . mmmmmm….
geckomon on January 24, 2008 at 9:05 PM
You realize that Yankees don’t know what an RC Coca Cola and a Moon Pie are don’t you? Fortunately I was born in Tennessee and lived in South Carolina for awhile. My poor wife, who has spent her entire life in Michigan whoever, didn’t have clue and heard those famous words in Alabama, “You ain’t from a round her is ya”
flytier on January 24, 2008 at 9:10 PM
RIP
Esthier on January 24, 2008 at 9:10 PM
I do love me some Pibb. Mmmmmm…
robblefarian on January 24, 2008 at 9:13 PM
Yep and they are worse for it! One of my earliest childhood memories is having “ROC Cola and a Moonpie” with my grandfather on the banks of the Kentucky river. Fine times…fine times indeed.
LOL!
Pilgrim on January 24, 2008 at 9:15 PM
There is nothing better than RC Cola and a Moon Pie – nuke it about 10 seconds, kick back, and enjoy.
fourstringfuror on January 24, 2008 at 9:21 PM
That’s the funniest thing I’ve seen in a year. At least Fox actually employs people with a friggin sense of humor.
Sugar Land on January 24, 2008 at 9:22 PM
Gosh we really do have a lot of Southerners at this site.
I’ve never been a huge RC Cola fan (though my father was for a long time), but I remember the first time I traveled somewhere that had never heard of Dr. Pepper.
I felt like I was in a Twilight Zone episode. They had Coke but no Dr. Pepper.
Esthier on January 24, 2008 at 9:26 PM
Yep. RIP Mitch.
Ugly on January 24, 2008 at 9:27 PM
Hmmm, I always find this guy’s humor kind of flat, no pun intended. Isn’t he an amnesty shill?
Grayson on January 24, 2008 at 9:36 PM
Heh. I know you weren’t making a pun, but still? Funny.
I thought this was cute. Of course, I still giggle at the question he asked Ann Coulter after the whole “perfected Jew” thing. But completely deadpan humor is my thing.
mjk on January 24, 2008 at 9:41 PM
That’s hilarious! Levy is great…I miss Redeye now since it’s on so late which was already pretty darn late…argh.
CP on January 24, 2008 at 9:44 PM
A real Texan has an inborn bias against Mr Pibb It is all Dr Pepper here.
TheSitRep on January 24, 2008 at 9:46 PM
Yep…Pipp is for Yankees and carpetbaggers.
Limerick on January 24, 2008 at 9:52 PM
Never heard of Mr. Pibb. Is it an east coast thing…or am I slipping further into out-of-it-ness?
Patrick S on January 24, 2008 at 10:04 PM
In the south, an RC and a Moon Pie is called “the workingman’s lunch.” In Manhattan, a Pibb and a pretzel is the “metrosexual’s power snack.”
whitetop on January 24, 2008 at 10:23 PM
What did they cut away to at the end of the clip? Sure looked like two guys about to take a trip to Snogtown.
Mark Jaquith on January 24, 2008 at 10:34 PM
I blame global warming.

Must not have watched Fox News for a long time.
Fox News seems to start off every block of programming with a News Alert which usually isn’t new news, it’s just re-reporting of the last thing they heard about some old news. I think they use the News Alert sting just a little more often then either the phrase “Fair and Balanced” or “We Report, You Decide” put together.
knivek on January 24, 2008 at 11:10 PM
1. Open a bottle of Dr. Pepper
2. Open a bag of shelled, roasted peanuts
3. Pour peanuts into Dr. Pepper
4. Enjoy!

I grew up on Chek colas from the Piggly Wiggly! Talk about a cheap knock off…omg! Tasted like a flat Tab cola.
SouthernGent on January 24, 2008 at 11:33 PM
OK, I drink 4-6 cans of DP a day, so that comes out to some 1,800 cans a year (still weigh 150), but I wont drink Mr Pibb. If I was given a years worth of Mr Pibb for free, I would go buy Dr. Pepper.
WoosterOh on January 25, 2008 at 12:24 AM
This is why I LOVE FOXNEWS.
Although I never drink soda, because it can’t be shaken and served with olives.
Cheers!
Kini on January 25, 2008 at 12:30 AM
Mr. Pibb is not really a regional drink. I can buy it at the store, get it in restaurants, and find it at the gas station.
fourstringfuror on January 25, 2008 at 12:52 AM
Heh. I thought that was awesome. But I’m like that.
ReubenJCogburn on January 25, 2008 at 12:55 AM
This was fun. Friends, watch out for the “Diet Chocolate Cherry Dr. Pepper” I was in a hurry and didn’t see the “Chocolate” part on the label. Not a winner.
Doug on January 25, 2008 at 1:53 AM
Goot one.
Zorro on January 25, 2008 at 6:46 AM
Why does Mr. Pibb come on a bottle…?
awesum on January 25, 2008 at 6:51 AM
What? You people don’t like prune soda?
ej_pez on January 25, 2008 at 8:43 AM
As a native born Texan, Dr. Pepper has always been my soda of choice. Since moving to the outskirts of Sugar Land, it’s got to be Dr. Pepper made with Imperial Sugar pure cane sugar. Now that stuff is goooood.
Rip Ford on January 25, 2008 at 9:03 AM
Aaaaah, sweet, sweet Dr Pepper. You can keep your Coke and Pepsi. They just can’t compare. And Pibb is an affront to the taste buds.
thekingtut on January 25, 2008 at 9:54 AM
Don’t get me wrong, no offence taken but I have lived in Alabama all of my life and I have never heard, “you ain’t from around here is ya”, in my life. I would actually be “wherr you frum” or “slow down, yer talkin faster’n I kin listen”. : )
kcd on January 25, 2008 at 10:45 AM
Aaaaah, sweet, sweet Dr Pepper.
thekingtut on January 25, 2008 at 9:54 AM
Drinking Dr. Pepper is like drinking maple syrup! Yuck!
