Is It Wrong To Hate Jimmy The Most?

[Queefer Sutherland]

2000-2008 Worm was Colin-lite and would have aped all of Nana's politics if she had never been fired. Worm is basically Nana without the guns and liquor.

I pity Jimmy the most. He's obviously been abused as a child and it completely fucked him up no wonder he can't function like a normal person.

I don’t know if you describe Anthony’s childhood as anything but abusive. His dad fucked him up for life. I was relistening to him telling the Buzz story and I forgot how perverse that was.

All three are cunts for one reason or another

Jimmy takes loads enough said

 

[Lamont & Tonelli]

I go between Jim and Ant as my top spot at varying rates, but I probably feel more overall revulsion at Yeemee's antics. Opie isn't deplorable as far as I know, being mostly unfunny is at worst a venial sin.

And his mother was a literal whore who dressed like a slut for schoolboys his age, She also smoked crack with him. Anthony is white trash. And his daddy issues have him copying his father drinking himself to death, and refusing to admit he's a fegola.

Opie created pretty much every premise the show ever relied on.

Opie basically created the modern talk show and podcast format.

Pioneering a broadcast format and coming up with solid premises isn't the same as being funny in the room, I was referring to Opie's on-air presence. He has made me genuinely laugh more than a couple times with a well-placed line, but imo he's got a lower hit ratio than either Jim or Ant for that.

Anthony: Racist, transphobe,

Weird move to start with his redeeming qualities.

One of these things is not like the others...

The first 4 things listed are fine and common around here

2000-2008 Worm was Colin-lite

the way Jimmy ripped off Colin's delivery and mannerisms wholesale was the single most anger inducing thing about him for me; it was even more embarrassing during the shows when Colin was in studio. did nobody behind the scenes question why that verbalizing mollusk was aping an actually talented comedian?

Would you perhaps, call it enraging?

Opie was definitely the least funny of the three. But his highs are higher than anyone else's and his lows are generally lower than anyone else's (though Jim, Bobby, and Vos had some earth ending level bombs a few times). Even Norton said that the hardest laugh he ever had in his life was when Opie tossed the poker chips at the female fan who brought them in. Opie was responsible for more 'big' laughs than maybe anyone on the show including Anthony and Jim.

If you somehow had the memory to remember every single moment of the entire show from WBAB to Anthony's firing. I would probably bet that the top 100 laughs were evenly split between the three of them and then a few random guests. Though looking back Norton might have the most bombs simply because he would fire out the dumbest stuff without even thinking about it. Like his stupid Leaf Garrett joke or his 'Dressed to Kill' joke.

Before Norton stole Chip from the Jerky Boys he would just fire out 'Chip' style lines on his own and watch them bomb over and over. Even Colin said that Chip is the real Jim. If you listen to older shows before Chip showed up you would hear Norton just throw out some of the worst lines and be in utter shock that no one laughed.

Let's ask @DieNortonDie for his unbiased opinion on Jim Norton.

Opie is funnier with hindsight. He was like a live action mascot for the show. I love knowing that Anthony and Shim Boreton were being driven nuts by his antics.

Tbfhwy I’m at the point of relistening to the show where I find everything norton says to be extremely irritating. His jokes aren’t funny and his serious talk was even worse than nana’s.
