He can't be this dumb.

I don't normally rip Opie, but I have to today.
Opie's discussion of the Anne Frank House was mind numbing. He actually thinks that the Nazi's were looking specifically for her. He even said that the people looking for her should have torn the walls down to find her. He can't really be this retarded.

The Opster's more of a math guy.

Don't forget that he can really shoot the lights out on the old b-ball court.

Id pay an exorbitant fee to see how terrible opie is at basketball. When he whines about Obama playing and being a nerd it sounds like he is yelling at himself

ant + yimmy + colin = would be the triumvirate of comedy
heres why: (im listening to the colin show with nikki benz)
1: colin eggs ant on to do his impressions 2: ant eggs yimmy on to do his characters 3: they both berate colin for being an old man 4: opie sucks the humor out of the room. its funny that he always talks shit about robin quivers, when hes the white male version of her but with more verbal crutches (hold on hold on. pause. i was howling. jeeezus!)
5 EskimoEscrow 2014-07-21
Ya, Ant was the only one that would play along when Jim did his characters. Opie doesn't get it, so he invented this genius bit where he acts like he doesn't get it.
2 tags33 2014-07-21
I would say this, plus Ronnie B so there's someone who can steer the show well and make sure it flows. But that might be too many funny people leading to everyone getting stepped on.
2 mikelp1973 2014-07-21
I would like Amy Schumer in the background for her wonderful chuckle/laugh. I submit hers is the best.
7 rottenseed 2014-07-21
yeah he can add and subtract! Don't figure it out before him though "hold on hold on hold on"
4 BeerCanThick 2014-07-21
I hate how Opie "quickly figures" how old somebody is from the birth date and announces it so proudly, like he just did some dazzling magic trick. TA DA! Fuckin' dummy.
1 packitchofsositch 2014-07-21
I saw a poll somewhere that showed 98% of people believe they're average or higher in intelligence. Just goes to show how content the true dummies are to "admit" they're "just average." And how hilarious the opster is to think he's actually above in both math and science. Ya know, just two of the numerous subjects out there, nothing too cerebral....
5 geechsmellhound 2014-07-21
Had he not met Ant he would have been Scorch.
40 MartyVanB 2014-07-21
Yes...yes he is. Opie and Jim are complete dummies when it comes to history/politics/law. Ant, the smart one, was about equal to a college freshman with his knowledge. The lack of intellectual curiosity on their part is incredible.
29 [deleted] 2014-07-21
....and their analytic skills are abhorrent. At least you could follow Anthonys arguments and see how he based his opinions. The other two start with an opinion based on their feelings, and then automatically crumble when asked for the rationale.
10 liharts 2014-07-21
You know you are talking to an empty-headed when he uses phrases like "period" and "everybody knows that".
5 Splintuh 2014-07-21
Sounds a bit like Bobby. "You know what dude, Israel has a right to that land in Jerusalem." "But Bobby the Palestinians were there already." "MMmmaaanaaa..."
1 EllOhEllEssAreEss 2014-07-21
Jimmy also? I can usually follow his arguments pretty well. He always held his own when arguing with callers, but he did seem to crumble whenever Ant disagreed with him.
8 [deleted] 2014-07-21
Jims positions are steeped in logical fallacies often times. ie the NSA issue and society's voyeurism. He is certainly not stupid, in the contrary. But he doesn't think out his opinions to the full extent. Great guy though.
6 rottenseed 2014-07-21
Did you say that Jims positions are steeped in logical follies?
3 [deleted] 2014-07-21
haha. I guess I did.
1 RealRockTV 2014-07-21
Jim's strength isn't logical debating, but when it comes to destroying someone in a back and forth trashtalk and making them look ridiculous he's one of the best I've heard. Like when he was arguing with that men's rights lawyer and it started out civil and then it kind of just devolved into shit-talking and Jim made him look very, very silly.
2 breadmoccasin 2014-07-21
The thing about Jimmy is, he is wrong a lot, but he admits it and TRIES to be better. He really tries.
1 rottenseed 2014-07-21
Jim is good for bringing up points in ethical/moral dilemma. I believe he has a method to assessing issues although sometimes he comes of as hypocritical.
3 Kvawrf 2014-07-21
I really think Ant is well versed on a lot of subjects. He has zero academic credentials but has taught himself quite a bit. As an engineer I've always respected Ant's knowledge and laughed at O&J's ignorance of even the simplest of concepts.

This is what I was talking about saying that the show lost its "intelligence" with Ant gone. Even with his silly rants on race and gun control, he could have easily chimed in and explained this particular story for Opie. Opie and Jimy pretend to know history..and its embarassing.
0 zoot123 2014-07-21
colin is smarter than ant; they should both host a show with yimmy on 3rd mic as the little brother character who jacks off too much instead of reading anti-semetic history websites
17 ryanasimov 2014-07-21
Nobody on the show ever holds Opie truly accountable for his misinformation. I've listened to every single show since Oct. 2004 and the number of times that Anthony and Jimmy either skipped over or gently corrected Opie's erroneous assertions is astounding. He is treated with kid gloves, and now with contract time winding down I expect Jimmy to be even more passive and aloof with regards to Opie's pronouncements.
11 devilsadvocate33 2014-07-21
That's a great point, but it's only the tip of the Jewey Iceberger......
In addition to being a dispenser of bad info, he's also a chronic liar, and he chimes in with the unfunniest lines imaginable.
That's like the unholy trinity of douche-baggery.
Luckily for him (in the past), those unfunny lines used to get steamrolled over, because almost everybody else was being funny, and nobody called him out.
But now?!?

When the whole Rob Ford saga was going down Opie kept saying "he is acting crazy on the floor of Parliament" "he's going after another guy in Parliament." and you know, I did like they said, I let it go but he kept doing it all week and I finally tweeted him "Dummy. Rob Ford is a mayor not a member of Parliament. Rob Ford is in Toronto. Parliament is in Ottawa" Its constantly this kind of shit.
8 breadmoccasin 2014-07-21
He knows he's dumb too, which is why he's self conscious and defensive. But he brings a lot to the show, so I give him a pass. Who could forget "Give yourself a bell!"
11 [deleted] 2014-07-21
what does he bring besides setting the direction for the show? He is more like a producer and could do the job off air. Its the others that bring talent. At the very minimum he should just sit there and not say anything and only chime in to switch gears.
9 BRUTAL_ANAL_RAPE8888 2014-07-21
He doesnt even set direction well as evident by the fact that he rambled on for 90 mins about his vacation that went nowhere or changing the game of thrones discussion to a story about his kids or when he cut ant off about hia jaguar to talk about his highschool or a thousand other examples. He is a complete detriment to the show
-5 liharts 2014-07-21
The only credit I give Opie is that he was the one who found and brought to the show Ant and Jimmy. He was obviously smart enough to see the potential in them.
6 mattyp3 2014-07-21
Name one thing he brings to the show that the listeners actually appreciate.
2 breadmoccasin 2014-07-21
My post was a joke btw.
8 rsWhittington 2014-07-21
The fact that he hates people who would correct him on "could care less" just shows what a boob he is. "Everyone knows what you mean", I'm sure they do, but who cares? It's fucking wrong, hence why is fun to bust Voss' balls about celebrity names and common sense screw ups. Everyone knows what he is trying to say, but he's a dummy so it's funny. That attitude sums up why Opie is so insufferable.
7 kentrel 2014-07-21
Their knowledge of history was pretty poor.
Opie can't even remember recent history. He kept saying it was Jon Stewart who made the Eddie Murphy\Beverly Hills Cop reference in Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee. It was Jerry who made the point, in Aziz Ansari's episode!

I also think Jimmy said he knew for sure Auschwitz was in Germany.

2 bcb77 2014-07-21
I don't hate Opie at all, I was just amazed by the idiocy of his statement.
6 BRUTAL_ANAL_RAPE8888 2014-07-21
He really is that stupid. Why couldn't he have been fired instead of ant????
6 TossyMcSalad 2014-07-21
but ''that's the bit'', guys.
you don't get the show.
6 Shitstache52 2014-07-21
This is just another reason why the show needs Anthony.
Opie and Jim are fucking dummies.
You're going to hear a lot of frustratingly stupid shit without Ant in the room to correct them.
6 LindsayShhh 2014-07-21

You're absoloutely right, they were actually specifically looking for Anne. I heard it was Hitler's top priority.
12 kgt5003 2014-07-21
World War 2 actually would have ended if Anne Frank surrendered herself. Hitler said if she turns herself over they'd call the whole thing off.
3 [deleted] 2014-07-21
That's right, he said they'd call the whole thing off.
Here's a full transcript of what Hitler actually said about it:
"Anne listen, if you come out of there I'll forgot the whole god damn thing. It will be just like nothing ever happened. Anne ... baby, I think you hurt my head real bad. Anne...Anne! You got a big surprise coming to you! You're not going anywhere! Go check out the Nazis outside and see what I mean. Hahaha, go check it out! Hahahaha..."

It doesn't mean the German army was hunting her down! There are plenty of people who currently have warrants out for their arrest and they're not hunted. They are just found when paths cross. If anything she had someone equivalent to Dog the bounty hunter searching for her.

All Jews were considered criminals by the Nazis. They weren't deporting her sister, they were sending her to a "work camp" aka concentration camp. The Nazis were looking for all Jews, not just Margot. But, apparently you didn't know that.

this is where you know Opie has no idea about anything,thus doesn't want to start a subject where he has to shut up for 5mins.
