Opie gets too much hate. His 'role' on the show has ALWAYS been 'idiot'. Always.

Been listening to older shows with Ant. Ant and Jimmy kill and, honestly, I think it's always been Opie's 'bit' to be the moronic frat boy saying obvious/ oblivious things that Ant would correct as if talking to a 3 year old. It sets up Ant and Jimmy lots of the time.

You act like it's a scripted thing like Abbot and Costello. It's not. It's not a bit. He's unfunny and acts like he's the driving force behind a comedic show, while pimping out his horseshit videos. Hard to take a sympathetic angle without doing it purely to be a contrarian.

Also, Fez isn't acting like a whiny retard as a bit either. Santa isn't real. All dogs don't go to heaven.

The dog thing got to me....

if this isn't a troll post it is adorably insulting to Opie.

It's hard to believe someone who stammers constantly and not getting jokes, has been in a comedic radio career for so long

Right. It's all a bit.

Nothing bad Opie has ever said or done has been on purpose. Not one piece of audio or video that could be linked to here would mean anything because every word out of Opie's mouth and every action of his has been him contributing to one giant bit.

You explained very clearly why he should get all the hate. "He was always a moronic frat boy saying obvious/oblivious things."

He's a hack. And now he doesn't have the safety net and we just get to watch him hit the circus floor every day and mock him as he stands up, shrieking "LOL THANKS HATERS" through a shattered jaw.

Trust me when I tell you that it's not.

That may be the case, but that doesn't then in turn exempt him from getting shit on. Whether he is doing it intentionally or unintentionally is inconsequential to how he presents himself and the end result, i.e. getting shit on by the listeners.

Well he's not in on it. And if that's the case, a co-host would be nice. Moron.

I concur, Dr. 10below.
