It's not even that people hate Opie because of his "opinions"

It's just that he's so far below the intelligence level of Ant+Jimmy+comedic guests that when he interjects it is FUCKING painful. Like how everyone gets pissed when they're cut off in traffic and have to slam the breaks. I can't explain it in scientific terms, but the way Jim+Ant+a good comic interact there is a pleasing flow to it. Opie just doesn't fit. When he says something he thinks is profound (today: "I figured this out. [Relationships] are only enjoyable for half the time" there is always a 2-second pause. Because no one agrees - Opie never says anything immediately conducive to the convo - but they figure they have to say something in order to keep the convo going.

I hope Opie fucking quits. He's too dumb to realize that he doesn't have "haters" for personal reasons...like opinions or stances. He has "haters" because he drops the show down to such a low level when he's in. He is a fucking drag on the potential of an Ant+Jim only show.

Opie has always been the instigator, the shit stirrer, but in recent years, he's lost his game. Whether it's because of management tying his hands or his personality changing, it's slipped. I find Sam, now, to be that replacement, he is, in my opinion, amazing for the show and really keeps it flowing. When Sam is on, he even brings Opie up because, in my opinion, it allows Opie to relax and just do the hang.
