Who would make the best 3rd mic other than Jim?

[The Sue Deal]

This has been discussed endlessly in comments but I don’t think i’ve seen an official poll.

My pick is probably Bawby. Can actually be funny while also being a punching bag. I’m not putting CQ or Louie or anyone else because they would never join O&A.

So Jim died. GO

Duude, I lost all this fuckin’ weight and I feel fuckinnn’ GREAT, dude. Dude, theres fuckin’ nothin’ better than just fuckin’ kickin back and smokin’ a fuckin’ BAT dudee.

Bobby and Vos

 

[ChimpanZ]

Vos if opie didn’t continually try to attack him

 

[BoringFaggot]

I think Otto would have made a good 3rd mic.

 

[guest]

Out of that list, probably Patrice or Florentine. I liked Bobby and Vos on the show, but they were better as "extra comic in the room" rather than third mics

 

[Consensual Rapist]

Patrice for sure.

 

[guest]

Patrice or Bobby.

I like Vos but like was already pointed out above he’s better as a guest.

 

[Voscabulary]

patrice was the funniest person on the show, but he had a tendency to overpower it; having him as a recurring guest suited him perfectly. I cast my vote for burr solely because I think he would understand his role as third mic the best

 

[PogromStallone]

Really surprised at so many saying Bobby. He's now the co-host of The Bonfire and the quality has dropped so much it's unreal. All he does is shout and tell made up stories.

Good poll

Im going with Bobby. Everyone else are egotistical assholes and feel the need to be constantly talking

Otto would have been a great fill in for a week. He would not have to bring George along, he could put Jimmy on his lap and it would be the same.

I feel like people wrote off Patrice as the easiest answer, but he was the best. He could banter but also had enough of a feel for both guys when he could needle them and when to hit the breaks. I feel like Vos wouldn't, due to being Vos, and that if Burr and AntH shared a studio by week 2 there'd be a huge blowout with Cumia grinding the show to a halt until Bill admitted "Niggers are... le BAD!"

Bobby and Florentine were only good in small doses.

Vos if opie didn’t continually try to attack him

This is my problem with Vos being the third mic. He’s my favorite guest but they would beat up on him too much, Patrice talks too much to be third mic, Bobby would get beat up too much too, and Burr & Fagthony would argue too much. Florentine wins by default.

Patrice was the funniest, but he would never have been able to handle coming in every morning. He had a habit of blowing off jobs. He fucked off The Office, and that was way less work than O&A.

It sucks that Patrice didn't live long enough for podcasting, it really is the perfect medium for him. He literally could have just done a Bill Burr style one that's just him rambling for 90 minutes and became a superstar.

Bobby sucks on The Bonfire now according to the subreddit that I still lurk. Just wants to talk about his kid.

 

[ISO__JOE]

I voted Florentine even if the real answer is Patrice. If Patrice was 3rd mic it would’ve been constant racial shit. Florentine’s wife getting fucked by a 25 year old cop would’ve been a years worth of hilarious content.

I agree with you, but I think the fundamental problem is that Opie and Anthony was great because you had this never ending stream of comedians coming on to the show. And they wanted to sell tickets to their stand up shows, so they were treating Opie and Anthony like it was a job audition, because it basically was.

Whenever I put on the Bonfire it's just those two dudes telling a bunch of inside jokes and stretching everything out to the nth degree because they have so much time to fill.

The only way they could create the O&A magic is if podcasts ceased to exist. There's just too many avenues for comedians to promote their shows.

 

[Queefer Sutherland]

Patrice, because he bullied all the NY flunkies that thought they were funny.

 

[TheGhostOfBernellTrammell]

For me it's either Patrice or Bobby. Patrice did have a tendency to overrun others in conversation but was also consistently one of the funniest guests and guest hosts as long as he wasn't sperging about his proto-manosphere dating strategies. I went with Patrice in the poll.
