What do you think of Bob Kelly?

You'd think considering how often he is on the show he'd be mentioned more here. Seems like people don't really care about him either way.

Any Bobby fans here?

He's pretty fat. I enjoy him.

Don't worry, This is just his sixteenth fat.

I love Bobby on the show. My favorite appearances are when he's with Vos and/or Colin. Now that he has a kid and moved to the suburbs to live family life, I'm surprised Opie doesn't have him on more now that Opie can finally relate to him a little. Still, he's funny when he's in there busting balls with Vos, Colin, and Jimmy.

I can't stand Bobby's podcast though. He has way too many people on there and it becomes an unlistenable mess of 8 people all talking at the same time.

Bobby's great..always enjoy him on the show. His podcast used to be awesome..but it's gone downhill. Far too many people on at once, all talking over each other and slamming one another. They very rarely get good conversation going.

I agree. When it was just Bob, Soder, and Festuca, it was great! It went downhill and I stopped listening.

I like Joe List and The Puerto Rican Rattlesnake too.

To be fair they corrected that about a year ago, Bobby has way less people in his shows at any one time, and makes sure people don't talk over each other.

I like him on the show, seems like a "cool dude" as they say.

I used to really hate him. He grew on me, but it literally took years and years. To me he was just a Norton wanna be, stole his style of jokes, his cadence, delivery, everything. He was the least funny off-the-cuff of the regular crew of guys that came in, and he just generally annoyed me. I remember seeing him open for Jimmy at my college in like 02, and Bobby fucking bombed horribly. I don't think I'd ever really seen a comedian bomb before that, it was really uncomfortable. Big room too, probably 500-1000 people, just fucking silence for 10-12 minutes.

I think one of the things that turned me around was seeing him on Louie and stuff, the guy is a really good actor. Joe's movie "Cheat" kind of stunk, but Bowbby is still good in it, even.

I like Bobby on the show, but his weight and the fact that his old special "Just The Tip" was almost all fat jokes made me hate his comedy. I don't care about fat people, but to base your comedy on how much you eat and for that to be your "thing" just makes me hate you. I think my /fatpeoplehate and /Opieandanthony posts are becoming intertwined.

I cannot believe how much he looks like Brando in Apocalypse Now with that shaved head of his. Esp when he wears a black t shirt, Jesus Christ. He looks just like him.

Babwy bashing Vos is always vicious and hilarious.

I like him on the show when he's in studio. I don't really like it when he calls in, it seems like he's 2 steps back for whatever reason.

I think he's hungry.

Bobby is good. Don't really like his podcast for a longterm listen but on the show he's solid. His comedy is decent too. I'd give him a 6.5 out of 10 standup wise.

Naaaat Funny!

I love yimmy's impression of him though.

You know what dude, I do too.

Duuuuuuuuude, hold my hand man!

I love his appearances on the show, but his stand up not so much.

I love that fat bastard. And I enjoy his podcast very much and I listen to all of them. I don't mind him having a lot of guests on, it kind of balances out the podcasts like Burr's that are usually just one guy talking.

I always imagine how crazy Burr must look having a conversation by himself in a hotel room.

I love Bobby, always an easy target for bashing but he's actually fucking funny in his own right too. Agree about what some said about his podcast though, way too many voices. Great example was the time Troyquan was on and the death of his girlfriend came up. He barely got a word in even though he was willing to discuss it, which would have been compelling.

Love Bobby. He's a awesome dude & I've talked to him many times doing artwork for him. Couldn't be a cooler dude.

I always enjoyed hearing him on O&A. The episodes where Bob, Jim, Colin, Rich and Ant pile in on each other are probably the greatest things the show produced. Bob is a likable person. He's honest, angry and morbidly obese, what's not to like? His podcast verges on shit though. That aussie women Kelly is useless.

love the fatman, wish he got a partner named jake

Who doesn't like Bobby? His sink fucking story won me over.

I saw the sink-fucker recently in Tampa and it was the best stand up set I've see in a long time

He's too stupid. I know comedy and stupidity are often closely related, but he just goes too far in that direction for me.

Cuz I'm super fawkn smart!

Bobby's probably the one out of the group I'd most like to be friends with.

I like him somewhere between Vos and Burr.

I have always hated him. Anytime he was on I could not turn my radio off fast enough.

I like him because he is so fucking mental. He doesn't make me laugh too much with his comedy, but his storytelling is top notch and he had an interesting life. I love his stories about childhood and about all the sick, perverted shit he has done. And of course, he is one of the greatest targets in show history.

Hate him.

I like his standup, podcast, and when hes in studio. He did standup on a recent live episode of Tom Papa's podcast that I found hilarious.

i love bob, he gets very underrated around here, bobby/colin, bobby/burr, bobby/derosa are some of my favorite OnA comic combos.

plus any time someone does a bobby impression its always great.

That's probably the one thing that DeRosa can do flawlessly.

Definitely one of my favorite regulars.

I like Bobby, he's not the funniest of that group but still funny and a good storyteller.

i dislike him.

He's hilarious - although I occasionally think it's Jimmy and not him talking. One of his best lines I can recall is when he said to Ant "You're not fat, but your not ripped either. You have the body of a retired astronaut".

That rings a bell...any idea when he said that?

Sorry man, I can't. It's a shame I would love to listen to the full show again.

He is OK. Much better than Vos, but still just OK.

Don't worry, This is just his sixteenth fat.
