TACS from NYC

I have to admit ive been critical these past couple months of TACS for good reason. That being said Ant killed it today and im optimistic for the show going forward. Good job Ant keep it up

Getting out of the house can only do him good. He cut his italian grandmother hair, looked professional and didn't drink.

The NYC skyline set was awful though and having that audience gives it an uncomfortably PFG feel.

I don't really get the appeal of the live audience. I hope they keep that to a minimum

someone mentioned in the tacsdiscussion live thread that the live audience gave them a sort of pressure to make things funny instead of a rant, and i agree with that. Without the audience we could slip back into angry story reading and i dont want to watch that.

Yes but that audience looks like a group of late 30s would-be school shooters that didn't have the balls to go through with their grand plan. Makes me sad to look at.

Isn't that the same demo as this subreddit?

At least we have the sense to never reveal ourselves above the surface.

At least not until I carry out operation high school payback.

Yes but that audience looks like a group of late 30s would-be school shooters that didn't have the balls to go through with their grand plan. Makes me sad to look at.

You mean like the bleachers at the XM studios?

edit: I still agree though.

Who were you expecting?

I'm a good looking fellow and I love Anthony so I guess I had higher hopes.

To see other good looking guys?

This is a good point. It definitely feels too public accessy but him having random fans in front of his face gives him incentive to be funny and would make it very awkward to go off on long hateful racial tangents. It could save his career.

Having an audience cheering on a race rant would make it more of a rally than a show, I think.

Completely agree with this. I never even thought of that angle, good shout.

It worked and it didn't work but of both

It was fucking great. Colin drops a bomb and it just cuts to a shot of the crowd's disgust, causing Nick to burst out laughing.

I never liked it on the o&a show either but we wouldnt have bobo with out it.

Which strengthens the argument for no live audience.

YOU TAKE THAT BACK, BOBO'S AWESOME.

... In what fucking world?

That is really PFG!!!

I hate the live audience, makes the comics play to the dumb crowd who will laugh at anything, instead of their peers

It was great. Funny as hell. Old time Anthony.

I have a feeling one of the big problems was getting him out of his fucking house. Now he will be able to look out the window and see actual black people.

Oh, I don't think he would want that

Wow the most positive comments I've ever seen on this subreddit, holy fuck. So surprised every person isn't wishing him to die slowly from cancer.

Proof that it's not just blind hatred here.

Feels like r/tacsdiscussion here

It definitely is blind hatred, but this is making me second guess it...possibly

It's not hatred at all. It's tough love.

It's a simple rubric. We like him when he does good things. We don't like him when he does bad things.

I've been "all-in" with the Ant-hate as much as anyone these past few weeks - because he's deserved it.

But, if we can't admit when he actually has a good show, we're just as delusional as TACSdiscussion has been for the past few months.

I thought it was great, looking forward to Ron being on tomorrow.

His previous show from comic con with Billy West and Tom Kenny was good too. The keys to Ant's success seem to be:

  1. Long Island "guinea trash" being out of his element (SiriusXM highrise, comic con, NYC studio).

  2. Multiple funny guests with strong presences, at least one of whom he has some kind of history with (Billy West is a fan and that probably helped Tom Kenny get comfortable quickly).

  3. A live studio audience to feed off of and help him gauge how entertaining the show is and avoid self indulgence.

  4. Avoiding longwinded preachy monologues/discussions about race and politics. For example, Trump was discussed the last two shows, but it was all in fun with no agenda.

  5. Avoiding awkward/boring staring-into-the-camera stuff.

  6. Avoiding cheap stunts and eye candy guests.

I like whores.

Eh, do ya need em in your talk shows? I certainly wouldn't want Anthony in any of my porn. Unless of course it was an interracial underage cuckold situation where Dani rode Sherrod's piece as he slowly lowered himself into Anthony's Sirius chair. Then I'd definitely want hideous Anthony there.

Do you think dani has the strength to ride anyone?

Oof. There has been plenty of good shows in the past that involved them, there just needs to be some funny people in the studio. Patrice and Jimmy often made whore appearances hilarious.

Justine Joli with Jim Jefferies is my favorite

No audience. Audience O&A shows are unlistenable.

1-5 totally valid. Stunts like bobo and cheap whores are amusing

WHERES THIS SJW CONSPIRACY NOW HUH?!

Haha that was the worst excuse for criticizm, it seems like people only wanted a decent show, weird.

Im still gonna give it a month or so before I think about re subbing.

Do you really have to wish it? He's almost 60. Pretty sure it's inevitable.

Of course he did. Reinvigorated with new studio, Colin and Nick in studio, live crowd. Anyone expecting this 1st day to flop was just retarded. The real test is how it is humming along in a few months. I won't re-sub until then. If the show does a 180 and isn't boring anymore and stuff, I'll gladly resubscribe and happily so.

Gladly and happily? Take it easy, man!

If they keep having shows like that on a regular basis then i'll be happy.

BOO! Not enough race and cop talk.

Has Anthony sold out?

Let's go, gang!

I rather enjoyed it and await the next show with moderate eagerness.

Well Ron Bennington tomorrow if that helps

Nice. Ronnie B in studio!

I'm sure it'll be at least pretty good. But I think if Sam came along too it would be another great hangout episode.

It was fucking great. Ant has to keep this shit up. He should definitely get gavin as at least a once a week regular if he can.

Ya it was cool when Nick said he will be listening to Gavin's next show

Ive been very critical of TACS and most of the shows in the last few months have been beyond boring and lazy. But i gotta be honest todays show was really impressive. Great guests, good energy, not too heavy on the politics. Ronnie b will be in tomorrow. Hopefully ant can get a solid comedian guest in studio for at least a couple shows per week.

I thought you cancelled?

I think a lot of people didn't.

I did, canceling your subscription just stops it from auto-renewing at the end of the month. You can still use the site until the end of whatever period you payed for.

Im not getting my hopes up too much. If after a while good guests are still coming in regularly and ant isnt obsessing over race or political shit ill probably give it another chance. Hopefully theyre able to maintain decent guest booking for more than a couple weeks

yes that was before LoS and Gavin joined the network. When they joined i decided to resubscribe for those shows. Before today I havent watched a full TACS episode in like a month. I really want to like the show and support ant because im such a huge o&a fan, but he's gotta put more effort into show prep for this to be successful.

Maybe you did but through your selective choice of words you seem to have given the impression that you enlarge the truth so your posts have a meatier filling. Just saying but Senator I think your credit just ran out.

Haven't listened yet...was it like the Florentine episode a week or so ago? One of my favorite TACS episodes to date.

i feel like people are brainwashed here, do we not remember ants first month, it was pretty good. this is just a new shiny toy that will soon become dull and boring just like the last one.

do we not remember ants first month, it was pretty good.

Everyone is saying that now, but I remember TACS being pretty shitty right from the get-go. The Mike Brown incident happened pretty much simultaneously with the launch, which didn't help.

well i never had a sub but it seemed like people enjoyed it and the guests were good, i did see the free bobby kelly one and it was pretty good.

Then maybe don't comment on the quality.

What happens to us in the future? Do we become assholes or something?

Looks like the pendulum is swinging back the other way.

I hope he can get Jimmy in ASAP, if he can keep making it like Nopie shows with Ant and Jim then he'll do well I think. In my opinion, almost every great bit has come from Ant, Jim and the comics, so as long as he can get them all on the show as much as possible I'll resubscribe.

Shit was great

It's pretty simple. Stay away from the race/politics rants and the show will be kick ass. He did that today....i just doubt he can keep it up.

Anthony did a funny show? Wow. That's really impressive from a guy who happily charges a Netflix tariff and does commercials. And after only a year!

I seem to remember when the basement show started hearing pretty much exactly the same shit from you idiots. Such a funny, funny guy. Great show. So much potential. This is gonna be great! It lasted at least a month, probably more. But of course, this is completely different and he's a brand new man, right? He got a haircut and changed his clothes. He's not going to fall face-first back into old habits or anything. That would be so unlike him.

You fatuous rubes. Give it 2 weeks before he is back to his old, bitter, drunk race-ranting best. How do any of you even survive in the world being this fucking obtuse?

You're unpopular, sir, but you have a point

Look, I take no joy in hurting you bastards. Well OK, I take great joy in it... but be serious: do you think he's changed in what, a week? A 54-year-old trainwreck of man in the final stages of alcoholism, bitterer and more hateful than ever, completely unable to control even his smallest impulses. He got a new hairdo and changed clothes and had Colin Quinn on. Jesus. He's the same awful bag of shit in a slightly different bag.

Sometimes I worry about you kids.

That's embarrassing to read even by your standards.

Would you mind sharing your age and social status? Just for shits and giggles.

Half glass empty anyone?

green skies.

Right now there's a rope tied to a ceiling beam exerting a heroic level of stamina.

I'm curious to see how long Anthony makes that drive before he goes fuck it and returns to broadcasting out of his basement for most of the shows.

Has there been any indication on what his weekly schedule will look like? How many days he will be broadcasting from the city?

all of them. same schedule as before but at the studio now.

Did fantastic today - kudos to him.

And surprisingly, the audience was NOT wearing white hoods as I expected.

He and Jim both made solo references to The Shining on their shows this week, like the two long-lost lovers that they are.

Antjimmina

FEZ IS BACK!!

I don't see how it was any different than the show from his house. It wasn't any better or worse except that maybe its more polished now, but I could take or leave polished. I like the show either way.

He looked like an adult at least. Have to say even the hair was a not bad for once.

AND NO DANI!

I started listening to him on the radio so i could give two fucks whether he combs his hair or wears a suit jacket.

If this turns into the old O&A hang like this first episode suggests then this show could be great.

It was a Scorch-like intro but the rest was great.

What's wrong with a Scorch intro?

Where am I? Who are you people?

Really? Should...should I resubscribe?

No.

If you did a knee-jerk unsub, why not do a knee-jerk resub?

yes

Should I re subscribe?

Because of one show? No.

Only if you in case you decide to cancel you make a post telling us all that you're doing it and why!!!!

yes

Hopefully Ant will bring another energy into his NYC shows and keep the racist shit at the compound. But I think it will spill over. Ant if you are reading this, use the NYC studio as a no political show zone. Maybe a little but don't go all in like you do with the compound show. We fucking stood by you during these years so do us a solid.

Ohh shit. Positive comments about the first NYC show. The tide is turning for ol' Cumia already.

Im gonna keep hating him.

This is like the time Louis xvi tried to flee Paris only to be captured and the French Revolutionaries almost gave him another shot before the Jacobins finally put their foot down and sent him off to the guillotine.

Lets hope Ant doesn't try to pay a toll with money his face is on.

I love Jacobins

Anyone wanna buy me a subscription? And internet? And a pc? And an xbox1? And a hooker?

The Pirate Bay has some shows up for a steal.

u/anthonycumiashow, comment?

Just starting the show now since these positive comments leave me no choice but to check it out since it looks like it will be a enjoyable show. Besides, never a bad anything with Colin.

I don't post a lot and I don't agree with everything on this sub, but I appreciate that most of yall don't blindly defend our favorite radio personalities and yall don't blindly bash them either. To me, it forces me to respect the ideas of this sub and gives it some form of credibility since you will see everyone get called out for their bullshit, but also give credit when a entertaining show is put out there.

Respect yall!

Ant has been keeping a clean Twitter lately.

Yep I noticed that too. Ever since he puked that thread up and posted those kitty pics his tweets have been a lot better.

link?

I haven't heard it yet, but maybe he needs to get out of the compound in order to get away from his whole siege mentality?

Hince the post..fucking genius

"Hence" you dipshit.

Pretty sure it's hince.

I like that you doubled down on it without even googling.... your a good egg

*You're... Double downs cocksucka!

Haha nice

*Googleing

Nope, it's hence. Like henceforth. And I don't know why I'm being downvoted for agreeing with you can't spell hencing idiots. If redundancy were an issue in the sub the whole place would explode.

You're a little mouthy for a 13 year old named snake.

This whole thing was downvoted...ive been drinking mispelled some shit...lets call it even

*I've

*Misspelled

*Let's

*Grammar

Why did you delete it I was just fucking with you LOL

*lol

Exactly

I think I did it on accident..im pretty drunk. I replied to it

*Hinceforth

[deleted]

Fuck ... now I need to re-subscribe.

Not really.

[deleted]

[deleted]

so you really really want him to subscribe then, COOL

yeah do it

[deleted]

Did I think today's show was bad?

NoooooOOOOooooOooooooooOOoooooo

Ok...so maybe he had a good show. Even the KKK has a good meeting every one in a while, doesnt mean hes not a complete RACIST and an admitted pedophile and a misogynist and fucking doxxed half of America's minorities. If anyone liked this...did you forget what we hated this piece of shit for in the first place, you think he's not going to be offensive soon enough? If any of you stop reporting him on twitter you might as well be fucking James Earl Ray. He is toxic to minorities, and you know it.

gawker cuck

We get it. He's racist. Oops, I mean RACIST.

oh boo hoo

I want the Opester!!!!!!!!

The Titster !

I felt it was too much like Scorch. Good luck to 'im tho

you're an idiot

How can you be TOO MUCH like Scorch?!!?! Can you be TOO RICH? Get TOO MUCH pussy????!

nooooooooooooo

"Hence" you dipshit.

Because of one show? No.

Then maybe don't comment on the quality.
