Inappropriate Twitter from Opie any moment now!

"I bet they'll find a way to clone her with even MORE plastic surgery! Ya think that'll fly with the followers, Lyns?", said Gregg to Lynsi as she looked over at her husband nose-deep in his phone and at their two spoiled children and a sense of painful regret filled her. Tear-stricken, she made her way to their kitchen, turned on the oven, and climbed in. Her husband couldn't even hear her screams over his editing of his next viral sensation "Loves The Internet Guy Pt. III: The Double Rainbow"

The last thing she ever heard was her husband recording his signature 'Internet Guy' laugh…

There's no fucking way she knows how to use an oven.

Perhaps not

Perhaps more than that Jim

Needs more Bam Margera

Ugh Joan Rivers dies and still all you can do is talk about Opie. It's pathetic and not funny. Get a fucking life. Joan Rivers is a fucking legend. Show some respect you cunt. At least insult her like she would have wanted.

Ok

Somebody tweeted "RIP Melissa Rivers Career." That made me laff.

Right now Jamie Massada is scrambling to get his "Make God Laugh" sign up outside the Laugh Factory, and then calling into every news outlet he can to weigh in. That fuckin jizz bucket.

Buddy, why you have to be so mean to me buddy?

if it makes you feel better, I don't even know who Jamie massada is

He owns the Laugh Factory in LA.

I doubt Melissa Rivers gives a fuck considering she's about to inherit a shit ton of money. Joan Rivers was a mogel and had a huge staff of people. I heard she was making 20 mil. A year. Melissa Rivers is fine.

I know, dude. It was...it was a joke.

No shit stupid. I gave a real reply though. Next time I'll just write haha or lol. Is that better?

It would be better if someone industrial-stapled your balls to the side of a 747

I love when fans try to put out edgy insults like they're Jimmy. Nothing better.

Yes. Because any time anyone insults anyone, ever, they're ripping off Jimmy. Man, Don Rickles sure owes Jimmy some checks, then. "Hoo hoo, I INVENTED insults..."

Uhm I never said Jimmy invented insult comedy stupid and you're certainly no Don Rickles either so just sit the fuck down. If I said you sound like a certain musician... Say Clapton. Are you going to reply with well actually no no... You're really ripping off some artist for the 30s. Nah you wouldn't. We all know you're Anthony and Jimmy fanboys. That's the difference. Almost no one here ever quotes Rickles. And you're right there would be no Jimmy without Rickles but that's not the point.

I love you accuse me or any of us of ripping off Jimmy, yet you punctuate your comebacks/insults with "stupid," exactly like Jimmy does. Physician heal thyself, I say. Mhm, that's right.

If you think that's a jimmyism then you're really as stupid as I thought because Patrice, Bob Kelly, Keith Robinson and pretty much everyone else uses it too. Stupid is a common word of emphasis too.

You're so fucking dumb it's incalculable.

Whatever you say stupid.

Good answer, Jimmy. Why don't you tell me "slip in a puddle of AIDS" next.

Shut up stupid.

RIP, damn that sucks. She never fucking stopped.

What a goddamn role model for women, despite her plastic surgery obsession. She got her start as a comedienne during the Mad Men era of women's rights. I would never know how funny she was if not for Jim Norton, I just thought she was the loud old lady from the red carpet stuff. RIP to a great lady who didn't take shit from anybody.

I got into her when she started guest hosting for Carson, I'd stay up late painting and drawing, so every night I'd watch Carson, Letterman, and then whatever was on after that. She really was funny as hell.

She's going to be up there with the likes of Carlin and Cosby and Carson. One of the real legends of comedy. That's why Opie's tweets, besides just being rude and mean spirited, were enraging - she deserved more respect. Despite her surgery addiction and red carpet shit to pay the bills, I've never heard people talk shit about her, only how supportive she was of comics, how nice she was. I remember Loius talking about her when she was on his show, he had nothing but positive things to say about her.

I think if you're going to do a line about a dying comic legend, it needs to be a really fucking good line.

What type of shit was Opie saying?

There was this, it was posted to this sub weeks ago:

@Joan_Rivers: I am definitely going to watch The Emmys this year! My makeup team is nominated for "Best Special Effects.”

@OpieRadio: @Joan_Rivers and your pussy voted best torture device from Game of Thrones.

Then last week when she went into hospital he came up with this gem:

@OpieRadio: Joan Rivers Stops Breathing During Throat Procedure. Great, now she's going to need a new nose!

Wow. The Game of Thrones reference doesn't even make sense, and the second joke just flat-out sucked. If the second one was funny, I'd have no issue with him making a joke because she was funny in a very brutal sense most of the time (at least from what I knew of her). I think she might have appreciated some humor even in the worst of circumstances, if you get what I'm saying. But wow, I can't believe he actually pressed submit on those pieces of dog shit. The "new nose" joke is so fucking hack.

He doesnt even watch game of thrones, he just knows its popular, i would have respected some real housewives nonesense more than this

It sucks she had to go fucking nutty with the surgery, but aside from that she was THE female comic and deserves credit for it. Unfortunately her plastic surgery will be the "marbles up her ass" that gets all the attention.

I tend to put her and Roseanne Barr at the top of female comedians. Both changed the game in a big way and most female comedians spend there entire careers ripping both of them off.

That was her vice. Her turning herself into a monster is no different than Jim risking his life picking up street hookers.

Louis needs to stop featuring comedy legends on his show.

Think we all breathed a sigh of relief that nothing happened to DeRosa after his episode.

comedy legends

DeRosa

Should never be mentioned in the same thread. Edit: Unless it's a thread about the KKITITN tat.

Well he did say when he called into Vos & Bonnie's show that tests found fat in his liver, So maybe things are lookin good for ol' teen sensation Derosa's career.

Holy shit, I just figured out what you're talking about...

Death watch: Seinfeld.

I think Stanhope has done enough damage to his body to be next in line.

He might outlive us all

who else died?

Robin Williams.

Ahhh, great episode

Joan is the first of the new death triad though.

Can't wait for the Opesters edgy take on this.

Not just opie but every thread has the same surgery jokes. He's not the only one.

"They won't cremate her, they'll just melt her down into plastic army men."

The plastic in plastic surgery does not refer to the material plastic but the reshaping (plasticity).

Oh, Literal NotInsane.

I had no idea, thanks

What a funny broad she was, never backed down from anyone or any topic and was pretty fucking mainstream late in her career. R.I.P

She was at her peak popularity when she died... like a Kurt Cobain, but 50 years older.

I bet Opie is "crafting" a tweet as we speak.

Something about plastic surgery and her cremation creating a hole in the ozone layer.

OHHZOOONE LAYERRRRRRRRRR!

@OpieRadio

Sad for real! RIP Joan Rivers

For realsies!

Good. Even he's not stupid enough to blow that one.

How many hours is this from his shitty twitter joke about her?

Barely alive - possible mean viral comment Definitely dead - possible respectable viral comment

GFY

I only just watched her Documentary a few months ago. The woman was an industry in herself. She had hundreds on her payroll and just never stopped working to support her staff, family and life style. There was obviously a great will to carry on being relevant too that kept her going. Fair play to the old c*nt and may she rest in peace.

"I bet she got eaten by her cunt!"

Good job Opie.

You not only wreck shows but lives too.

Her husband's going to get an earful

I'm sentimental.

Gilbert Gottfried did a great job roasting Joan Rivers, and the dais a few years back http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3W4RmZ-C8cU

The people who say "don't make jokes about Joan Rivers" baffle me. Do they not understand what she did all her life? Making fun of dead people was her specialty

funniest woman

I didn't like her.

A few months ago I read an LA Weekly article about how bad she douched all the writers on her stupid fashion show for years, it really annoyed me. I've kind of hated her since. It's the same feeling I get every time I watch a John Landis flick and love it, but then get that pang of "Oh, right; this irresponsible shit head killed a guy and two children."

Are you talking about that helicopter accident while they were filming the Twilight Zone movie?

No. I was referring to the other horrific John Landis on-set accident...

haha that was a good one

Not being a dick, genuinely curious, how was that his fault? Should I wiki this shit?

Yes. "Google it." - I. Halperin

You rang?

Strike while the iron's hot, Opie! "Patrice & Joan Talk with God"! https://soundcloud.com/opieradio/me-babbling-about-stuff

Someone please find the tweets from a few weeks ago where Opie was trashing Joan

[deleted]

Inappropriate Opie comments? Eww. This pretty much confirms this sub if full of sensitive faggots. Here's the most upvoted comments from the Joan Rivers thread. At least the rest of reddit actually has a sense of humor.

"Despite the tragic passing of Joan Rivers, she'll be performing four shows this weekend at Foxwoods Casino"

"I must know: What outfit was she caught dead in?"

"Dot Matrix has powered down for the last time."

"Louis CK's show is the kiss of death."

"Can't wait to see what she's wearing to the funeral!"

Do words hurt, faggot?

its doesn't get the bit guy

About two weeks ago I dreamed Bill Burr died.

guess who tweeted his respects?

Gregg, knows his timing, Hughes.

He bashed because she could take it. now that shes gone, time to pay the dues!

So long, Opie Army hitters!

It's amazing to me how many people lamented Robin Wiliams non-stop, but don't give a shit or mock Joan Rivers death -- personally I liked her better than him and for the last 10+ years her career was more interesting than his.

RIP Joan, I only like you because Jimmy does. Heres my tribute video.

Viral spiral rules.

Rest in plastic

Haha ppl are killing him in the replies.

like he killed joan with his hack joke?

[deleted]

(top comment in the death announcement thread)

"She died doing what she loved: having surgery performed on her."

I'd change it to "She died doing what she loved: trying to recover from surgery."

That's why you're not a comic

One link to a clip or one quote from Joan Rivers that actually made you laugh.

Do it you bandwagon phonies. Just one.

Jimmy says she's good, so you have to pretend you like her.

paraphrasing but "i think i'm bad at sex. my husband never says anything but when we're done he uses chalk to outline my body."

How about you blow us, first?

i'll shit in your mouth faggot

So EDGY.

She pushed boundaries and spoke her mind. He never backed down by anyone who was offended by her humor. In the 70s and 80s she was one of the funniest, edgiest comics there was, paving the way for other female comics. There's much more to her than "a clip or one quote from Joan Rivers that actually made you laugh."

She pushed boundaries and spoke her mind.

Did she.

Just a few months ago they were playing clips of her on O&A. I believe Ron Bennington was in studio. It was her talk show appearance where she made a joke about being old, and said "My vagina is SOOO DRY!"

Norton, Bennington and Opie did forced, exhale laughs the whole way throughout. It was just sad and embarrassing to listen to. There are people you have to pretend are funny to make it seem like you "get" comedy.

How about you just judge comedy by what's funny instead of who is considered royalty?

I bet when Billy Crystal dies, everyone in this sub will be saying "RIP, he was truly a legend and an innovator."

Not from me. I've hated him forever. I hate that he's in some of my favorite movies, like Princess Bride (doing that same hack Old Jewish Guy character).

Him and Robin Williams. Say what you will, but I was done with him by Patch Adams. Just not funny. I've avoided all of the Robin Williams talk, because I'm just not a fan of his, at all.

Upvoted for the Crystal, but you are wrong about Williams.He is in a lot of good dramatic movies.

some of my favorite movies, like Princess Bride

You faggot.

Anyway, Robin Williams is a great example. A day before his death, if you mentioned him on this sub, people would have said "OH THAT JOKE STEALING HACK. HE DOES SHITTY IMPRESSIONS. HE JUST THINKS TALKING FAST AND MOVING A LOT MAKES YOUR ACT FUNNY. BOO."

After he's dead? "Robin Williams was truly one of the greats of comedy. I always liked XYZ"

It's like when Lou Reed died. All of a sudden everyone is a fan and "always liked him". People jump on the bandwagon. You're a pretentious fuck if you act like that doesn't happen with comedians too.

Thats like if your mom passes away and you say "OH NOW YOU TWEET ABOUT LOVING YOUR MOM?"

You expect people to express how much of a fan they are of someone every day??

You're a grumpy one aren't ya
