I can't defend Jim Norton anymore. Fuck that guy
126 2016-01-20 by A_Faulty_Robot
He basically just doubled down on his Amy defense today and also didn't even mention the joke thieving accusations. Jim was the only thing keeping me listening to OnJ and with this bullshit he is just as bad as Opie and Ant. Norton is a spineless cum towel.
I hate all 3 of them equally at this point.

Listen to this clip of the time where Jimmy thought SNL stole Chip bits from him. He says how he would verbally attack someone for the rest of his career if they stole from him and says how it just a shitty thing to do and makes it clear what his stance about this sort of thing is.
This is why I have to agree with you. He has no spine at all. He'll happily attack someone who does something that he believes is wrong, but then he'll barely say a word about this because Amy might put him as a fucking DVD extra for her next film.
Jim's one of the funniest guys I've ever heard and the reason I stuck with the show and the reason I'll still listen sometimes. But, he really deserves the nickname Worm when it comes to stuff like this. If you believe in something so strongly to talk about it how he did in that clip, you can't just then excuse someone else doing the same thing just because you think they can help you out in the future or because she used to do the show once in a while a few years ago.

That's what he does. He takes bold ideological stances, and condemns other people when they transgress, and denies any nuance. When it's his turn to live up to his own principles, suddenly the situation is complex, and he's got his money to consider. He's a bald-headed pinworm, festering inside Opie's anus.

FINALLY made it to the front page of reddit. Opie goes VIRAL! Congratulations!
1 dauphinee 2016-01-20
Orrrr maybe he is sticking to his principals, saying what he really thinks about his friend, and doesnt give a shit what random people on reddit (who have no idea what theyre talking about) think. Is that possible?
1 Platos_one-hitter 2016-01-20
That is possible. My opinion is that he uses his 'anonymous' argument as a way of avoiding the issue. But I literally am just some asshole on Reddit, so you gotta take that for what its worth.

13 AssMcPlay 2016-01-20
I agree, he got me into OnA n that style of humor and early 2000s Norton was a unique force (not mainstream of course) However he completely sucks shit now. Hate how he takes himself and talks about himself in a serious manner (as if anyone really is that concerned) ex. his big time contract negotiations.. Also I dont expect him to be a liar and pretend to hate things and go on amazing rants... but he hates nothing anymore unless its like a stereotypical "liberal" thing to care about ex. animal rights (no hes not a liberal i know but why take a serious stance on issues, its like he forgot hes a comedian, he give serious advice.... He was one of THE BEST as calling out or pointing out phoniness but hes unbelievable. Angry Norton was amazing quick and powerful, I could listen to him bash something for hours.... RIP NORTON, I want to see an organized effort against him BC HE BROKE MY HEART

He'll never get bigger. His standup is mediocre and his acting is terrible. He's not going to do a Masters Of None or Louie type series. He's not talented enough and he's unlikable on camera. He only works as a 3rd banana type on a sitcom. Small doses. He's at his glass ceiling.
1 MeteorBlitzkieg 2016-01-20
I think he'll just decline as time goes on. That's why he's defending Schumer: she's a possible meal ticket. It's either that or drop the characters and go right into PG humor and hope that follows suit into a shitty sitcom.

3 Det_Sipowicz 2016-01-20
Me too. And the only iteration of Jimmy I can do is "stand up" Jimmy. I still love his stand up. Other than that, it seems these days the less I know about him the better. I don't listen to the show and if I hear there's a Nopie show I'll check it out just to get a semblance of the man I loved. But other than that I can't believe how much he's changed from the Norton that won me over as a lad.
-1 OpieRadioBot 2016-01-20
Remember when I was funny?
2 Det_Sipowicz 2016-01-20
He's still funny, but only about 1/4 of the time from what he used to. I'll take the 1/4, but god damn is it diminishing returns.
2 coach_styles 2016-01-20
I strongly believe it has a lot to do with the lack of Anthony. Those two used to go back and forth so naturally and so well. Now all he has is Tits...
2 Det_Sipowicz 2016-01-20
Absolutely.
0 ChippusMaximus 2016-01-20
His support for the LGBTQRSTUV community makes me lose him. It was funny at first to hear a guy say on the radio he accidentally a tranny prostitute once or twice but he really comes off like a SJW with his disguise falling off. I think he's a faggot and so is Blob Kelly but they just won't admit it.

2 Binski13 2016-01-20
This is not new
8 BJ-Cummaniac 2016-01-20
Jim has never criticized a fellow comic unless he didn't like that person.
Most comics are the same way. They have some bond as comedians that prevents them from attacking anyone who isn't universally seen as a joke thief hack.

3 jesterselv 2016-01-20
First off, I love your name. "Quit being a bitch and pill me up!"
2nd, I'm not following the Steve Martin reference. please explain.
1 nosoupforyou2116 2016-01-20
Jimmy wrote about Steve Martin in one of his books and basically shit all over his chest. I believe it was about Steve Martin's role as Jacques Clouseau in The Pink Panther remake.
1 -STIMUTAX- 2016-01-20
Jimmy ripped Steve Martin relentlessly over the Pink Panther. It was brutal. Of course years later Martin called Jimmy on the bashing and he caved and licked the guys boots. But that's theKid after all. I still love Jimmy, I just wish he would stop taking himself so seriously. Go ahead, be a hypocrite, just own it and be funny.
Plain and simple I loved O&A&J from the early day's precisely because they called out the hypocrites and the lazy thieves. Now they are just a grumpier shadow of themselves. Curmudgeons one and all.

1 BJ-Cummaniac 2016-01-20
Jimmy criticized Martin over specific bits and movies. He has taken on other comedians as well, but no one he is around nor tries to be friendly with. Bashing Martin was in. I don't think anyone considered a comedy genius when Jim attacked him.
5 chris2webby 2016-01-20
he keeps calling "anonymous" online people cowards, but he's the real coward. Too afraid to call Schumer out on this. Too afraid to call Ant out on his shit. Too afraid to really lay into Opie in the fight.
4 aaron91325 2016-01-20
Guys, Norton hasn't seen the video or seen Schumer perform because he doesn't watch other comics. You should know that by now!
2 ChippusMaximus 2016-01-20
Yeah he's such a purist.
3 Sippycupofpee 2016-01-20
But Jim thinks all this stuff only exists in these few threads, made by people hiding behind a fake name. I've never found the recovering junky turned judge Judy funny or entertaining.
3 tar_baby33 2016-01-20
In a sense I feel bad for Jimmy...while he is amazing on the radio his stand-up just isn't good. He's watched most of his cohorts (CK, Schumer, Burr, etc...) pass him and even the younger guys are reaching greater heights (Soder, Big Jay, etc...).
2 MuricaLite 2016-01-20
That has to be the frustrating part for him. He was around the very best comedians of his era, but he never quite made it.
Meanwhile he is a natural at radio. But the no holds barred format in which he thrived continues to wither because of the personal stupidity of O&A.
3 ThankGodForBeer 2016-01-20
Everyone from the O&A universe is just a piece of shit. The sooner we all realize this and embrace their shittiness the better.

He defends Amy when there is clear evidence that she is lying ugly fat pig. Who did the worst thing you can do in comedy? But Anthony doesn't get the benefit of the doubt. Fuck you Jim. And yes I know my username is unclepaul. Doesn't change how I feel about him these days.
3 unclepaul84 2016-01-20
He doesn't need to destroy Amy. Just point out that it was wrong and say she should apologize to the comedians. Put he is a self serving ungeniune worm so that won't happen.

2 _TheConsumer_ 2016-01-20
Jim will absolutely slink his way around this topic, the way he does with every other topic that hits too close to home.
When he's forced to finally confront the issue (and I'm imagining he will be forced to tomorrow) he'll give us keen insights on the perils of being a comedian.
He'll drone on about the following in some way, shape or form:
"Parallel thought" and how it's possible for two comedians to never meet, never see each other's sets and yet think exactly alike.
Emulating styles of other comedians, unintentionally.
How "there are a limited number of punchlines" for great jokes.
It is possible to "subconsciously" steal a joke and convince yourself that it is your own.

So, while Jimmy is supposed to condemn Amy Shumer for being shitty to a kid, he's supposed to show unqualified support for Anthony in the wake of serious criminal charges involving an alleged beating of a young woman whom Jimmy has know all her life and whose father is also a close friend. Yes, that is a healthy perspective for sure.
