The F-U Line was the most embarrassing tryhard horseshit they ever put out.

Very uninspired. "I'd like to give big eff you to the guy who just cut me off! Not cool man! BLEEEEEP YOUUUU"

The heavy trash metal topped it off.

"Yeah man we're about to say some outrageous aggressive shit and we don't give a fuck!!! Here it comes DVV DVV!!"

Also don't forget all the Casanova messages:

"Yeeeeah, I'd like to tell my ex-girlfriend who caught me with her supermodel friend BLEEP you! She's much better in the sack anywayyyyy!"

There suspiciously never seemed to be any F-U calls about Opie played.

The only time that it was funny was when the callers were saying F-U to Bill Tetley.

agreed

YUUUUP

"The Virus spreading across America" and anytime Opie had to let the listeners know it was "great radio" they had that day.

That never really bothered me. It was just a quick tagline they used to try and get themselves over.

I think a lot of you guys are so quick to yell "HACK! FUCKING HACK SHIT! WHERE'S MUH HANG?!" and everything that isn't a room full of mediocre comics shitting on one another. I'm not defending stuff that's actually hack and embarrassing, but some things were just a product of their times and a product of radio in general. I mean, it was still a radio show and not a mumbling podcast about nothing. They had to do radio type stuff.

In retrospect, though, this is embarrassing because of how little traction the show was getting. They were acting like they were crushing it everywhere and were going to make Howard look like small potatoes, but in reality they were getting absolutely murdered by nearly every local radio show in the country and there was really nobody to blame but themselves.

It's more early signs of the Opster's obsession with going viral

To be fair didn't they hate the whole virus thing too it was just something xm forced on them?

No, the channel was originally called "High Voltage" which XM came up with and they hated. Then they changed it to "The Virus" when they could name it themselves.

Then they changed it to "The Virus" when they could name it themselves.

That name was 100% Opie's idea, I guarantee it.

Not quite cringe inducing, but when the show would stop so they could press soundbite buttons for 20 minutes was pretty unlistenable looking back at it.

Fucking hate that shit, and it was always opie...

It was Tony too. They had their own machines and Tony had better ones. It was lazy.

Anthony did it too, but you could often tell who was doing the sound bites. If it was unfunny or made no sense it was probably Opie.

Whip'Em Out Wednesday now seems completely hack but at the time it was considered edgy and cool. Most young people don't remember what it was like in the mid 90s before internet took off.

That Batman cartoon was the shit, pretty dark for a kids show.

Watch the episode where Harley Quinn captures Batman for Mr. J to make him happy. Joker then THROWS HER OUT A WINDOW saying it doesn't count since it wasn't HE who captured him. As she's in the hospital, she gets flowers from Joker and forgives his attempted murder of her because she loves him. Pretty dark? Dark AF!

i loved all that. but you know what i'm struck by when i take a nostalgic look at old entertainment like shows and video games? this thought, "THAT is all it took to get famous in the 90's?!"

i mean some of the writing and production on fairly big shows were just dog shit, but it was good enough at the time.

I don't fault them for doing it at first, but the fact that it became the hack morning zoo cliche ("It's 'Take out Your Ta-Tas Tuesday' here in the studio") and they kept doing it for years afterward is what seems really bad in retrospect.

Ok I agree with you there. They lingered way too longer with the WOW.

they also seemed to have so much pride in the WOW thing that they would attack other shows who popped up doing it

What was sad was Opie pushing WOW until late 2000's

No, I don't, but it seemed terrible.

I think the greatest/saddest part about WOW is the most attention it got came from an Internet star who makes shows about shitty old video games rather than from an actual girl.

I'm not gonna lie, I live on long island, and I did see a ton of WOW stickers on cars, stop signs, street lights. This was before they got fired for Sex for Sam, but it did seem to be an actual thing that people cared about.

Shit it was the same in the early 2000s.

I despise any and all song parodies.

Erock songs are my exception

Erocks a dinosaur

dinozaur

Dino-zaur.

I think it was Ant that said the 'Erock is a Dino-zaur' song was "haunting."

That shit always cracked me up.

I have a weird love for Todd's song parodies. They're so bad but I can't get enough of them. I wish someone would make a compilation.

Saus-age link

Dude, I had "The new ap pel-I phone, makes me uneasyyyy" stuck in my head so bad the other day, and I would smile every time I would think of it. Doesnt deserve the label "so bad its good", but its terribleness is definitely funny.

Link? I'm not sure I know that one.

enjoy, fagboy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WI3yQ8B_Nqo#t=15m50s

Thanks, twat!

Edit: that one was pretty good, but it doesn't touch "Edge of Whorey."

wow..all I listen to these days are scott and todd jocktobers and somehow I dont think I know that one..you remember what year it was from at least? Ive also been looking for his bon jovi "lets go yanks" parody

Here ya go. I'm not familiar with the other one you mentioned.

(Starts at 3 minutes in incase the timestamp doesn't work)

holy shit, there's nothing better than finding new todd show in 2014 that youve never heard before. And the bon jovi one was just a really stupid one about the yankees that was Todd's answer to all the What Does The Fox Say baseball team parodies beacause it got popular during the MLB playoffs. I really might start bookmarking these and make a montage of Todd songs with all the A&J "uh"'s left in. Its really one of my favorite things ever.

I know, I'm like a collector of shitty Todd parodies. There's a phone scam a few minutes after the parody song where Jimmy absolutely rips into Todd, his disgust is hilarious. "My name is Stealy McPersona" still makes me laugh.

Edit: phone scam starts at 8:45.

Idk I just listened to it recently I'm pretty sure it was either 10/18/13 or 10/25/13. Maybe I'll try to find it tomorrow and if I remember this I'll send you the link.

There's so many bits of his on the jocktober archives it's hard to remember which one but I think it was either 2012 or 2013... whichever year started the scott and todd fridays.

You must not be familiar with "My Dick's All Shitty."

Anthony trying to talk like an intellectual about economics, or history or something beyond trying to fuck teens (which is also cringe inducing now thanks to you nice folks here who got him to admit he prefers trannies).

Anything beyond Long Island he was fucking clueless on.

Forget Aristotle and Fuck Socrates, here comes Professor Anthony.

Steve C made the best production for the show

And THATS how you executive produce

YESSSSSS

Ant was much more tolerable when he freely admitted to "knowing a little about a lot". But every time he rattled off something he read in the first few chapters of a For Dummies book, someone in the studio would inevitably call him a genius and it really went to his head after awhile.

it really did remind me of my freshmen college classes where the professors would want us to "discuss critically". It was like a room full of Gavins.

What's wrong with a guy who has never left the country weighing in on foreign policy?

One time Anthony said that he "recently found out" that the Civil War actually wasn't about slavery. Made it seem like he was reading some reputable history book and this bombshell fell onto him instead of just repeating what one of his many n-mania websites said about it.

Callers.

Always a redneck truck driver from Cincinnati.

No. The rednecks are entertaining. What was bad was the pontificating New Yorkers with their dumb and forceful northeastern accents. Ugh.

You didn't like the hicks that reiterated their opinions back to them?

All awful digressions into the same tired soundboard clips while they laughed their asses off like it was brand new. Oh hey, Jeff Goldblum from Death Wish for the millionth time. Great.

The "Ozone Midget Sighting" wasn't funny ONCE and they did it all the fucking time.

Any "Day" bit where they just ate up time by taking callers doing the unfunny bit for huge chunks of the show.

Every time Opie interrupted something funny to badly deliver an unfunny line from Instant Feedback or the call screen.

All the talk about XM taking down "The Little Doggie Company"

Any time they'd take credit for something that was brought to the show after it was already viral on the internet.

Yes, all of it.

The 55 gallon drum challenge was O&A's way at getting back after years worth of rejection.

Figures Anthony wanted to bring it back on TACS, right before reducing himself to transgender prostitutes.

I remember during the part of jocktober where they would jocktober themselves playing their old bits. They did one from wnew where it was audio from their drive to work & it was all fake. But i remembered when it aired originally and I thought it was real and hilarious

F U A B U WE HATE YOU!! TAKE THAT YOU MOTHAHUCKAAAAAAS!!

Or the fucking bra bombing from AAF. I thought that shit was real at the time. What a mongoloid.

It's like a blimp but SMALLER!

Anthony even tried to make it sound more legitimate with a bunch of autistic technobabble. "UHH IT'S POWERED BY SOME PRATT & WHITNEY 4400s..."

Everyone's Fodder.

Anytime they had a porn star in. Wiffle bat challenge. All that shit was stupid. The feuds with other radio shows.

The Belle Knox interview was absolutely atrocious. Not even Lady Di's diarrhea could save that one.

"The virus, spreading across America."

Is it, you hack?

90s rock breaks that they did every 3 weeks or so for the last 2 years of the show.

"Chris in Philly mentioned Toad the Wet Sprocket. Remember Toad the Wet Sprocket? We had those guys on. I player a shit load of the Toad the Wet Sprocket!"

Counting Blue Cars - Dishwalla

What do you expect from the station that REALLY rocks?!

I always enjoyed those breaks. Dinosaur Jr, yo.

I go deep with Spacehog.

Early XM, I don't care who liked it. Listening back it was so forced and phony.

When they would attack Stern as if they were on the same level as him and were really getting under his skin.

Hearing Opie say shit like "what's the matter, Howie???" after 4 or 5 pests showed up to disrupt his rally in NY.

More like "what isn't".

Almost any bit involving vomiting, genitals, nudity, smelling each other's assholes ... I can appreciate some good 'ol primitive teenager humor at times but those bits were rarely funny and when they were it was because they induced someone like Bobo to say something ridiculous not because the bit was inherently funny.

The biggest problem I have with that is that Stern already did it, Stern did it much better, and Stern had the E! show, so you could actually watch it. Half of the stuff Stern ended up doing, for better or worse, was so he could put it on his TV show later. O&A trying to do that shock jock stuff and all they had to accompany it was a short little clip on the Internet with a FOUNDRY MUSIC logo half the size of the screen wasn't very good.

Pretty much everything outside the youtube clips we all know and love.

Stern fan fight.

"O-Zone midget sighting of the day"

"The phone lines have exploded" is Opie's less charming "lookie, lookie miss cookie!"

"The Pests"

We prefer to be called knuckleheads now, sir.

Rock scream Tuesday. Yuck.
What's in my pants?
E-rock promos.

To be fair I thought they were doing those as a goof as a "fuck you to management" (Which in itself is kind of cringey now that I think about it.) Wouldn't be surprised if they were lying though.

It started that way as a fuck your idea that we should do more bits. After 2 weeks though, the satire mostly disappeared and they just were doing the door ajar tuesday or whatever the fuck.

"[Random celebrity who came into the studio once for an uncomfortable interview] forgot all about us after they became a big star!"

This sub and wackbag.

The fact that this is now a board that primarily talks about Anthony's lousy brother has got to be at the top.

Whenever Jim Norton would have a meltdown when an intern gave him the wrong breakfast item he requested. He would completely stop the show and angrily yell at an intern for 10 minutes because he received a blueberry muffin instead of a banana muffin. Maybe it was a funny bit the first time he did it but the 20 other times he did it really did completely ruin the pace of the show.

1-any pranks... which is what opie thought made the show good

2-any time opie references the show and how well its doing or what affect it has on the real world

3-when they played cringe inducing audio : jocktober or piscapo or a bad singer or whatever, its mostly just un-entertaining audio-clips and very few jokes .... some exceptions I'l admit

I disagree on the Piscopo one. That was great.

Jocktober and Piscopo was great, but what about that attention whore that came in to sing "I Saw the Sign"? Just godawful.

yeah im bad example guy ... i saw the soin and shit like that is more of what i meant ... lot of good jocktobers ... i spoke out of turn

Literally any sports break they've done.

Opie talking about hockey makes me want to punch a wall. He didn't know who Lundqvist was when the Rangers were in the Finals. I wouldn't care but he always says how hockey is his whole thing, and then he doesn't know the name of the biggest player in his own city. I wonder if he could even name three players on the Islanders.

How about when they pretended to pilot a fucking two man blimp to their rival station in Boston and drop bras full of waterballoons on the staff, who responded by shooting at them with slingshots? They must have said "bro" 300 times during that segment. The worst part is when Opie does his patented "crazy intense guy" screaming at the station.

the fact that throughout their entire career they were trying to fit in with a demo 30 years younger than them.

[deleted]

[deleted]

all of it

the "fuck you" line was a complete unfunny waste of time. i'd much rather listen to the "whiner line."

Anything pest-related.

[deleted]

Jesus dude, Opie made me cringe so much I now have epilepsy. And Parkinson's. And IBS....ugh

[deleted]

Opie... period.

The opster

The song parody guy with the high pitched sissy voice who used to come on WNEW. Even at the time when I was just getting into the show, that guy pissed me off and they - especially opie - loved him. That and any of opie's 'virus' talk.

Yeah, knowing what is left of the pests became social justice caricatures under the o&a umbrella.

To be fair though, most things said here have been said 80 times, lol.

Do ya? Cause I don't think ya do

I love how your fuhrer came up with this "/r/OpieandAnthony = SJWs" narrative because his grasp on reality is non existent and all you footsoldiers are just repeating it without having a slightest clue what the social justice movement even is.

Try posting in some actual SJW subreddit. You will get automatically banned by a bot for just having posted here at some point.

If that doesn't give you a hint i don't know what will.

"Pests" didn't become anything. We are still the same hivemind of faggots like always. It's the Cumia&friends that changed and now desperately try to make up idiotic narratives about how they are fighting the good fight while the evil SJWs are trying to get them instead of just shutting the fuck up and developing their fucking product which currently stinks on ice.

Also don't forget all the Casanova messages:

"Yeeeeah, I'd like to tell my ex-girlfriend who caught me with her supermodel friend BLEEP you! She's much better in the sack anywayyyyy!"

We prefer to be called knuckleheads now, sir.

holy shit, there's nothing better than finding new todd show in 2014 that youve never heard before.
