Jim and Sam Show observations

31  2017-11-08 by Raining8s

Not a popular opinion, but I like Sam and I am a huge fan of Jim. I want them to succeed. Jim is so, so funny; HOWEVER, Jim is much funnier as 2nd or 3rd mic. Having that few extra seconds makes a huge difference for Jimmy. If you listen now, usually the 2nd or 3rd joke Jimmy makes is much funny than the first about a topic.

They need someone like Ron or a real radio guy to steer the show. Jim could play off of him, and then Sam is best responding to Jim. BUT when Sam is trying to lead the show Jim doesn't trust him on mic enough not to interrupt him constantly. The show loses it's flow. NO I AM NOT MAKING A CASE FOR OPIE!!

ALSO sounds trivial but they are so far off on their facts A LOT. And if Travis or whoever else can't correct them off-mic, then they need that half way smart radio guy just to raise some questions when Jim and Sam get things wrong.

Jim and Ant like to say that they are at their funniest when they're like kids in the back of the classroom cracking jokes while the lame teacher (Opie) tries to lead the class. That was a formula that worked.

Now it's Sam and Jim both pointedly ignoring eachother's jokes as they both give their own half-baked opinions.

Liberals, am I right?

I know everyone hates Opie but he served a purpose. His solo show sucked and he was/is infuriatingly insecure and juvenile but he served a purpose.

Yes, a consistent flow killer and resident 14 year old girl. His next purpose is fertilizer and I hope he gets to it quickly. Just because J&S is absolute dogshit doesn't mean we'll start tolerating people saying anything remotely nice about Tits.

are any of the resulting shows as good as O+A? Even when Ant and Jim are together, it isn't as good as O+A was. You can't deny reality

If you put Jim and Anthony on a show with a capable third person with a little bit of humor it would be much better. Anyone with a bit of self-awareness and a bit of humor would make a show much better than anything that Opie was involved with. That said just because I don't like the taste of any of the newer turds doesn't mean that Opie is any less of a turd. You can't deny reality.

I don't argue that. Say Ron Bennington, Jim, And Ant, that would be a great show. But it isn't. Opie did what he did, I am not saying that noone could do it better. But, the fact remains that he did it and he did it effectively. Unfortunately his other character flaws made him supremely hateable.

I really don't care for how many words you put in CAPS.

Oh man! Sorry about that

Yes, that style of writing is reserved for the one and only Scorrrrrch.

I really want to read a news article where you commit murder/suicide on yourself and family

Just say familicide, it's sounds c ool and funny

Stop trying to figure out what "radio formula" works. It's over. Nothing on radio will ever be as funny as O&A. Jim is nearly 50, and he's become utterly obsessed with his new eating disorder. Every single say he's tired, probably from lack of calories, and he can't summon up the angry Jimmy energy we remember. And even if he could, he doesn't seem to be interested in doing anything besides compulsively fiddling with his phone. He is completely unwilling to take any criticism from his long time fans ("Stop listening BABY BOY!").

Sam is a childish dullard who knows nothing outside the word of wrestling and chicken tenders. He used to be an excellent shit-stirrer, but the same immaturity that made him that also makes him a terrible show director. He is also very unwilling to take criticism. He's a completely insufferable ass and a self-important Kid-Cuisine-eating mongoloid.

It's over, Johnny.

Should've used the energy you put into this and figured out the best path forward to not waking up tomorrow.

No you are!

really interesting stuff, thanks

We were really waiting for his input. Glad he chimed in.

We can close down the sub now.

I mean, he summed up everything that's been said about the show, without the racial epithets etc. I'm glad he did. Maybe someone there will read it, since this subreddit determines everything now.

Sam fucking stinks.

His jokes stink ,his voice stinks , & forcing his way into conversations adding nothing is infuriating.

Jim needs somebody funny to try an one up or he becomes a lazy faggot. Sam needs to go back to his own show,

PURIOD!

Truth

sam’s a fucking cunt and that’s that

no. its over. sam isn't funny. hes an intern who made producer but that shouldve been the end of it. jim isn't good on his own, he's a third wheel but theres nothing to play off and hasn't been since ant whipped out his phone on that fateful night

Oooof.

This hasn't been mentioned on this sub 100x or anything, faggot

Just like O&A, they run the bit to the ground.

serious question

name one bit from the jim and sam show that you thought was amazing

one bit.

please enlighten me on how you think jim and sham is a great show.

Dr. Phil Sinead O'connor

This is literally what Ant is for. He gets the first joke off, he is smart enough to correct the morons in there when they are way off. They don't need someone to steer the show, that is Sam's role, he just needs to be told no wrestling and do show prep before coming in.

HA HA HA HOL LY SHIT

Thank you, piss god. BTW Denny Falcone was on Bennington a week ago and was funny as hell, I loved it.

He's having to play the "Opie" role with Artie and this is what his fake laugh sounds like.

They gel well together on a few things, old movies and racism namely, but a lot of their jokes feel very forced. And a lot of Artie's humor is obviously fucked up by his drug use for the past 20 years. And Ant is old and very fucking weird.

It's sad cause they're both funny people.

they are so far off on their facts A LOT

Here's where you lost me. Who are we to question the intelligence of a high-school dropout and a cave-painter?

Not to protect Sam, but most countries in the world that host his paintings go through great lengths to present and preserve them, sometimes via erecting National Parks or Nature Reserves around those sites.

sam being so dumb is the ultimate example of the decline of our education system. a 60 y.o. high school drop out has more knowledge than a 35 y.o. college graduate. (I always thought of sam as the subject of cave paintings,not the painter per se...)

You annoyed me after the 1st paragraph

Sam is only good with behind the scenes staff drama and shit-stirring, they need another comedian or Ant as a regular third mic

They need to bringer in a ringer, Dennis 60's the menace.

Replace Sam with Ron, make Sam the background producer to crack on and let Ron be the boss.

Sam is worse than opie

Jim "I was hanging out with this girl" Sam "You were hanging out with a girl?!

I like Jimmy but Sam fuckin stinks

Sam is shit. Opie Roberts has no place anywhere near a microphone, unless he's plugging it in for someone who is actually funny.

Go fuck off and do your day job like the rest of us

maybe these old fucks are just played out and trying to invent some kinda hamburger helper to frankenstein together a decent show is a waste of time. ever think of that,johhny?

The show magically and weirdly stopped being fun & funny as soon as they stopped using the Little Murders sound drops. Anyone else notice that? I swear to god that happened.

"How long....will it last."
