You clearly don't understand the show or what happens behind the scenes when the show if off air. I am loyal because I understand the show I and realize your blind outrage over this is fucking stupid. You people have nothing else to do except hop on the internet and act outraged over something new each day. Last year it was Kony and today its Opie. You guys really are pathetic.
She knew what type of show Opie & Anthony do. Before going on the show most these people are forced to sign a waiver. Do you understand how entertainment works? She had been on the show on and off for years and had a relationship with Opie and Anthony too.
Sorry I have more important things to care about then a homeless guys stale cake he pulled out of the fucking trash. Opie gave him enough money for 3 or 4 brand new cakes. Get over it no one was disrespected.
These things don't ruin peoples careers either. Its called shock comedy. Howard Sterns been doing it for 30 years. You ever catch his show back in the day? He'd fuck with the homeless or less fortunate people in a similar fashion. Made a very good living from it too. So have Opie & Anthony. You know why? Because most of us out in the real world recognize nothing happened except a homeless guys stale cake from the trash was smashed. He was paid for it several times over. That should of been the end of it right there.
Opie gave him enough money for 3 or 4 brand new cakes
Completely missing the point. It has absolutely nothing to do with money or material things. You are letting Opie get away with being a piece of shit and completely disrespectful to another human being just because he has more money. Opie is rich, throwing down a hundred bucks means absolutely nothing to him.
Also, Opie is a fucking idiot, far less talented, creative, and far more stupid than everyone else he works with. Always resorts to the cheapest humor, and just listen to him struggle when he argues. Why would you even defend him?
You must not listen to the show. They all use cheap humor. I see the point and I know you care more about this homeless guys cake then the homeless guy himself did, and how do you know the homeless guy wasn't perfectly happy with the money once the camera's and microphones were off? Again, you only saw the part meant for entertainment and the show. You never saw everything else that goes on afterwards. Enough with the fake outrage. You people walk and shit on homeless people all day long, whether its intentional or not but then you want to act like crusaders because a stale cake was smashed. Who fucking cares. The guy has enough money to get brand new fresh cakes. In the end no one was actually hurt. God damn you people are a bunch of pussies. There are actual problems in the world that call for peoples attention and its not a 7 year old video of a homeless guy that's most likely dead.
you care more about this homeless guys cake then the homeless guy himself did
He was CLEARLY upset when Opie smashed his cake. What the fuck else does he have? The cake means a whole lot more to him than it means to you.
how do you know the homeless guy wasn't perfectly happy with the money
For the millionth time, this is COMPLETELY beside the point. The discussion is and always has been about whether or not Opie did a really shitty thing in this video clip. How in the world are you unable to grasp this?
You people shit on homeless people all day long
...how?
worse things happen in the world so we shouldn't worry about this one at all!
He was upset initially but eventually everything was taken care of. That's the important part. The discussions been about much more than just that. I don't know where you've been but discussions can evolve into something else. I'm not worried about what you find cool or not. You're some dolt from the internet with a fake username. Who cares what you think.
Nothing shittier than someone with money using poverty as a source of humor. Try destroying ANYTHING of Opie's and toss him money. Think he'll be okay with it? I heard this live and it remains the lowest form of Opie's "I have less talent than the rest of the crew so to get the attention I crave I'll:
Destroy something
Use a forced laugh I think is sarcastic, or
Call them an insulting name
and try to pass it off as something funny" on-air insecurity.
Side note... Re-listen to the famous fights Opie has with Jimmy and later on Anthony. Who is the one person who resorts to name-calling when the argument isn't going well for him? Hint: It's not Jimmy or Anthony.
You nailed it! He's such an entitled douchebag who totally stepped in the shit. He owes the life-of-lesire he's enjoying now ENTIRELY to Anthony's and Jimmy's talent and hard work. Meanwhile, he's free to pursue his ellusive "viral video" and whatever other hacky "media breakthrough" that seems to be missing from his life.
This video never sat right with me, even with the $100 that Opie gave him when the cameras shut off. I guess if the homeless guy was laughing along with them after, that's fine, but I bet he was pretty bummed for the rest of the day.
Dude, they would talk to him all the time! He specifically made sure to be there because that was there walkover path. They used to do one radio show at CBS then take a live walkover to the Xm Satellite studios. He was the one who would repeatedly come there cuz he knew they would be nice to him/give him money/and put him on the radio.
Let's say that cake is equal to a new TV for me (which I actually need anyway, since I'm an idiot and broke mine.) If someone came and smashed it, yea I'd be bummed, and yea it would be a dick move. But if someone then gave me like, 5 times the worth of that TV, I wouldn't be so bummed anymore.
This really did cross the line. When people like bobo come in the studio and get fucked with they know what they're getting in too. Fucking with a homeless is different because he was not asking for it in anyway.
No way...ok that makes it all better now. Come on, are you so star struck that you cannot recognise that money does not make something better, that for someone to do this shows a utter lack of compassion! Bring on the downvotes, but I will stand against mistreatment of vulnerable people in the name of comedy.
I am hear to voice my displeasure at the shitty behaviour in the name of "comedy". This should never happen again!
II fail to understand how unperturbed you guys are. What's worse it the tweet "apologising" while calling people who are understandably distraught at their behaviour "uninformed dumbasses".
Because you are uninformed. You're disturbed because you're not familiar with the show. This sort of thing has happened again because this actually happened 7 yrs ago.
This is sort of a schtick Opie does, he hangs up on guests, throws away gifts from guests and intentionally makes interviews awkward to make people in the room feel awkward.
What this video doesn't show is the relationship the show had with this guy. They gave him food and money multiple times before this. They have bought the homeless meals and brought them on shopping sprees, they also paid for one of their homeless friends' funeral when he died. They let this guy perform on their show, which led to him getting off the streets and landed him a record deal.
What I'm finding hilarious in the /r/videos thread is all the massive butthurt and confusion when people realize Louis CK loves O&A and was there during this video. It's like their dreams were crushed.
Your downvotes don't hurt me, I've got almost 30,000 fake internet points. So, we'll start off with that.
I had a nice little "debate" with a friend about this today, and when I shut him down on every point, he resorted to strawmanning and ad hominem. It was fun.
This was cringe humor at it's finest. One of the most memorable moments of the K-Rock/XM days. My friend (and a lot of reddit has as well, which is funny) had the fucking balls to compare destruction of an expired dumpster foodstuff to the burning down of my house. Which, by the way, if you only wanted to destroy my house, nothing else, not the contents, which have sentimental value (which is another thing entirely), and give me 5-10 times what it's worth after, for the show? SIGN ME UP! Andrew CHOSE to continue to be involved with the show after this. And after making all these points about how it was destoying Andrew's dignity, when I asked why he chose to stay with the show, his response was, "He had nowhere else to go." Which is just funny to me if we're speaking about dignity, and doesn't even take into account a good percentage of NYC homeless are there by choice.
So it's okay to treat people like shit as long as you drop money on the ground next to them afterward?
when I asked why he chose to stay with the show
Way to move the goalposts after complaining about ad hominem. Doesn't excuse Opie's actions.
a good percentage of NYC homeless are there by choice
This is completely irrelevant. You have no reason to make an assumption about whether or not this particular homeless man is there by choice. What a master of debate you are.
Way to move the goalposts after complaining about ad hominem. Doesn't excuse Opie's actions.
It's a legitimate question. Why, after the supposed "dignity destruction" that took place, would someone choose to continue to associate with the people who allegedly did it? Maybe because they actually DID treat him well outside of this one incident which was WELL known was a bit for the show.
The argument has always been about whether or not what Opie did was acceptable. Treating him well outside of this doesn't make this action acceptable at all.
I think you're right about the "band-waggon" effect of outrage, but OPIE is the one who re-published it on his YouTube channel just 3-days ago. He whines now about how ridiculous it is that people are complaining about this video as if it's come out of nowhere; he's being as disengenuous as ever. It blew up in his face, and he's complaining like a bitch. You don't know Opie if you don't also know HE BELIEVED that this hacky video was "hillarious". I think he's just confused now.
It has nothing to do with levels of intellectualism. We simply have the honor of not being an uncivilized mob out for blood. So go back to your filthy hordes and try not to ruin any innocent lives in your next witchhunt.
No irony just stating that the pests, who are the super fans of the Opie and Anthony show, are potentially some of the most vile people when it comes to going after anyone who does wrong by the show.
You couldnt just say the one thing and be done with it? You had to edit it what three times by my count? I mean if you need to say something that post wont dissapear you can think before you hit submit. Dont rush yourself next time give some time to think about what you want to say and you wont have to rush to get in the ninja edit time.
reddit is leaking into the sub. Any comment not condemning O&A and demanding their heads is being downvoted to oblivion. Keep up the fake outrage losers.
The craziest part is the internet tough guys saying how they would knock him out. I would love for any of those guys to even attempt to get by Club Soda and Master Po. Now it makes sense that they did the walk over with the boys, some people can't separate reality from radio bits.
It's not over a rotting cake, its about publicly humiliating a guy by smashing something he had in his life that he was excited about, and then throwing money at him like that makes it ok. This was a fucking shitty thing to do.
It's fine when they turned the kid's bedroom 90 degrees though right? No one called his brother an asshole then. But wait, a homeless man can't be pranked.
According to reddit the homeless must be ignored and left to eat their rotten pastries. Engaging them and giving them lots of money is a terrible thing.
My favorite part of the comments is when they believe what they are doing is internet justice. Hilarious, can't wait to listen to the show tomorrow when nothing changes.
No, he still hasnt made it. Its a show-related video. If those counted, his Mustard video playing Creep would have counted as a viral video a long time ago.
That hate will be gone before they get back on the air. In fact, this will all be forgotten by tomorrow when reddit has something new to circlejerk over.
True, we should respect and care for this homeless savage by giving him food and nourishment. He's much too much of a degenerate to be trusted with a gift of money, though.
Also, did you see the guy in the video? What a horrible person he is.
/reddit
edit: He deleted his post apparently. He said something along the lines of "yeah but with money he'll go buy beer and shit, but if he had given him food he would have eaten it""
He absolutely did. That cake was expired cinnamon swirl coffee cake from Starbucks. Back when I worked there none of us would ever eat that shit even if we were starving.
The show is based on this type of cringe worthy humour, if you think this is bad you should try checking out the bits they did with Bobo or Stalker Patti, enough of your fake outrage that's minor and part of the show.
The outrage is justified though. I understand that's their shtick but if some random shock-jock unknown to you, walked by you on the street, knocked a drink out of you & your girlfriend's hands, then laughed about it...you wouldn't give a shit what their shtick was, right?
But that scenario you explained isn't how it happened, he was a constant part of the show and this video Opie uploaded cut off the opening bit of the conversation which distorts the context. Around 8 minutes Andrew comes into the video and it's a friendly long time friends kind of chat.
Then in all honesty you're an idiot who doesn't listen to the show it's laced in their history, you just need to look at their many uncomfortable interviews and like I said their bits with Bobo and Stalker Patti. Bobo's fake girlfriend, Stalker Patti's wig, the show sent retarded Laverne and Shirley to the MTV awards to conduct the worst interviews ever.
If I owned a rotten cake pulled out of the garbage and a friend of mine jumped on it, then paid me 5 times the cake's worth, I couldnt care less. Especially if I understood that he didnt do it to piss me off but to make people laugh on his radio show.
Dont know if you are a listener or not, but Troy, a staff member, just yelled the word faggot like 50 times in 10 minutes like 2 weeks ago and wasnt fired. Opie stomped on a friends cake. OF COURSE nothing is going to happen.
You're right. The video is taken out of context and doesn't take into account the good things O&A have done for homeless: paying for Tippy Tom's funeral comes to mind...
I liked the "that man didn't step on his cake, he stepped on his dignity" comment. It fucking sucks that they're dark all next week. Monday would've been an incredible show.

There are actual problems in the world that call for peoples attention and its not a 7 year old video of a homeless guy that's most likely dead.

-1 strenu 2013-08-11
But it was STILL a really shitty thing to do, regardless of their relationship with him outside of this.
3 theronin23 2013-08-11
Thank you for changing tack, doesn't get the bit guy. You're a fine one to talk about me being a master of debate.
-1 strenu 2013-08-11
The argument has always been about whether or not what Opie did was acceptable. Treating him well outside of this doesn't make this action acceptable at all.

What I'm trying to say is that it happened 6 years ago, this is mostly just fake comment outrage.
1 CookieHaid 2013-08-11
I think you're right about the "band-waggon" effect of outrage, but OPIE is the one who re-published it on his YouTube channel just 3-days ago. He whines now about how ridiculous it is that people are complaining about this video as if it's come out of nowhere; he's being as disengenuous as ever. It blew up in his face, and he's complaining like a bitch. You don't know Opie if you don't also know HE BELIEVED that this hacky video was "hillarious". I think he's just confused now.
-11 carnexhat 2013-08-11
How is it fake outrage? Just because he was and asshole 6 years ago dosent mean that the act itself is any less of an asshole move.

16 dches 2013-08-11
It's not over a rotting cake, its about publicly humiliating a guy by smashing something he had in his life that he was excited about, and then throwing money at him like that makes it ok. This was a fucking shitty thing to do.
-12 Skizz1979 2013-08-11
Ya know they gave the homeless guy a hundy for his cake being smooshed. He "earned" it after all.

I think this might count as a big viral video too, HE FINALLY DID IT.
6 Moklok 2013-08-11
No, he still hasnt made it. Its a show-related video. If those counted, his Mustard video playing Creep would have counted as a viral video a long time ago.

True, we should respect and care for this homeless savage by giving him food and nourishment. He's much too much of a degenerate to be trusted with a gift of money, though.
Also, did you see the guy in the video? What a horrible person he is.

edit: He deleted his post apparently. He said something along the lines of "yeah but with money he'll go buy beer and shit, but if he had given him food he would have eaten it""

For those who don't "get it", could you explain it a bit?
-10 [deleted] 2013-08-11
The show is based on this type of cringe worthy humour, if you think this is bad you should try checking out the bits they did with Bobo or Stalker Patti, enough of your fake outrage that's minor and part of the show.
7 kennyko 2013-08-11
The outrage is justified though. I understand that's their shtick but if some random shock-jock unknown to you, walked by you on the street, knocked a drink out of you & your girlfriend's hands, then laughed about it...you wouldn't give a shit what their shtick was, right?
5 [deleted] 2013-08-11
But that scenario you explained isn't how it happened, he was a constant part of the show and this video Opie uploaded cut off the opening bit of the conversation which distorts the context. Around 8 minutes Andrew comes into the video and it's a friendly long time friends kind of chat.
-2 Mijinion 2013-08-11
Do you think he had that feeling when the incident in the video occurred?

3 [deleted] 2013-08-11
Then in all honesty you're an idiot who doesn't listen to the show it's laced in their history, you just need to look at their many uncomfortable interviews and like I said their bits with Bobo and Stalker Patti. Bobo's fake girlfriend, Stalker Patti's wig, the show sent retarded Laverne and Shirley to the MTV awards to conduct the worst interviews ever.
1 NotInsane 2013-08-11

Sorry I have more important things to care about then a homeless guys stale cake he pulled out of the fucking trash. Opie gave him enough money for 3 or 4 brand new cakes. Get over it no one was disrespected.
These things don't ruin peoples careers either. Its called shock comedy. Howard Sterns been doing it for 30 years. You ever catch his show back in the day? He'd fuck with the homeless or less fortunate people in a similar fashion. Made a very good living from it too. So have Opie & Anthony. You know why? Because most of us out in the real world recognize nothing happened except a homeless guys stale cake from the trash was smashed. He was paid for it several times over. That should of been the end of it right there.

You must not listen to the show. They all use cheap humor. I see the point and I know you care more about this homeless guys cake then the homeless guy himself did, and how do you know the homeless guy wasn't perfectly happy with the money once the camera's and microphones were off? Again, you only saw the part meant for entertainment and the show. You never saw everything else that goes on afterwards. Enough with the fake outrage. You people walk and shit on homeless people all day long, whether its intentional or not but then you want to act like crusaders because a stale cake was smashed. Who fucking cares. The guy has enough money to get brand new fresh cakes. In the end no one was actually hurt. God damn you people are a bunch of pussies. There are actual problems in the world that call for peoples attention and its not a 7 year old video of a homeless guy that's most likely dead.
