Andrew Dice Clay STINKS

Andrew Clay Silverstein

…and I don’t like him

Opie once booked Dice on the same day as the Gay Off Contest and had the staff bring Dice in during the actual contest just to mess with Dice. This was after they had already had some major falling outs with Dice over the years. Dice tried to roll with it but ended up leaving. Eventually pretty much everyone ended up tapping out during that contest because of how uncomfortable the entire thing was.

Saw Dice's act right before Covid. He killed- but Jesus does he now look like an aging Jewish accountant.
And Elanor Kerrigan who opened for him was basically doing his act.

If you a) don't think Dice was funny in his prime and b) don't understand his influence then you have shitty uninformed taste in comedy.

Without Andrew Dice Clay, there would be no Jim Norton on Opie and Anthony

That means no Patrice, Louie Ck, Burr, Vos, Colin

Basically no Opie and Anthony show

And he’s funny

Vos was already doing O&A for about a year before Norton was ever on the show. He was on late 98.

He sold out the Garden in 86!

The Day the Laughter Died is the greatest standup album of all time

Agreed 100%.

 

[Patrick O'Neal]

Do you remember the guy who called up da show to earnestly discuss stand up with his peers and said the word 'Carlin' about 30 times?

"You see Carlin, well Carlin was the first one to be Carlin. You have to understand that, before Carlin, no one had done what Carlin..."

Which one of you was it?

 

[Gronez_Bambatta]

Agreed 100%.

That bit when he's telling the dad how he's fantasized about fucking his daughter is good as it gets...

Also ass-eating?

Also ass-eating?

An art form?

 

[Mitch Weaver]

I like the dude, he’s not one of the greats but better than most. He also spawned Dice Gottfried so for that alone he gets a pass.

Also got to meet him & he was very cool, I recall hearing hacks like Vos being uppity to fans. Now that’s an unfunny entitled prick.

There was an old lady who lived in a shoe
She had so many children HER UTERUS FELL OUT!!!

He's a jew, which means that fat cunt @RobertMewler is a fan.

As much as I hate to agree with Jay Mohr in that video, I agree with his point about Dice getting trapped in the character. The reason he was so weird on OnA in the mid 2000s (albeit in a funny way) was he was doing this character still after 20 years. Maybe there was something of him in that character when he started, but basically he was trying to do a wrestling gimmick as a 50 year old man. As for his comedy there's a reason he had a few years on top then by the early 90s he faded. It was novel for a while him saying all that nasty shit, but eventually people just got used to it, then expected it.

but basically he was trying to do a wrestling gimmick as a 50 year old man.

This is why I like him. and Fez. and it's also why I despise Sam Roberts. Go figure.

The Gay Off might not be the funniest radio but one of the most memorable later O&A shows. I like how it just gets worse and worse as it goes to the point they did an hour long recap of the aftermath a day or so later.
