Of course Opie just did that. He thinks he's clever and it's cringe humor - but it's just uninspired douchebaggery. This is why he gets dumped on, repeatedly.
And for all the Opie apologists in this thread who defend his "genius" - Jimmy, the comedian of the show, found no need to crack a joke as the news came out.
"I might have, umm, given out a link to a Robin Williams story that was actually one of my videos [muffled laughter from Opie, silence from everyone else]"
what else do you expect from a Scorch-level hack? I think I might be giving Opie too much credit, at least Scorch doesn't come off a miserable fuck with no passion for his job. at least we think Scorch enjoy what he does.
Who also attacked the "dummies" who tweeted jokes on the day Patrice died. I'm not saying I disagree, what I am saying is that the man has 0 self awareness.
What a complete shill, he is obsessed with being viral. This is completely disrespectful and unfunny, everything he does makes me hate him more nowadays.
Why would you expect anything actually funny from him? Seriously, it's the same shit run it to the ground over and over with him complaining at the end 'dummies' dont get it.
This is the reason I get annoyed when Opie says he could do radio by himself. He is literally worthless and devoid of any comic ability. Opie has never made me laugh once, and I can only imagine the cancer that would be a solo radio show Opie put together.
And when he does post a sincere attempt at being funny (Re: how to chain your dragon") and the response is negative, this hack quickly removes the video. I feel sorry for anyone that doesn't see through Opie's contrived "I don't give a fuck" attitude.
Not true. He had all the mirrored copies taken down with a copyright claim specifically from opieradio. Dreamworks wouldn't have done that or acted so quickly
What is the point of "going viral" to a millionaire 20 year radio host? At the very most he gets a day on the news cycle with an interview by some shit heel reporter. He's in the media already. He's on the other side!!
Because he's a clueless boob. Any person can create something viral if they put enough thought into it. It's not hard to get to 1 million youtube views these days.
He's such an colossal idiot that even with access to so many celebrities he can't think of anything original to do. Look at Kimmel and how he uses celebs to grow a 1 minute segment into a 7-million view video overnight. You just have to do something original. Opie doesn't have any of that shit.
Edit: Usage note:
Since the early 20th century, literally has been widely used as an intensifier meaning “in effect, virtually,” a sense that contradicts the earlier meaning “actually, without exaggeration”: The senator was literally buried alive in the Iowa primaries. The parties were literally trading horses in an effort to reach a compromise. The use is often criticized; nevertheless, it appears in all but the most carefully edited writing. Although this use of literally irritates some, it probably neither distorts nor enhances the intended meaning of the sentences in which it occurs. The same might often be said of the use of literally in its earlier sense “actually”: The garrison was literally wiped out: no one survived.
AHAHAHHAHAAHAHAH. The TWISTED GENIUS strikes again. Bravo sir. Opie I just wanna say, I've always thought you were funny and you always brought a lot of original and hilarious bits to the sh dialtonedouchey laughter
Here's hoping he comes out with a t-shirt or Instagram print to commemorate this tweet. Without Anthony, Opie is no better than the radio they made fun of during Jocktober. Must be unsettling to come to that realization at the end of one's career.
Haven't seen the video but got giant douche chills from the rubes that tweet to him. Some really "LOL" at that one. Yuck. Of course, fuck me if I don't get the sarcasm haha.
Hahahahaha there's no fucking way he did this by accident. Some people forget this is actually what he does, like when Jimmy Superfly Snuka was on and he asked him what his dead wife was up to now. It's fucking cringe inducing but he has his moments in my opinion.
Am i missing something? Is Opie Robin's friend or sumthin? He doesn't need to post these insincere RIP tweets like a bunch of other people who haven't even spoken about the guy in months or even years. People die all the time and Opie's tweet is pretty much mocking the twitter reaction not the death. Ant also tweeted "Hey, anyone have a Robin Williams pic?" If you wanna be angry at one, be angry at both
You people will hate Opie for anything. It's amazing. This was actually a little funny. You assholes are on an Opie and Anthony sub and out of all the shit they've done this is what pisses some of you off? I bet if it was Anthony the joke would go down fine.
If Anthony made a joke like this it would have been a funny one, not this lame shit. It's not the fact that he's joking that's shitty, it's the fact that it was such a fucking stupid attempt at humour. If you're going to joke about a legend like Robin Williams killing himself you have to come to the table with more than the shit Opie served up. And don't think for a moment it wasn't partly a numbers grab too, because it's Opie we're talking about here.
See this would be gallows humor if he posted a laugh track video or something like that, but he linked a video from his youtube channel. Let that sink in. Not even one that provides context or his new laughing internet guy, just a guy skating.
"Fucking hilarious" is a bit much. But yeah, I got a chuckle
And seriously? Everyone is playing the "too soon" card? This is reminiscent of old-school O&A and something the show has been lacking for years.
Instead injecting some of this much needed attitude, he will just bitch about how the "haters" don't get his sense of humor. Robin Williams' death talk will turn into more "Opie's Twitter Life" rant
Are you really unable to tell the difference between a joke and him just being a douchebag to get youtube views? This tweet wasn't edgy, it wasn't cringe humor, it wasn't even a joke.
This post is pathetic and the top comment is I hope Opie gets fired. Are you guys even fans of the show? Seriously I'm embarassed by shit like this. You guys obsession with Opie is pathetic.
Really, you don't understand the joke. You think he's just doing it for views or laughs you dope. If you can't understand the joke you have no right to critique it.
"Opie Defenders" Urgh. I love that the dopey O&A fans, who like to think they're better than everyone else, talk to people as if they can't see what their saying. Y'know, cause they can't actually address said point. Go fuck yourself.
The misdirection of someone thinking they're going to be watching a sad, deep, meaningful tribute and it's just Opie's latest dumb video. I don't see what's so difficult.
