Jim doesn't get enough retroactive hate: Burr vs. Norton
21 2014-11-20 by [deleted]
Listening to an old show from 2008 with Bill Burr in studio on the XM side and Jimmy is fucking insufferable. The date is December 4 2008. Tried to find it on youtube but couldn't find it, sorry.
EDIT: https://soundcloud.com/rayricepunch/2008-12-04-oa-cf64k
I included the rest of the XM side. It devolves into survivalist discussion. There's plenty of cringe moments in the entirety of the clip.
Anyways. Bill Burr and Anthony get into a discussion about the banks and Bill Burr brings up his usual spiel about the new world order. Jimmy barges in immediately with his pontificating nonsense about the future and citing Dr. Michio Kaku. He basically just regurgitates Kaku and Kurzweil stuff and acts like he's intelligent for doing so. Jim gets notably angry quick, over nothing. And Bill just laughs him off because he's being a lunatic. Jim took over the conversation and started nearly yelling into the mic about what he thinks the future will be. Then he accuses Bill of getting annoyed when Bill blew up his spot and called him out for taking the show into another direction. It's infuriating and it makes me want to wring Jimmy's neck. Retroactively at least.
I think it's also because he resents Bill for already being more successful than him at this time. And also for threatening Jimmy's third mic gig in 2005/2006 where Bill performed very well on the show as third mic and management at K-Rock wanted Jimmy gone. If you'll recall they had him miss Friday shows for awhile in favor of Burr or Patrice.
Jimmy is a jealous worm. I'm sure of it.
He doesn't get enough hate, even if he's gotten less annoying over the years. I think where I'm at in O&A's history, 2008, he's at his apex of annoyance. For months on end he's been going on about how much his iPhone sucks. And of course we've all discussed his predictable arguing tactics and arm-chair psychology - "baby boy" etc. There are more reasons why Jimmy should be hated, even retroactively, but if you've been listening long enough you already know them.
Anthony really was the consistently least aggravating to listen to.

Or how bout when Jim cried and unfollowed every comic from Twitter because they didn't retweet his upcoming special or w/e. Or when he got all butt hurt and passive aggressive at Chris Hardwick for not airing his nerdist appearance in time, which Chris admitted was an honest mistake and formally apologized (even on this very subreddit). Or the time Jim was mad at the NYPD even though he was being so fucking vague as to why he was upset with them that no one knew what the fuck he was even talking about. He ruined at least a good hour of radio that day being a total fucking woman and just pouting, yet not actually talking about what the fuck his actual problem with the cops was. Callers totally called his bullshit out on him and being emotional jimmy he just yelled at them and told them to stop listening then and continued being butt hurt. I love the little guy but he sure can act like a fucking 12 year old princess sometimes.

I wanna see the timeline of The Psychology of Jim Norton, Narrated by Colin Quinn. Colin's always been able to break down Jim's pretentiousness in its many forms. Throughout the years, Jim's tried to be so many different tyes of characters and we need a scholastic breakdown of why and how each one of these failed in a fireball of shame and embarassment.

This would be perfect. Colin nailed Jimmy during the twitter defriending thing. He would be so good at this.

I heard it on one of the YouTube Colin vs Jim vids. There are two but I don't remember which one. It was fairly early in the video though. Both are really good though because Colin is just trashing Jimmy.
1 TriangleDimes 2014-11-20
It was the very first segment of the second one. That whole Part 2 is classic; it includes the Norton Roast.

I also remember when he cries everytime Comedy Central announces a roast & he's not invited to perform. Or when the Oddball Tour was announced and he cried he was invited to perform.

I'm really interested in futurology and the like, but Jimmy's third grade level take on it is embarrassing. He needs to stick to his tranny AIDS shotgun crutches becase he sounds like a fool when he tries to discuss anything else.
13 MoosePuncher93 2014-11-20
"Pontificating Jimmy" is by far his worst character.

To be honest in a few instances in the past, I've despised Jimmy more than Opie.

Jimmy is infuriating at times. His oowing and awing during other people's back and forth is so annoying. It's like he does it because he thinks he could be more entertaining than what they are saying, so he is trying to show how bored he is.
Jimmy trying to be smart is also up there. His future talk is flat out dumb, and him getting proved wrong he just falls back on the "you could be right,dude, but I don't think so".
The most annoying and maddening thing Jimmy does, by far, I think, is when a caller gets the better of him and so he resorts to yelling and baby boying the caller. The best example of this is when Jim wouldn't go into detail what he was bitching about and a caller called him out to stop bitching so Jimmy tried calling the caller a girl. Jimmy was so bad Ant and Opie wouldn't even turn down the caller's mic, like Jimmy asked them to, so he started spitting like a douche.

Oh, man. The ooh-ing and aw-ing drive me fucking crazy.
3 packitchofsositch 2014-11-20
That's the only thing that's ever made me feel actual anger. I used to laugh at it when it was Danny vs Troy Quan or whatever, but now I see red whenever he does it. Aside from that he is a sweet boy and you're all as wrong as it gets.
2 shameofyou 2014-11-20
you realize that's the point though right? it's not about entertaining the audience, have you ever been witness to an argument and started laughing at a remark to have the person who was insulted immediately turn on you and want to rip your throat out more than the person they're arguing with? that's what ooh-ing and aw-ing does usually but since they are all professional talkers no one takes the bait besides the audience who have no way to attack jim in the moment.
1 really-wise_-things 2014-11-20
I agree with you.
6 WNEW 2014-11-20
That's really pathetic behavior for a man in his 40's.
3 fervt 2014-11-20

6 equinoxexistential 2014-11-20
Jim's nuances don't bother me. You guys want him to not even have weaknesses? He's fucking hilarious and the fact that he's obsessed with celebrities is hilarious. It's funny when he tries to talk science because everyone knows he's ignorant in that light. His affinity for KISS is funny because they suck. The fact that he truly believes he was an alcoholic and tries to play counselor is funny because he wasn't and everyone knows it. He's a little neurotic weirdo. You guys are persecuting him for the very things that make him funny.
9 kgt5003 2014-11-20
On Bill's most recent podcast he was talking about his recent interview with Joe Perry. Somebody emailed him asking about how cool it is to have someone you were the fan of as a kid now be a fan of you and how do you prepare for that sort of interview, etc. Bill said (paraphrasing) "The best thing you can do if you want other celebrities to like you/respect you is DO NOT ask them for a picture or an autograph! That is so tacky to do. Also if you interview them, DO NOT ask them about whatever they get asked about in a million other interviews a year. If you interview Joe Perry don't ask him about Steven Tyler and Love in an Elevator.. talk about other shit he is interested in so he acts like a real person." He basically, unintentionally, explained why Norton has not been a big success and Burr, Louis Ck, Jim Jefferies, etc, have surpassed him. They all treat other celebs like peers instead of acting like an obsessed fanboy.
4 TriangleDimes 2014-11-20
It's insane to me how this never occurred to him. People don't hate him within the industry, they just treat him as an outsider because he has spend years cultivating that awful reputation.
1 [deleted] 2014-11-20
I think Jimmy is hilarious. I can like someone and still accept their faults. It's hard not to get annoyed with all 3 of them sometimes if you've been listening long enough. And if you think the clip I posted where he's arguing with Bill is one of the reasons why he's funny then I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree on what's funny.
4 BottleOfAon 2014-11-20
Most annoying thing I've ever heard Jimmy say was when he was bashing all this models on the cover of some magazine, saying they all had horrible asses. Then he says, Jen Setler, she has the exact kind of ass I like. So douchey they way he decides like some medieval king that a genetic freak ass meets his standards, but none of the other models make the cut.

3 breadmoccasin 2014-11-20
Jimmy has made me laugh a lot, but he's also infuriated me. He comes to the dumbest conclusions on many things, and I've always thought it was to facilitate comedy, but it's probably always not the case. Fucking COWBOYS/YANKEES fan bitches about his teams not doing well? Hates "all athletes besides UFC fighters" because Derek Jeter, DEREK FUCKING JETER didn't wanna snap a photo with him? Never lived by a tree in his life and he thinks sport fishermen are scum? Fuck off.
13 [deleted] 2014-11-20
don't forget that any band that isn't Sabbath, KISS or Metallica sucks. Don't also forget his lunatic hyper-sensitivity with the twitter fiasco. I really loved Colin for dissecting Jimmy when that happened and making him look foolish.

1 Sentinel_Event 2014-11-20
Is that why there are so many instances of Louis CK as 3rd mic for the entire show from back then?
3 [deleted] 2014-11-20
There's really not a whole lot of those shows with Louis CK as third mic. There are way more shows with Patrice, Burr, Bobby and Vos as third mic. The 05-08 period anyways. I remember Jimmy talking about Tom Cheasano wanting Jimmy out in favor of either Patrice or Bill. He mentioned this last year I believe. Or maybe it was earlier this year.
3 Sentinel_Event 2014-11-20
I always thought mgmt.just hated him and wanted to save some $? They actually wanted to replace him, are there some clips of this story?
1 shimrra 2014-11-20
Bill Burr is a raising star, he's been on a couple hit tv/movies already. Maybe Jim doesn't want to ruin his contact with Bill in case an opportunity opens up in Hollywood.
1 slowcom 2014-11-20
I missed the first years of XM. I decided to start over and listen from day one with XM but I can't do it. Jimmy is unbelievably annoying! His fake anger and yelling into the mic about how things "STINK!".
Holy fuck!
1 lantech 2014-11-20
Oh, so now you guys hate him. I've said repeatedly here that Jimmy's an attention whore and gotten downvoted to oblivion.

I don't hate him, just think he deserves some of the hatred that gets passed around. I've disliked parts of Jimmy for years, same with Opie and Ant. How can you be a regular listener and not find something annoying about all 3 of them?

1 danimalplanimal 2014-11-20

1 BobMugabe35 2014-11-20
Jimmy can be a huge cunt but I personally don't consider him "worse than" Opie because Jim will fully admit it and sometimes even make fun of it. Opie will deny and delude himself into believing he's not an obnoxious twat, Yimmy will acknowledge it pretty regularly.
1 [deleted] 2014-11-20
No one said he's worse than Opie. Stop relating everything back to Opie.
1 BobMugabe35 2014-11-20
The entire board is "Opie hate" and this thread is about Norton not getting enough of it; I'm explaining why it appears he doesn't. It's a lot easier to let a self-described whiny dickhead get a pass.
1 [deleted] 2014-11-20
But he would never admit his faults when it comes to the sound clip I posted. He never does. He'll call himself a chinless zilch but he won't go after his own false sense of intellectual prowess when it comes to issues he knows little about.

6 kgt5003 2014-11-20
It's not really "new world order" shit so much as globalist bankers. Call them what you will. It is true that bankers manipulate currency and that the Fed Reserve prints money without gold backing it so it devalues the dollar. There isn't even any argument about that. It's also true that since the beginning of the global banking system bankers fund wars to profit on them. That's never been a secret either. Some people call the people doing this the "new world order." It's easier to just call them "bankers."

The point isn't about who's right or wrong. It's Jimmy's style of interjecting himself into this particular conversation. It was the way he did it. Both of them made stupid points and both made correct points. If you can't hear what I heard - which was Jimmy being a pontificating douche bag and getting indignant for no reason - then I don't know what to tell you.
-1 telepepper 2014-11-20
Hey, thanks for link. Good listen. Good ol days. However, i thought you OP were being original when you stated jim is regurgitating Kaku.. Except you, in fact regurgitated Anthonys view on it. I'm just sayin, no biggie. Yeah, Jimmy was a dousche. Cool post. BTW.. Opie chill he just said "You shoulda, you shoulda you shoulda you shoulda.. So everyone would shut up and listen. Got my opie hate trend in for the day.

1 [deleted] 2014-11-20
How is saying Jimmy is like Kaku an "Anthony" thing to say? When has Anthony ever said that? I'm genuinely interested in how you got that from my original post when all I did was make a simple observation on the segment of audio I posted. Jimmy even admitted he was retelling standard Kaku talking points. You can drop the passive aggression shit too, by the way. You obviously had an issue with my post.
-4 telepepper 2014-11-20
Dude if you actually listened to the whole thing, Anthony said those exact words to Jimmy. I didnt hear jimmy say he was refering to kaku. Listen to what you post baby boy
3 [deleted] 2014-11-20
Seems you're the one who needs to listen because Jimmy directly mentions Kaku several times. Also even if Anthony said that, it's a fraudulent comparison to compare me with Jimmy when it comes to regurgitating talking points from someone. One is a simple observation anyone can make (especially when it's 100% true and easily identifiable within the material) and one was in a discussion about complex matters well above the speaker's head. Seems you just really wanted to 'get' me on something because you strongly disagreed with my original post and opinions. Which is all you had to say. Didn't have to come at me like a woman about it. "Come correct" next time, stupid.

Why does it have to be so black and white with some of you? How come you can't make critical observations without it being assumed you must be on one side or the other? Some of you really have a myopic way at looking at things and it's just astonishing that few of you actually grasp nuance and the concept of liking someone while still accepting their faults.
