Some general autistic thoughts:

•It is really fucking weird to watch these and see Opie and Anthony have genuine friendship. You can tell these are guys who are just at the bottom. Aging, unhappily married, and just hoping to make it big.
•There were bits in here that were so fucking bad even when O&A went back to trash these tapes they didn’t touch them. It would have seriously crossed the line from fun ribbing to humiliation.

Thanks for the Autism. Will check this out.

ME: THANK YOU!!

 

[Queefer Sutherland]

He didn't really need a wig for the Stern impression. He already looked like a mini Howard Stern back then.

The Elmo one is funny and I feel like a retard saying that. Crazy I haven't seen half of these I guess they never brought them to the show?

I honestly fucking laughed at the drive by part. The image of Op and Ant in bandanas as sum HARD PIPE HITTIN NIGGAS threw me for a loop and made me loff

Doing a separate response so people can check if they want. The bits they didn’t bring on air are listed below:

7:00 - 10:40 = Billy Idol “””interview”””
(There’s literally nothing funny or interesting about it.)

10:40 - 15:30 = Penis Lifting
(They probably thought this one held up)
17:50 - 19:10 = World of Wheels
(Boring, short)

34:00 - 36:50 = Giving away Metallica tickets in a HILARIOUS bit.
(Boring, short)

36:50 - 38:20 = ???
(Just a compilation of random clips)

38:20 -39:30 = Opie controls the real rock TV program and gets into some SERIOUS mischief
(Honestly don’t know why this one was never shown. Yes, it’s Opie being douchey. But it’s not anymore douchey than CHECK OUT THE GNARLY SCARS MAAAHN!)

39:30 - 42:20 = Evil cabbage patch kid
(Short, just the Torture Me Elmo bit)

43:50 - 49:10 = Opie and Anthony prepare for the LEGENDARY bra bombing incident by encouraging people to donate their bras, while at an Ihop hosting an anti censorship rally.
(Again, don’t know why it wasn’t talked about when it’s a lead up to the often talked about Bra Bombing.)

49:10 - 51:00 = Miscellaneous bits of them
(Boring, shitty.)

51:00 - 52:11 = O&A interview legendary local Boston band “The Hazies”
(Boring, shitty)

55:10 - 57:14 = “The WOW War Room”
(Don’t know why they didn’t talk about it. It is easily one of the douchiest clips in the video.)

58:14 - 1:05:20 = Some shitty interview of a Boston local band
(Boring, shitty)

1:12:20 -1:13:10 = Opie proposes Testicle Tuesday
(Greggshells)

1:13:10 - 1:14:10 = O&A go to a Rage Against the Machine concert and get no content
(They got no content)

1:18:07 - 1:21:20 = Hacky behind the scenes of the “Demented World” CD pressing
(They look back on this like its cool but again, one of the douchiest things in here.)

1:21:20 - 1:23:00 = Behind the scenes of doing the radio show
(Boring, they probably think it still holds up)

1:23:00 - 1:25:03 = Demented World CD signing event with Patricks favorite band playing
(They probably think about this with a fond memory and don’t have anything to make fun of)

1:25:03 - 1:30:02 = Dave Grohl interview ???? But they do it as a fucking finger puppet show
(Legitimately good)

Why is Anthonys Elmo voice mexican?

 

[Easily_Remembered]

Back before they took themselves so seriously. Success really did ruin them.

Thank you, sir! It's hard for the younger brothermen to get it, but a lot of this was considered good shit back in the mid 90s. The internet barely existed back then.

I think even by 90s standards it was pretty dweebish. Around the same timeframe shit like Jerky Boys, Trainspotting, GG Alin, Bill Hicks and Carlin had been around, and many in O&A's target demographic would've had at least a passing familiarity with way more transgressive forms of pop culture than that of the b-b-boys. Granted, a lot of that was a lot more underground than would be the case now, but knowledge of it still spread around.

The WAAF tapes remind me of a Rahul Raoul Duke quote, that this is the kinda shit that would pass for edgy entertainment if the Nazis had won the war.

O&A's target demographic would've had at least a passing familiarity with way more transgressive forms of pop culture than that of the b-b-boys.

Not on FM radio, that was the whole appeal.

My father had a copy of Demented World and I remember both of us laughing hysterically. Especially at "Hey, Masturbator" (I had just learned that word) It's odd to think of my father, in his 40s at the time finding that so funny but it was a different time I guess.
