I like Artie, but he sucks. He's on autopilot.
58 2018-03-27 by [deleted]
Listen to the first few of minutes of the last AA Show.
Artie is incapable of having a spontaneous conversation.
He goes into memorized jokes and anecdotes that are only tangentially related to the topic.
Example: Ant is talking about someone's shitty trailor home
In Artie's mind: shitty trailor=shitty house=broken house=construction=working construction
so we get a [probably fake] anecdote about how Artie fell through a roof while doing construction....since when did ARTIE he work construction? WAIT! Isn't this Ant's story? What the fuck. Is he really telling Ant, Ant's story?
Honestly, I feel bad for Ant.Artie often interrupts him when I feel like Ant was about to say something actually funny and then Ant usually doesn't even go back to what he was talking about. Because he knows how to have a conversation and ...fuck it. it just sucks.
He had a good topic and some energy and then Artie sidetracks into something we've all heard before like an Alzeheimer's patient. It's bad. But he doesn't have the balls to call him out on it.
listen to this shit:

The constant wheezing after every terrible joke has driven me crazy and I just don’t listen anymore. It’s too annoying
1 satanssockpuppet 2018-03-27
It's ghastly, like listening in on respiratory therapy at a nursing home.
1 FoetusCorruptus 2018-03-27
It's exactly what ant deserves
1 all_copacetic 2018-03-27
He exploited a terminally ill, late-stage drug addict, because ten years ago he happened to have a big following. I saw a clip on here earlier of Ant cackling away and fawning over one of the stupid guests, and Artie was just sat half asleep in sunglasses, shoving a burger into his mouth, with a McDonald's bag and soda literally placed right in front of him on the console. Anthony absolutely deserves this, and I say good for Artie for taking the money and running (to St Louis one weekend).

You cockblocking faggot.
1 FoetusCorruptus 2018-03-27
The fact that they named the show after both of them being fuck-up addicts would have been cute if they were in their twenties. At their ages, they're just encouraging one another to be impulsive douchebags.
1 Threeglassjoggers 2018-03-27
It would of been cute too if they were both former active users and talking about sobriety. I feel like Artie would of made a big comeback if he didn't cash in all his return chips two years after being kicked off Stern. A lot of former addicts are pretty good on the radio and entertaining especially when they get their confidence back. But no.. they want to pretend they are the pinnacle of non-PC comedy and people enjoy what losers they are because they say the N word..
1 Literal_Luke 2018-03-27
Would have.
Still would have.
1 EastSideDan 2018-03-27
You don't find it cute that they're using Anthony's mugshot from the time he beat the shit out of his girlfriend and bit her to promote the show?
1 Lyle_D_Chipperson 2018-03-27
Look... I bit her AH AH AH AHH
1 ClownPoopExpress 2018-03-27
Neither will be attending the other's funeral.
1 Onafloatingboat3 2018-03-27
Artie is a recurring character on an HBO series where he plays a successful, well-known comic. He isn't totally irrelevant yet.
1 EastSideDan 2018-03-27
Hiw many people watch Crashing?
1 Onafloatingboat3 2018-03-27
It got picked up for a second season so it's fairly popular.

I don't disagree, but he's exactly the co-host that Anthony deserves.

Sorry, Artie hasn’t been funny in years.
1 DryTeeth 2018-03-27
Never got the adoration for Artie. Was funny for a very brief amt of time.
OP is fucking hilarious right here:
Yes. I too hurt for this 60yr old racist, pedophillic monster who endures interruptions from a 50yr old junkie- as he tries to "still be hilarious" on his shitty fucking show.
God, why dos ye smite thee hideous pedophile so???
1 SpaceCaseBassFace 2018-03-27
Eight years on Stern is more than a very brief period of time, Sir.
1 DryTeeth 2018-03-27
He spent 8yrs on Stern. Yes, that's not a brief time. But was he funny for all 8 years, Sir? That is the question I'm asking...
I liked Artie the 3-4yrs on terrestrial. But Artie turned into a bit of a hack pretty quick into the Sirius gig. He was a full blown junkie by 2006.
Guy had 4 solid years. Maybe 5. Ruined many opportunities & got handed 2nd chances over & over again...and not be funny anymore....That's when it's hard to get the adoration.
1 dougfunny86 2018-03-27
Tss I haven't found that mug funny for DECADES

How could I forget the Stuttering John impression that Anthony acts like he pissed his pants from laughter during. Then he looks at the camera like ""OMG THIS MAN IS GOING TO KILL ME BY LAUGHTER FOLKS!"
1 HandsomeBlue 2018-03-27
-Had a friend who stole a canoe, was caught coming back the next day for the oars...
-"Good Will Smith" black people can't figure out 2+2 skit
-Start singing in an implied racist country song way whenever someone says "Bigger, trigger or figure"
This guy's fawkin good!

Greatest Simpsons joke ever, when Mo bet on the Globetrotters...there's a ladder!
We have a new one to look forward to: Anderson Cooper's Super Duper Pooper Scooper. He said it yesterday and then came in today with it written down on a piece of paper.

Always amuses me how shitty Zype's security is that you can just get a direct link to a show that's behind a paywall
1 killakamkam 2018-03-27
even wordpress can easily handle that
1 neoantimasonic 2018-03-27
Artie is like the loud guy cracking jokes while you are waiting at he dmv. He has to keep the plates spinning.
1 JesusHDice 2018-03-27
I don't feel bad for Anthony at all. And in Artie's defense he's been trying to kill himself since 2008.
1 FoetusCorruptus 2018-03-27
He's not trying to kill himself, he's just constantly trying to sell this "I'm such a trainwreck" shtick that's taken the place of being funny. Shame that's what he decided the twilight of his career was going to be, fishing for "Artie, stop doing this to yourself".
1 spacefairies 2018-03-27
That intro is unbearable. Couldnt even make it past that. How do people listen to this shit.

Just wait until you find out the host is a child rapist.
1 buttholebrigade 2018-03-27
He's high on suboxone every show, thats why he's been so awful. Withdrawals could kill at this point, he doesn't seem like he wants to get clean and he has a support system of enablers. I really hope Artie gets through this but this situation is so hard to watch, he needs real help.
1 therealstinks 2018-03-27
uhhh actually heroin WDs cant kill you also you dont get high off suboxone at all. hes still on heroin.
1 shakedatbooty 2018-03-27
Links a two hour show with no timestamp and expect people to listen. lol okay.
1 Sicboy69 2018-03-27
Artie is a mess but I know he doesn’t give two shits about Ant or his show, it’s a paycheck. I guarantee he doesn’t give the zero effort on the set of Judd Apatow Show that he gives to AA even with being the addict he is.
1 DeafandMutePenguin 2018-03-27
You missed today then. He had jokes written down about Anderson Cooper.
It was the first time he's done any show prep.
IDC though. I love Artie and I laugh when he retells stories.
1 PhilipMarma 2018-03-27
Louie Anderson Cooper. Get it. It’s two names combined.
That’s not a joke, Artie. That’s a Wheel of Fortune puzzle answer.
1 DeafandMutePenguin 2018-03-27
LOL
1 i_saw_nothing 2018-03-27
I'd like to buy a vowel.
1 bloodysupermoon 2018-03-27
Artie was at his best on Stern when he was ripping on someone like Gary the Retard or Hanzi. Do they ever call those guys up?
1 pastorpotluck 2018-03-27
That worked a bit better when Artie wasn’t whack pack material himself.
1 SpaceCaseBassFace 2018-03-27
Sour Shoes will call up every now and again, but that's it.
1 bonniesretardsister 2018-03-27
They should get Crazy Alice to call in, but Anthony will want to scream at her more.
1 RealTonySchiavone 2018-03-27
This is one of the things I hate most about post-O&A Ant. He's so easily distracted, and if a guest interjects with a joke, Anthony gets completely sidetracked trying to come up with anecdote about the joke, and never gets back to what he was saying.
1 TayNez 2018-03-27
Artie has the opposite problem that Jim has. Jim is distracted on his phone all the time, while Artie just never shuts the fuck up and lets a conversation happen.
1 Coondoon 2018-03-27
Artie's been pretty good the last weeks, not too bad with the repetition and relatively sober and alert.
1 MawBTS1989 2018-03-27
Some of the best O&A moments were when Ant could kick back his feet and windjam for thirty minutes. His childhood, his construction days, his marriage...it's like Jim said, Ant has a supernatural ability to make any story interesting.
Imagine doing that with Captain Steamroller on deck. Artie can be funny but he doesn't seem to realise that we're allowed to go for five seconds without hearing his voice on mic.
1 EastSideDan 2018-03-27
"Supernatural ability" c'mon. He told funny stories. He wasn't some genius.
1 DicklesTheClown 2018-03-27
His dad was a general contractor and he worked with him after school and in the summer.
1 ClownPoopExpress 2018-03-27
And then did a construction job his "uncle" got him after his father fell to help support the family.
1 NortheastPhilly 2018-03-27
There is no new generation of good comedians, and this is why its such a problem. Guys like Artie, Anthony, and Jim wouldve faded into obscurity and we wouldve moved on from them. But theyre all we have left so we cling to these senile has beens
1 CommodorePawsey 2018-03-27
You must be mistaken. They have faded into obscurity. We’re the only ones on the planet who keep track of them. Which is why Jim and Sam should care what their old fans think. They aren’t getting new ones.
1 Doc_McCoyXYZ 2018-03-27
There is hope. We still have the Mark Normands of the world. Joey Diaz is keeping it real. The herd has thinned, but they're out there.
1 tranthonycumiashow 2018-03-27
Every day, it makes more sense why Stern got rid of Artie when he did.

He was funny in dirty works but with the cast around him it's hard not to be
1 SaturdaySuperstar 2018-03-27
Anthony is a Nobody. Artie is a Somebody. The Nobody blew a million dollar job. To try and "recoup" some of that loss, he thought getting an "Stern/O & A-esque" outrageous/edgy Somebody, Artie, would put him back on the road to riches. The Somebody, of course, is well aware of this, and is quite happy taking CM's money while at the same time putting zero effort into it while at the same time treating Anthony like the dishrag Nobody that he is. What is it about this that people just don't seem to get ...?
1 satanssockpuppet 2018-03-27
Once Artie gets going every thought, memory and anecdote in his head just comes gushing out all at once, like diarrhea. He somehow went from falling through a ceiling to feeding an opossum to Beetlejuice shitting in a hotel bathtub to Levy in twenty seconds and by the time he got there Anthony was so busy "ha ha HA!"-ing the original point was buried and forgotten. I can't believe anyone could get through two hours of that.
1 Alvalanker 2018-03-27
I think the show is as good as it's ever been, if not better since Artie got out of the hospital/rehab. He's been showing up on time and been funny.
1 WestStarKinger666 2018-03-27
I can't remember Robin Quivers exact quote but it was something like "Artie will be Artie." I hope they cut him loose. People get mad on here about this but Artie is best as a bully attacking people beneath him. His best moments are ALL conflict orientated. All these shows need more wack packers with odd back stories for these pathetic assholes to bash.
1 Shady_Jake 2018-03-27
Artie's gonna do what Artie's gonna do.
