I like that Opie has no respect for Jim Norton and genuinely despises him.

1  2018-12-20 by BeigeFrequency

You can tell Opie still has some respect for Anthony, because they built a legacy together. He knows the Opie and Anthony show would never have been possible without the both of them. He thinks Anthony was a talented broadcaster and honestly seems disappointed to see how far he's fallen.

On the other hand, Jim Norton joined an already established show and added virtually nothing other than easy access to funnier comedians. Jim owes his entire career to Opie specifically. If the opster didn't fight to make Jim a third mic, baby boy would still be opening for Dice and living with Florentine. Yet he motherfucked Opie as soon as the first opportunity presented itself.

Opie's hatred of Jim is righteous and completely justified.

You can't have respect for a career pilot fish.

1  JimsJarOfMustard 2018-12-20

Jim has always used the show just for his selfish advantages. He rarely put in a full week because his standup career came first and then whined when management didn't consider him as an equal to O&A.

The 60-90 minutes of every show I was wondering if the worm was even I that day. He was literally silent for 30-40 percent of a 4 hour show. Not to mention he was out basically every Friday. 14 hours a week to tell the same 5 jokes.

1  WalterWhite2012 2018-12-20

Slip in a puddle of AIDS; tsst what’s that; suuuure; insert joke about being gay; and insert another joke about being gay.

Yup there’s your five.

14 hours a week to tell the same 5 jokes.

He has some nerve to call any offer from Sirius laughable; especially if it entitles him to afford a place on the Lower East Side, which is considered a trendy, upscale part of the city.

Fucking asshole should be barely able to afford a nice apartment in New Brunswick with the amount of effort he's put into the show, especially over the past 3 years.

I developed such a disdain for Norton that I'm actually rooting for Opie.

Does it come with a toe trigger?

Otherwise I won't get the joke for 6 years and it will need constant repeating...

1  thepuppyprince 2018-12-20

I want nothing more than for Norton to have to fly coach and sleep in hotels with crappy pillows again.

1  ArvelAzamat 2018-12-20

this subreddit has caused me to grow such disdain for both norton and cumia that I can't even bring myself to listen to old clips anymore.

1  EastSideDan 2018-12-20

Same here

1  thrillated 2018-12-20

You all said the same bullshit when the Opie hate was the thing. I am personally not bothered.

1  Audibledogfarts 2018-12-20

I got a lot of friends into Jim's comedy and they don't understand why I loathe him now. it would take way too much explaining my hate so I just judge my friends for liking him and Bert.

1  RacistPigeon 2018-12-20

Justified hatred, yes. Opie is still a faggot as well, though.

1  allenricketts 2018-12-20

I don't believe your name is Opie too. That's too big of a coincidence.

1  RacistPigeon 2018-12-20

Hurr durr

I highly doubtful he would still be opening for Dice. Dice is still funny.

1  nomadiqqq 2018-12-20

I tend to agree.

1  deep_legal_shit 2018-12-20

disagree. Weirdly, Beige has the more austere, cold, emotionless style typically associated with the English. Porsalin, the actual Britfag, seems emotive in comparison, but is just as surgical when it comes down to it. They're both good entertainers.

1  SpeckofCoppah 2018-12-20

If Opie and Ant would have just stuck to their guns of not wanting comics on, and never hired Jim, Chip Chipperson would still be a shameful private thing he only did in his home. In a way, Opie is responsible for the shittiest podcast of all time.

1  BroderickTheGreat 2018-12-20

Their old format was trash I remember them in Boston in the 90s it was drive time hacky jingles, 100 grand giveaways, and bad rock music.

1  nomadiqqq 2018-12-20

I'm so glad Norton has no children to pass this onto.

1  BeigeFrequency 2018-12-20

My bad. I liked the sentiment of your comment and wanted to make my own post. I guess I got a little narcissistic while I was writing the post and forgot it wasn't my own idea.

Fair enough, let’s put it all behind us and go for a night out at the Big Apple Ranch.

Jim can't do radio with Opie and can't do radio with Sam. It's obvious he's just there for the pay check. Whenever they do intern bits you can hear his sadness.

1  Hillarys_Brown_Eye 2018-12-20

When someone gives you a break and then you forget where you came from and mother fuck they guy you are shit. Norton is shit. I wouldn't look out the window if he was doing a show in my driveway. Fuck him.

1  TurningFrogsGay 2018-12-20

The common thread among them is that they all tried to branch out beyond their abilities. Anthony tried to be a photographer and right wing personality. Opie tried to be a viral video star. Jim tried to go from dirty joke comic to talk show host/cartoon star.

The only one with piece of mind is Opie, because he settled back into what he's good at.

1  olgravylegs 2018-12-20

Ant's scaffolding photography is pretty solid imo

1  AngryHugo 2018-12-20

Ant’s ability to take a punch from a woman is not.

Norton should be dipped in boiling oil and thrown in the east river

1  onemancrimespree 2018-12-20

Nah, Opie even respects Jim and what he contributed, that's why he's always ragging on Jim. What he doesn't respect about either one of them is the disrespect they have for themselves and others, and their lack of manhood and morality.

1  gcastrato 2018-12-20

I imagine some women having a synesthesia reaction standing next to Worm, the sight of him reminding them of the smell of tranny hookers shitting on his chest. He's practically undateable to non-sickos.

1  JoeMommma101 2018-12-20

Jim became 2nd mic to Sam Roberts. That's how little talent he has. He tried to sit in the big boy chair and be the 1st mic and failed miserably and moved back to the 2nd mic seat.

Jim Norton joined an already established show and added virtually nothing other than easy access to funnier comedians

Wasn't Jim responsible for bringing in at least a half dozen of the Cellar crowd comics to the show? Not sure of the full stories but I think a lot of those Cellar comics were close friends with Jim and he was a primary factor in helping bring them into the fold, Patrice being one of them. Patrice and Colin and early Louis ck were always fucking with Jim in a way they never really fucked with Ant, and that's not to say how they viewed Opie.

Opie had a good eye for talent and knew to encourage the right ones, from my memory he was constantly pushing behind the scenes trying to get Patrice his own show (Cult of Black Phillip show) or get him involved in some show on the station during the mid-late 2000s. I think Opie's gravitation towards Carl Ruiz is a continuation of that, Carl is a pretty funny guy and Gregg's instincts honed in on that, however too little too late

Others will know more details of the comedy cellar crowd relationships from that era but I think a case can be made for Jimmy's role in the helping the XM era show by bringing his comic friends into the mix.

1  JuulSantana 2018-12-20

How dare you besmirch Gregg "Opie" Hughes by fraudulently claiming he has any respect for that despicable child predator

1  OffTheMerchandise 2018-12-20

I think the difference is that when things were shit with Anthony, he didn't pretend to be his friend off air. Jim has supposedly hated Opie for 15 years, but they would hang out fairly regularly.

1  Chad-Ochocinco 2018-12-20

Jim’s a genius on the mic. So fast and so funny, he owes NOBODY. Opie owes norton for BRINGING IN COMEDIANS. Norton and Ant made the show.

1  SpaceCaseBassFace 2018-12-20

I'm all-in with the current Norton hate, but saying he added nothing to the show besides access to better comments is just not true. You faggots are getting too carried away with the revisionist history here.

1  Stud_beaner_69 2018-12-20

They supported him but he couldn’t support Anthony cause it might hurt him yet Anthony considers him a great friend. The worm has turned
