Is it just me?(An Anthony observation)

1  2013-06-19 by [deleted]

Over the last year I have noticed something and I was looking for other peoples opinions on this. Does anyone else notice how much stuff Ant "steals"! borrows,uses from the other guys in the room? When Jimmy started doing Uncle Paul, Anthony started saying "Suuuure", and other things, sometimes even beating Jim to the punch line even though it is his bit. I have noticed the same thing with Chippah, there are times that Jim is in studio and Anthony will do a Chip impression before Jimmy can. And when Opie started doing twitter voice guy, Anthony was right on that the next day. A lot of what Ant does is a rip off or a mimic of other peoples stuff. I don't think its right for people to do such a thing, come up with your own material. That's a real artist, not someone who yells racial epithets, complains about people less fortunate than him, hits on girls way to young for him, and then throws in some gems mixed in with stuff he has ripped off of others. I may be looking at it the wrong way and that's why I'm throwing it out to the Reddit community to see if you agree or if you think I'm wrong. And if you think I'm wrong just give me a brief explanation so I can understand where you're coming from.

i know what you're saying but i never really saw it as "stealing", just kind of mimicking something he thinks is funny. he always says how things get stuck in his head as he walks around his house. i feel like that's how he's developed his impressions and style, by repeating and mimicking.

I would call it mimicking if he was doing it to anyone outside the studio. His original OJ song is mimicking, Regan is mimicking, but when you're using part of a bit from people sitting next to you is when I see it border on stealing.

or, its just when you hang out with your friends you pick up and use things that the other says. every group of friends does this so either you have no friends or you guys have no group jokes.

If you asked Norton is Ant was stealing his bits, he'd call you retarded.

Why do you hate Ant?
