You don't find thermite_paint to be the definition of high comedy?

Look at every response to any of Opie's tweets

Do you actually do that?

Of course he does, hes probably the most obsessed opie hater on here :)

Speaking of which click on his name, i was curious to see how funny he was. I mean the whole topic is kind of silly, its about 100x easier to be funny when your MAKING FUN of someone compared to defending them. Anyways he's got some gems there hes a real barrel of laughs.

Nothing less funny than a guy who thinks hes funny going "look at how unfunny these people are compared to me"

That being said this was definitely his funniest post :) so much so that it may be beyond his comprehension of why.

You don't find mom jokes funny? I think TheActor_GreggHughes has passed you by.

Stop putting smiley faces. I feel like you're seducing me. Quit it creep

I guess if I sat around and worshiped Norton, ant, Ron, and Patrice I'd all the sudden be funny? Go fuck yourself faggot.

HA! Another knee-slapper! well done thermite paint

Edit - Fixed it for you - keep up the hilarity!

Sweet I wasn't trying to be funny there?

ANOTHER ONE! I'M HOOWWWWLING!

You're trying to hard. This is way to easy.

FUCKIN HOMERUN THERMITEPAINT!

....

A PERFECTLY TIMED COMEDIC PAUSE! YOU'RE ON FIRE!!!

The comedy gold of Thermite can not be stopped. Use faggot again to really hit the mark

"TOO," you illiterate dope. Oh my god your fucking grammar is atrocious.

Yes I'm the only one ever to make that mistake. I've also told you I don't care. I proof read nothing and I use auto correct. Get over it faggot. It's reddit no one cares that much.

Illiterate AND a homophobe. I'd love to see you fill out a job application or write a cover letter.

They're r sum thingz woorth proofreading lyke job applkations butt whenZ I be on da fhone and b typin fast own reddit iz donnt kare.

Actually I do well enough for myself I don't have to fill out job applications and beg for work. Not every job out there that makes money requires you to be a literary genius.

Obviously yours doesn't. And not knowing the difference between "too" and "to" and other 3rd grade level grammar comprehension has nothing to do with you posting from your iphone.

Sure it does. You clearly don't know how auto correct works do you? It often incorrectly misuses there, their, and they're, as well as to, too, and two. I'm sorry this upsets you to the point you need to have a conversation about it.

I just feel bad for you. And I don't need auto correct, I paid attention in school and am, y'know...not dumb.

He's fockin slaying, this cocksucka

The name is thermite paint. There's no under score you stupid fuck.

LOL! Made me shoot milk through my nose'

Face

Whoa whoa whoa, leave Ron out of this.

I will when Fez finally kills him and the bit pays off.

You don't think he's been a little more conscious of interrupting people? I feel like he's trying to better himself.

Nice one jimmy! You misspelled "shotgun" though.

edit: what, no comeback faggot? too funny for you? opie isn't that bad and the blind ant defenders who think it's opie vs. anthony and "i'm picking ant's side, down with opie!" are the biggest cunts of any segment of the fanbase.

Shame, shame, shaaaaaaame

shame on you

Something something AIDS.

well they're not necessarily trying to be funny

I like Opie and let me tell ya, I am quite the cut-up.

I would probably kill myself if started recognizing redditors by name. You might be spending too much time here.

I hope you skateboard over a pebble today and knock all of your front teeth out.

To be fair judging from the twitter mentions all three guys get, here and facebook most of the people who listen to the show aren't funny.

Listen to when opie reads instant feedback.

I would say it is extremely rare that instant feedback and calls are funny.

Or that the Opie haters aren't all funny either?

Bite your tongue. Some of the funniest goddamn things I've read in this sub have been written by Opie haters.

I know, the same jokes over and over and over again... with that level of humor you think they'd LOVE Opie.

"It's like how blacks will always defend other blacks no matter what crime they have committed."

Ahh.. no we dont. In fact, there are a lot of us that find the acts of the thuggish black culture to be abominable. We dislike the way the media treats us with kid gloves as it does a huge disservice and more harm to the black/minority communities than any good it might do by ignoring the goings on.

Yeah, they're the same people who stepped in back in school when the abnormally well developed kid was raining haymakers on the temple of the weak nerdy dude.

It's no coincidence.

The Opie hatred has no impact anymore. You guys are shooting dust at this point. It's old and hack.

Beating your wife has no impact either. It's just fun.

If there is no impact when you beat your wife, then you are doing it wrong.

my name is Ray Rice and I approve of this message

Yee Haw Redneck.

Unfunny people that are not self aware of how unfunny they are

the greatest bit of irony in the history of the written word. congratulations, douche.

[deleted]

Hahah! That is a pretty funny. Opie hate originates from Wackbag.

Guess you didn't fit in over there.

[deleted]

Oh, so you don't even know what you are talking about.

[deleted]

You people have let it become an obsession. It's unhealthy really.. You know I don't even hate Opie. It's like without him there wouldn't be a show in the first place. So how can you go against that simple logic. Yeah he's not as funny as Ant. Just do what I did, stop listening and subscribe to TACS. Don't torture yourself by loathing someone like that. Useless to do so

It really is funny how many people shit on Opie yet continue to religiously listen to the show.

What are all these people listening for? These Anthony a Cumia but nuthuggers are deluded.

You ever realize how the Anthony and Jimmy lovers are never original and try to hard to be edgy like Norton? You also ever realize OP that you're weird? You obsess over a 50-something year old man and his fans. Literally how much more pathetic can you be with these threads? You lack originality yourself. You're not even one of the funny Opie haters or an original. It's pathetic. Some of you people act like you're the only ones that know comedy or what funny is. Even Jimmy called you people out for your overuse of the word hack, and the fact you've never done comedy means you probably shouldn't use the word at all. Most standups get pissed at how freely you throw that word around. Just because you don't like doesn't mean it's hack. People here called Andy kindler a hack despite having an incredibly successful career. Oh sorry he doesn't wash ants balls.

Hack was originally a word used by writers. Comics adopted the word because they write jokes. If you ever wrote anything you can use hack. It's not a comic's word.

I'm a writer first and foremost for my work and I do comedy in my free time and I can back this up if need be.

Great but words and there meanings change depending on who's using it. You're using it like comedians use it. You people throw the word hack around way to much. Even Jimmy and other comic friends of the show have had to tell Opie and Anthony fans to shut up with the word hack. It gets tossed around here way to freely. You people aren't writers and most of you have never done comedy. Find another word to describe something you don't like.

I don't use the word hack but if you do use it you use it to describe someone who is doing unoriginal material. It could be funny. If it's unoriginal that's when the person is a "hack." And nobody uses that word more than Opie and Jimmy.

Most standups get pissed at how freely you throw that word around

Evidence to support that? Just because Jimmy said it once, doesn't mean the majority of comics "get pissed". I'm sure most comics never consider how often the word "hack" is used, and if they did, they wouldn't give a shit.

You should try to avoid putting obvious bullshit like that in your posts. It invalidates whatever else you were trying to say.

Andy kindler ... incredibly successful career

Or maybe you are just an elaborate troll. The guy takes bit parts on Disney Channel.. I have no idea if he's a hack because I would never sit through his "comedy", but he certainly isn't successful or funny.

Evidence? The hundreds of hours of shows and podcasts I've listened too. The word hack is thrown around way to freely. Just look at how you talk about kindler. You don't have to like him, and the comedy may not be for you but to say he's a hack and unfunny makes you a disingenuous douche. I don't like the movie sound of music. Does that make it a bad movie? No. Just because I don't understand it doesn't mean it's hack or bad.

I specifically said I don't know if he's a hack because I'm not familiar enough with him. I watched his set on Letterman and some of his speeches at Montreal and there is nothing funny about him whatsoever.

Obviously that is a subjective opinion, but for you to say he has an amazing career is not subjective. It is blatantly untrue. And Kindler opens himself up to criticism by talking shit about other comedians like Louis C.K. If he doesn't want his material reviewed, maybe he should stop talking shit about other people's material.

You're just as obsessive over a 50 year old man in terms of defending him. Jesus fucking christ, pump out a joke or two every now and then and people might not hate you so much.

Obsessed is coming to a sub daily to bitch and moan about a show and radio host. I'm just a fan of Opie and Anthony. It makes sense for me to be here. If I wasn't anymore I'd just leave.

I read this subreddit for almost a year before I made an account and I disagreed with a lot of things people said, but you know what I did? I ignored it. I'm just trying to give you advice here.

Am I supposed to give a shit about what you did or something? I mean honestly I don't care.

Well that's just rude.

Yes you're right, there was no need for that sort of rudeness in this sub.

Thermitepaint's behavior is, excuse my language, quite poor.

You're excused. That language can be used in the right circumstances and I believe this counts. This is a family friendly subreddit and that kind of stream of vitriol should not be tolerated. I'll be blogging about this later and you will be thought of highly, my friend. Not Thermitepaint though, not after this.

It's ok leave I...pardon you.

[deleted]

You're an idiot. Keep scrolling through my comments you clearly don't have a job to go to. And you really think I'm fucking troy? Bwhahahahahahahaha. There's a difference between street skating and longboarding like a hipster douche. Why don't you obsess about me a little more and start another unsuccessful thread about me.

[deleted]

Don't listen to him man, he's just a bully.

[deleted]

Why do you defend Opie? Because you think he's good or because you don't mind him and you're annoyed by all the hate towards him? I mean I don't hate him and I feel kinda bad for how much shit he's getting but it's hard not to point out his cringe inducing moments. (and it's also fun).

If I told you it would ruin the bit brother man.

I guess I'll let it go

Fuck all to do with comedy or comedians, any observer has legitimate access to that word.

hack (noun)

1. a person, as an artist or writer, who exploits, for money, his or her creative ability or training in the production of dull, unimaginative, and trite work; one who produces banal and mediocre work in the hope of gaining commercial success in the arts: As a painter, he was little more than a hack.

2. a professional who renounces or surrenders individual independence, integrity, belief, etc., in return for money or other reward in the performance of a task normally thought of as involving a strong personal commitment: a political hack.

3. a writer who works on the staff of a publisher at a dull or routine task; someone who works as a literary drudge: He was one among the many hacks on Grub Street. Synonyms: scribbler.

There you go chuckles, you've learned something new today.

Yes I know the definition of the word hack stupid. My point is it gets thrown around by Opie and Anthony fans way to much. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean it qualifies and unoriginal, or unimaginative and hack. Even the comic friends of the show have recognized that Opie and Anthony fans throw the word around way to much.

No you didn't stupid (copyright Colin Quinn you drone). Do you think we can't still see your original post where you swallowed whole the Jimmy Norton definition and proscription.

Then you actually fucking typed

called Andy kindler a hack despite having an incredibly successful career

... you wrote that, then now desperately expect us to believe you knew all along hack means banal and mediocre work in the hope of gaining commercial success, go fuck yourself, you've no chance of landing that argument.

Kindler sucks, Opie sucks, you suck worse than either of them.

Game, set, match.

I didn't know Norton and Colin had a copyright on stupid because you know Keith Richardson, Bob Kelly, Patrice and a whole load of other people use it. Most people use the word stupid. It's a good point of emphasis.

Kindler is hardly a hack. Is that why actual comics like Jimmy, Florentine, burr, and many others have only had good things to say about him. Right. Because you over all these other people know comedy.

Comics are often the wrong people to ask about comedy.

If you listen to Jimmy Amy Schumer is one of the greatest comedic minds of our generation, I haven't heard a single one of the regulars ever express a negative opinion of Dane Cook and I think most people agree that while he is top-shelf entertainment on the show lil' Yimmy himself doesn't exactly have what we'd call a great set.

I'm not saying they don't know funny, but when you're as tight knit as that scene you almost subconsciously are less judgmental of your peers. They shit on each others acts but it's in that "I can beat up my brother but anyone else fucks with him they're dead" type way.

Keith Richardson is doing comedy now? Where can I purchase this album?

Regardless, Opie fits all the criteria in the definition RupertRooksby posted

Maybe we should start calling it the H-bomb?

I thought OP was the one that did the pretend Opie AMA? That was quite funny and original.

Btw, I think listeners of O&J and R&F and the many podcasts are just overexposed to comedians and their pontificating about comedy, that's why they're adopting their hang-ups. Most professional funny men are just deperately trying to hide the fact that they're en par with a vaudeville dog act, so let's not start taking verbal or social cues from them.

I don't use the word hack but if you do use it you use it to describe someone who is doing unoriginal material. It could be funny. If it's unoriginal that's when the person is a "hack." And nobody uses that word more than Opie and Jimmy.
