Mean Simon was the best part of the show for years

[@buzz_archive]

That was the only reason me and my grandpa watched it. 😆

[@smokebeans2105]

It’s the only reason most people watch it I think

[@dante040]

That first woman just made me root for England to crush the rebellion

[@andrewschuschu3499]

I swear there’s actually a moment like three seconds into her “performance” in which her eyes dart to the left and she makes this face as if even she knows she’s completely off but in her head she’s desperate for it to work. I swear even she knows.

[@ChiTownOriginator]

Made me root for the South

[@johnran6015]

Opie's "are you fucking with me" soundclip was total Scott and Todd tier, never had a scrap of talent or wit

You don't understand comedy brotherman, go listen to Howard loser

Dopie was fucking clown shoes

[@dbcooprrr]

mary roach could make it in 2018 with all the voice correcting technology and every artist being crazy anyway.

[@TheJollyMisanthrope]

She'd just have to claim some kind of victim status and the cancel mob would get her into the next round.

[@Dogheadpunch]

Thank you so much for adding the video to this. It is priceless. Keep up the good work.

[@DubstepInFeCtIoN494]

thanks to this channel for putting in the hard work for every thing you do for us. the audio and videos are perfect. so much respect for you

Watching this back again... "She sounds like Aaron Nevile... with a pitbull... eating his balls!" I'm surprised that didn't get a bigger laugh.

[@MatthewBissonnette88]

Good thing Jim prevented O&A from insulting their large and diverse Asian audience, all two of them in Portland.

3:15 for a while I thought Simon was just staring at her in stunned silence

Who would choose one of the most difficult songs ever to audition for anything? 😆

The girl in the red shirt looks like Billie Eilish 😂😂😂

[@autistic.scapegoat]

A more entertaining Billie Eilish.

[@Tronathon242]

Fuck, I can still hear the land whale in the cocktail dress at night. It just pops into my head.

[@evansgate]

some of the later singers actually weren't that bad, just nervous and indecipherable.

[@FranzSanchez-ky9up]

18 Years Old?! She looks closer to 35! That Lethal Weapon reference at the end was unexpected.

[@jiggycalzone8585]

The girl in red was a troll- she admitted it a few years later that it was supposed to be a goof. Funny that Jimmy ID'd her right away as just trying to get on TV since thats more or less what she was trying to do. You can see her almost break character at 19:22

[@AdamThoba2]

no she was smirking bec someone was laughing at her off camera not breakng char. she is too stupid to break anything beyone her own brain snyappess

[@BalotelliFan713]

19:25 and on is everything. Thank you

[@deandrepowell7115]

omg there's like playlists of all these videos. that's like not grody but like so kewwwwwwwl

[@Jay-fx4tx]

Mary Roach is absolutely a troll. At the end she breaks character for just a second and almost starts laughing

[@roberttulibacki7332]

The Linebacker in the black dress is out of her mind if she really think's she can truly sing.

Jim on Simon Cowell: "He stinks and I don't like him"

[@shadowpoet4398]

1:17 OH psychic Jim! XD Flat out said he was the cause of many douche chills

[@NTxC]

Pretty good Simon Cowell impression

[@orestesmitas]

10:55 when Paris Hilton was on the show they certainly didnt do any of that stuff

[@gamersquidtv5000]

I believe they believe...I was 22 when I realized my (speaking) voice is terribly annoying and pitched....in my head it sounds completely normal and mundane

We're not talkin' about Opie here 🤣

[@somethingorother3742]

90% of the time when jim gets really mad I hate him

[@keatonburson2996]

I feel that

[@VaultRadio]

To me his rants were always his finest moments.

[@shadowpoet4398]

Yeah, the only time that annoyed me was when he went "angry Jimmy" on that caller. "AND IT'S NOT MY BIRTHDAY!"

[@mosipd]

Mary Roach is/was a troll. She was part of some group that went around to these shows and trolled them by intentionally performing poorly.

[@gdawgs101]

Source?

[@Tronathon242]

If that's true, then she's a master actor.

[@Nicole-dv8ur]

The guy who claimed he was a nanny to two girls was another troll. He just wanted to go on tv and do a shitty rap lol

[@cuddleheart5306]

@@gdawgs101 I have a source. Myself! She was in a band after all this with my room mate and they would practice at our house! She was half-trolling(trolling wasnt a phrase widely used then) according to her. She was a lesbian(at least at the time) and said she was just trying to get on TV to 'get laid'. That said, she REALLY was the WORST singer and an oddball(the vibe isn't fake). Again, I heard many band practices until they kicked her out after a few months. Hope this helps!

[@willw.1466]

if i was a judge id have a gun under the table. [bad singing] BANG!

[@bizzzzzzle]

Who ever cut these for them on the show should be fired, missed so much...

[@Calmer573]

good upload buddy

[@GhostofGomezDawkins]

In a way, Norton was equating American Idol to Kill Tony. Both go after nobodies, not making a living from singing/comedy, the real humor comes from the contestants performances and then crushing them after they've completely failed at the craft/art. Not saying there's anything wrong with that setup and content, I'm just surprised it's still going strong after so many years. It might possibly be the most perfect format for a show. This concept is still cashing checks decades after the Gong Show.. Also, RIP Cash Cab and Dirty Jobs, two great shows cancelled due to porn spin-offs. You can fuck up the lives of our dumb 18 year olds, but don't fuck up our game shows. I'm seeing the trend and Family Feud is probably next. Those Bastards.

[@johnpriceprice6860]

That Braxton guy might be o.k if he didnt do that weird vibrating throat thing.

[@DreFromMaine8472]

Pretty sure he was just trolling.

[@duffman2112]

Great call to keep a comedian waiting outside rather then to bring him in to join in on off the cuff comments regarding a video. Way to steer the ship Opie.

[@KennySherwood10]

blonde girl was faking it, you can see her break character and almost laugh while singing in the hallway

[@gdawgs101]

No way dude, I watched it back and I didn't see her break "character". She smiled in pride at the end like she thought she did well. If she was acting, she'd have an academy award

[@evansgate]

I don't think you could fake the flushed face and ego damage after being rejected

[@tarrasque419]

8:23 What is Ant referencing with the "But I'm great... Why are you denying me?" line? Is that a movie quote? I've heard him say similar things using a similar voice a hundred times I feel like, does anyone know the reference?

[@E101ification]

Opie is sort of right and wrong at the same time (even just saying he's 'sort of' right makes my skin crawl) - they don't send producers out _looking_ for crazy, awful singers. The producers hold another audition before the one you see on the show - the one that goes out on TV is actually the 2nd audition these people have all been through. The first audition is in a normal room with no cameras and producers for judges. These producers filter out the mediocre and only let through the really good and really awful. But they tell the awful singers that they're actually really good, and feign enthusiasm for them, instilling these awful singers with tons of confidence. That's why these people all have this undeserved confidence and why they all look shocked when Simon Cowell tells them they suck. Because they were told by producers beforehand that they were great. So most of them aren't actually delusional or crazy, they've just been lied to and manipulated by the programme makers. I know because a friend of mine who has fairly good singing voice went to audition for it and when he did he was pissed off to find that the first audition isn't with Cowell or the other celebrity judges. And the producers told him he wasn't good enough to go through, but he's way, way better than the awful ones that _do_ get through, which means they're deliberately sending through terrible singers for the 'freak show' factor. Knowing this, you can't really watch it and enjoy the 'freak show' side of it, because they're really not dumb or delusional people, they're ordinary people who've been manipulated just to be humiliated on TV, and by enjoying their humiliation you're technically dumber and no better than they are.

[@tarrasque419]

I honestly do not intend to come across like a dick here, but we already know that. We've known that for about 10 yrs. By "we", I mean Americans. I'm making an assumption here that you are not American, please forgive me if I'm wrong. I make that assumption for 2 reasons. 1) You spelled "programme" the way we spell "program". 2) You seem to have a very earnest but naive lens with which you view the whole concept of American reality TV. To give you an example, I'm in my 30's. Almost my entire life, there has been an abundance of reality-style TV shows that were widely watched and easily accessible. It started with MTV's Road Rules and just kept multiplying from there in slightly different presentations. We have all these dumb celebrity and lifestyle magazines here that people just eat up. Its mindless garbage. But I mention it because pretty much since the inception of Road Rules, cast members from these dumb reality shows would go to these publications and give these "tell-all" style interviews where they pull back the curtain and talk about how producers mislead/mistreat them and how the final product that goes to air is heavily edited and presented in a way to fit whatever narrative these showrunners want to put forth (ie they'll twist whatever really went down in a way that they believe will get the best ratings). I tell you all that only to explain that soccer moms and teenagers and all kinds of regular people read these dumb magazines and watch these dumb entertainment shows and it's widely known and accepted that the producers on these shows lie to participants. It's a very low form of entertainment, but I take issue with you saying that anyone who watches this shit is dumber than anyone who participates in it. If these people are deranged and delusional enough to allow themselves to be manipulated by these producers, then in my view they deserve to be ridiculed. They desperately need the wakeup call. Again, I know that it's low brow. I'm definitely not a fan of these type of shows. But i'm no smarter or more cultured than anyone who does enjoy them. We all understand it for what it is. They send through really good people and really bad people because that's what is entertaining. That's what gets ratings. Maybe 10 years ago that would have been a revelation but literally everybody knows how it works.

[@thankyoujodi]

Definitely. A distant relative got denied, when I know she has a better voice than most of these goofy people. She relayed the same msg that she was in between the very good and the trash.
