Fan from New Zealand. Best show I've found recently. I'm a huge fan of old school o&a
Welcome aboard!
I remember seeing ants tweets in real time 😂
You’re right context is important, and Anthony has always had a problem. He’s actually lucky he kept his job as long as he did.
Good job with these shows 👍
Thanks!
This is the key thing. You can't censor what someone says online. Sure, companies & websites can decide what they will allow on their site. But individuals aren't allowed to decide what is acceptable on the base level of the users of the service. It's the creators decision on what's allowed. Sirius, XM, FM radio, the FCC decided what they permitted. I'm not saying go into the street and start calling people British cigarettes or dropping N-bombs for no reason. I'm only saying that people should be allowed to say whatever they want. When individuals start telling people what they can or cannot say, the humans lose an important distinction from other animals. Speech is a major tool we have, and having others decide on a base level what we are and aren't allowed to say is subtracting from that freedom.
I've had twitch, CZcams, Facebook, Instagram accounts banned for what I choose to say. It won't stop me from getting banned again. It's my freedom to say the racist, sexist, xenophobic, homophobic, "not transphobic because that's aren't a real thing" comments that eventually get me banned. You take the good with the bad. But it's still my right to say what I want. Even if the others around me find it offensive. Anthony is a funny guy who says funny things. A great example is the rant while he was streaming. That was all funny stuff. Everyone is so soft and quick to act offended. It's gross.
Working class Anthony would say "if you want to help me stop stealing 30% of my money via taxes"
Colin Quinn used the term "savages" frequently. Of course Jimmy picked it up (like so many other phrases-baby boy) and Ant started using it as well. It was never about race but about behavior
Another line he pilfered and commonly used around 2005-2015: ‘shut yer face!!’
I wasnt laughing when he was fired
Me neither, but I distinctly heard Opie giggle in the distance
@@PrincipledUncertainty Proberly high up in his apartment
Yea, Op is a douche
Yeah he leans right.... into sue lightings bussy. Feed nana
I would.
God...DAMN!
I'm not sure if it's a good thing or a bad thing but I basically agree with your opinion but I'll admit I'm a Cumia "fan"
What's Kirk opinion on Opie and Anthony and that cancellation??? Did Kirk know them?
Trying to edit gameplay here dudes. Cant distract me with a BMP
Exactly Mike...Anthony is a articulate fellow
Did Antonio think she was gonna come back and argue? Why didn't he take cover? Run? Show his gun! Anything but let her punch you!!!
Yeah it’s really convenient when driving or doing something that requires your attention that would result in you listening to an audio production rather than video to start searching the timeline in hopes that a promotion ends. Not that I even think you go on too long.
Damn Mike I thought we were about the same age but I’m 12 years older
Funny how Howard Stern use to get away with the same thing. WTF?
It is a shame that Cumia is a racist and a cynical misanthrope in general because he is really funny. I guess the key to appreciating him is just not taking what he says seriously. In real life maybe he is a good guy. I've heard people say that he really is and everything else is an act.
Shock! Horror! It's possible to have certain cultural views brought on by a lifetime of experiences and observations and still be a good person.
I've certainly never heard of Anthony showing any sort of active IRL prejudice against black people in terms of who he is friends with and who he has on his network.
What is wrong with being a racist anyway?
@@RolandDeschain1 so he just shit talks black ppl as a whole but he's nice to the ones he knows IRL? Thats not being a good person, pretty sure that's called cowardice.
@@RolandDeschain1 not even pat cooper went on the type of rants anthony does
Sometimes, the truth hurts.
AC is a legend. He always keeps it real
Any chance for an episode on Robert Klein? I legitimately don't understand why people are laughing or why he can't stop his legs.
Interesting. We'll look into him!
Recently he tweeted out a story about some high school students who were killed in a school bus crash on the way to a marching band competition. No joke, no other context, just "LOL" because some black kids died. Pretty indefensible. Depressing how much these Dabbleverse types still look up to this pos.
lol
He’s in a quick cognitive decline. People with early onset dementia are cagey like that. His disgusting, predictable racism has always been there but his advanced age and addiction issues are accelerating it. He has fulfilled his USS Water Buffaler nightmare.
Mike you aren't a racist, but I did hear that you were gay
That's a different Blind Mike.
@@victorcastle5757They’re all over the place here.
He did a TACS episode in response to that getting posted.
I believe the defense was he was playing it up for Nick's audience. Again, is there some truth and reality to his racism in that act? I think so. But he also has been broadcasting or over a decade and definitely plays up or overreacts for the crowd/gag.
I mean anytime a guest would come on the show, and ask if he was a racist, he would say he was.
Was he joking? Was he playing it up for the crowd? Was he but it did not interfere with the show? Was it due to upbringing? Only Anthony knows
They were very proud of themselves for how honest and genuine they were. So yeah…you can trust what he’s said is true.
#Deletetheapp hahahaha
#PayCraig he needs suntan lotion....
Feed Nana.
Anthony Cumia is the Anakin Skywalker of comedy
How so?
Thinking about what you said, yeah.
@@BlindMikeProject Anthony had so much natural talent when it came to comedy. It poured outta him without even trying. Patrice used to say nobody could access funny like Anthony. But his anger has always been his Achilles heel. Getting fired from Sirius was his Mustafar moment. After that he doubled down n went all in on the racism.
@@ricardocantoral7672 he was so naturally funny that I can't help but still root for him
@@BlindMikeProject Patrice used to say nobody accessed funny like Anthony. He had a raw natural talent for comedy that despite his faults made him likable. His Sirius firing was his Mustafar moment and he's triple downed on the racism ever since.
