Underrated Lines from Opie Arguments?

30  2017-12-09 by dropngo

We all know the Opie classics like "We're not that close" and "Leave it alone" but what are some 'hidden jems' and why.

Here's one I noticed. During the 2nd big Opie Vs Jim fight, Opie defends a 'bit' by saying, "That bit was fine." Jim starts trying to talk again but Opie quickly steamrolls in by calling him crazy then stammers out, "That was the bit of the day!".

Opie's classification of the bit goes from acceptable to masterpiece only because Jimmy doesn't immediately agree with him. Often in disagreements like this Opie would phrase 'bit of the day' as a pouty question ("That was bit of the day, no?") but the Opster felt attacked. So, he states that it was 'bit of the day' like it was a recognized fact that implies quality ("That movie won an academy award!") and he's getting it on the record.

I don't know DICKHEAD! Cus I don't know wut wus goin' on that day FUCKFACE!

"You wanna play? OK, let’s play!” Fucking gives me douche chills every time

"you wanna fuck around? lets fuck!"

"You wanna suck em? Let's suck!"

“You wanna playyyy, telemarketer?”

an underrated theme is how Opie argues like a little kid playing baseball, swinging for a homerun on every pitch. Opie's main goal is to shut people up, instead of compromising or conceding; even giving others a clear understanding of his point of view is secondary. Ant and Jim aren't the best debaters, but they try to convey a point.

Jim and Ant both wanted to say funny shit. That was their main goal. To make each other laugh.

Opie just wanted everyone to know how cool he was. Also, to instantly be equal to Howard Stern in every way. He wanted all of this without doing fucking anything. No merit, no talent, but he still thought he fucking deserved it.

Ant and Jim just wanted to score touchdowns, and Opie just wanted the Super Bowl Trophy handed to him for no reason.

At one point he was even saying shit like "Big boy bought the big bat today!" when he'd get mild laughter for a line, or a pity laugh from Patrice.

It's not underrated, but it's impossible to overstate how retardedly douche-cunty the ".....and I'll never tell you" line was.

He wanted it to haunt and hurt Jimmy to know he was outside the Hughes Brassiere of Trust.

iirc, astonishingly, Tits kind of doubled down on the line. He used it once in reference to the particularly horrifying and obviously unforgivable, nonexistent thing Anthony did to him, then I think he used it in response to Jimmy simply asking Tits who he was close to.

I always thought Jimmy could have gotten much better/deeper shots in during that fight if he would have taken a deep breath and a step back, but looking back, he didn't have to.

The whole baiting " I know some pretty serious shit" and then tries to take the high road " Im not telling". That shit right there is grade A bitchmade tactics.

as was trying to get Jimmy to answer for Anthony's "crimes" against him

lotta problems in that room, and they all stemmed from one buxom imbecile

Lol “buxom imbecile” vurrrry good sir

Yeah I thought that was the most transparent part of the whole thing when suddenly switching gears and acting like he didn't want to start a whole big fight. Fucker made a point to toss that in there knowing full well Jimmy would react to it.

How nobody ever "Knows the first thing about him".

I always thought it was weird that he would say that to people he's known off the air for years. Its almost like he's admitting that he's a phony liar.

With Tits, there's always a super-secret, triple-awesome level to him and his life that only he knows about, experiences, and enjoys, because that level only exists in his dreary, retarded mind.

He's a 50-something version of the "my dad works at Nintendo" kid, with his mysterious crew of confidantes, Tesla, Cali, and WFAN deals, and slam-dunk lawsuits.

Ok I'll adjust. I felt trapped.

"I beliiiiiiiiiiiiiieve you, I *really do** *beliiiiiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeve * you!"

Almost like he was talking to a 5 year old or something, like he was trying to make it look like an uncalled for Norton outburst from out of nowhere and he himself wasn't enraged to nearly the point of tears seconds earlier.

"i believe you. i'm not happy, but i believe you"

I will say, the best thing about Opie is that when you listen to those old clips of arguments or failures there's a thousand little pathetic things to laugh at for the first time that aren't extremely noteworthy but very illustrative of how awful a person he is on the radio.

"You wanna suck 'em?"

"Sometimes just go with the real moment!"

Unrelated but I listened to detective Patrick Kennedy last night (who Jimmy was swooning over) and Opie asked "so when did you think this was going to be a big case?"

"When I saw the head in the fridgerator"

Everyone was laughing so hard at Opie he literally becomes the third wheel whenever someone interesting comes in. The worst is how he has to spend the next three minutes rewording the question to make it seem like he didn't just blurt something stupid out.

I forgot about that guy. He was awesome, and holy shit what a hilarious line.

My all time favorite is "j-j-just don't NEEEEEDLE ME!"

It is so whiny and pathetic. Makes me HOW-L every time I hear it.

When he was weeping about Ant's Greggshells show, and at the end of his pity party he tearfully tried to get Jimmy and the staff to pile on Ant.

"... anyone else have anything to say?" No faggot, you are and always have been the problem.

"Was that supposed to be a bit?" - Opie, to Sal the intern turned employee, when Sal chose not to go into work during the first day of Hurricane Sandy.

Jim and Ant both wanted to say funny shit. That was their main goal. To make each other laugh.
