It's perfectly fine to play off of not funny. That's been the basis to countless TV shows and movies. What you can't play off of is a fragile little ego who can't take the slightest of ribbings.

Seriously, listening to that one Otto appearance where he said "Ant's gone for one day and this is what you talk about" completely turned me on Opie. It was overtly a joke, it was a funny joke (they were talking about The View for fuck's sake) and Opie acted like Otto just took a giant shit in his dinner plate.

This, Good reference.

This. Jimmy could be hilarious but he chooses the 'be nice and smile role.' Laughing at unfunny jokes and never calling anyone out. Yuck. It's odd because that's all he did concerning other radio shows/comics/anything unfunny.

Fuck Jim. He lied.

Yeah, Jim isn't an innocent victim here by any stretch. He can be just as sensitive (unfriending Colin on Twitter). I think he works with what he's got right now, which ain't much. All could be forgiven if he worked with Ant though. Ant and Jim have chemistry, something Op and Jim do not.

I've been out of this shit show since before Ant was fired (Can't afford subscription). what happened between Colin and the show?

I think Jimmy was trying to put a TV show together and tried to call in some favors with his comedy friends and most of them didn't come through for him, so in an act of rebellion he unfollowed everyone on Twitter(except for Patrice and Ozzy). Colin came in studio and called him out on it.

I like Jimmy, but when that happened I couldn't like him as much as I used to anymore. Colin completely nailed it when he said it was a high school teenage girl thing to do, and Jimmy hemmed and hawed trying to justify it, but there was no justifying it, Jimmy was just being a girl about it.

This was a while ago (a year or more probably). Jimmy got mad that Colin (and several other people) didn't retweet his post about a special or something like that, can't remember what it was. But he then threw a tantrum and unfollowed a bunch of people because of it and pouted.

Jim can have little menopausal episodes like that at times, but he's not in nearly the same ballpark as Greggshells as far as taking jokes at his expense.

no, I didn't mean to insinuate that they were even in the same ballpark. I was just saying that he has his moments.

Yea, everything about this clip is sad. The story is awful. All of the members of the show are defeated. Paycheck can't even get a back and forth rapport going because tits has an ultra fragile ego. They're walking on eggshells over every curse word in fear of the puritanical language witch hunt. Time to blow up the gig jimmy, the rotting corpse of the old show has become unbearably stinky. This ain't goin nowhere.

hearing old clips where Anthony cracks Jimmy up are so sad. Can you imagine going from laughing your ass off for 4 hours a day to whatever is happening now. I would have done the same thing Jimmy did, no question, but it would totally suck.

It's like when Pinkman had to work for the nazis.

e: striking similarities, to be honest: every day Opie chains Jim to the ceiling for four hours so they can make knockoff product, Jim daydreams about happier times trying to fight off nightmares of Opie headshotting Ant, and one day, hopefully, Jimmy will escape the gates with tears in his eyes.

This is the PERFECT metaphor for whats happened. Out of all the hatred,cynicism and negativity thats come outta this subreddit, this is the best comparison of it yet. If we could find a collage of images of dissapointed, defeated jimmy put side by side with pinkman lookin sad and thinkin about his old partner together, this would be a worthy replacement of the photographic evidence of the alleged kike killer derosa at his meeting in the woods as the sidebar pic. It would epitomize the dreadful, rape like experience that is the soon to be cancelled O and J show.

Jimmy moving onto TACS full time would be the best for all parties involved.

Probably not Jimmy's wallet

As long as he has enough for whores and his deviances, Jimmy doesn't care about the money. Ask him after working alone with Opie for 8 months, he'll tell you so!

If he did not care about money he would have defended Ant on twitter, last Summer, rather than clamming up, and sucking up a raise.

Spare us the fucking propaganda Stalin.

No you're wrong, Jim doesn't care about anything except making the fans laugh with his best friend and soul mate, Anthony Cumia.

I know he's a wacky tranny lovin' character on the show, but everybody cares about money.

Jim has to buy whatever BMW Dana White told him "rode the best", and etc. I don't blame him for wanting money. I just think that takes away a bit of that whole "honesty" thing he jerked off to so much throughout the years.

Regardless of whether Tits cramps Jimmy creatively (he does), they have a relationship off air and it would have been a much bigger fuck you to Opie for Jim to leave the show for Ant than it is a fuck you to Ant for Jim not to quit his job and join TACS.

Yea, I heard Jimmy say the same thing on the podcast from the guy from Hatebreed. The point is, the show is suppose to be a big league satellite radio show where the hosts get paid lots of money. It isn't your office where the fun guy in the office gets fired and you show up everyday and it's not as fun. It's a radio show that is suppose to be entertaining. Instead of excuses & explanation, Jimmy & Opie need to figure it the fuck out. And that may involve actual work & effort

Ant was offering the same money upfront as Jimmy gets from SXM. Even if TACS failed, the money was still guaranteed. Jimmy turned it down and decided to do a shitty show with the corporate secure company.

Did Ant actually say that? I haven't heard all the TACS episodes.

I'm holding out to see what Jim does next contract signing. If he sticks with the paycheck then I'm going to have a lot less sympathy for him.

Didn't they resign back in October?

Jim should go off the De Rosa/ Kindler "how to make in Hollywood as a comic" script.

Because it did not work for them, and it will not work for your greasy fucking ass.

We want back the "go fuck your mother Jimmy"

The " I kinda understand...." Jimmy is unfunny and fucking pandering.

I love you Jim, but that shitty Spiderman movie that they remade because of you was the pinnacle of your career.

Give it up, you will not be Louie, no matter how much of a socialist you become.

I've said it from day one, Jimmy stuck with SXM because it would still afford him the opportunity to meet celebrities. Period. Everything else he could have gotten with Ant. I'm disappointed by this, but of the three people at O&A Jimmy is the one LEAST responsible for this fucking mess.

You can't go off but funny, unless you pull a Ronnie B.

He made his own bed. His stand up proves he's only funny if he's around another funny person, and clearly job security is more important to him than doing something worthwhile. Him and Opie deserve each other.

I have no idea. I didn't mean to imply that, I'm just saying that his "career" would have been better off in general if he didn't stay on the show.

no, I didn't mean to insinuate that they were even in the same ballpark. I was just saying that he has his moments.
