Anthony is done. Period.

48  2016-01-08 by brianpeckahs

I've wanted Anthony to win this whole time. I've wanted Jim to join his show, Ron to maybe eventually join, Jim's comic friends to bridge over more, etc.

As a source of decent comedy, Anthony is now done. He was only ever really funny when he had spontaneous people (good comics) to banter with. We just saw that well dry up. He even said he was relieved not to go to the benefit because he knew people would be looking at him funny.

If you have no outward social life and are trapped in your mansion with a bunch of non-funny, uneducated racists, you get dull. Anthony will continue to fall to the level of his friends (which is lowered by the day it seems). It'll be Dice impressions and racist rants from here on out, boys.

Hate to break it to you.. but all of the casual listeners felt this way back in 2014.

It started for me in 2013 but then just became insufferable in 2014. I had to tap out then. Period.

Thats the bit!

Why are you still on their reddit?

Are you kidding? The downfall is the best part!

It's the ending we've been waiting for

It's only just beginning

Up voted to eternity.

Can't upvote this enough.

He was down but not out at that point. The hope for new alliances and resurgence sustained. Not until this though. Now it's gone. Ant'll be singing karaoke to a bunch of seamen on a Navy freighter in no time flat.

The Trayvon trial and everything that followed led to this.

No shit aside, but between his Fox News induced paranoia of Obama before he even did anything, and the real anger, and animosity he displayed during the Zimmerman case.

Did we really need an hour on that every day?

Snap another pic with Carlton to show you like black people.

Thanks Obama. Ant really started the political BS around '08 and by '12 it was really starting to hurt the show, those hour-long rants were brutal.

The thing is, between 08 and 12 they could still pull in great comics -- some of Louis Ck's best shows were 08-09 -- and Patrice was an obvious and strong counterbalance. Which actually made the show pretty strong and interesting.

I started listening to them when they started on XM and literally one week before Ant got fired I finally said fuck it I can't take this anymore and decided instead of bitching about it I'll just not listen as he had so eloquently suggested on the show so many times.

I couldn't even stay away for a week before being drug back in by his adorable antics.

I have the same story. I tapped out and went to podcasts at about the same time.

Day after day of the "apology clock" bit. Fuck, we get it already guys. It was so repetitive and boring.

I think it was Obama running for president the first time when I clearly and viscerally noticed his racism. Even though at that time he was still hiding behind that piss poor "It's not racist, it's racial" fucking line.

Yeah I meant the daily updates on race and that stuff. Trayvon was daily for months. I'd rather have heard the daily management bitching than the update to the Trayvon trial.

Totally agree

Yeah, you're the type of dolt that wants to hear Opie talk sports and child-rearing. Anthony was the voice of the masses that is not heard, you're the minority of blinded idiots that think Travon was a chowl, jus buyin' him sum skittles, mmm hhmm. Go watch The View, you faggot.

I thought Patrice invented that line?

He may have invented it, but Anthony beat it to fucking death thinking it applied to him, when in fact he is just straight up fucking racist.

[deleted]

Well, he did only get elected because he was black.

McCain didn't do himself any favors by choosing Palin.

Yea, but there's no reason to be be obsessed about it. When the whites become the minority, they too will elect other whites because they're white.

No, because whites voted for him too because he was black. Unless you don't think white guilt exists, at which point I'd say youre a moron.

The blacks will also pity vote for the white guy when the tables are turned. Or they'll kill all the whites. Whichever works.

[deleted]

By the time that happens whites will have been bred out. The only whites still around will be isolated racist hillbillys.

Good

You think if nig.. blacks were the majority and took over, they would still have a working government? You are really a fucking idiot.

BTW, latinos will be the majority.

Not only would they have a government, but they would ass rape whites for enslaving them.

No, they would be too busy booty clappin' with their large muscular asses.

Love it. Saving it for my future records. Please share more good news.

You're a dumbass white nationalist. You're fighting a losing battle. History is a series of ups and downs for people. It's the start of the downturn for whitey. And you're going crazy inside because you can't deal with the truth.

[deleted]

Lame. Post more stats on dead whitey.

Bet you'll find this funny too..

During slavery, white male plantation owners, their sons, brothers and other male acquaintances raped Black women without fear of punishment. Their reasons ranged from lascivious desire to acts of punishment. Black men were also sexually abused by slaveholders, and, sometimes, their wives.

During slavery, Black men would often be killed if they were accused of rape. However, when accused of attempted rape, they were often punished with castration.

haha stupid slave nigger http://d39ya49a1fwv14.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/slave-collar.jpg

Why did you delete your post? Nevermind, already saved.

Thanks for exposing the ways of the white devil. This will be used in the future extermination of whitey.

and not a Republican. It's like how Ant supporters aren't self-aware enough to see that their opinions are in the minority.

Yeah, basically I was just saying it was the catalyst or spring board to which our little scamp thrust himself into this downward spiral.

This is Reddit, populated with 90% SJWs, Obama felators and apologists. Do you think they would admit the truth?

[deleted]

Ronnie saw this shit coming.

I bet you're right, that was a smart fucking play

I wonder what % of seriousness he actually had about teaming up with Ant? 10%? More?

He was in it for the free meal

Yep i hate to agree as well. Ant was one of the quickest and funniest people around but now he looks like a sad old man.

Ant worked so well in that situation because he played this ultra-cool kinda disinterested role where nothing really bothered him and he just had to navigate through Opie landmines and get the funny out of Jim. It all came from a place of relaxation though. That's gone now. Can't see comedy coming from racist paranoia and peptic ulcers. (Unless you're Doug Stanhope maybe).

Well now that we have your confirmation...

I guess I can start my day. That was a tense 6 hours.

Who doesnt love a good 2 hour long rant about black crime statistics or the second amendment? Oh thats right, the audience.

[Nervous chuckling intensifies]

HAHAHA I DON'T NERVOUSLY CHUCKLE!!!

What depresses me is that I've come to realise that Ant really is a piece of shit.

I don't even care that he beat that cunt Dani (who cares) but all this new evidence of his ACTUAL racism and paedophilia has come to light.

He stalks 12-year-olds on the internet and throws the word 'nigger' around like it's nothing. He's been caught in the act with this shit.

He's lost the battle. Opie and Jimmy has been great this week, with guys like Vos, Bobby, Soder and Pete Davidson in studio.

It's a shame, cuz Ant is a funny fucker

Finding out he had bobos sister over to the house hurts bad. If that's true then he really is despicable

backstory pls

Danny intimated that he had a pic:

[–]DannyFromTheShow[S] 9 points 1 day ago
How about a picture of Bobo's sister in Ant's pool. Huh? What?!

Opie and Jimmy has been great this week, with guys like Vos, Bobby, Soder and Pete Davidson in studio.

Even with all that Making a Murderer talk they really did have good week.

Although I unsubscribed after about 3 months, I hoped Anthony could pull this off and some day get Jim. But you're right. He's finished. No one is gonna want anything to do with him from here on out. Vinnie Brand can do a lot more for a comic's career than Ant can.

What are you taking about he's got Keith to banter with

Oh no, he has racists at his mansion? That got my blood boiling. Someone should tell him that's not ok.

I think it's the whole a beating mentally ill, infantile woman at his mansion.

Also, it's not like his racism is confined to his home. Remember Twitter is public. Face it, you cannot call black people niggers and savages without black people feeling weird around you. It's just social etiquette that Anthony is a complete failure at. Stop blaming political correctness.

If a black person ranted constantly about how shitty white people are (in a serious manner, not jokey), would you want to be around them? Would you invite them to your mostly white charity event celebrating a dead white comic? Get over yourself.

To be fair, I don't ever recall him saying blacks in general are savages. He also said the 9/11 attacks were done by savages.... But who cares about that race I guess...

Dani is stupid spoiled brat everything she's ever written has pointed to such. You don't need to exaggerate her asperger's as full blown retardation.

They are both white trash and were probably stoned off their asses and went at each other as those types are prone to doing. If the camera footage ever gets released I'd bet Ant probably hit her, she hit back he went into a rage pushed her into the wall and onto the floor and while her hand was down stomped on it.

I don't have twitter didn't know he was calling out black people as niggers. Never saw screencaps posted here of such anyways.

If the dead person was friends with the ranting person and also racist maybe, seemed like it was fine till this week.

Hey hey hey. Take it easy man. Ant does a great Vince McMahon impression too.

Thats what happens when your confort zone is in a cesspool.

Patrice brought out the best in everyone. Even opie (remember opie invented the slave girl bit. Kept pushing for it to happen and it became one of the best things ever). Jim, louie, Bill burr, everyone has got gradually less funny since patrice died. My theory is he was the one causing everyone to up their game. Fuck. This is all just so sad right now

Sound theory. Being around Patrice kept people on their toes.

Yeah the effect was immediate, Jimmy grew bitter, Anthonys racist shit just become even more cringey

i still think jimmy is funny as hell. dont get me wrong. the problem is the environment he's in is just so tame now. id love him to do a show where he was the host and vos and fat bobby (duuude) were co hosts. itd be no holds barred, ragging on each other constantly.... just like the good old days. nobody scared to say a thing because sensitive opie is in the room.. throw colin quinn in the mix every now and then and thatd be a bonus.

now thats a show i would pay subscription for.

I'll never understand this "winning" thing. They're just two guys that used to work together. Now they're not. Listen to one or the other. Listen to both. Listen to neither. There are plenty of options available out there.

I think people need to boil things down to that kind of simplicity to contextualize it for themselves. They don't like not knowing how to feel about something, so when there's no obvious conclusion to be drawn they force it into a simplistic winner/loser good guy/bad guy story-line that's more definite and understandable to them.

I at least didn't necessarily mean winning as in a zero sum game scenario with Opie. I mostly just mean winning out in general and rebounding from the firing in an objectively successful way. I guess some elements such as "winning Jimmy" add a bit of a competitive element to it, but I'm not directly referring to winning in relation to anything else.

Just like Nicholson in "About Schmidt"...people & comedy are moving on. His boxes of files will be soon sitting out by the dumpster.

Ant is going to age very, very fast.

someone please make a photoshop with his mugshot on that movie cover - 'About Shit'

Crazy talk.

Guess what Opie AND Anthony have been done for awhile.

BRING ON THE BONFIRE BABY! crackle crackle

ANT!! STOP USING TWITTER!!! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!!!

Keith really fucked this one up. Hired all the wrong people, focused on all the wrong shit, ignored important glaring issues. Just a general fucking flop.

Actually Ant's fault for hiring a former cop with zero producing experience. Keith is terrible but he should have never been given the position.

That's really it. Anthony had a window of opportunity after his firing and he fucked it up due in large part to the fact he had a guy with zero radio/podcast experience experience producing his show. The other stupid thing was putting behind paywall meant that casual fans were unlikely to listen and new fans were totally out of the question.

Very salient point. If he had offered the first few months of TACS for free he could have done some real damage... but instead he was so focused on proving that he didn't need to machine that he turned into one.

there's no winner between those 3 or on this subreddit

It's funny, because it was only a few months ago that he was riding the wave of LoS, the new studio, and torpid sloth shirts...and now he's bottomed out in less than a month.

It's odd, in early December he seemed to be in decent shape after having rough 2015 (people turning on him for the infomercial, his week long denial of bombing at the Big Jay roast, boring shows after getting the NYC studio). You had the Jimmy/Opie blowout on Dec 1st, he had good pretty good guests, and the network was getting ready to add it's 5th show. Then his penchant for fucking unstable young women, his alcoholism and racism ruined everything for him (again).

He will still go strong, acting like he is a hillbilly who never met decent black people.

Los will not resign, it will be Big Jays call.

I still enjoy Ant's show, I think its good. I always thought his political and racial rants worked better on O&A because Jimmy would often challenge him. It made for a real honest conversation.

Since 2014 I've said the only chance of me ever listening to him again is if he can manage to get hired by another company, be it tv, radio, or whatever. I was never sure what the odds of that happening were, but theyve since become pretty clear that theres no chance in hell.

That's actually a big part of it. As long as he's his own boss, he will continue to wallow.

If Anthony wants to make it, he should just end his show and concentrate on building the network. Advise the other shows without getting too involved...an occasional guest spot does no harm, but stop being such an exhibitionist and the center of attention. Recognize good potential talent (Zac Amico) and work on the technical end to make the platform stronger and more stable. A name change would probably help as well. Ant in many ways is a really smart guy, but just can't get out of his own way...he needs to step down and at least try to salvage some dignity.

Completely agree. Not sure why you're getting downvoted.

So racists can't have a sense of humor? I really do like your point but I'm still holding out hope that Ant unfucks his situation because I couldn't give less than a fuck if Los leaves or one of the other guys, but it almost fills me with anxiety thinking that he may have ended Any chance of Jimmy joining him in October! But October is still a long way away so hopefully Ant can straighten out his personal issues, pay that ugly fucking rainbow headed Muskie chub that he's been dating to drop everything & get the fuck out of his life & then make amends with his real friends.

When there was no actual "victim" except himself there might have been a chance. Do you see Jimmy joining a show where Vinnie Brands daughter claims she was brutalized? No. Not ever

ya Nick Dip was awful on monday with him. :-/ lets take it down 1 notch at least.

Wrong.

Tom Leykis is doing a podcast behind a paywall.

Everyone gave him shit, said it should be free.

A funny thing happened after a few years - he built an audience and he's making money.

If Ant can keep the costs down, I think he has that potential too. Most of the shows on his network are worth paying for.

yeah, but is Tom going to Patrice's benefit?

Who?

I can't believe Tom Leykis still exists. I haven't thought about that crazy misogynist in ten years.

The only thing Leykis needs to do his podcast is a microphone. He doesn't rent a Manhattan apartment or pay a staff or pay for other content. Compared to Anthony, Tom's subscription income is all profit.

Yep. He's even done a few shows live using the WiFi hotspot on his phone to broadcast on the internet. (It's not a podcast, it's a live call-in show, so doing it remotely is a little trickier.)

Have O&A fans always been such faggots or is it just a reddit thing?

What is he done at?

He has his own network which continues to grow. He's still getting guests and comedians on his show. His show is closer to what OnA was than the OnJ show.

Pretty much the only thing done I can see is the relationship between Anthony and Burr.

The number of shows offered has grown, but have the total subs? What % of people are actually renewing? Unless you have proof behind the statement just sounds like a sad wish on your part for your fading hero.

Well I can only speak for myself, and I baled this week. Simply because his 1 man show is stale and uninteresting!

The main part of my post was that he's done being genuinely funny. He will not be able to sustain the elements needed for him to be funny. I'd say he's also done growing his career in any way. We'll start seeing people fly off the network when their contracts are up. It's no longer a rational career move to associate with him. He has no pull, a limited audience, and a lot of enemies.

You don't know what his pull or audience is and the same goes for O&J , none of us do for sure. And as for enemies it's opie, progressive comedians, bill burr and some hack from new jersey that failed as a father worse than he did as a comedian.

[deleted]

A progressive network?

First, unlike what satelite turned into it's completely censor free. Second, I care about being entertained. As far as that goes I'm very entertained by the shows on the network. It keeps getting better. I can't wait for ESD's show. Plus they've already stated they're looking to add more to the lineup. That sounds like "progress" to me.

[deleted]

That's the truth.

I don't bang kids, beat women, spew racial slurs, get fired for it, or spend every waking hour thinking about the man. I am very much superior to him.

hawks03 gunning for the lead in the a-sycophant-tosses-Ant's-salad contest.

[deleted]

So when Anthony is sitting in a cell and Brother Joe is pilfering his mansion, will you ballwashers still say Anthony's life is better than everybody else?

"At least he spent 20 years on the radio, what have you losers done with your life? Keep jerking off in your mom's trailer."

I can't feel sorry for Ant, because for the past 8 years he's been ranting about pulling yourself up by your bootstraps and how he would never let a woman or a nigger take him down. He manifested his own paranoid delusions and ruined his own life over it. I'm actually enjoying his downfall only because of how vitriolic he has been towards people who have problems in their life. If he's not funny anymore, then fuck him. That's the attitude he taught us.

If he thinks he's innocent, then I wonder how he feels about the police arresting him? Remember the police only arrest real criminal scum, and if you find yourself in the system you probably belong there no matter what you did. Remember that, Ant?
