We aren't a bunch of 12 year old youtube commenters calling him a "nigger faggot Jew" or anything like that. But we are aware that members of the show browse this subreddit and we want to make sure our feedback is getting through.

IF you have something negative to say, you need to include your first and last name, address, a recent pay stub and social security number. Then you won't be a coward.
87 Mr_Brightside23 2015-04-16
He's so concerned with using "real names". As he sits in a room with a 55 year old man named "Opie", who trashes everyone and everything, every morning.
43 DuckSpeaker_ 2015-04-16
He doesn't know what he's actually saying.
Like every other opinion Jim has he's just parroting something he has heard other people say.
Anonymity on the internet is a relevant topic right now, so he just babbles on about it, repeating things he has heard before, with ignorance like any other time he thinks he's making a point.
I just listened to an old show where Jimmy berates Mars because Mars was trying to get one of their god forsaken phone issues to be replicated. Jimmy went on about how stupid it is to try and "replicate an error". No Jimmy you're the stupid one, because that's the best way to diagnose an engineering problem.
He's so fucking closed minded but jerks himself off about how open minded he thinks he is.
The man desperately wants to sounds like some kind of paragon of thought rather than sticking to comedy and improving.

I'm rapidly losing interest in Jim as a fan, to be honest. Cowards? Dude - you made a fucking career out of doing what the old fans are doing right now.
I'm kind of done with him. I tried to listen to the Rogan show, but it's Pontificating Jimmy. I can't take it, there's nothing entertaining or insightful about it. You're not Carlin, dude, you don't have this amazing insight into people, you're a shut in. Both you and Joe should just be grateful you've made pretty good fucking money for being idiots in front of a microphone, and stop lecturing people and calling them cowards.
Colin was right, you're your own worst enemy.

1 mynameisnotpeter 2015-04-16
I don't have a problem with pontificating within their scope of experience. If Jim Norton pontificates about kinky sex, I'd be interested in his opinion. Or about comedy.
Some comedians are able to expand their scope, but it is very rare, and doing so is an art form in itself because lecturing is so rarely tolerable. That's why Hicks and Carlin are considered a step above.
It takes a broad perspective and very little ego to pull off, so if you launch into via a personal gripe against something, it'll come off sounding bad.

27 Zenaesthetic 2015-04-16
The whole calling someone a coward because we're using internet aliases is such a fucking cop out. Welcome to the internet Jim, you fucking dinosaur. "Hiding behind a fake name" doesn't invalidate our criticism of the show. It's always these old assholes who never grew up with the internet that complain about how trolls should all be arrested or something for anonymously talking shit on the internet. It's pants on head retarded, especially as a comic who notoriously should have the thickest skin of them all. What, you can deal with a drunk dickhead heckling you in a comedy club, but some assholes on the internet is too much? Give me a fucking break, that argument holds zero weight and is a 100% cop out.
17 Hummingbird_Pate 2015-04-16
It's more cowardly to never criticize your boss/co-host, even when he is overwhelmingly retarded at every basic human function.
Maybe he has a point. If I saw Opie in real life I wouldn't call him out or anything. I'd probably just see his face, get real mad, and just try to pretend it didn't exist and get away from it.
3 mynameisnotpeter 2015-04-16
I think the whole "don't criticize" thing coming from any of these guys is just hypocrisy. I'm not a huge fan of the radio show, but I have listened to multiple shows of them taking guests just to humiliate them, being extremely rude to callers, trashing radio shows/musicians/artists they don't like, trashing political figures in a personal way, all of it.
If you build a career on being a public asshole, don't be surprised when some of the shit bounces back.
By the way getting mad at anonymity just makes you sound like an old man. Not a good look.

15 BeerCanThick 2015-04-16
What is the motivation for wanting to know the names of people who criticize you? We all know what it is. It is for him to punish us with it by naming us on an international radio show and siccing his mutant fanboys on us. Its all about retaliation. He can't really fuck with "BeerCanThick" the way he could if he knew my real name. He'd do every slimy thing he bashes people for in retaliation if the comments were extreme enough, like contacting school administrators and employers. Fuck that. You want my real name, tell me why. We know why he wants it, I just want to know the phony reason he'd give just to have a nice laugh at it.

Jim Norton is arguably more successful now than ever before. Between his vice show, making reoccurring appearances on Amy Schumer and Louis CK's shows, and getting published in Time, he's kind of outgrown the message board O&A fans that lose their shit every three seconds.

He doesn't make "reoccuring" (ie recurring) appearances on Louie's show; he was on it once and he had one or two lines. A few years ago he was a recurring character on Lucky Louie, which hasn't been on TV in almost a decade.
0 IanCurtisJackson 2015-04-16
Check the imdb, he was on several episodes. The fact of the matter is, the least important fanbase for relevancy is the retard O&A fans yelling at each other on message boards.
1 thermitepaaint 2015-04-16
9 appearances on Louie, with small parts. 3 appearances on Inside Amy Schumer. seeing as how close he is to both these more successful comedians, you would think he would have bigger roles on their shows.
1 beleca 2015-04-16
I stopped watching after the 3rd season. And in those three the only appearance was in a hallway during the Dane Cockgobbler episode where he had like a line that served no purpose besides giving Jimmy a line

If you think Opie sucks, the only manly thing to do is either get a phone call through the screeners, or find Opie on the street and tell him to his face, or come into the studio and tell him in person. Otherwise you are a total coward.

9 xxmikekxx 2015-04-16
It's the 1 thing that Jimmy has yet to address. The quality of the show he is doing now with Opie.
I heard him on Rogan & Bertcast today. It's what I want him asked point blank and I have yet to.
He has frequently said Anthony is brilliant. We've all heard how hard Anthony has made him laugh. And Anthony was fired. And he won't acknowledge a decline in quality? How would he feel if he was a listener?
He has gotta know that the show is in its "cousin oliver" years. Or is he too detached? Is he at all conscious of the show they are putting out or is it just this weird ritual of "I go in, talk for 3 hours & get a paycheck"?
1 Hamburglarharry 2015-04-16
I dunno. As Jimmy was saying, validly criticizing some specific things that make the show worse would probably be welcomed. To simply say "this show that I work on every day sucks" is something a self-respecting person would really only say AFTER either he left/was fired or the show was taken off the air.
9 BeerCanThick 2015-04-16
I'd like to call him using my "real" name but the goddamn phones have been on lockdown since Jerry gave Opie a good verbal trashing.
Isn't a big portion of their show taking calls from "Chuck" and "Snowy in Michigan?" I'm sure those are real names. Hell, Chuck is probably some 10th rate Larry the Cable Guy "Prep-Burger For the SHOCK JOCKS!!!(tm)" zero.

Jim is a child as far as his philosophy about people saying how they feel. He doesn't understand that his occupation demands it and for everyone else it hurts their occupation. I hate when he's ranting about political correctness and he'll get mad at a white ESPN anchor for saying "the n word" instead of nigger. He doesn't understand something that basic, how's he going to understand why people have to use anonymity to say certain things? His conception about what people are allowed to say is literally childlike because he's never had a real job.
And besides that, it's not like we're on Stormfront. There's no reason to post our identities here and it's not because we're criticizing Opie. There's just no reason to share our names to each other.

9 beleca 2015-04-16
I guess im in the minority because I never really thought Jim was that funny, I just listened for Ant and I always thought Jim was just saying things that were sort of "naughty" or deviant and I never really saw the humor in it. There's nothing inherently funny or shocking about a tranny whore shitting on your chest, but I guess there are some people who are so shocked or thrown off by that kinda shit that they laugh; im not one of those people. But I was always sort of indifferent to him.
I never really actively disliked him until i heard him "arguing" with some guy, and when he started going "Awwww! Poor baby!" In this annoying whiny baby voice, not once, not twice, but literally a dozen or more times, in an argument that really didn't need to get personal and could've gone various other intellectual routes without resorting to baby talk, and then I realized: I dont respect him as a comic performer because I find his jokes crass and boring and predictable, and I don't particularly like him as a personality, because hes so quick to resort to childish whining, so he doesnt really offer me anything as a performer.
And I've noticed that in the old shows you hear Jim laugh at Ant's jokes all the time, but I have never, and I mean literally never, heard a genuine laugh from Ant at one of Jim's lines; I've heard laughs, yes, but theyre always fake, forced laughs, and you can tell the difference between them and when Ant genuinely laughs at other shit.
And even those of you who consider yourselves fans, you have to admit "aww poor baby" shit is really, really tiresome and annoying. I mean, I get that comics generally are really flawed people and tend to have something wrong deep down inside of them, but when I heard his "poor baby" bullshit he was just irrevocably moved to my bad side. Im pretty sure it's from the segment that's on YouTube as "Bitter Anonymous Radio Failure". Listen to that and tell me where that's acceptable behavior for an adult male.
That, plus his "recovering alcoholic" shit made me not like him. I don't believe he was ever really an addict in any meaningful sense. I am and most of my long term friends are, but I've also known people who get into AA young despite never being half as bad as real alcoholics, and then play it up the rest of theur lives for cynical personal reasons, to come off as a victim or a "dark, troubled soul". I've been around tons of addicts and I dont buy it. But that's just icing on the cake. Disingenuousness is the least grating of his faults for me.
1 jimcozad 2015-04-16
Ohhh I like this post up votes for you.
8 TakesTheWrongSideGuy 2015-04-16
I don't think Jim said he's against criticism from the fans it just needs to be constructive which alot of what goes on around here isn't. You don't get someone to listen by saying "Hey cunt the show sucks now...". Why in the fuck would anyone listen to that? He's just going to delete the email, or tweet and move on. Also alot you like to pretend you know more of what's happening behind the scenes with the show than you really do.
I think Jimmy encouraged fans to email criticisms to him but act like a fucking adult when you do it and I doubt he'll give a shit about the anonymity. It's when you act like assholes behind fake names people get annoyed.
9 Blurgette 2015-04-16
There has been plenty of reasonable, useful, objective criticism of Opie here. Do lots of people say crazy mean things? Of course. But that's just the nature of the Internet, and the nature of fucking Opie and Anthony fans.

Well, people probably tried acting "like a fucking adult". But that didn't go through and look what happened. That guy Jerry who called in back in September took your advice, and Mr. Big Shot (the Sloth) called him a loser who doesn't make the amount of money he did.
1 TakesTheWrongSideGuy 2015-04-16
Knowing these fans I highly doubt that and just because Jimmy didn't take your advice doesn't mean he didn't consider it. You sound like a bunch of children that didn't get their way.
And that guy jerry is a jackass who wanted nothing but attention. It was obvious. The way he got on air and then he immediately came to reddit and announced to everyone that he was indeed the caller.
Jim is not some unreasonable asshole but I assume that he is tired of being yelled at by people on the Internet under anonymous names who have no clue about anything they're talking about. Which is about 85% of this sub. Jimmy brought up a decent point. Anthony is fine with Jimmy and their relationship yet people still attack Jimmy and his 'loyalty'. This sub is absolutely insane.

It's called mischaracterizing and Opie and Jim have been doing it to the fans since the firing.

Anonymity is a sign of integrity and courage if it is a group of guys in a church basement telling each other how much they need god to stop them from drinking or a hooker calling herself "Caramel" instead of whatever name is on her birth certificate because she doesn't want her 2 year old daughter to grow up hearing stories about her mommy being a whore. People on the internet using a fake name to criticize something? That's cowardly!
"Dude, you know it's not the same thing! You just know it! Stop it. That's just silly. It's embarrassing!"

Are you really this un-self-aware, or is this some kind of retarded false flag operation to make Opie seem like he's being unfairly picked on?

Yeah most hosts let all the people who want to shit on them on the air.
All people do is send Opie's Tits and Greggshells over and over to them, that shit was funny and sometimes still is, but the show has been going for 9 months now and I think it's getting old... I'm sure for them it's been old for awhile.
At this point it's time to move on if you find it unlistenable. I did so with Stern last year, finally reached my breaking point on kitten talk and AGT banter, so I stopped listening to it. He just wants you to either try and tell them what they can do to make it better, or leave.

This sub just wants to be mad. It's a hate machine that will consume everything it can until it flames out.
1 bigmattson 2015-04-16
Yeah he was fine, and he wasn't even defending Opie so much as sounding like he feels sympathetic towards him. But on this sub if you don't say "Fuck Opie" you're saying "Opie is the best radio host ever"
4 Vargas_Larson 2015-04-16
I think the problem is that for every four completely valid/on-target comments about Opie's obvious shortcomings, there are roughly another three comments along the lines of "FUCK GREGG AND HIS SLOTH-TITS, HIS WIFE GARGLES BAM'S CUM EVERY NIGHT AND HIS KIDS AREN'T HIS!!" etc.
That's the nature of the internet of course, but when there are threads calling for Opie's painful death/suicide and whatnot, it's easier to write this sub off as a bunch of slack-jawed mongoloids. That's not at all a defense of Shelly, I'm just sayin.'
2 jamesfromdelaware 2015-04-16
It is the nature of the internet, yes. It's also the nature of their fan base. 'The Pests' as they call them. They've encouraged this type of behavior for 20 years and now it's coming back to bite them in the ass and they cry like babies. And when I say they I mean bitch tits cuckold opie, "the destroyer".
1 Vargas_Larson 2015-04-16
Completely agreed, he deserves zero sympathy for suffering the wrath of a golem he helped summon to life. But by the same token, it's not like any of the Jocktober DJs responded to the pests' gang-raping by offering a point-by-point rebuttal to their criticism, like a lot of people (myself included) wish Jimmy would do.
1 nolasen 2015-04-16
Yep. And note that those are the posts they will categorize as all of reddit. It just gives them an easy out to deflect and enable denial. They will never address a legit point. Closest was Norton explaining (only half way) "greggshells" and that was only because Anthony pointed it out.
1 ONAFan2014 2015-04-16
All true. But when Torpid Sloth constantly bitches out even someone who acts like an adult, that reasonable method doesn't work and you might as well give him what he wants.
4 AJDynamite 2015-04-16
However, I did appreciate him acknowledging criticism about how his material doesn't hold up b/c it's too topical and how he always makes a lame tranny reference
1 dankfranklin 2015-04-16
Is there a timestamp for this? I've never heard him acknowledge the topical thing, I'd like to hear it.

You know that can't be done. Hell most of the haters torrent the show and complain about a free product. Those who paid cancel their subscription long ago if the had a problem with Opie.
2 FresnoJefferson 2015-04-16
Haven't seen his Rogan appearance. But okay, we're cowards, but did he explain why Opie ISN'T a untalented hack? How did he defend Opie?

It's just Jimmy as usual only calling out the low hanging fruit. He'll go after fans, callers, interns but he's too neurotic to speak truth to power, so he's twiddled his thumbs as the show has collapsed around him the last 9 months.
2 xBrianSmithx 2015-04-16

2 Produceher 2015-04-16
By baffoon, I assume you are talking about Anthony. Because the radio we all loved is very different because he went on an angry racist twitter rant. How is that Opie's fault and how could he have kept the show together seeing that this is all his fault?
1 JohnQNo1 2015-04-16
i assumed he meant a really strong oon.
1 jamesfromdelaware 2015-04-16
His angry racist rants were a huge part of the radio we all loved. Just as much as Opies complete lack of talent was part of the radio we all loved.
0 actofgod22 2015-04-16
You should look up the definition of racist, because nothing in that rant was racist.
2 Produceher 2015-04-16
And the rest of my point? The guy got himself fired. Whether or not you or I think he should have, Anthony should have known better. And it certainly wasn't Opie's fault.
1 chris2webby 2015-04-16
well since the first part of your point was wrong (the racist part), then the rest of your point must be wrong too
1 Produceher 2015-04-16
So I guess your lack of punctuation means your point is invalid as well.
1 chris2webby 2015-04-16
that doesn't even make sense
1 jamesfromdelaware 2015-04-16
Anthony is a huge racist though. That's why we love him. Because everyone is a fucking racist, he's at least honest about it even if he's saying some very ignorant shit. You know he's not hateful. He's just innocent old man racist.
1 ONAFan2014 2015-04-16
I've never noticed a hateful bone in Ant's body. What are all these assholes talking about? For real. Most of the stuff he says is often in the comedic sense as far as I hear it.
2 _TheConsumer_ 2015-04-16
Norton's argument is illogical. Websites like Rotten Tomatoes and major news publications offer scathing reviews - by named people. Letting the public know your name will not stop negative opinions/comments.
It may stop the nonsensical jabs at a particular someone's mammaries, or someone else's spine-ectomy, but it definitely will not curb pointed criticism.
2 Pongkong 2015-04-16
when did he call people cowards for bashing opie?
2 dochattan 2015-04-16
Jim is a douche, I'm shocked it's taken people this long to realize. He's a mildly funny average comedian with cliche, safe opinions about every topic raised.
2 hajonious 2015-04-16
It's funny cause a lot of your guys comments are about as creative as nigger faggot jew. You guys are a bunch of twelve year olds freaking out cause your show got cancelled. How are you any different from a 12 year old crying cause their mom took away minecraft for bad grades?

1 bigmattson 2015-04-16
No you're cowards because anytime Jim or Sam or anyone show related says something other than "Fuck Opie" you guys turn it into them just being the bad guy. And yes, none of us are accountable because we are anonymous what we say doesn't matter.
If you don't get his point that he shouldn't be expected to cuss out Opie and shit all over his show you are the exact type of person he AND JOE we're talking about.
I hate how this subreddit just waits and prays that someone O&J related will suck their dicks and shit all over Opie, it's not going to happen.
2 ONAFan2014 2015-04-16
We've tried everything. Remember the caller Jerry back in 2014. He tried your advice, and the Torpid Sloth walked all over him. Well, he made his bed, now he's gotta sleep in it.

1 NorCalMisfit 2015-04-16
I found it amusing when Jimmy said on the JRE he needed to connect with people and stop thinking in characters all the time. What I took away from that comment was he realizes he needs to focus on his career, because vocal or not, he acknowledges the O&J show has a limited shelf life and his radio gig is coming to an end.
1 chris2webby 2015-04-16
I'm about sick and tired of Jimmy
1 Tremendousdread 2015-04-16
Ok yes he did say some people are cowards. But he also said SOME, and that others give him feedback and criticism that he can use.
He clarified to say that he was speaking of the trolls that just say " your show sucks you cunt" and doesn't give reasons or what they want.
He may have misspoke a little but I see what he meant in this instance anyway. It is a ally argument tho if he uses that as a blanke statement

If negative feedback and criticism is worthless w/o a real name then so should positive feedback and praise w/o a real name should be as well. So the next time a caller mentions how funny Jim is, is he going to respond with "What the fuck do YOU know? You're just another asshole calling into a radio show."
0 FresnoJefferson 2015-04-16
The reason I'd ever listen to O&J and pay for a SXM sub is for Jimmy and his comedian friends, the ONLY reason in spite of Opie's existence. So just b/c I want maximum enjoyment in the entertainment and more bang for my buck I pay with my hard earned money for and put a certain amount time of the day Mon-Fri to listen, that automatically disqualifies me from criticizing Opie? That's like saying "Well you participated in the electoral system by voting, and since you participated you still shouldn't be angry for not having your choice for President b/c you participated in a system knowing there a chance your choice wasn't going to win. Just b/c you didn't get what you want doesn't mean you're entitled to feel pissed."

So let me get this straight- When the "pests" are posting on facebook pages of other radio shows with way more brutality then what Opie and Jimmy get (Terry Clifford for example),it is howlingly funny (I've that evil Norton laugh many times) and those "fake names" are great listeners,adding amazing content to the show. The minute a small portion of your listeners turn on you and Opie for basic hypocrisy, those pests are cowards and you get sanctimonious and defensive?!

He doesn't know what he's actually saying.
Like every other opinion Jim has he's just parroting something he has heard other people say.
Anonymity on the internet is a relevant topic right now, so he just babbles on about it, repeating things he has heard before, with ignorance like any other time he thinks he's making a point.
I just listened to an old show where Jimmy berates Mars because Mars was trying to get one of their god forsaken phone issues to be replicated. Jimmy went on about how stupid it is to try and "replicate an error". No Jimmy you're the stupid one, because that's the best way to diagnose an engineering problem.
He's so fucking closed minded but jerks himself off about how open minded he thinks he is.
The man desperately wants to sounds like some kind of paragon of thought rather than sticking to comedy and improving.
