I can't imagine having to work with Ant for 20 years. Maybe that's what's wrong with Opie.

He did say he had to see a psychiatrist because of him.

Easy to see why, having to depend on a loose cannon all those years. He'd probably been expecting the Times Square incident for years.

a loose Cannon? Oh no!

Tom Skerrit was the guest star. He looked about 20 years old.

Anthony was a spry 45 year old when this first aired.

Ughhhhhhhhhhh, I forgot about the Tom Skerrit shit.

What Tom Skerrit shit? Did I miss something?

Ant was obsessed with making Skerrit references for the better part of a year.

I am not certain, but I would say 2011.

2012.

Splitting hairs, my friend.

Us Panera guys gotta support each other.

I had a roommate in college that was a negative egotistical divide-and-conquer POS similiar to Anthony, and I had to seek counseling that semester because of how dark my life was getting. Once I moved out, problem solved!

Divide and conquer types are the worst. In college, when you're like 19-20 it's understandable... I guess. When you're like 55-60 it's just pathetic. It's like some grandma shit where she pits her kids against each other because she's old, miserable and has nothing else to do until she dies.

Sounds familiar.

I had a similar situation with an ex girlfriend. But unlike Tranth I chose to leave instead of staying with her for 9 years because I was scared of being yelled at.

Fucking yuck

Bringing your girlfriend to work and having her add to the show must have been horrible.

Whoa. I'm all for some good Ant hate, but let's not pretend Opie is anything but a talentless, retarded hack. All that moron had to do for twenty years was kick back, read a couple papers, and let the two comedic geniuses on his right and left do the heavy lifting. Opie's angst comes from his absurd belief that he's a skilled broadcaster, and that everyone around him threatens the empire "he" built.

A) You throw the term "genius" around very loosely. Anthony and Jimmy had really good chemistry and were hilarious many times but neither is or was a "comedic genius"

B) all through the O and A run Jimmy and Anthony always said how important it was to have Opie who was an actual broadcaster steering the show. Opie may not have added a ton of comedic value (and admittedly he was pretty grating with his "psycho" act and his contrived anger) but you watch ten minutes of TACS or, God forbid, listen to five minutes of Norton's Advice Show and you understand why and how valuable Opie was to that show.

Norton's advice show stinks because it's an advice show. He's great on LOS or Race Wars but struggles on O&J. Opie makes them worse, not better.

He's great on those other shows because its not his show. Just like Opie and Anthony wasn't his show. He was the third mic. No that he has co-hosting duties he sucks.

Ant and Jim are comedic geniuses like Rich Vos is an astrophysicist.

"Firsht of all, itsch jusht shimple triginomery..."

The worst was when Anthony stomped on that homeless man's cake. That was Opie's friend and I heard he was really bummed out about that.

Yeah, and you could tell he never really liked Jimmy's hilarious characters; clearly a jealous motherfucker.

Perfect.

A retarded clock is right once in its lifetime...maybe.

That just means now is the time for a reunion, when they're both at rock bottom.

I hate both of them. Still. Hello? - Antionette

Can we get some human garbage shirts made up? Maybe the proceeds can goto those who lost their sandwich gigs?

If you ever say Opie is/was right, you are wrong. Unless he kills himself. Period.

Opie is a fucking psycho.

No, Opie is whiny and needy. Ant is a legitimate psychopath.

Opie goes up to paraplegics and makes fun of their attempts to pick up a dollar bill he just gave them. He'd be a serial killer if he hadn't met Ant.

Are you seriously just figuring out that Anthony isn't a good person? He's been the same person all along. He's been very open about all his flaws on the show for years... and all of you guys loved him.

I disagree, the Anthony of right now is not the same ant we knew and loved. This ant is pathetic and dishonest.

This Ant is desperate and disconnected from reality. He's probably still operating out of the spite he felt when he got let go in July 2014 which led him to this show and which eventually led him to betraying people he used to work with.

Ant always painted himself as the victim in all his stories. He was always pathetic and dishonest like that. It worked when he was with Opie because Opie always found a way to make it entertaining. If Ant had a problem with someone on the show he'd bring that person in and get their side of it, and everyone would eventually laugh it off. Nothing was ever left to fester the way it does now.

I always thought he was a scumbag but still kind of funny. Then the funny went away and now he's just a scumbag.

Yes, but this was before he became a self righteous empowered stormfront idiot with zero humility and no self awareness whatsoever

Opie revealed the last scene of that new Sasha Baron Cohen movie too and no one said anything. I wanted to see that unspoiled, you bald fuck!

I don't care about any of the scum stuff, or anything like that. It's why I listened to him to begin with. Who wants to listen to nice people?

But the fact that he has lost his smile the last few months has impacted his comedy, and he barely even seems like he is there behind the eyes during his interviews. Ku was in the other week giving him gold and he had nothing. He was looking at her, but he wasn't listening. Lost in his head somewhere.

I agree with Opie, but he should have stood up for the Stangels. OandA was a show that trashed people out of the room, there's serious growth that Opie can give the channel if he makes sure everything keeps moving smoothly. I'm contacting advertisers if they bring Pete Davidson back without him publicly apologizing and agreeing to go on the Harry Connick Jr. show.

So you agree with benjamin72? He accepts your apology, sir.

If you listen closely to O and J lately, I swear Opie is days away from suicide. Comments?

They say ignorance is bliss. Opie is unlucky enough to be both ignorant and miserable.
