Opie & Anthony: Jimmy's Racist Promo (05/25/06)

[@hippa2dahoppa2]

i always find out vos is in the studio by his first joke bombing lol

[@klompsauce]

1:37 Every Single Time

[@puremercury]

This is so old that Jimmy thought that those on the right were more censorious. That aged like milk.

[@FullyLaidBack]

It was back then.

[@puremercury]

@@FullyLaidBack With sex and rough language and religious/profane matters, no question. Racial things were more the left, but there always was a dichotomy between the more anarchistic, boundary-pushing types and the lefty scolds. Now most of them are scolds and it's about EVERYTHING identity-related. They just aren't funny people. They aren't funny and don't recognize funny.

[@JW-un8ui]

I’m as right as you’ll find, but he was def right back then

[@AxelSpott]

Religious Right is the biggest threat to everything American. It’s literally what this country was created to escape

[@puremercury]

@@AxelSpott Well, no and no.

[@jimjambananaslam3596]

It really does make it seem more malicious when you exclude the black slurs lol

[@_..-.._..-.._]

They aren’t worth his time apparently.

[@alwolf2325]

Vos was right, Norton missed it.

[@WorldsWorstBoy]

First time Vos has ever been right about anything

[@billybadass7718]

Yes sir

[@sentientdogma1206]

Now Vos is all about BLM now. He’s truly sold out. Typical for his kind though,

How could any corporation not love that meaningful promo? 🤦‍♂️

[@barryyyy.e]

11:40 “yeeeaaahh? Well you’re in *myyyy* fucking studio!”

[@Anfubvinch]

I love that promo. It think it's hilarious

[@PanarchyTheater]

Lol, you can tell the age of this just by recognizing how diametrically opposite the commentary is to current reality.

[@DutchComedian]

23:41 for the promo

[@cooptravelingman]

The Atlanta promo. Where is the Atlanta promo?

[@MrEvanNoyes]

Or the first few minutes

[@raym9189]

Jimmy is a legend

[@sentientdogma1206]

Yeah but he would never say this shit nowadays. He cow-towed to outrage culture because he wants to be famous more than he wants to be honest and real. He’s the OPPOSITE of Patrice

[@sentientdogma1206]

@Patrick S Tomlinson I hear you beat women and cheat on your wife and never see your kids anymore, and your book sales suck, is this true?

[@ByCats4Cats]

Real reason... Logan was looking forward to his new job as President of the Oprah Winfrey Network and Executive Vice President at Harpo Studios

[@Gobbersmack]

The only times I've seen the religious right act like Norton described has been in Aaron Sorkin shows.

[@FairsleyDifference]

Find me a liberal outraged by the Janet Jackson incident.

[@coolboy5245]

Norton is STILL living in 2004. Can't say I blame him. A lot of us chose to dwell permanently in times when our lives were better

[@vapekin9190]

4:21 funny you say that, Yimmy

[@WaldoBagelTopper]

Lmao as I look at this video, I really understand the phrase “meaty breasted zilch”. Norton is a REALLY weird dude 😂😂😂 like I always wonder what it’s like to interact with him in real life. Like conversationally- away from the mics or cameras or whatever.

[@Kjrw1991]

Interesting, funny and charming?

[@sethlouden2529]

That's the best promo ever

[@23codez]

"I misunderstood the question" 😂

[@TomSmith-gw6fn]

Documented proof of how the culture in American has shifted in such short time. I remember these years, when censoriousness was a right wing problem.

[@ReddFoxx1562]

If you don't think it still is then you're not paying attention

[@TomSmith-gw6fn]

@@ReddFoxx1562 Oh give me a break. Just stop.

[@ReddFoxx1562]

@@TomSmith-gw6fn incredulity does not make you correct. I'm not saying that's other groups don't also have these problems but the conservative culture in America is very afraid of a lot of words.

[@TomSmith-gw6fn]

@@ReddFoxx1562 If you’re going to assert that there’s even a slight equivalence between the sanitization of language for fear of offensive speech between the American left and right in the age we’re living in, you deserve incredulity. I don’t even vote Republican, but it’s American liberals astroturfing our country with newspeak and threatening livelihoods and American cultural mainstays/institutions with language policing. It’s not even a question. And you know this. Stop pretending to find balance and nuance where you’re perfectly aware it doesn’t exist.

[@ReddFoxx1562]

If god is reading these comments thank you very much for jim Norton

You're welcome. I had predestined for him to become a serial killer but free will can be a bitch sometimes.

[@puremercury]

Elo is a good dude.

[@JacaboBlanco]

5:30 really jimmy? You couldn't have been more wrong

[@malcolmvexxed9208]

This was in 2006, it was exactly like that back then.

[@mindslaw4961]

Y'all have short memories. In 2006 it was absolutely the right who were pushing censorship. I miss those days man, here's hoping the pendulum swings back the other way.

[@604eign]

The difference between conservatives an you liberals, is we can admit that our side was pushing censorship an don’t agree with it... unlike you liberals who keep tight lipped when it’s your side

[@mindslaw4961]

604eign nah not really, conservatives are less likely to criticise conservative censorship too. The difference right now is that you get these SJWs and clickbait writers calling you a racist or a Nazi or whatever if you deviate from the party line, where it used to be right-wingers calling people commies or pinkos or terrorist sympathisers. Or indeed calling people "liberals" if they say something they don't like.

[@The-Autisto-crat]

@@604eign Most people from both sides will do and say anything to score cheap points for their chosen ideological camp. Case in point, this bullshit.

[@604eign]

No, no we won’t... conservatives boycott, we don’t care if people keep their jobs or not after doing or saying controversial things, outside or rape, molestation or murder... liberals literally have meltdowns and demand people be killed in most cases or sent to jail lolol but go ahead an tell me how it’s both sides again

[@mindslaw4961]

604eign yeah it probably seems that way to you, but you're wrong.

[@DreErdna]

Where’s the unedited. Promo?

[@NotJohnSwartzwelder]

Look at that picture of Jimmy. THATS the guy who felt the need to tell everyone all the time about his sexual exploits and always criticized other people's looks.

[@marcatkinson4149]

99% of his sexual exploits were and are with paid escorts. How impressive.

[@godlesspeacesign8852]

and?

[@alexiryo]

opie of course tries to steal line of the day because he NEVER gets it

[@sskoog]

Oh, it's sickening -- from 34:04 onwards, Opie is screaming random shit into the mic trying to divert attention. His 'act' honestly never changed all that much from early-90s Fudgie Wudgie bars onward.
