The second i heard him on o&a i knew i hated him. There are comedians that i don't like now that the show managed to trick me into thinking were ok, but with him it was an instant dislike.

Did anyone here honestly ever like him?

Yeah. When I was 5

His Crank Yankers bit & terrorizing telemarketers are both pretty solid. That said,those are prank phone calls. His podcast is unlistenable, his show with boring Eddie Trunk sucked, and his standup is below average.

Yeah he’s got some funny shit I enjoy his anger, not the best not the worst

I dont like his voice. It's deep and gravely but he talks too quickly in short 5 word bursts.

He’s a fag but hates about 90% of the same things I do so I’ll throw on his podcast occasionally.

Ketchup is garbage

He’s a cuckold’s cuckold.

He’s a low-rent Bill Burr, who is himself a low-rent Colin Quinn.

His telemarketer albums were funny at the time. It's dated now though. But his rock n roll bullshit is really fucking dated. I came across an Eddie Trunk clip from his radio show and he was bitching about digital downloads vs CDs, and how he loved the quality more than Vinyl. He was babbling about Kiss, Ratt, Motley Crue and just dogshit 80s music. Textbook boomer. I think Eddie Trunk should get more trolling than he does.

He always just seemed like the 3rd funniest guy on a road crew.

Terorizing Telemarketers was funny, but beyond that, I really don't have much an opinion on him. He was fine when he was on the show, I guess.

Heard him this morning on J&S, he seemed rather disinterested in whatever the hell those two hens were squawking about

Probably cause they weren't talking about listening to Metallica and bangin chiiicks

Or cutting "gassers" for everyone to smell. Childish faggots

First time I heard him was on the Lazlow show, he said " You know " at the end of literally every sentence and didn't contribute anything funny.

​

I only liked one time he was on O&A, he was ranting about Apple-Bee's being terrible and it was pretty funny.

The fact that he is regularly on Fox New's late night comedy show is proof of his awfulness.

He was good on the Vos roast.

Agreed. This is the first time I enjoyed his material but he honestly looked surprised when a joke would hit.

He was funny on that dumb puppet show I watched as a kid.

He called the cops when a cop fucked his wife.

He probably thought she'd like seconds

She would and she did.

He's a good story teller that's about it.

Fuck Florentine , Too cool for school acting motherfucker.

Fuck Florentine, too cool for school acting motherfucker

He needs to bring baby Luke Florentine around again more often...kids awesome!

He was funny in that one episode of Californication

No

Yup.

Didn't mind him, didn't enjoy him.

I like him. I wish he’d stop doing material about his fuckin kid though, and what a “badass” he is. Jim is such a goddamn nice guy in real life, it’s hard to hate him.

I genuinely love the guy, more than Bill Burr.

Excellent storyteller, rants, wisdom.

Florentine is a great storyteller, good rants, one of the best guests I've heard on Joey Diaz's podcast.
