Am I the only one who feels bad for Bobo?

He clearly has some type of disability, and they just use and exploit him for a bit.

Am I alone in the guilt I feel when I laugh?

I don't feel bad for him for anything that transpires on the show. However, I do feel bad for him for all of the hate and general fucking-with he gets from the "don't get the bit" contingent, or those who find accomplishment in fooling a "10 percent retarded" person.

Does he leave himself open to that? Yes, certainly. But, again, he's "10 percent retarded". Not exactly known for good decision-making skills or capacity for learning.

He's still 90% jewish, and he schticks it up with as much needy desperation as anyone.

What are you even talking about?

It's a joke. 10% retarded, 90% jewish. Daniel Curlan is jewish.

Are you able to read which posts are a reply to which? Have you never heard the word schtick before? Do you know who Bobo is? Let me know if I can help.

Shut up you fucking retard. Why is my post being upvoted while yours are being downvoted? I know what the words you wrote meant, it's just that it doesn't make fucking sense, you moron. I love it when someone dumb tries to be condescending.

Wow relax, I'm just trying to help. I still don't know what was confusing about my attempt at making a joke.

He enjoys the attention quite a lot! And I think they give him some money.

So yes!

Exactly. Getting laughed at is the only attention he can hope to get, for the most part. And I'm sure they compensate him for his time.

I used to until I realized he's a needy self absorbed asshole who just wants free stuff from anyone associated with the Opie & Anthony show. Seriously, go to Daniel Kurlan's facebook page, it says he "works" at the Opie & Anthony show because he actually believes that!

Ya dude, he has aspergers. If he has that on his facebook page it makes me feel even worse for him.

The only time I felt bad for him is when he got sprayed with a face full of household cleaner.

He lives for the show though. He begs to be there so he wants it as bad as they do

Yes.

You think Bobo on the show is bad, look at his twitter. During that whole GF ordeal he'd harass that poor girl in England all day. Tweet her all the fucking time.

THIIIIIIISSSS!!!! ^ I felt kind of bad for him too until I saw the creeper's Twitter. It needs permanently suspended.

they dont kidnap the kid and make him go on the show, hes dumb but not that dumb, its not like he needs a handler, he can make it to the station on his own, hes fine, hes got his mets

yes

was he on recently?

don't feel guilty -- he loves the attention.

Couple months ago I think? But I'm going through a bunch of old O&A clips and shows on youtube, which is what lead me to post this.

optimus prime rib had me hawling. bobo had some sunshine moments on the show

Ya, moments like that were awesome. I was more referring to them making him wack his bag in front of a studio audience, or say horrible shit to his mom when he called in.

I don't feel bad for him, one of the hardest laughs I've ever had was when Ant got him to put them on speaker phone inside the DMV while he screamed racist insults.

That a little different though, as I said to another guy on this post, it's when they make him jerk off in studio and say horrible shit to his mom over the phone that I feel bad. The screaming insults and shit like that are great bits.

I like the pot banging waking his family up the best. What an image. It doesn't get more symbolic of a tard than that.

Bobo the one man band.

The bobo 'bits' are usually funny as hell, its the random bobo turns up parts that are a bit cringey. One Man Band and DMV are hilarious.

Look at it this way, if you feel sorry or bad for Bobo, ask yourself what would he be doing if he never met O&A. Sitting around the house doing nothing probably. He has got to meet semi-famous people and pornstars, done his own hilariously shit radio show, and is famous to any O&A fans. If I met him in NYC I'd buy him a drink or two, just for the laughs he has given me over the years.

Just compare Bobo to Danny or someone like that, Danny was an intelligent cocksucker who just screamed arrogance. I'd take bobo over Danny any day.

'Shut up cunts its Bobo time!'

Its his life O&A and The Mets

less and less

This is why reddit and O&A can never mix. The pussies on this site feel bad for this annoying attention whore.

Right, pussies. I feel bad for a guy with a mental disorder being laughed at for jerking off in studio. I'm a pussy.

...retard.

I'm guessing you haven't been listening to the show for very long, otherwise you'd realize how fucking awful Bobo really is.

No, I just feel bad for him. In a way, I kind of like him.

This is just my personal opinion. I'm not a doctor but I do work closely with autistic clients and I see allot of similarities. I do feel bad for him, especially when his repetitive behaviors irritate/infuriate Ant and Jimmy. If he really does have diagnosed autism then he really shouldn't be put through the shit they give him, even though he's a grown man and even though it's hysterical.

I don't feel bad at all. Then again, I don't usually give a fuck about people, especially if I don't know them personally. Why would I? They don't mean shit to me.

You are. Remember: all his mom had to do is keep the bottle/cigarette out of her mouth and abide by the odds of human biology.

I went to a school with a wing for aspies, and they were all the last kid in the family line, born to upper/middle-class mothers who thought they were above having a dysfunctional child after the normal window of healthy birthing.

TL;DR: Fuck Bobo and his selfish mother. If he wasn't a joke, he'd just be a burden.

Jesus dude, some personal shit bubbling to the surface there. So what you're saying is fuck Bobo because he has Aspergers? And he has it because you're assuming his mother didn't take care of herself while pregnant? You don't see anything fucked up about that line of thinking?

It is personal. Full disclosure: I'm "on the spectrum" myself. After 20 years of day camps, special classes, meds, etc., there are unpleasent truths that form.

Bobo's bits are really the only thing I can't enjoy on the show. Not that I feel like the boys are exploiting him, but that he's a bad case pf wallowing in his condition. His attention-seeking behavior reeks of what we call a "trunk child": the one in the litter that "came out weird".

Sorry for the text wall, but I feel in 30 years there's going to be an ugly public discussion about autism and it's causes. By that time, most of those responsible will be dead.

And I'm not pretending like I know everything about his condition, but there's a real problem with "functional" autistic people not trying to do anything productive with themselves just because no one ever expected much from them.

There is a way to some normalcy, and Bobo is perfectly capable of it. If he can handle himself like he does on the air, he can think better for himself as well. His problem is that no one has ever expected more from him.

Didn't Bobo's dick make him retarded after he was born?
