The universe is mocking Jim Norton

Netflix has a show about a guy named Chip.
FX has a show about an unsuccessful clown named Chip.
It seems like little Jimmy just wasn't made for show business.

Norton should get a studio in NYC, that seems to always makes things better.

His friend Louie doesn't even cast him in Horace and Pete. He casts Cuck Metzger and Nick Dipolo, but not Blinky Norton.

Are you inferring that Jim Norton isn't a good actor?
13 Really_Big_Dummy 2016-03-26
Being on Horace and Pete has nothing to do with acting ability.

Either way, Jimmy lacks it.

It seems to have a lot to do with ability to deliver dialogue. That show is 100% dialogue driven. Jimmy can't deliver long stretches of dialogue without looking like a twitchy little retard. Unless it's a character piece and that is what CK is looking for, the worm is not able to offer anything to the show.

Do you mean "implying"?
0 PassProtect15 2016-03-26
No
4 HookerMouth82 2016-03-26
You did. A reader makes an inference. A writer makes an implication.
2 PassProtect15 2016-03-26
Googled it. Looks like I learned something new today. Thank you, Mr. HookerMouth82.

He's implying; you're inferring.
6 blackirishlad 2016-03-26
well, when the need arises for a cancerous bird....
nobody knows what he is since he's lost weight. and that his old degenerate character just isn't quite the same without him being fat and extremely unfuckable and yet very lovable.

Even weirder is he casted Mark Normand. Metzger and DiPaulo are at least decent actors but as funny as Normand is, he might actually be a worse actor than Jim. Obv there not the same person and Louis might not have needed a menopausal type male character but I still found it odd.

No one ever said Tucker Marx Normand was funny.

Didja really "laugh out loud", sweetie? You must be new here. You see, he says that name really, really, REALLY doesn't bother him and he repeatedly posts responses like that then declares himself victorious over reddit. One would think that if it didn't bother him, he wouldn't need to say anything at all.

Jim's characters are really half-baked ideas he came up with on the fly and never really developed them into something great. Compare Chip with Ricky Gervais' David Brent. It's money in the bank because it's fleshed out and deliberate. There's probably 800 pages of solid writing to back it up. Jimmy never made an effort to flesh out his characters in a serious way. They are all in-jokes and you have to be plugged into the O&A universe to even know why it's remotely funny. Just look at his cartoon. He's not a storyteller.
The Office and David Brent are universally funny. Don't need to be a fan to understand it.
So in conclusion, Chip cartoon sucks not only because it's poorly animated, it sucks mainly because Jim is lazy and didn't put a lot of thought into his main "character".

The Chip Chipperson cartoon feels like if Chip Chipperson really wrote it.
3 FaggotBannedKeith 2016-03-26
And animated it. And voiced acted every character. And promoted it.
1 DenseMan 2016-03-26
It's worse than that. Jennifer Carmody wrote it.
5 CuckECheese 2016-03-26
tss yeah i like a good romantic carmody
3 AngeloMacon 2016-03-26
That's a better joke than anything in the cartoon.
9 scottgreenstein 2016-03-26
That cartoon made by the teens blows chip chipperson show out the water, fucking Norton should pay them to do the rest of the episodes.
5 Lish_fips89 2016-03-26
Nah, mate. He should just not have a cartoon and stay in his fucking lane.
1 AngeloMacon 2016-03-26
If Jim and his ex are the writers, it wasn't going to matter who animated their garbage.
6 tibber2 2016-03-26
Josh Gondelman has gone from bombing on PFG-TV to being more successful than Jimmy is.
5 swanal 2016-03-26
Jim Norton has a cartoon about his Chip Chippitson character that he did
16 MandrakesLeg 2016-03-26
Really? Wow! That sounds great. Is it great? Do you guys like it?
6 swanal 2016-03-26
It's fawkin hilariouss!
5 xxmikekxx 2016-03-26
I think it's just that Jim's characters are pretty unoriginal so many people thought of them too. Kinda like the excuses that Amy's friends use for her jokes
3 RearNakedGrope 2016-03-26
Is "The Characters" any good? I watched five mknutes of it and it looks like shit.
2 GypsyDishwasher 2016-03-26
I was looking forward to it, but the only episode I enjoyed was the Lauren Lapkus one, and even that one wasn't great.
1 chicken-named-mike 2016-03-26
It's hit or miss, as you'd expect based on the show's premise.
I binge watched it while doing laundry last weekend. It's not bad, but not great.
3 Brandy_Buck 2016-03-26
I almost feel bad for the lil' guy.
2 TakeMeXenu 2016-03-26
IT'S A QUANSPIRACY!!!!
2 southhemispherefan 2016-03-26
oof man.. there are real people like that in Australia.. No joke at all.
2 Kurt_Love 2016-03-26
The FX show is also his friend Louie teaming with the guy who made fun of Jim for having a bodyguard when he's not famous at all.

FX has a show about an unsuccessful clown named Chip? Hey, so does SiriusXM.
