Example of Opie steering the ship right into an iceberg

9  2018-02-23 by NY19

After the show, including Vos and Patrice, are riffing on, and trashing, Jim's early stand up, Opie feels the need to interrupt and say that Roger Clemens denied using steroids. It does nothing except kill the momentum. Go to about 26:20. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TEz4M4ONiC8

My personal favorite:

(They were discussing Blanket, Michael Jackson's kid)

Opie: 'I can't believe no one has brought it up yet, it's Comedy 101! Andy in Cleveland!'

Caller: Yeah, the obvious joke, was 'electric blanket'.

Anthony: 'Oh, uh....Yeah.'

(Jimmy retreats into his Chip character for safety)

It was in this moment I realized that Chip Chipperson was 100% based on Opie.

Opie knows comedy 101. Dude’s genius is in his subtlety

He's so subtle, no one feels any need to laugh at anything he's ever said.

There was an episode where Tom Papa was in and Jim did a Chip riff. Then moments later Opie tells a “joke” and Papa says “ah I see you’re doing Chip too”.

"Stop being funny for a second, guys. I have to bring up a stupid news story to justify my existence."

He wasn't a ship steerer, he was a train derailer.
