WWAW Opie's Bits?

DMAN

NYC Mayor
Can you name even 1 memorable bit from O&A that WASN'T created by Opie?

Jocktober - The infamous death rattle from the tail end of the show, that still puts up numbers to this day.
The Prison Visit - A very early and very cruel humiliation ritual crafted from the 'mean girl' dark mind of Opie Hughes.
WOW - The very first bit from their partnership. Even if you never saw tits from a sticker, you've at least seen this sticker somewhere.
Mayor's Dead - Their very first firing, and the news story that got them national press. Catapulted them to a career in radio.
55 Gallon Drum - Ope flexing his Islamic inner self. This contest was a short conversation away from being promoted as a public stoning.
Homeless Shopping Spree - Opie taking a little inspiration from the Tom Green with ideas to fuck with people in public. But you use the homeless charity as shield from criticism.
Sex For Sam - It got them fired, but ultimately it cemented their legacy as shock jocks.
Cake Stomp - Still going viral every few years, and it was a throwaway last minute decision that came out of nowhere.
Poker Chips - Dumb dramatic queers Auntie and Stupid Norton passively admit this was the hardest they truly laughed at any show moment.
Annoying/Offensive Song Contests - Always Opie's idea, Auntie literally got hired by submitting to Opie's contest.

Alright, let's say Opie was retarded and did all this by accident... At the very least, you STILL owe that retard props for "accidentally" improving your life by every single metric. Yeah, it was ALL by accident. Podcasting would benefit from someone with a spine who is willing to break an old lady's guitar, take the heat, and turn it into press.

Auntie can do WHATEVER HE WANTS on his network. It's his. He's allowed to reinact the SLAVE GIRL bit with Francine herself. But he doesn't. Because he's not funny anymore. He can't be funny without the filter of THE IDEA GUY Opie.

THEY DID RADIO. OPIE WAS THE IDEA GUY. AUNTIE WAS THE VOICE GUY. THEY MADE IT WORK. NOW YOU GOT A GUY WITH IDEAS BUT NO VOICES. AND YOU GOT A VOICE GUY WITHOUT A CLUE. :lwjxnwp:

Relistening to old O&A bits I find myself finding more OPIE gems than I do Anthony or Jim…probably because dwopes have picked apart EVERY joke they’ve ever made and spread it everywhere…

The Opster knew what he was doing. Why do you think he had the policy of “ignore the haters”? He knew he was in the right and would be proven as such. Anthony meanwhile was sperging out on fan sites because he KNEW he was a sperging tard deep down.

Thats what HE does. The destroyer leaving little diamonds in the dirt for the pests to find years later.

“I like to get my jokeszz in once in a while. Sniff.”

"I hate the callers" do ya, faggot? Space shuttle endeavour, complete bombs that they'd shit on
It's why I dislike podcasts, no live element at all
I get why people say that but at least unlike R&F they wouldn’t have their friends call in and stay on the line the entire show just to laugh at Ron’s jokes. Also taking callers is part of the fucking job. I hate the retards that worship the few shows where Opie was out and Nana wouldn’t take callers as if Sirius would’ve just let her do that in perpetuity.

The only good one he ever did without Opie was the "Don West Wrestling Dolls" bit.
And even then that came indirectly from Opie. Who came up with "Wrestler Death Clock" and pushed for Sam to come into the studio and report the often violent and destructive deaths of so many young wrestlers. Anthony's knowledge of wrestlers' deaths for that bit came from Opie finding the comedy in dead wrestlers and Sam being more than willing to bring in the stories and articles.

R&F and O&A callers on WNEW and WJFK were handled perfectly. It wasn't until the whole country could call them and unload middle american nonsense wrecking it for everyone.

Opie was the only one to call out Vince outside of the rasslin world. Called out Superfly Snuka to his face. Just by acting like an idiot. But it can't be overstated that Vince was an O&A pest himself. "YEW ROOOOOONED MY BIT!!!"

The only bits I remember Opie doing are the humorlessly cruel ones that showed off what a dumb sociopath he was.

Stealing Patti's wig while she bawls on the street after kicking her out permanently for no reason but hearing her beg, as he cackles, as one of many examples.

Otherwise he was just the guy working the phones and pumping the brakes and trying to go home while other people were bringing the funny.

Next time just say “I’m a faggot who was never a fan of the show.” It will save us a lot of your boring words.

This is literally the humor of the entire show. Mocking Conor Peterson and Andrea Yates' kids. Calling up that one McDonald's worker and telling him he was fired. Laughing at the dead daughter caller and playing car crash clips. Telling a woman that Bill was dead. That the mayor was dead.

The basic humor of the show was to be as dark or absurd as possible. Opie did that better than anyone. By the end of the show Norton and Anthony were just taking the show into the gayest directions possible for each other. Mudslide with your fist. The Gay Off Contest. And so on.

Everything you mentioned had a joke or a punchline to it. Opie regularly forgot a punchline aside from "I said something mean with little to no humor behind it".

Neither extreme was good. When it became Jim and Ant do gay shit and slobber on porn stars it was just as bad as when Opester was saying unfunny cruel shit to people with no payoff.

When both sides were working together it was best.

There were no setups or punchlines for the Conor and Laci Peterson stuff. It was just brutal mockery of their deaths. Including everything from sound drops to listener song parodies. And callers making their own jokes and lines. There was no format. It was a free for all of brutal and insane jokes and often bombs.

Like when the news anchors would lists local birthdays. And you'd get birthdays for Conor Peterson or Lyle Chipperson. The joke was the sheer absurdity of some news reader wishing Uncle Paul and his favorite nieces and nephews a happy birthday. Not some lame 'setup and punchline' formula style of joking.

You sound like some faggot who didn't really understand the show. Maybe watch something like Family Guy or Friends instead?
