WHO’S WORSE: JIM OR ANT?

[DMbA]

and also stealing from his fans who unsubscribe

Counter point: he let others have unlimited access after a day pass trial, give and take

Jim never gives and you never see him on any other podcast unless he's shilling garbage, the one time he did cumtown he was fucking with them so bad they had to delete half of the show

They still paid too much.

Jimmy is easily the worst. He is a bottom feeding leech who will latch on and suck your blood (and perhaps more than that) until you rip it off and stomp it to death.

Norton has never had talent and has no personality. He was always a sideshow edgelord at best and now that having sex with trannies is mainstream, he’s less interesting than Sam.

Jimmy has a quiet desperation about him, almost like he’s fearing for his life and career every single second of the day. He’s naturally weak and normal people are instinctively compelled to bully him because he’s helpless at his core. He raped that blacked out drunk girl because he’s a degenerate loser who can’t get a girl otherwise, and the fat dead guy Ralphie May ran interference for him.

Norton tries to hide it but deep down inside he is the guy who nearly burst into tears when Ozzy rightfully left his books. That was as close to the real Jim Norton as the world has ever seen. Fortunately Opie was there to remind him that his destiny is to be bullied and humiliated until he dies alone. Ozzy didn’t care and everybody else was thrilled to laugh at Norton’s public and hilarious embarrassment.

Anthony is human garbage, but a different type of human garbage who is confident in his abilities but has squandered any natural talent he has in favor of alcohol and racism. He was funny at one point but he isnt any longer and the only one who isn’t aware of this is him. He too deserves death.

Cumia and Norton got way too comfortable at the end, it became a corny routine. I thought the jewish auntie voices was funny but when they were being serious and flirting on the show, it was humiliating. That's what Opie talks about when he says, they withheld laughs. To make him look stupid when he was carrying his weight.

I can relate to all of them in some minor way. At my lowest, I won't say that I didn't partake in some pathetic Norton or Cumia type behavior in social situations. Sometimes we're the loser, we're the target and it makes us feel better to cope with stupid comedy shows. It makes us feel better to admit that we stood at a certain spot and waited like a CREEP until an exact time to catch a girl's attention and pretend you were just walking by. we have all been Jim Norton at some time.

Wormy just wanted to be liked somewhere. He wanted to be "known" as a tortured artist like his idols. I think he ruined O&A, but he had his fair share of contributions and great moments admittedly. I strongly dislike them all now because all this time I thought they were kidding. I thought Anthony was just being shocking with the nigger talk, but twitter revealed he's sincere. I thought Jim was being ironic asking stupid questions and pretending not to know what basic things were, but Jim & Sam revealed he's being sincere.

And it's the fact they all have to be so fake about it. I wish they still had that air of keeping one another tolerable. Now that none of them care what each other thinks, they can all become bad caricatures.

Everything would be fine if Anthony just admitted
- he was gay
- that he bombed at the big jay roast
- that it's his fault he got fired
- that Opie was charitable in humoring his layabout self-destructive ways for decades
- that he's sorry for giving opie's number to Ben and then sicking him on Danny Ross when he walked away from him
(as everyone in Auntie's life does... WALK AWAY FROM HIM)

First wife, Lobster Girl, Jill Nicollini, Opie, Danny Ross, Joe Derosa, Bill Burr, Keith The Cop, Club Soda Kenny, Dave Landau, Joe Rogan... How many people have to distance themselves from you and even verbalize it happily to anyone who will listen? Y'know who gets reputations like that? Hookers and Con-Men. People you get burned by. Thieves. Kikey types, like Auntie Cumia.

Jim Norton also distanced himself, he just doesn't have the spine to say it.

 

[THE D]

Pretty much every single comic on O&A is involved in some type of weird sexual event or rape. Vos with his going gay for crack dealers. Bobby raping retarded children and orphans at a group home. Louis CK sexually harassing women and jacking off in front of them. Bobby Lee raping an underage prostitute in Mexico. Patrice did time in prison for rape and went to Brazil with his dildos. Jeff Ross was accused of raping underage girls. Joey Diaz raped a bunch of women to the point where Rogan abandoned him.

They are all losers, rapists, and perverts.

I'm seeing one glaring omission in the list of names, brotherman. And it's da troof.

He was the one about to be raped!

 

[GOD DAMN RICH CUNT]

That's what Opie talks about when he says, they withheld laughs.

Yes! During the clip with Patrice and Dipaolo they bring up red lobster and Opie asks Patrice "When did we lose the red lobsters? Cause I remember going to them!" and nobody gave him anything. Meanwhile I was ready to call for an ambulance I was laughing so hard.

 

[Single Action Army]

All you nerds saying Jim is worse.

Anthony is like a son who was a good kid that did very well in school. You had high hopes for him. All the potential in the world. Then he becomes an angsty, edgy teenager and stays that way. Stupid motherfucker had talent falling out of his ass but wasted it on entertaining and circle-jerking with his few fuckwit friends (fellow racists and white trash degenerate fans). Not to mention his penchant for pedophilia. Great comedians thought highly of his abilities. He lost it all because of his inability to behave. And that's only a couple of reasons for his top spot as worse.

Norton has always been basically the same person. Toned down these days, but mostly the same. Put their negatives on a scale and watch Anthony's cup slam through the floor to the earth's core.

This is a big point. Norton gave me some big loffs but after a couple hundred replays I think I heard all he had to muster. Ant didn't have a pre-packaged joke arsenal and remained pretty funny until the rage and wetbrain won out. CP Media could have been massive as well if he didn't put a retard in the driver's seat then dive for cover.

Ant's weird psychosies usually didn't hurt the show until the end, while Norton's weirdness was always a detriment to himself and his career, no doubt responsible for shit like guests they booked. Anti-nigger shit can be funny, especially before it became all Ant talked about, but nothing about sex translates to radio. I don't want to hear about the gross shit you did or want to do, and I think we all know how worthless and insufferable the porn whores were.

I think the three of them were pretty guilty of it by the end, but Jim seemed to be unapologetically putting little effort into the show even early on, and that was exceptionally true by OnJ or JnS when he was completely and utterly used up. Do Jim and Sam continue to just get wrasslers and fighters on?
Imagine being so checked out in your job to improv some jokes twenty hours a week for six figures that it becomes an established joke that you're on your phone or the Internet the majority of the time. I really despise when people don't take a highly enviable job seriously.

I think a metric to this question (again, just judging who they've become professionally, not personally) comes down to who you can enjoy more on old replays. Some old Ant lines can still catch me offguard and be funny, but, even if they're funny, Jim's repertoire is exhausted. I think we can say Ant didn't reach his pinnacle, but Jim has.

Norton would leave the show so often that management wanted him replaced on multiple occasions. He was obviously planning to quit the show if any of his side projects took off. If something like Lucky Louie lead to HBO signing him for his own talk show he would have left O&A immediately. But Norton could not get anything going long term. Failed Vice show, failed acting career, couldn't turn his Boneyard radio show or his 'Advice Show' into anything. His only long running things are his Chip and Doug Bell podcasts which are both painfully unfunny and brutally mediocre.

And all of his success in standup, books, acting came from his association with O&A. The only people who bought any of his merchandise or media were O&A fans. Opie and Anthony should have gotten a 50% cut of his entire income outside of the radio show. Though you can say that about pretty much all of the O&A comedian regulars as they would often use O&A as a springboard for success. Burr can pretend his Philly rant didn't change his entire career trajectory all he wants. Or Joe DeRosa can act like his part on Better Call Saul came from an audition and not the producers just throwing an O&A comic on for fun like they did with Burr on Breaking Bad.

This is how Norton always was. Checking for hookers on Craigslist during the show. Writing his book on the show off microphone and not even paying attention. Leaving the studio to get celebrity photographs or autographs. Leaving the show on Thursdays to make a talk show appearance or standup gig. Putting his advice show on the air instead of O&A related content despite zero fans asking for it and wanting it.

The fact is that they all took Opie for granted. The guy that gives O&A the most credit, Rogan, is the most successful out of all of them. And his success was literally just copying the O&A format just watered down for the mainstream masses.

 

[Sue Lightning]

Think twice before voting for me, babyboy. Not unless you want to meet Kenny and sniff my stinky resentful gassers.

 

[TheGhostOfBernellTrammell]

Jim, at least Anthony was a good conversationalist at one point. Jim always came off as a creepy lizard person trying to wear the skin of a human.

 

[PogromStallone]

Damn, a perfect 50-50. 23 votes each. I voted for Jim. Jim never had the potential to be great but Ant really did. If his firing had been a wake-up call for him and he didn't let Keith run everything he could've been huge today.

The fact that this creep who had to pay whores to shit on him had the balls to have an advice show will never stop being hilarious. Finish up the show then go back to your apartment, surrounded by pictures of celebrities you ran into at an airport, and edge yourself to porn for 6 hours. Really sounds like you have life figured out

I love how admitting she bombed at the Big Jay roast is in the top 5

That really was a turning point, wasn't it? Crazy how stubborn he was about that.

 

[LockedHDD__Pot]

Jimmy's stories confirm he was always a self-centred diva, like when he insisted to be allowed to wear a hat to school because 'he didn't like his cowlicks'.
We know enough of the ssscccummbag stuff that Jimmy did - I can only dread the things he's too reluctant to mention.
The voicemail from Jim's mother which (was played on-air) revealed how timid but enabling she was, resulting in someone who complains about thread-count & soft pillows while he's playing a chucklehut in the middle of nowhere

They're both scum, but at least AntH had to (deservedly) suffer throughout the first half of his life, although his pedophillic tendencies obliterate any previous admiration. He also seems like his brain broke & got stuck in a loop of Fs & Ns.
Ron Bennington acurately summarised it on the fateful Colin Flaghety episode.

It's a tough one.

 

[medium wyzzz]

Jim cause something something norm McDonald something something Brock Lessner something something worm faggot.

Norton tries to hide it but deep down inside he is the guy who nearly burst into tears when Ozzy rightfully left his books.

I'd rather watch Jane Fonda picking blueberries (seems pleasant)
