Opie was good until 2011- ish. A lot of his worst qualities are a response the the criticism he gets online. The hate has become a self fulfilling prophecy. (None of this excuses him)
Legion of Skanks is great.
I'd gladly fuck Dani Golightly.
I like Sam and Danny Ross.
Political correctness aside, liberals are right about most stuff.
Nick Dip and Ant are retarded thinking all liberals in general want PC. The vast majority of this website is liberal and its a common theme that PC stinks. It's the far left wing that's super nutty.
OPIE was more INTOLERABLE early on. I didn't NOTICE it before, but I listened to "CLASSIC" "O&A" after SCORCH left and OPIE is the biggest RADIO hack EVER!!! He was CONCERNED with his "O&A ARMY" (STOLEN from SCORCH!!!) and having CURSE WORDS go through on REGULAR RADIO.
I've never heard Legion of Skanks, but aside from that I agree with every single point.
About the Patrice thing, he was often wrong when he fought people on shit. I remember when they had some scientist in and Patrice told him that science can't explain how a heart beats; then the guy explained exactly how a heart beats and Patrice responded by saying that scientists were going too far and fucking with God. The man was not a well of wisdom, but he was funny as fuck.
No way dude. He has always been bad. Everything he does or says is trying for a bit. He'll fuckin announce that it might be a bit. Listen back to the old shit, and he's relentlessly trying to make "good radio". He wears it on his sleeve and it makes me sick.
He got less bad for a while and got worse. Listen to something from 2005. Listen to something from pre Sex for Sam. He went through phases, and now he's hit rock bottom.
Agreed. Opie's best contributions were before the reddit era and the hate train. But also, even if he was the absolute black hole of comedy he's made out to be, is a great contrast to the hilarity of Jim and Ant. Sweet isn't as sweet without knowing sour.
He was also decent at keeping the energy up when directing to stories the other comedians or cohosts had. Keep in mind they would usually already have just talked about something over the break and they would have to go over it again. Also that the vibe of the show with the dynamic between the 3 was what made it fairly solid and feel like a hangout.
Agreed. As annoying as it is when he stopped a good bit, a lot of comics tend to talk for awhile when trying to figure out their point. Most podcast "hangouts" between comedians are exactly that, which is kind of meandering thoughts and jokes. That's great with your friends for 6 hours on a Sunday getting high, but not for a 3 hour radio show.
Take Patrice as an example. Any Patrice conversation is a bare minimum 30 minutes, and the amazing ones would go on for almost half the show. But getting him to move from random topic to random topic made it much better, be it sports, movies, politics. Same with Burr and the rest of them.
I think most of would actually agree, I just think he's the one guy that could be replaced by dozens of other competent radio guys while Ant or Jim were irreplaceable.
You don't need to the be the best manager in the world if it's the '27 Yanks, but it helps if you have someone competent.
Joe Derosa was a good guest. I thought he was funny and usually had a good story from the road or something about a girlfriend. He always had something.
He was never the funniest guy in the room but I thought he jelled well with the boys. He didn't take over the show when he was on like some others did, he just fit right in.
Despite it's comparatively tiny staff and the fact that one of the hosts was often incapable of performing his job due to mental illness, Ron and Fez, noon to three, was often much funnier
I completely missed the boat with Ron & Fez which bums me out since Ronnie seems like a really cool and funny guy. Any recommendations on where to start? I need a new toxic radio show to waste my time listening to
The Stangels are adding to the show at this point by being a source of conflict. People are actually willing to take shots at them and they take some shots back.
I could see him just chillin watching Netflix or some shit with his feet up on the board like he runs the show. Then as soon as Opie calls him he pretends he was working, he takes the insults and then goes back to doing nothing and getting paid. Erock really is a smooth ass dude.
I also THINK that OPIE in particular was trying to IMPRESS stupid SAM because OPIE sees HIMSELF in SAM!! Not like how SMART PEOPLE realize that they neither is FUNNY or ENJOYABLE to LISTEN to, but like he SERIOUSLY thinks SAM will have a great career like the OPSTER!!!
To Sam, Opie is just Scorch with a (barely) better gig. When they would bash Scorch, Sam would purposefully point out all of the flaws that he shares with Opie knowing that delusional idiot would never catch on. After all, Sam would never bash his mentor. He's been doing radio since he was 18.
I think a lot of people would agree with that. At first they got a lot of heat as "the stangels" because of how bad Justin was. But as you could tell them apart you knew Justin was the fat idiot with the worst stories and jokes but Eric was just a regular guy.
The Bonfire isn't as good most people make it seem to be. It's past 100 shows now and the most memorable things they've done is trashing Chet Hanks and starting a radio war with the golf channel. The clean christmas show was a good pallet cleanser they seemed to step it up a bit since then but before that it was just endless Big Jay stearing the conversation into sex.
I really really wanted to love The Bonfire. I stuck around for a while but I had to bail, mainly because of the callers and Dan and Jay's enthusiasm toward them. I skipped through an entire show once and every time I stopped it was some chick or idiot bro on the phone.
If you don't like the callers just listen to the begining and check if it's a live version. Half of them are prerecorded so you might like those more. Their vibe is generaly more positive then O&A and I don't mind that but they do need to learn how to just end a phonecall faster if it goes nowhere. I still have listend to every episode up until now and it's enjoyable but it is hardly ever great or amazing. Unlike LoS which can either be either really boring or absolutely halarious. There was an episode where they were pretty upset that comedy central suggested they should get a writer to write bits for them. It is kind of insulting but they do need to start doing some show prep to keep things interesting.
I think it's kind of natural. Like I said the Christmas episode was a good pallet cleanser. The main issue is that Jay just goes straight to sex. It's the same thing with his crowd work. It's very good but it could be better.
Well yeah but you could say that about pretty much everything about talk radio and podcasts. If I would want to hear right wing rants I could just visit my grandfather. He would actually apriciate me listening to him and he won't charge me money for it.
That I still like Opie and the show despite his crutches.
Also the show was always at its worst when humouring playmates or porn stars in studio. Unless Patrice was ridiculing them. I'd rather listen to daily Lady Di calls.
And Esther Ku is still an unfunny cunt no matter what shit she stirred.
Even when they had playmates/pornstars interacting with Bobo it wasn't that good, they always just ruined the energy. The only fun time I can remember with a naked chick is when one came in for Jimmy's birthday and Dice was there, but that's only because Dice was there.
Its funny how Jimmy was always pointing out that food on the air is boring because its only a treat for them, but didn't see how that logic carried over to naked ladies.
Ted Bundy's shirt joke came up a lot. I like the guy, I respect him for hustling as a kid in Times Square, but his act and side projects like the Pig Roast and the Telecrappies were duds.
I understood why no one said anything because it was right after he died but they were playing his appearance on Letterman or something, and he did a joke about "what if so and so was a character in Jaws" and the punchline was singing the song "suddenllyyyyy im half the maaann I used to beeee"
I agree with you on the last part, but I think that goes for any bit/character. They work when interacting with someone who can work work with them (Ant) and fall flat when interacting with someone who can't (Tits).
I know this is still controversial among a lot of listeners, but for the life of me I can't understand why. The man was an endless well of material, even when he was just rambling the way he did it was amazing. If Sam ever managed to put together a show centering around freaks and disasters with Bobo co-hosting I'd be listening every day.
me neither, but he is good at steering the ship actually. he's always the best with Jim's characters of anyone. and it's good to give that kind of pop news bullshit sometimes to Ant and Jim to feed off, and actually also know what he's talking about as a straight man. Vs. the Opie fly by night and get lucky strategy. He also knows when a break is going well and he won't stop it midway to go to any of those pop news stories like how Opie would.
I'm glad that the jerkoffs who tried to trash him failed. He's on Better Call Saul in a recurring role. All those assholes can shove the one star Amazon reviews up their dickholes.
1) Chip was mildly funny the first few thousand references and is now objectively annoying and awful.
2) Patrice overrated.
3) Derosa was a good guest
4) Ian Halperin used to be a great guest
I don't understand why Colin is held in such high regard. He's a smart and funny dude but he never said anything that amazed me. A lot of his jokes aren't funny but just 'hey wasn't that clever?' Even on tough crowd he bombed a lot, which worked because he's a funny guy, but the jokes themselves weren't very good.
The reason I think he resonated on the show is because he has a very different delivery and energy than the rest of the regulars. Most of the funny comics are loud, beat you over the head kind of funny guys. Collin was always kind of just lurking and his lines would almost slip by half the time the way he said them. That and the whole 'clever' thing makes him stand out among the rest of the comics.
I joined the "Colin Quinn is a god" train when he sparked the Lady Di internship week.
Chip isn't remotely funny. Opie catches hell for stopping the flow of a good run, but when Chip pipes up and brings things to an absolute halt, it's somehow hilarious.
His special Elephant in the room was saved by the editor. Seriously watch the uncut version. There's some pretty good crowd work in that but the majority of the show is all over the place with no sense of structure whatsoever.
I'm not talking about his stand up but the special as a whole. The structure of the show as a whole is a mess. It reminds me of Burr saying he never saw Patrice write something down. I like the elephant in the room special that is heavily edited but the unedited version(which he of course said id superior) is definitely worse. There is some crowd work in the unedited version that you won't get the nuances of but that's about it.
He was one of those guys whose stand up was getting better with time. He went from a guy who was great at crowd work and not much else to being pretty good overall at the end. The promise of him getting better was a big part of the tragedy.
Good comics make it seem like they're just making stuff up off the top of their head at times. I legit think Patrice riffed a whole set I saw once at Carolines. It was part crowd work, then he'd do a bit on whatever their response was. It was weirdly specific stuff and not just "are you married, sir?" then do 10 minutes on marriage stuff.
I like Kurt Metzger and think hes really funny. The reason why is the exact reason people hate on him here. If it bothers you that someone called you a friendless loser in your moms basement, you probably are a friendless loser in your moms basement,
I was talking more how people say hes just a ranting drugged up lunatic, like no shit. Thats why i listen to him.
But the Schumer shit as well, I dont fault people like Colin, Jimmy or Kurt. In all actuality their just being a good friend. I guarantee they all a feel a certain way about it, but are actually just being nice to someone whos been nice to them. Its no grand publicity scheme.
To me it was the nail in the coffin. You see Derosa was pretty good on the radio but his stand up was pretty mediocre. That b-sides CD that he brought out and people trashed definitely was bad. But Kurt isn't he's definitely fucking funny both on stage and on radio/podcasts. When people trashed him and posted their "he was never funny" it just showed the stupidity. It makes you look like a feminist cunt if you can't admit someone is funny just because you disagree with them.
Lots of people did as a way to discredit him more. It seems to be the patern after Derosa. Doing it with Kindler I think is fair because he stinks. Kurt is funny though so that approach fails.
It bothered me with how hack it is. I also think Kurt is funny and I generally like him, so to see him using that same 1996 "nerd in your mom's basement" joke was lame.
Not an opinion but more of a 'Emperor has no clothes' thing but there's no evidence that Ant had his guns confiscated. But everyone acts like this actually happened.
I'm like 99% sure of this. If i'm wrong then I retract my statement and go fuck myself.
I like Jimmy's stand up. Yeah a lot of the jokes are topical but I remember 2012 so I get the jokes. Good stand up doesn't have to be an hour of timeless observations to be funny.
The show was good right up until Anthony got fired. Sure it wasn't as good as 2007 but I still laughed a lot in 2014. I even enjoyed the apology clock bit.
Some of the staff members can be irritating. But friends of the show are all good. Amy Schumer especially. Here we are as a reddit just throwing her under the bus and saying she isn't funny. She's a fucking friend of the damn show. Show some loyalty instead of blindly bashing her comedy.
Patrice was occasionally funny but mostly spouted poorly formed thoughts about things he didnt understand and was not this "enlightened" street guru who kept it real 24/7. he argued like a girl by just shouting over everyone until they got too tired and was obsessed with his own gratification. no one should've taken advice from that guy. his standup sucked too.
The most important part about Patrice is that he didn't tolerate an elephant in the room.
He called out that model girl for being a bitch when everybody was avoiding it trying to be polite. There are things in a relationship that both men and women know but nobody ever says it. Like wanting to fuck around. He was honest about that.
He made me realize that I don't need to be a slave to that mental strain that an unspeakable truth has. He changed my life, man.
Based on what you said, I probably like Patrice more than you do, but for the most part I agree. I get so sick of the narrative of him being this raw genius who could get the heart of any issue ever. The guy seemed to believe whatever conspiracy theory he watched on YouTube the night before.
I vary on really liking him and then just not wanting to bother. Like there will be times I'm watching listening to a collection of shows on YouTube and I see that he's in the next one on the playlist and I'll just think "Ugh, I don't want to hear Patrice scream over everyone for two hours" and skip it, but I realized those were the shows where there would be a ton of comics in the room so obviously they're going to be going at it so its somewhat acceptable.
I really don't like his stand up. I think its because I'm so sick of the differences between group and group, and I never want to hear a comedian say something along the lines of "Fellas, when you're with your women..." again. Relationship talk of any kind is fucking abysmal. It's never new or interesting. As far as I'm concerned, Louie perfected it years ago with the talk of his wife.
But yeah, as a whole I'm sick of the Patrice worship. Just because hes dead doesn't mean hes the be all, end all of comedy or radio.
I think he knows this more than anyone, and he loves it, since it provokes reactions. He seems to derive great pleasure in someone wanting so badly to correct him on his BS, even if his head already moved on to thinking about something else.
I am not right wing myself but even though Ant has fell off the map completely and ive barely ever seen TACS, but it means nothing to me that he is right wing, that he drinks, or who he wants to fuck. That doesn't seem to go over well with O&A fans anymore
Artie Lange helped the Stern Show greatly in its weakest years of Satellite radio.
Artie was the Stern show; he made me belly laugh so many times over the years. I always hated Best-Ofs when Jackie was third mic (what's his appeal?). I stopped listening to Stern and started listening to these degenerates after he left and the show just became unlistenable.
Then Ant left O&A and I've got nowhere else to go, so I hang out with you degenerates and throw peanuts at the Hindenburg.
A thousand times this. There is only so much mileage you can get from someone being intentionally unfunny. Which is why this whole Chip cartoon is set to be a huge failure.
A lot of the people O&A feuded with actually got the better of them many times during their back-and-forths. A common example is someone would point out that Opie is a board op with a fake name. Completely indefensible and objectively true. Opie would respond with "You're trying to divide and conquer? Really? And I got my name when I was a kid and I'm stuck with it. I make fun of it too," never acknowledging that at some point he agreed to be called/suggested being called Opie on air.
There are more listenable episodes of TACS than you'd think, and if he could get a good regular cohost and/or good guests on a regular basis it would be a decent show. Still won't pay 7 bucks for that shit tho.
O&A at their best were never as good as Stern at his best. That's not to say that there weren't times that they were way better than Stern, but they were never nearly on the same level in general.
2014 was a horrible year even before Anthony was fired.
The show de-evolving into a bunch of comics shitting on each other with no structure got old. I love Attell and Patrice and Louie and all of them, but listening to them tell each other how much their acts suck got boring. I think I'm one of the few here who wants a radio show to sound like an actual radio show.Do things. Plan shit. Have a fucking format like big boys instead of lazy shitdicks who skate through life. That doesn't mean I want hacky radio, which I think lots of you tend to mistake the two. It just means that I want to see some effort. And every single person on the show was guilty of this. I don't think any of the podcasts we got now are very good. This fractured, structureless comedian podcast stuff we got going on now is bad. It will never, ever, be a replacement for classic O&A or Stern or whoever. Not even close.
I am shocked that there are people who are surprised that Anthony's podcast wasn't a smashing success. Have you listened to the show from about 2008 to 2014? Each year was worse than the one before it. I know Anthony's nuthuggers will try to say otherwise, but I couldn't give a fuck what Anthony does in his free time. He can fuck ugly 17 year olds and shoot guns all he wants. What I did care about is when he brings his lifestyle to the show and drags it down. This is not absolving Opie of blame, because Christ knows he ruined enough shit on the show on his own. But Anthony's laziness, drunkenness, and rage at blacks and Obama just derailed the show way too often. And that was when he was surrounded by people who could prop him up and force him to sort of get his shit together for 4 hours a day. When he's on his own with no bosses, no real schedule, no threat hanging over his head...why did you think that he would put forth the effort to be the kind of person that was entertaining 10+ years ago? It's just ridiculous to think that there was ever a chance that it would be good.
He was funny on the show and in though crowd but his standup was far from funny imho, that one man show was horrendous and to think i bought Netflix and proxies for that :(
I gotta back you up. I like Colin, but he isn't that funny. At least not at the status this sub holds him to. I always thought of him as mediocre since his SNL days.
Lots of people did as a way to discredit him more. It seems to be the patern after Derosa. Doing it with Kindler I think is fair because he stinks. Kurt is funny though so that approach fails.

The less fat Stangel is actually not that bad.
He throws out a decent line here and there. You can see he actually has some comedic timing and sensibility.
His brother is atrocious however, and has a sense of humor akin to Opie.
1 sanfrancisco69er 2016-02-15
I think a lot of people would agree with that. At first they got a lot of heat as "the stangels" because of how bad Justin was. But as you could tell them apart you knew Justin was the fat idiot with the worst stories and jokes but Eric was just a regular guy.
17 TijnTijn 2016-02-15
The Bonfire isn't as good most people make it seem to be. It's past 100 shows now and the most memorable things they've done is trashing Chet Hanks and starting a radio war with the golf channel. The clean christmas show was a good pallet cleanser they seemed to step it up a bit since then but before that it was just endless Big Jay stearing the conversation into sex.
9 dankfranklin 2016-02-15
I really really wanted to love The Bonfire. I stuck around for a while but I had to bail, mainly because of the callers and Dan and Jay's enthusiasm toward them. I skipped through an entire show once and every time I stopped it was some chick or idiot bro on the phone.
5 TijnTijn 2016-02-15
If you don't like the callers just listen to the begining and check if it's a live version. Half of them are prerecorded so you might like those more. Their vibe is generaly more positive then O&A and I don't mind that but they do need to learn how to just end a phonecall faster if it goes nowhere. I still have listend to every episode up until now and it's enjoyable but it is hardly ever great or amazing. Unlike LoS which can either be either really boring or absolutely halarious. There was an episode where they were pretty upset that comedy central suggested they should get a writer to write bits for them. It is kind of insulting but they do need to start doing some show prep to keep things interesting.
3 aprosbro 2016-02-15

Oh yeah you're right. I just remembered that anniversary episode and my dumb water head went to 100.
1 TrackSuitVos 2016-02-15
I haven't listened in a while. I was enjoying the Corey Feldman and Chet Haze stuff, but it seems to have taken a dip.
3 TijnTijn 2016-02-15
I think it's kind of natural. Like I said the Christmas episode was a good pallet cleanser. The main issue is that Jay just goes straight to sex. It's the same thing with his crowd work. It's very good but it could be better.
1 Nulltor 2016-02-15
Yeah, maybe im just old but listening to other dudes talk about pussy isnt that enthralling. I could just go to my friends place and talk about pussy.
1 TijnTijn 2016-02-15
Well yeah but you could say that about pretty much everything about talk radio and podcasts. If I would want to hear right wing rants I could just visit my grandfather. He would actually apriciate me listening to him and he won't charge me money for it.
14 pad_lock 2016-02-15
That I still like Opie and the show despite his crutches.
Also the show was always at its worst when humouring playmates or porn stars in studio. Unless Patrice was ridiculing them. I'd rather listen to daily Lady Di calls.
And Esther Ku is still an unfunny cunt no matter what shit she stirred.
10 AngeloMacon 2016-02-15
Even when Stern was at his peak, I hated the porn star in studio stuff.
3 Sudley 2016-02-15
Even when they had playmates/pornstars interacting with Bobo it wasn't that good, they always just ruined the energy. The only fun time I can remember with a naked chick is when one came in for Jimmy's birthday and Dice was there, but that's only because Dice was there.
Its funny how Jimmy was always pointing out that food on the air is boring because its only a treat for them, but didn't see how that logic carried over to naked ladies.
14 TrackSuitVos 2016-02-15
Otto wasn't a great performer. I was watching clips from the 80's to a few years ago, and I didn't see a lot of variety.
I loved him on the show. I loved hearing about nyc in the 70's, old movies, road stuff, but his act didn't have a lot to it.
9 dankfranklin 2016-02-15
He literally did the same jokes from the 80s a week before he died. "Smells like Sizz-lean and hot garbage." Sizz-lean? I think that's from 1981.
6 TrackSuitVos 2016-02-15
Ted Bundy's shirt joke came up a lot. I like the guy, I respect him for hustling as a kid in Times Square, but his act and side projects like the Pig Roast and the Telecrappies were duds.
1 TriangleDimes 2016-02-15
Well he was also a sad junkie and they tend to tell the same stories over and over again.
5 Mantis_Toboggan369 2016-02-15
Ha boo. If you ever saw him live you'd understand. It was his balls, not his jokes. He was a great crowd work performer.

Unfortunately, I never had the chance. I would have loved to see him live. Just going off of what I know.
3 Holzmann 2016-02-15
The pig roast he was selling on the show for a while was... not good.
1 sanfrancisco69er 2016-02-15
I understood why no one said anything because it was right after he died but they were playing his appearance on Letterman or something, and he did a joke about "what if so and so was a character in Jaws" and the punchline was singing the song "suddenllyyyyy im half the maaann I used to beeee"
Probably the hackiest joke I've heard in my life
14 aftershave 2016-02-15
Jim's characters aren't funny. Ant's reactions made them funny. It can never be successful as standalone comedy.
3 Sudley 2016-02-15
So you don't like the comic con videos?
1 Joshua_Goodnaturedly 2016-02-15
I agree with you on the last part, but I think that goes for any bit/character. They work when interacting with someone who can work work with them (Ant) and fall flat when interacting with someone who can't (Tits).
13 MartyVanB 2016-02-15
The Bobo segments are the funniest radio they did
4 Sudley 2016-02-15
I know this is still controversial among a lot of listeners, but for the life of me I can't understand why. The man was an endless well of material, even when he was just rambling the way he did it was amazing. If Sam ever managed to put together a show centering around freaks and disasters with Bobo co-hosting I'd be listening every day.
12 xxmikekxx 2016-02-15
I can't stand the opinion some have (although it's rare now) of "I just want them to get back together". I actually cancelled my subscription a year or 2 before Anthony was fired...it got really bad. Around the time when it became the "my 90 day fiancée" show. I'm just on this Reddit because, for whatever reason, all the drama & developments of those guys interest me, even though I have no interest in listening to any of their shows
3 AngeloMacon 2016-02-15
I only listened the last couple years because I was still ALL IN on the Fez drama and couldn't stop listening to that show until it died.
11 jsmill1 2016-02-15
I'd have loved a Sam, Jim, and Ant show better than any other combination, and also Sam is good at radio.
3 Sudley 2016-02-15
He's good at radio but I wish I was the demo he was aiming for, I'm not into his youth pop-culture focus.
8 jsmill1 2016-02-15
me neither, but he is good at steering the ship actually. he's always the best with Jim's characters of anyone. and it's good to give that kind of pop news bullshit sometimes to Ant and Jim to feed off, and actually also know what he's talking about as a straight man. Vs. the Opie fly by night and get lucky strategy. He also knows when a break is going well and he won't stop it midway to go to any of those pop news stories like how Opie would.

I don't understand why Colin is held in such high regard. He's a smart and funny dude but he never said anything that amazed me. A lot of his jokes aren't funny but just 'hey wasn't that clever?' Even on tough crowd he bombed a lot, which worked because he's a funny guy, but the jokes themselves weren't very good.
Downvote me, pissheads.
3 axeheadroad 2016-02-15
Also his "Cop show" fucking sucks. A "mockumentary" about an actor lacking self awareness and in love with himself, how original.
3 Sudley 2016-02-15
The reason I think he resonated on the show is because he has a very different delivery and energy than the rest of the regulars. Most of the funny comics are loud, beat you over the head kind of funny guys. Collin was always kind of just lurking and his lines would almost slip by half the time the way he said them. That and the whole 'clever' thing makes him stand out among the rest of the comics.
I joined the "Colin Quinn is a god" train when he sparked the Lady Di internship week.

I am in 100% agreement. I do not get at all the appeal of Chip and one of Opie's only good qualities is that he steamrolls right past that shit.

His special Elephant in the room was saved by the editor. Seriously watch the uncut version. There's some pretty good crowd work in that but the majority of the show is all over the place with no sense of structure whatsoever.
4 ballpitpredator 2016-02-15
I've watched a fuck ton of stand up, and never once have i thought "wow this act is really lacking some structure"
1 TijnTijn 2016-02-15
I'm not talking about his stand up but the special as a whole. The structure of the show as a whole is a mess. It reminds me of Burr saying he never saw Patrice write something down. I like the elephant in the room special that is heavily edited but the unedited version(which he of course said id superior) is definitely worse. There is some crowd work in the unedited version that you won't get the nuances of but that's about it.
-9 hautebird 2016-02-15

4 sukotsuto 2016-02-15
Patrice is funny as a person, the bits he shares in his standup aren't as funny as talking to Patrice is.
4 balladopeman 2016-02-15
True for all comedians on the show.
3 AngeloMacon 2016-02-15
He was one of those guys whose stand up was getting better with time. He went from a guy who was great at crowd work and not much else to being pretty good overall at the end. The promise of him getting better was a big part of the tragedy.
Good comics make it seem like they're just making stuff up off the top of their head at times. I legit think Patrice riffed a whole set I saw once at Carolines. It was part crowd work, then he'd do a bit on whatever their response was. It was weirdly specific stuff and not just "are you married, sir?" then do 10 minutes on marriage stuff.
6 RahnBayngtin 2016-02-15
I like Kurt Metzger and think hes really funny. The reason why is the exact reason people hate on him here. If it bothers you that someone called you a friendless loser in your moms basement, you probably are a friendless loser in your moms basement,
15 Wellshiteinabucket 2016-02-15
That bothered no one though. We didn't like him because he made terrible arguments defending Amy.
3 RahnBayngtin 2016-02-15
I was talking more how people say hes just a ranting drugged up lunatic, like no shit. Thats why i listen to him.
But the Schumer shit as well, I dont fault people like Colin, Jimmy or Kurt. In all actuality their just being a good friend. I guarantee they all a feel a certain way about it, but are actually just being nice to someone whos been nice to them. Its no grand publicity scheme.
0 TijnTijn 2016-02-15
To me it was the nail in the coffin. You see Derosa was pretty good on the radio but his stand up was pretty mediocre. That b-sides CD that he brought out and people trashed definitely was bad. But Kurt isn't he's definitely fucking funny both on stage and on radio/podcasts. When people trashed him and posted their "he was never funny" it just showed the stupidity. It makes you look like a feminist cunt if you can't admit someone is funny just because you disagree with them.
1 Wellshiteinabucket 2016-02-15
Who said he wasn't funny?
1 TijnTijn 2016-02-15
Lots of people did as a way to discredit him more. It seems to be the patern after Derosa. Doing it with Kindler I think is fair because he stinks. Kurt is funny though so that approach fails.
7 dankfranklin 2016-02-15
It bothered me with how hack it is. I also think Kurt is funny and I generally like him, so to see him using that same 1996 "nerd in your mom's basement" joke was lame.

Not an opinion but more of a 'Emperor has no clothes' thing but there's no evidence that Ant had his guns confiscated. But everyone acts like this actually happened.

6 DoubleGunns 2016-02-15
I like Jimmy's stand up. Yeah a lot of the jokes are topical but I remember 2012 so I get the jokes. Good stand up doesn't have to be an hour of timeless observations to be funny.
The show was good right up until Anthony got fired. Sure it wasn't as good as 2007 but I still laughed a lot in 2014. I even enjoyed the apology clock bit.
3 Sudley 2016-02-15

Patrice was occasionally funny but mostly spouted poorly formed thoughts about things he didnt understand and was not this "enlightened" street guru who kept it real 24/7. he argued like a girl by just shouting over everyone until they got too tired and was obsessed with his own gratification. no one should've taken advice from that guy. his standup sucked too.
20 justbabbling 2016-02-15
The most important part about Patrice is that he didn't tolerate an elephant in the room.
He called out that model girl for being a bitch when everybody was avoiding it trying to be polite. There are things in a relationship that both men and women know but nobody ever says it. Like wanting to fuck around. He was honest about that.
He made me realize that I don't need to be a slave to that mental strain that an unspeakable truth has. He changed my life, man.
2 JohnQNo1 2016-02-15
thats really depressing man.
6 LithiumAM 2016-02-15
Based on what you said, I probably like Patrice more than you do, but for the most part I agree. I get so sick of the narrative of him being this raw genius who could get the heart of any issue ever. The guy seemed to believe whatever conspiracy theory he watched on YouTube the night before.
I vary on really liking him and then just not wanting to bother. Like there will be times I'm watching listening to a collection of shows on YouTube and I see that he's in the next one on the playlist and I'll just think "Ugh, I don't want to hear Patrice scream over everyone for two hours" and skip it, but I realized those were the shows where there would be a ton of comics in the room so obviously they're going to be going at it so its somewhat acceptable.
I really don't like his stand up. I think its because I'm so sick of the differences between group and group, and I never want to hear a comedian say something along the lines of "Fellas, when you're with your women..." again. Relationship talk of any kind is fucking abysmal. It's never new or interesting. As far as I'm concerned, Louie perfected it years ago with the talk of his wife.
But yeah, as a whole I'm sick of the Patrice worship. Just because hes dead doesn't mean hes the be all, end all of comedy or radio.
5 sukotsuto 2016-02-15
I think he knows this more than anyone, and he loves it, since it provokes reactions. He seems to derive great pleasure in someone wanting so badly to correct him on his BS, even if his head already moved on to thinking about something else.

4 WNEW 2016-02-15
I don't find Norm MacDonald funny in the slightest, he comes a bit too smarmy.
Artie Lange helped the Stern Show greatly in its weakest years of Satellite radio.
Chip was funny for maybe a month
The last good years of O&A was between 2009-2011.
Special Delivery with Sam & Dave was easily the GOAT O&A affiliated show. It's one notch above The Lazlow Show.
Full Blown Aids was way more fun than Wackbag.
The last good O&A bit was Scorch PFG TV in 2013.

Artie was the Stern show; he made me belly laugh so many times over the years. I always hated Best-Ofs when Jackie was third mic (what's his appeal?). I stopped listening to Stern and started listening to these degenerates after he left and the show just became unlistenable.
Then Ant left O&A and I've got nowhere else to go, so I hang out with you degenerates and throw peanuts at the Hindenburg.
1 yeah_he_do 2016-02-15
A thousand times this. There is only so much mileage you can get from someone being intentionally unfunny. Which is why this whole Chip cartoon is set to be a huge failure.
4 siuad 2016-02-15
A lot of the people O&A feuded with actually got the better of them many times during their back-and-forths. A common example is someone would point out that Opie is a board op with a fake name. Completely indefensible and objectively true. Opie would respond with "You're trying to divide and conquer? Really? And I got my name when I was a kid and I'm stuck with it. I make fun of it too," never acknowledging that at some point he agreed to be called/suggested being called Opie on air.
4 TipX15 2016-02-15
Dan Soder was one of the most consistently hilarious guests the few times he was on the show before Anthony got fired. The guy is quick as fuck
3 stevex42 2016-02-15
There are more listenable episodes of TACS than you'd think, and if he could get a good regular cohost and/or good guests on a regular basis it would be a decent show. Still won't pay 7 bucks for that shit tho.

3 BoardroomBimmy 2016-02-15
O&A at their best were never as good as Stern at his best. That's not to say that there weren't times that they were way better than Stern, but they were never nearly on the same level in general.
2014 was a horrible year even before Anthony was fired.
The show de-evolving into a bunch of comics shitting on each other with no structure got old. I love Attell and Patrice and Louie and all of them, but listening to them tell each other how much their acts suck got boring. I think I'm one of the few here who wants a radio show to sound like an actual radio show. Do things. Plan shit. Have a fucking format like big boys instead of lazy shitdicks who skate through life. That doesn't mean I want hacky radio, which I think lots of you tend to mistake the two. It just means that I want to see some effort. And every single person on the show was guilty of this. I don't think any of the podcasts we got now are very good. This fractured, structureless comedian podcast stuff we got going on now is bad. It will never, ever, be a replacement for classic O&A or Stern or whoever. Not even close.
I am shocked that there are people who are surprised that Anthony's podcast wasn't a smashing success. Have you listened to the show from about 2008 to 2014? Each year was worse than the one before it. I know Anthony's nuthuggers will try to say otherwise, but I couldn't give a fuck what Anthony does in his free time. He can fuck ugly 17 year olds and shoot guns all he wants. What I did care about is when he brings his lifestyle to the show and drags it down. This is not absolving Opie of blame, because Christ knows he ruined enough shit on the show on his own. But Anthony's laziness, drunkenness, and rage at blacks and Obama just derailed the show way too often. And that was when he was surrounded by people who could prop him up and force him to sort of get his shit together for 4 hours a day. When he's on his own with no bosses, no real schedule, no threat hanging over his head...why did you think that he would put forth the effort to be the kind of person that was entertaining 10+ years ago? It's just ridiculous to think that there was ever a chance that it would be good.

ok, makes sense. I do see him tweeting A LOT of pics with that other chick.
1 AngeloMacon 2016-02-15
His wife is pretty, I think the problem was Ronnie B and Opie making her out to be a 10 when she's a 7.
1 kevin121312 2016-02-15
and by 7, you mean 3, right?
1 AngeloMacon 2016-02-15
Haven't seen a pic of her in awhile, but when they were still just dating she was real cute.

Bill Burr does nothing for me in any context.
The show was only ever great as a platform for Louis CK and Patrice Oneal. Beyond that it's just a slightly above average radio show.
3 Sudley 2016-02-15
And as a platform for Bobo, Lady Di, and every other disaster from here to kingdom come. Stern's freaks don't have shit on Intern David.
1 SociallyAwkwardRyan 2016-02-15
Intern David was some of the funniest shit ever
2 FaggotBannedKeith 2016-02-15
I liked Don & Mike, sometimes even more than O & A and was bummed when they started warring.

I don't really much care for this "Opie" character.
2 Nulltor 2016-02-15
I thought Joe Derosa was quite funny.
There I said it.
2 arbgeist 2016-02-15
Opie was right to disrespect Ant's girlfriend.
2 A_Faulty_Robot 2016-02-15
Sam added to the show more than anyone.
His show still stinks unless Bobby or Jim is in.
2 TristanTehGamer 2016-02-15
The Chip Chipperson character isnt that funny.

Ant intentionally got fired.
1 helobious1 2016-02-15
I never found Attell to be funny on the show. Seems like a good guy, but I didn't laugh ever. And yes, that includes the coffin line.
6 Joshua_Goodnaturedly 2016-02-15
I love his stand-up, but you're right that he never sounded comfortable in studio. Disagree on the coffin line though.
1 TijnTijn 2016-02-15
He's pretty uncomfortable in general. He worked better on Ron and Fez just like Big Jay. The laid back style just works better for them.
2 Sudley 2016-02-15
It was rare that I liked someone's stand-up better than their show appearances, but Attell was definitely one of those.
1 Lelvolution 2016-02-15
Ant's 'racism' is justified.

1 DutchHarry 2016-02-15
I think that Collin Quin sucks....
He was funny on the show and in though crowd but his standup was far from funny imho, that one man show was horrendous and to think i bought Netflix and proxies for that :(

That Anthony's incident with the black hooker was a planned publicity stunt, after it was made clear that Sirius wasn't going to re-sign him.
0 jfral 2016-02-15
Sherrod is good on Race Wars + has a good radio voice.
0 NortheastPhilly 2016-02-15
The nitpicking of the things Opie does is far more annoying than anything Opie actually does.
-3 bizzlbone 2016-02-15
Troyquan seems like a genuinely cool guy despite his obvious midlife crisis
Big A, Lady Di, and Marion were never funny (Bobo was and will always be)
Every bit/context was just cringey radio horseshit and took up way too much time
1 plasticpaddy84 2016-02-15
Troyquan... that might be the most controversial thing here
1 bizzlbone 2016-02-15
honestly thought that was his name
-6 Ant_Sucks 2016-02-15
That Anthony sucks and his show stinks. Well, it used to be controversial anyway..
My new one is that Colin is a mush mouth, and he's not very funny. Also, his twitter sucks. Intentionally shit is still shit.
0 monkdick 2016-02-15
I gotta back you up. I like Colin, but he isn't that funny. At least not at the status this sub holds him to. I always thought of him as mediocre since his SNL days.
-7 notcaldi 2016-02-15
I like both shows but I think O&J is a better show than TACS and I wish Sherrod was third mike. Also love Kurt.
-7 ImDickJustice 2016-02-15
O&J is better than TACS.
2 ixcuincle 2016-02-15
Both are terrible.

1 TijnTijn 2016-02-15
Lots of people did as a way to discredit him more. It seems to be the patern after Derosa. Doing it with Kindler I think is fair because he stinks. Kurt is funny though so that approach fails.
