I’m tired of pretending Opie isn’t funny.

[Sue2]

Sure, he doesn’t have the AMOUNT of funny lines as Ant or Jim. But he’s not completely humorless. The more I relisten to clips the more I notice Opies lines. They’re said subtly, they don’t get over the top hyena laughter like the shit Ant or Jim say, but it’s still funny.

Oh you want me to list some if i’m so confident? Sorry, i’m not a zombie who keeps track of other mens funny accomplishments.

Ok, but I will give a simple one (that i’ve given before.)


Talking about Todd and his shitty frosted hair. Erock walks into studio.

Opie: Lets talk to a guy who REALLY loves frosting….

The only person who laughs is Sam, and as we all know he doesn’t give a shit about the content of a joke but who’s saying it.

Ant: Yeah he loves frosting, on his head and in it

Cue the BIGGEST laugh break from Jimmy ala “Use your fist to make a mudslide.” Even Opie says “WHAT WHEN I SAID IT SUBTLY IT WASNT FUNNY??” to which Jim starts getting defensive, knowing he’s giving a hackney response to his gay studio boyfriend making a lazy joke.

I've always found them all funny to be entirely honest. Opie was the least funniest and had a tendency to annoyingly drive an unfunny joke into the ground but still had plenty of funny moments and lines.

I'm easy to win over though, I even found Sam funny on the show...not so much now though

He was good in this:

 

[PogromStallone]

I'm pretty sure Ant and Jim decided not to laugh at anything he said, same way they decided to laugh extra hard at anything that came out of their mouths.

 

[I'm Not Loying]

This is still Opie's finest moment.

 

[The Talking Dead]

This is very true. It was real teenage girl shit the two of them were doing. Pair of gay pedophiles.

I was listening to the Catch A Predator mega cut last night, and Opie taking a call whenever the other guys are getting way too fuckin degenerate would always make me laugh. He was trying to save his fuckin show by doing that. Fuck your flow.

They were just exploring dark places, man. It’s part of the craft of comedy, to go where people don’t want to.

Brothaman could be very funny, but he's too autistic to be able to distinguish what's a joke and what's just some random statement blurted out out of frustration he wasn't getting enough shine.

When he had a gem, though, I'd howl!

tha fact tha Opester goes viral every couple years because of the cakestomp video makes me HOWL

also when he presents the false narrative they were all super fawkin' close with Andrew so it's all good


ha ha hole ee shit

This was so few and far between though. Somebody mentioned a clip of when a retard gets banned from church. I didn't remember that bit so I listened to it. It's a good example of Opie being Opie. There's no original lines, he does a "your joke but worse" and his only source of contribution is reading subpar instant feedback lines. Listen to Anti-Semitic Happy Days. Same exact Opie.

So if there were a dozen or so Opie "gems", what about the thousands of other shows where we got road apples instead.

This is the same thing with Anthony or Jim lines. Some gems, a lot of misses. The example I cited in my OP is perfect. Opie makes a genuinely good subtle joke. Gets nothing. Anthony makes the exact same joke only extremely obvious to the point where all humor is lost, yet it gets a HUGE reaction from Jim. It just doesn’t make sense to me.

Thinking he’s the least funny of the three? Acceptable. The idea that he could NEVER be funny? Just statistically can’t be true. Even the shittiest batters in the MLB hit sometimes.

 

[Easily_Remembered]

Anthony and Jim tended to do lowest common denominator, overtly obvious to the point of stupid jokes. Opie's lines, when they were good, tended to be more low-key and subtle, as in Sue's example. Naturally, stupid people gravitated towards the stupider of the three

Mecurio?

This is simply false. Almost every show either Jim or Anthony had everyone rolling to the point where after a week and a half or so of not getting it, we'd award Opie with Line Of The Day as charity and to avoid a tantrum.
