I figured out jimmy's cartoon scam
29 2016-03-11 by [deleted]
I honestly think this is a "the Producers" scam:
spend a couple grand on 2 episodes of a purposely shitty cartoon he knows no one will like.
start an indiegogo with "flexible funding" so he keeps all the money even if it doesn't reach the goal.
Set the goal so high you KNOW it won't be reached, so you never have to deliver.
Do everything you can to get just enough donations to pull a profit, then stop promoting so it doesn't reach the goal, so you don't have to deliver shit.
I think little Jim-Jim might have pulled a genius scam with this one.

Anyone who gave that wealthy man money for his horrendous cartoon deserves to be bilked.

They should have their shoelaces tied together so they fall on their faces

They should have to listen to the OnA show that DeRosa did with just Opie.

I don't have one, but trust me, you won't be able to take it.

They should be raped and clawed to death by bears in front of a crowd.

Where are the holes?
12 WilliamTellAll 2016-03-11
people have been screaming about this for months and this doesnt make him a "genius" it just shows how much of a miserable failure he must be in the comedy world to stoop as low as ripping off the idiot fans of his chip character.Ones willing to give him any amount of money to put out that garbage is sad for both parties involved

It's just like "The Producers", except not funny at all and it didn't end up being a hit

This is for his "retirement" fund. He knows he's being replaced by Sherod in October, that he'll never get his own show, and that without the O&A audience he can't see out large venues. He'll go back to being a road comic, and hoping he can host the open mic at Stress Factory.

what happened to all that millions from OnA? did he spent it all on female openers to hang out with him?
1 Dick_Kickass 2016-03-11
Jim never made millions. I'd say he was pulling in $250k a year from the show, tops. I have no idea what he made on his standup.
Now, that's good money but he lives in NYC and has a very serious hooker habit. It's more than enough to get by, but definitely not enough to feel rich in New York.

Don't kid yourself, when you're wealthy, hookers are cheaper than wives.
Jim's house is paid off and he's probably the wealthiest of the three.

706 backers says a lot about how O/A/J's audience has dwindled. 8 yrs ago you are telling me that even if he didn't reach 200k, there would have to be a couple 1,000 pests that would throw in $10 bucks
3 Dick_Kickass 2016-03-11
I'm sure that if the cartoon didn't actually suck a giant bag of dicks more people would have contributed.

they chose this tho, they kept re-signing with sxm

Jimmy lives in an empty apartment jerking off to the same tranny vids he's been watching for the past five years all day. I think he could have taken out the couch cushions and scraped together the money to fund his shitty Newgrounds quality cartoon.
2 opieanthonyjim 2016-03-11
I believe when he launched this he said on air (the day he hosted the show alone and talked about the cartoon for like an hour) that the company he's working with told him to do flexible funding and set the goal higher than they expect to get. He had a reason for it, but I can't remember off the top of my head what it was.
2 [deleted] 2016-03-11
I was hoping he was ripping everyone off , it's the only way to account for how shitty the cartoon is. If he is totally legit with the funding and everything, it's almost worse because that means that animation thing was the best he could do
2 chefBarry 2016-03-11
Jimmy needs to realize he will never be an A-list comic or entertainer. He's a mid-level guy with a somewhat loyal fan base that will afford him a comfortable living. However, he will never attain the levels of popularity or success as some of his contemporaries, like Burr, Louie, or even his former opener Schumer. And he's somehow surprised that he can't have a steady girl, even though he's an admitted sexual deviant who's dumped 10's of thousands of dollars on hookers of varying gender. No woman on earth would get seriously involved with a shitshow like that!

Nothing genius, we called it from the door.

I don't think Jim needs 50k that badly. He makes that in a couple weekends I'm sure.

He can finally retire with this 30k. He's done it! He doesn't have to show up to his regular paying cake radio gig anymore. He's in the big time bucks now.
2 DaveNone 2016-03-11
30k will buy a man a lot of tranny hookers and Ozzy memorabilia.
