We're throwing punches at never-ending tide of horseshit. Here's my idea to turn things around.

Here's my idea: Let's turn all this negativity into sarcastic support. Let's call in and tell Opie how great the show is and how we really enjoy hearing his long un-funny stories that probably didn't happen. Tweet him about how great the new direction is and how we hope Ant doesn't come back and make the show funny again. The current approach obviously isn't effective - why not give sarcasm the ol' college try, gang?

The only problem with this is that Greggshells has autism. He can't detect sarcasm and would see it as actual support. He'd think the "haters" finally go tired and gave up and now people that really like the show were finally speaking up.

That sounds pretty funny to me. Would make it even better when he realizes everyone is fucking with him.

He probably wouldn't realize it, but I think that'd make it even better.

Autism? No shit. He has more autism than Dustin Hoffman flying Aeroflot.

Opie was mobbed up back in the day. You better be careful.

That's a little something I like to call "reverse psychology", you guys might not have heard of it...

I like this idea but I'd like to see it taken one step further. If everyone pulled together we could collectively sing Opie's praises and let them know how we love the changes...without sarcasm. Yes, we seriously root them on. We even make suggestions to make the show even better by making more similar changes that would further the trajectory they're already on.
Here's why:
I think we can all agree that the show we all loved is dead and isn't coming back. They'll never be the same, and there's nothing we can do to bring it back. So what can we do? My vision is to do everything in our power to use Opie's egotistical nature against him and encourage his hair brained ideas. After a few months of psychological warfare, the show would be unbelievably horrible to the point where it's actually entertaining. Imagine the nonsense Scorch puts out there that's so bad that it's funny in a sad pathetic way.
I think it would be hilarious to listen to some unfathomably horrendous bit punctuated by Opie's bomb shaped jokes and Jimmy's thinly veiled disgust. I can already hear Opie gloat after a dreadful segment followed up by calls from us where we herald him as a comedy and radio genius. Meanwhile they quietly become the laughing stock of the entire industry.

This guy GETS it! One part positive attitude + one part get-up-and-go = a winning recipe for success.

Love you, love the show

I like this.even if opie doesn't get it it would be funny and others will.I thought about trollin brother Joe till I gained his confidence only to turn around and say how awful he is.
2 WoopEmGangbangStyle 2014-11-03
I think people should call in and give Opie the silent treatment.

What the fuck is wrong with you people.

My life didn't turn out how I wanted and I have little or no power in any meaningful sense so I take out my frustrations on the performance of some middle aged men I've never met and wouldn't get along with if I did.
Also I have excema.

I don't know this seems pretty stupid, management really likes the direction of the new show.

It's not effective for what? What are you trying to achieve?

That's a little bit extreme, wouldn't you say?

How about this:
NO.

The same retards that hate Opie and make fun of him for coming to this sub and reading it are the same dipshits openly plotting against him for everyone to see. How dumb are some of you?
