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

It's ghastly, like listening in on respiratory therapy at a nursing home.

It's exactly what ant deserves

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.

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.

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..

would of

Would have.

would of

Still would have.

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?

Look... I bit her AH AH AH AHH

Neither will be attending the other's funeral.

Artie is a recurring character on an HBO series where he plays a successful, well-known comic. He isn't totally irrelevant yet.

Hiw many people watch Crashing?

It got picked up for a second season so it's fairly popular.

It's a decision an alcoholic makes.

I thought he killed last night

I got excited, then realized my brain inserted a "was" into what you said.

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

He’s gone full LaMotta at the age of 50.

I INTERRUPTED KATHY GRIFFIN SO MANY TIMES I GOT DIABETES!

"Listen to the first few of minutes of the last AA Show."

No.

I'm proud of you for taking a stand.

GET UP OFF THE GROUND AND...

Sorry, Artie hasn’t been funny in years.

Never got the adoration for Artie. Was funny for a very brief amt of time.

OP is fucking hilarious right here:

I Honestly feel bad for Ant...Artie interrupts him

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???

Never got the adoration for Artie. Was funny for a very brief amt of time.

Eight years on Stern is more than a very brief period of time, Sir.

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.

Tss I haven't found that mug funny for DECADES

He's still hilarious.

You don't have to get all flustered in a bumpkin about it.

Gabagool, Sopranos, cocaine cheeseburgers, walking to St. Louis, snorting glass, Kathy Griffin, runner's high, the lawyer and the ladder, pig costume, Chris Farley in the bathroom, Gorilla Cookies, Neil Patrick Harris is the millennial Clint Eastwood.

Pretty much everything that he said on his first opie and jim appearance, just chopped up and retold again and again

Jew broad fights Dracula, Tony Curtis... Alright we get it

Dracula's (plural)

The apostrophe makes it possessive, not plural.

Jesus, he still does the "this girl crushed glass in pills" thing?

Niggolas Caaaaaggeee

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!"

-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.

Im Babe, Im a pig.

Tony Curtis.

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

even wordpress can easily handle that

Artie is like the loud guy cracking jokes while you are waiting at he dmv. He has to keep the plates spinning.

I don't feel bad for Anthony at all. And in Artie's defense he's been trying to kill himself since 2008.

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".

That intro is unbearable. Couldnt even make it past that. How do people listen to this shit.

That’s some of Brother Joe’s finest work, and it stinks.

It's like music you'd hear on a department store promotional video circa 1994, the kind of thing that'd be playing on a continuous loop in the menswear department.

It makes him seem twice as old.

Just wait until you find out the host is a child rapist.

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.

uhhh actually heroin WDs cant kill you also you dont get high off suboxone at all. hes still on heroin.

Links a two hour show with no timestamp and expect people to listen. lol okay.

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.

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.

Louie Anderson Cooper. Get it. It’s two names combined.

That’s not a joke, Artie. That’s a Wheel of Fortune puzzle answer.

LOL

I'd like to buy a vowel.

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?

That worked a bit better when Artie wasn’t whack pack material himself.

Sour Shoes will call up every now and again, but that's it.

They should get Crazy Alice to call in, but Anthony will want to scream at her more.

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.

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.

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.

Artie's been pretty good the last weeks, not too bad with the repetition and relatively sober and alert.

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.

"Supernatural ability" c'mon. He told funny stories. He wasn't some genius.

since when did Artie work construction

His dad was a general contractor and he worked with him after school and in the summer.

And then did a construction job his "uncle" got him after his father fell to help support the family.

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

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.

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.

Every day, it makes more sense why Stern got rid of Artie when he did.

Just between highs.

nice deleted account stupid

He was funny in dirty works but with the cast around him it's hard not to be

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 ...?

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.

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.

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.

Artie's gonna do what Artie's gonna do.

Thank you. Stern, the hook-nosed Pelican, surrounds himself with excellence.

PUN DMC
