Pretty much what I was going to saw. No one is saying we NEVER thought the show was funny. It’s merely that, looking back in hindsight, O&A was mostly a lousy, incompetent radio show. We just tend to remember the handful of funny parts.
I thought Ant & guests like Patrice/Burr were funny, but Norton? No. I started listening around 2010 & went back & checked out mid 2000s shows & Tough Crowd & Norton was a fucking hack. Masturbate like a lab monkey!Christopher Reeves on a pogo stick!. How are such cheesy jokes any less hacky & unimaginative than Family Guy cut scenes? Just his cadence & expressions piss me off, you can tell he thinks he's some deep 'tell it like it is' truth teller. I always hated him & most of his fans are/were complete losers & you can tell by how passionately they will defend Norton like he's some personal martyr for hideous mutants. I don't know how Patrice ever respected him.
people can hate on morton for all kinds of reasons, I don’t hate Jim now because he’s unfunny, I hate him for being a hypocrite, thief, backstabber, and a liar, but not unfunny. Almost everyone on this sub has laughed at something Norton has said, so we can’t be lying like he hasn’t been funny all these years.
I just always found Jim inconsistent. He could be really funny, but he fell back on the same hacky shit all the time. Aids, toe-trigger, etc. And his tough guy act was always a joke. The guy is 5'7 on a good day, and has the physique of a bag of wet dogshit. Now? He just sucks. I legit thought Ant was one of the funniest people on the planet for a long time. No revisionist history here. I had no idea he would end up becoming the biggest faggot on the planet not named Joe Cumia or Joe Matarese.

Can we not be faggots and at least acknowledge that this show was funny back in the day?
1 Not_Anthwan 2018-10-22
No, we thought it was funny. We know better now. It was always shit.
1 literalotherkin 2018-10-22
Everything is yellow to the jaundiced eye. The old show still cracks me up despite what has become of it.

Thats not how this works.
1 alkiefuck 2018-10-22

"darn!"
jimmy - "woah! did the fcc come after ya?"

It’s kinda a given really. If you’re here you almost certainly like the show.

A few good lines out of the 90,000 hours of radio & dozen shitty specials he's put out isn't a great ratio.

Personally I still linger so I can uncover the secrets of my death.
1 hitch21 2018-10-22
Don’t worry we blame Sam Roberts and we also blame you for allowing a maggot like that to bully you.
Linger longer

OK trivia related to Fusilli Jerry: What type of pasta is Kramer planning to make a model of George Costanza with? (Don't look it up!)
1 RicketyChippa 2018-10-22
Ravioli.

I never said any of that. Are you retarded?

naaht funny
1 Excavatetheinfo 2018-10-22
I used to get downvoted when ever I called Opie awful. He is great now, but before mid-2018 he was awful.
1 ShutYourCakeHorn 2018-10-22
Sickening.

The Jimmy anger was funny before we knew he was such a pissy-eyed egg guzzler. In hindsight the anger is just embarrassing and real, not comedic.
1 Single_Action_Army 2018-10-22
Jimmy was cool when he was funny. Now he nah so funny
1 im_not 2018-10-22
"I could argue that it does more than just entertain"
Haha yuck, like what? It inspires us and motivates us to live our lives to the fullest?

1 LamarThePotato 2018-10-22
Oh hell'naaw!!
Don't take this on me, I always trashed Norton for being the disgusting self-absorbed talent-less thing he is.
Btw, this sub is still full of Jimmy's ball-washers.
1 tunisianknifer 2018-10-22
I HATE when people refer to him as "Jimmy." He is a gay man with some sick obsessions, not a "sweet boy."
1 bobbacklund 2018-10-22
“Yimmy” Makes me irrationally angry.
1 RacistPigeon 2018-10-22
And the same fags defended Sam and are now on the Tits train too.
