I LOVE this letter that Andrew Dice Clay wrote to Opie a few years ago...

28  2015-02-15 by [deleted]

Dear Opie,

Sorry to hear that you've failed again and that the world found out what I already knew. I've told you time and time again, there's a big difference between "filthy" and "funny". There's a big difference between poking fun at somebody and kicking somebody when they're down, which has seemed to be your M.O. I warned you that this would happen.

In a way it's laughable because let's face it- nobody gets silenced from XM once they're hired. They wouldn't can a juggler, a mime- they wouldn't fire a porn star, because at least what they do is poetic and honest. I mean, you really have to be disgusting to be singled out as you have now been. I wouldn't feel bad about it. I would take this time off (which I'm sure you'll have plenty of) to maybe come up with an original concept and find yourself and try to present the country with something original. Be original, don't emulate or try to be what you never can or will be- which is me.

Opie, it's very sad when someone like you hates themselves so much that they take their own true persona and throw it in the garbage when trying to be someone else. I told you a long time ago, DON'T TRY TO BE HOWARD. DON'T TRY TO BE DICE. BE THE BEST OPIE YOU CAN BE from Wyoming or wherever you're from originally. Put on the overalls, grab a pitchfork, and chew tobacco. You see, right there I came up with something that's original and fits you. So, instead of just Opie, how about "Hillbilly Opie" or "Huckleberry Opie". Yeah! That sounds like a great idea. You could go back to XM and say you have a concept for a one hour radio show- "Square Dancing With Opie." Look, I haven't even had time to think about this and look how fast I came up with something. The advertisement could be you at a pig roast playing a banjo on some hay.

All I'm really trying to say is that I feel very bad about this because it could have been avoided if you weren't bent on being Howard Stern. Howard Stern became Howard Stern because it's who he is, he wasn't making believe he was something else. He's a true original. So here we are again- maybe you got a little crazy. Maybe the fact that you couldn't get me to help build your show left you with your back against the wall and you would just try anything. But, whenever you do something haphazardly, it usually fails. I hate to say this again but you have done this repeatedly.

I really wish there was some kind of rehab for people who have lost their edge. Where people like you and Chevy Chase could sit together, reminisce about what it was like to be funny, maybe widdle some wood, and take long walks on a path to nowhere (which is where you've always been going, even when the smoke clears you'll still be on a path to nowhere). It seems that's how it's always been for you. It's who you are. I really wish I could help in some way, but YOU did this to YOU. Remember that. YOU did this to YOU. YOU did this to Greg "Opie" Hughes.

-ANDREW DICE CLAY

P.S. SAY HI TO ANTHONY FOR ME. HE STILL DOES THE BEST DICE IMPRESSON IN THE BUSINESS, TOO BAD HE'LL HAVE NOWHERE TO DO IT THANKS TO YOU.

Joe DeRosa raped and murdered a Jewish woman on January 23rd, 1999

Wow, he actually has done something funny.

While this is true I sadly don't see the relevance

Obviously I missed something to do with Joe and jews. Please someone take pity on me and fill me in honestly.

2  oafangirl 2015-02-15

joe said he couldn't back anthony in the firing because he was worried about what his black friends would think. so everyone is annoyed with him and actively trying to get him in dutch by bringing up all of the ignorant, offensive, and non-PC things joe "has" said and done. the irony will be just grand when all this hard work pays off.

jews seem to be the easiest target, because of joe's own ethnicity; however he seems to be guilty of hate and venom toward many, many other groups, not just the jewish.

1  TiffanyTheTittyQueen 2015-02-15

Oh, keep on fighting the good fight then, Joe seems like a spineless little shit.

I love that Dice was supposed to be this brutal comic where everyone's like "Watch out. You never know what this guy's gonna say next!" and then when he really gets angry and lashes out he's like "This guy's a farmer!" and then he smokes his cigarette in a silly manner and acts agitated.

Andrew Dice Clay And Andrew Silverstein are 2 different people.

14  thrillated 2015-02-15

Joe DeRosa has stated that he has a deep-seeded hatred for Andrew Dice Clay, not because of his comedy (Joe doesn't know what that is) but because of his choice of religion.

I love this stupid meme.

This is another insane comparison by dice. Chevy Chase is a thousand times more relevant than Opie.

Thanks. I found it. It was in response to the homeless Charlie suspension.

Sorry but Dice might be the fakest person ever and is the last person who should be talking about anyone like this. Almost everything he says could be applied to him.

2  AngeloMacon 2015-02-15

You gotta give Dice credit on one thing. I can never tell how self aware he is. Is the whole rant doubling as a joke on himself or is delusional?

Where's the TL;DR on this. Also is this fan fiction or real? The only fan fiction I get is chip rolling.

He is telling you that TL DR means Too Long Didnt Read... You said you didn't know what it meant.

It's cool....I thought it at the time I typed it that my comment did not explain what I was talking about. I didn't know what it mean until a few weeks ago and searched for it. To me, it is stupid.....it is too long to read, yet they take the time to comment. And yours wasn't even that long a post.

Generally on longer posts, there is a TL;DR at the end that gives a very brief summary of what the post was about.
