Opie & Anthony: Scorch s PFG TV Weird News

[@richhenry7540]

"I stink, therefore I am" Just gold, a gem. Anthony riffing it in radio format was great.

[@brotherbisquick]

Another weird thing I noticed (after watching this 4000 times) is when the co host shrieks "1980!!!?!" Scorch does not react at all, just keeps rambling on. Scorch is so eager to get to his next bad joke that he ignores someone literally screaming at him 2 feet away.

[@Eightsixseven23224]

@Lil' Connor Peterson I would imagine Scorch views the world similar to what John Malikovich saw when he was transported into his own mind,Except they all have Scorch's head and they're saying "Know what I mean?"

The thing I find funniest about Weird News, that they never mention, is how the stories are rarely weird and usually just horrible. It's just a man reading out grim news stories with no punchlines and laughing over them as though their funny.

[@followingtheroe1952]

Thats what makes it so funny, your expectation isnt met, and the anticlimax is the punchline. Their punchline isnt funny, the silence afterwards is

[@olivertaylor4225]

​@@followingtheroe1952 I think that's what the guys find funny - Scorch's terrible delivery, the lack of jokes... - but there is even a step before that. I don't think the stories ever had a chance to be funny as they are just fundamentally bad content for radio. The stories aren't weird at all, they're usually just quite a bleak crimes.

I love the look on the sidekick's face when Scorch gives the cardboard box line. He's baffled, like he can't believe that was the punch line. Scorch calls him out and he rushes to say "It was fine.

Scorch is what you'd get if you were doing an Anton LaVey biopic and, for whatever reason, you decided to cast Nick Offerman.

[@SmokingGun4570]

I’ve noticed a pattern. Almost all the best O&A segments, Opie is trying to put an end to them as quick as possible. He truly didn’t understand what made the show funny. Nobody remembers most of the hackey bits, callers, or soundboard abuse, but the organic riffing is legendary. You know if it’s a good segment if Opie is like “alright we gotta make this quick, we gotta get to (XYZ)”

[@XXthekingofyouXX]

“We got a lot to get to today”

[@enjoyer6201]

Yet for every 20 clips people obsessively watch all these years later on KZbin, at least 13 or 14 of them were Opie’s idea, or something he brought to the show, or something brought to the show by the producers he hand selected. Opie is the one that brought mocking scorch to the show in the first place. Anthony and Jim did absolutely nothing behind the scenes, and it’s actually a rarity that one of their classic bits had nothing to do with Opie. But keep revising history because the guy who literally got caught grooming someone he thought was a 15 year old girl told you to hate the guy who started the program. Keep doing that. Look at Anthony’s show. Look at anything Jimmy has done after Opie and Anthony. All of it sucks. All of it. Anthony couldn’t be funny anymore if his life depended on it. Then they had the temerity to call him paranoid while they were personally operating Twitter accounts mocking him behind his back, and going on message boards and talking shit about him and leaking information about him anonymously until people figured out who they were. Calling him paranoid while they’re actually doing the things he thinks they are doing. I get that he was an asshole, very difficult to work with, I understand all that. But to diminish his importance to the show is a revision of history. One that some people will gladly suck up because the literal domestic-abusing ephebophile told them to.

[@CoryW-h3q]
