Why exactly does Opie mispronounce shit?
15 2014-09-18 by Doom_Art
Like he'll toss an "r" into "wash" and says "blueberries" like "blueburries". There's a bunch of other examples, but I don't feel like dredging them all up right now.
It's obvious he does it on purpose, but I mean, he can't think it's funny, and he can't think it gets him attention from Jimmy, Ant, or the staff, because I've never heard them mention it. So why bother with it?

you sound like a big fat person
5 kgt5003 2014-09-18
Well I don't have a TACS shirt and I'm only 160 lbs so 4x would be a bit large for me. His show is pretty great though and if I wasn't busy later I would definitely be watching it.
5 ThermiteTaint 2014-09-18
are you responding to the big fat person? don't do that

He's so angry, isn't he?

5 ThermiteTaint 2014-09-18
Big fat person sitting in his car. He claims he's 6' and 160lbs who loves to skateboard but we all know he's a big fat person eating in his car. Big fat people can't ride skateboards. Do you deliver food? That would make sense for a big fat person
-1 [deleted] 2014-09-18
Nah I don't deliver food. Just waiting on a customer and in the meantime I sit here while there late ass pays me. Let's keep this up though. I wanna see how long you can keep these hilarious fat jokes up. And the skateboarding? Atlest I get out and do stuff. You seem to have no life outside of obsessing over a show.
3 ThermiteTaint 2014-09-18
What kind of food do you deliver? I bet it's beef ankles. Eating beef ankles in your car dreaming of getting your big fat person frame onto the skateboard again. Be careful not to eat all the beef ankles you big fat person
-1 [deleted] 2014-09-18
I skate a couple hours a day and no I don't deliver shit. Keep going though I'm still here getting paid for at least another hour.
2 ThermiteTaint 2014-09-18
Do you play your playstation skateboarding because you're too much of a big fat person to ride a real one? That must be what you do after you deliver beef ankles to other big fat people. You're a big fat person right?

You serious? I'm from NYC originally and I've yet to actually meet someone who pronounces wash as "warsh". That's not an accent, it's 100% affected.
3 thecrazing 2014-09-18
Decades ago 'warsh' was pretty typical in that southern Ohio, PA, Virginia area. 'Midland accent' should yield you decent Google results.
3 MSBerg33 2014-09-18
I'm from MD and warsh is used a lot
-17 [deleted] 2014-09-18
It's still an accent though. That's literally all it is. You've seriously never heard people replace there i's with e's and so on? It's probably because you're useless and not enough people care to talk to you.
8 mesobuku 2014-09-18
Look you dumb dickhole, it's one thing to subconsciously speak with a regional accent, yes. But that has absolutely nothing to do with the fact Opie mispronounces words on purpose for some unknown, unfunny reason.
-4 [deleted] 2014-09-18
Just like millions of other Americans who constantly mispernounce things?
8 ThermiteTaint 2014-09-18
Ehhh. Gaaa...are you a big fat person? Were you talking about a big fat person?
5 b0rjomi 2014-09-18
Then it's not an accent, dipshit. It's him intentionally mispronouncing words for the sake of "comedy" because, much like you, the Opester knows nothing about humor.
-3 [deleted] 2014-09-18
God damn your comment is reaching hard. Get over your Opie hate you delusional cunt. What does how he pernounces things have to do with anything? There are regional accents far worse than what Opie does.

Holy shit, how fucking dense are you? I'm beginning to wonder if you're posting to make Opie haters to look like idiots. If that's your goal, you're certainly doing a good job of it.

2 ThermiteTaint 2014-09-18
that's what a big fat person says. So you're a big fat person?
1 b0rjomi 2014-09-18
Going after Opie just for this? There's a shitload of reasons he annoys me, and you act like this is the one thing I care about? Sounds like you're the one reaching now, Mr "God damn your comment is reaching hard". Keep on projecting, you worthless cumstain.
-2 [deleted] 2014-09-18
Jesus you're thick headed as fuck aren't you? I said going after how Opie speaks is a reach and it makes your actual criticisms of him seem stupid. The fact you have this much contempt for someone who's never done anything personally to you just goes to show how shallow of a person you actually are.
1 b0rjomi 2014-09-18
Yeah, cause I'm totally out for Opie's blood, right? Moronic cunt. The dude annoys me, but in case you haven't noticed, I really don't devote a lot of time to Opie-hate. Hell, I've probably spend more time today arguing with your dumb ass than I've spent on all my other posts combined...although seeing how I could have a better debate by shouting at a brick wall, I think it's about time for me to move on. The fact that you spend so much time blindly defending a person who probably isn't even aware of your existence just goes to show how shallow of a person you actually are.
-1 [deleted] 2014-09-18
Do I blindly follow someone or am I just railing against the unnecessary hate fest around here? Maybe you should think about it. After a while the Opie hate gets fucking old and you get lumped in with those people because at this point there is no line.
1 b0rjomi 2014-09-18
What you're doing right now isn't "railing against the unnecessary hate fest ". All I did was point out that Opie's obviously-affected way of talking annoys me, and right away you're getting fuckin' fresh. I don't make it a habit to go around blindly smashing anyone who disagrees with me, but evidently, I can't say the same about you.
-1 [deleted] 2014-09-18
Ahhh but you unintentionally get lumped with those haters because bitching about how he speaks just makes it seem like you're piling on for no good reason. Are you to thick to understand that?
3 ThermiteTaint 2014-09-18
Are you too thick? Big fat people are thick. You're a big fat person
2 b0rjomi 2014-09-18
Yes, I understand that. And if you weren't such a pissy contrarian, you might be able to tell the difference between someone who devotes their entire existence to being a "hater" and a mildly-annoyed person. It isn't that difficult, honestly.
1 [deleted] 2014-09-18
Nah around here it's quite difficult unless I read through your entire comment history. This place is a cess pool.

1 Duh_Fuhrer 2014-09-18
From where?
32 schmoegreene 2014-09-18
It's because Jimmy, Ronnie, Ant, etc. would say the words humorously at times, and Opie just copies them. Jimmy definitely started the warsh thing and Ronnie does the long ssssssss at the end of words. Opie hunts out these humorous ad-libs and assassinates them like Willard did to Kurtz.

I don't remember the story about warsh, but Jimmy and Ant used to always say blueburries then Opie stole it and drove it into the ground.
26 WhiskeynPeanutbutter 2014-09-18
"then Opie stole it and drove it into the ground."
You just described the Opster's career pretty accurately
10 BigPhrank 2014-09-18
No this is wrong. Opie took it from one of his brothers (Elmo I think ) and Jimmy started using it after and all the time.
I was just listening to the episode. Some time in July/August 2006. This was a time when Opie pointed that Jimmy and Ant were "stealing" his lines and that he (Opie) only had a few bits. (Tearing down the Nth wall, the actor who plays Opie, etc)

Reminds me of that dip shit Al sharptons msnbc commercial where he kepr saying bluburries.
3 CowsAreCurious 2014-09-18
I think it's mostly that he's just really stupid. He doesn't have the confidence to try and pronounce a lot of words correctly so he pronounces easy words wrong so he can say that it's "the bit" when he actually fucks up a word.
3 majestik6 2014-09-18
Opie tries to be funny by intentionally mispronouncing things. But he's not good at comedy, so it comes off as awkward and try-hard. Jim Norton is a good example of this. Back in 2005 Steve C came up with a character named "Ramone." Steve's bits weren't funny, because Steve wasn't funny. But because Jimmy is good at comedy, he turned Steve's Ramone bit into one of the most memorable characters of the early XM years.
2 Slippery_Slope_Guy 2014-09-18
All of them do this to some extent. They're just being silly. Why does it annoy you when Opie does it?
2 chris2webby 2014-09-18
"warsh" is something people actually say. I live in the south and people throw "r" into alot of words, like instead of window, you'd say "winder". I remember even Dan said "warsh" on Roseanne once.
2 Iamaredditlady 2014-09-18
He honestly mispronounces several words so, now he does it with others to make it funny instead of sad.

1 Chipper_Chip 2014-09-18
I believe that he legitimately cannot read.
When he reads a news story, he will stumble on anywhere form 5-10 words depending on the source of the story (the higher the writer's intelligence the harder it is for Opie to have knowledge of the "big" words) and the length.
People that cannot read usually have pronunciation problems.
Therefore, he's an illiterate moron.

Opie desperately wants to start a national meme. "Brotherman" was his first attempt at it.
He has the most odd goals in life. Instead of going for content on his show being remembered, he wants a viral video. Instead of being known for his interviewing skills, he wants to create a meme.
He's Mr. SocialMediaKeeed.
