Anthony trying to sound intelligent.
152 2018-04-27 by JohnTheGreat78
Anyone notice that when Anthony is genuinely defending himself, he talks slowly and tries to use elegant words in a pathetic manner?
- Anthony, why do you own so many guns?
" Well, I uh, I uh, enjoy...the procurement of firearms because that is my constitutional right as an American, uhh...citi-zen. And...uh, I make use of this, uh, " privi-led-ge ", because I feel that I must acquire, uh, the means, of uh...self defense items "
There's nothing worse than a white trash highschool dropout trying to talk like the people he hears on Ancient Aliens.

It's because of his ball washers.
"I know everyone[sic] sees me as this cool, laid-back funnyman, but once in a blue moon I feel this heroic need to stand up for principles."
These jerkoffs have been, for years, telling him exactly what anyone's id would want to hear.
1 Single_Action_Army 2018-04-27
EEEWWWWWWWWWWW, did he really say that??
1 Broozie123 2018-04-27
I hated the way everyone thought he was smart on the show. Just because he watched a special on the history channel about the revolutionary war he thought he was a historian and because he caught the last 10 minutes about an expose on inner city crime he thought he was an expert on social issues. Fuck him, he's one of the most self secure dumb people I've ever heard, desperate to sound intelligent yet he couldn't even graduate from high school.
1 BoardroomBimmy 2018-04-27
Anthony seemed smart on the show because he worked with some of the biggest dumb fucks imaginable. Of course he is going to look intelligent compared to literal retards Opie and Jim and the various other riff raff at XM.
1 late_50s_why 2018-04-27
None of those mofo finished high school lol, Bennington vos Bobby etc
1 Skixtra 2018-04-27
"Give the people contests they win by remembering the words to more popular songs or the names of state capitals or how much corn Iowa grew last year. Cram them full of noncombustible data, chock them so damned full of 'facts' they feel stuffed, but absolutely 'brilliant' with information. Then they'll feel they're thinking, they'll get a sense of motion without moving. And they'll be happy, because facts of that sort don't change. Don't give them any slippery stuff like philosophy or sociology to tie things up with. That way lies melancholy."
1 TakesTheWrongSideGuy 2018-04-27
Anthony's advantage is he isn't smart but he does have a decent memory so he can just recite something he heard in a documentary verbatim and sound smart to Opie and Anthony. He's literally the douche in the bar in the movie Good Will Hunting who tries to embarrass Matt Damon's character by reciting something he read when word by word but doesn't actually have anything to add of his own.
1 DapperDan0979 2018-04-27
The dialogue in that scene on both sides was so cringey to me.
1 MuddahSockCuckah 2018-04-27
The library fine line was decent.
1 CoolerKing37 2018-04-27
Would you say it's "much to his chagrin"?
1 greggtits 2018-04-27
Oh my God he just said that in my head with that obnoxious upward inflection he does fuck you dude
1 knitro 2018-04-27
Anthony knows enough to parrot more eloquent arguments but he couldn't compose them himself because that requires the formal education he lacks. Over-reliance on verbosity is usually the hallmark of a poseur.
1 wifflebb 2018-04-27
I had a conversation with my brother once where I was saying I thought in the future a college education wouldn't be as important as it is today. He said one thing you learn in college that is hard to learn anywhere else is how to pose a persuasive, logical argument.
Every time I see Anthony arguing on Twitter I realize how right that is. He is completely incapable of mounting an argument that stands up to any amount of scrutiny. It's all talking points and misleading stats.
1 OGcumBoi 2018-04-27
everybody knows the only way to appear educated and effectively pose a persuasive argument is to accuse other people of using one of the logical fallacies you learned about in a COMM 100 class
1 wifflebb 2018-04-27
It's 'doesn't get the point' guy.
1 OGcumBoi 2018-04-27
my point was that your brother is dumb and gay
1 JohnTheGreat78 2018-04-27
You can be well spoken and have the ability to give solid arguments without University, you just need to be an intelligent person who associates with other intelligent people. And I don't mean intelligent as in some genius, but just a decent amount of basic intelligence and social skills.
A working class guy Anthony's age who has been moving up the ladder since he was 18 naturally should be able to discuss Politics, Society, Philosophy, Economics, so on. Not in an in depth " intellectual " way, but in common language. The problem is, Anthony went from drunk, psychologically fragile dumby to drunk, psychologically fragile dumby who gets hundreds of thousands of dollars to talk into a microphone. Despite all his talk of " working hard for what he has " Anthony never had to live a real life, thus he has no experience gained knowledge to speak from.

It's always cringy when retards that are too stupid to finish high school that talk about Street smart as is it's useful skill to buy and do drugs
1 consensualsexnovd 2018-04-27
Agreed although his recent defense of Bill Cosby's date rape seemed like a self-composed idea.
1 knitro 2018-04-27
does it strike you as eloquent or well formed?
1 consensualsexnovd 2018-04-27
No but he was speaking from his heart

1 hollywoodmarv 2018-04-27
Yep big time. Definitely a form of intellectualizing. He's a dunce.
1 SalesCunt129 2018-04-27
If was the worst when he’d talk about technology like he knew what he was talking about.
As an actual expert it was clear to me that he was an idiot. The only ones worse were those who propped him up like an expert. Ie Opie and Jim.
1 NortheastPhilly 2018-04-27
Ant Jim and Louis were talking about the Ipad when it was new, and they all sound clueless yet so confident
1 deepdirt 2018-04-27
This is when it's at its' worst.
Obviously not sure of what they're talking about... yet projecting that they are certain of.
Douche chills.
Err.. can I say that?
1 loperetti 2018-04-27
Also fucking guns, he knows nothing about guns
1 Slack_Irritant 2018-04-27
A couple weeks back when he tried to slip in that "see if I can't make that happen for you" quote from the Sopranos was one of the faggiest things i've ever seen.

Was it about how the young lady want the compound East or West wing

This is what uneducated people think being an intellect is.
1 Christopher_Barton 2018-04-27
Worse still, is when Brother Joe emulates Anthony emulating someone intelligent. Like a game of telephone where ends up blithering like the Damon Wayans prisoner character from In Living Color.
1 PhilipMarma 2018-04-27
Remember Brother Joe’s passionate critiques of the ‘libtard’ Electoral College in the weeks leading up to the election? Zero attempt at informing himself, just the most nonsensical, emotional rantings of an ignoramus.
1 Christopher_Barton 2018-04-27
I don't think I've really ever witnessed an older brother following around and pretending to be his baby brother.

When you spend 4-5 hours a day talking to Jim "I do nothing but watch porn" and Gregg "Autism" Hughes, it's easy to feel like the smart one.
1 DataEast1 2018-04-27
I read that perfectly in his voice
1 WestStarKinger666 2018-04-27
Jim sounds just as Stupid trying to pretend not to be the decrepit Millennial Corporate Worm that he is. At least Opie doesn't put on airs... "you think so Haters!!!!"
1 AFX337 2018-04-27
And always in such a "god, it's so obvious!" tone, while he throws his hands up like he just can't deal with us idiots anymore.
1 Battler4321 2018-04-27
Haha holeeeee shit, you are right!
1 HumpX 2018-04-27
The gun shit doesn't bug me. Its the "Ima political pundit too" trying to be the equivalent of actual political network pundits who have a show. Almost everything he spews is a carbon copy of any given radio or TV right wing commentator. I really doubt he does as much research as he claims. Then again, Im just a fuckwit so.....whateves
1 Titsasspenisballs 2018-04-27
Yeah he tries to sound less white trash and comes off as more white trashey like.
1 DildoRenter 2018-04-27
That's like the militant black fraternity with its fake Louie Farrakan leader writing his Letters to the Editor and Op-Ed pieces in our college newspaper.
The fucker must have used three different thesauruses, one of which must have been an 1895 Roget's.
If he were allowed to have his Roget's open he would have killed at Scrabble.
