Am I the only one, or does Patrice's laugh make you want to take a chainsaw to your throat? It's so fuckin' forced, over the top. I think he's a funny guy, he has his moments, but he's nowhere near as good a third mic'er as say Billy Burr. And when he steps on what the bbboys are saying, especially Anthony, I wish someone would attack that goofy gorilla with a bi-plane.

I dont think it's forced. I think it's just his laugh. He is a large fellow with a large laugh, and I dont give a fuck about it, he cracks me up so he can laugh as loud and obnoxiously as he wants.

Patrice seems forced to me on the radio. Great standup but I'd take Jimmy, Bill, Rich or Adam over him on the show.

I think his energy is fantastic! Same here. I used to not like him at all back on Tough Crowd but now I think he's hysterical. I definitely get some good laughs from him.

I love patrice but for some reason his mic must be turned a lil lower than the other boys cause his laughs and his screaming really blast through the speakers. Still I enjoy what he does for the show.

I love when Patrice is on the show, he brings a different kind of energy that Jimmy or Bill don't. I don't think his laugh is forced I just think that is his personality to be a loud person.

Fuck that, Rich and Adam aren't half as entertaining as Patrice. Sure he plays the race card a little much, but he's funnier than fuck

Patrice's laugh makes me laugh.

He and Anthony are really good together. I love listening to them develop a bit. And it's obvious that Patrice finds Anthony really funny, same as I do. So, he's got that going for him.

I'm a big fan of Patrice's laugh. At times he reaches a really high pitch and it cracks me up. He's got a great laugh that makes me want to laugh. Patrice is great.

He definitely needs a better manager and support people to reach the next level. He deserves to be making better money. The brotha's need to hook him up with somekind of show on the WB. :icon_lol:

alexan11
12-06-2005, 11:16 PM
Yeah, I agree, his energy is a great-- but he tries way too hard, and as far as the screaming laugh, whoever said turn down the volume on his mic is brilliant. MORE GOODER IDEA!

Patrice is awesome. I feel like laughing every time I hear that laugh; it's contagious. Jimmy's definitely the best 3rd mic, but it's a close call between Billy and Patrice.

I think the way Patrice contributes to the show is in the same vein as the laugh track on your favorite tv comedy such as "Married With Children".....

He doesn't really have huge witty one liners....but he's generally funny...and his overall energy and laughter make jokes that are already funny....seem even funnier......

I was BEGGING for him to come on after that bomb Voss and his hole wife dropped...... god do they suck......I take Patrice anyday of the week over Voss.....Burr is great also......

PopeDX
12-06-2005, 11:27 PM

Yeah, if a bunch of whities call you "Black Earl" because of your clothing and not because you're black, you aren't very black.

Patrice rules on third mic. The laugh isn't forced, it's just his diaphragm has a lot of lard pushing against it. Gotta push that off to laugh...

Patrice's laugh is just fine. He's a huge asset for the show. If I can't have Jimmy, I want Patrice.

patrice is great on the radio, he fits right in. plays the race card a little too much, at some points it's not needed at all but you can feel him about to bring it up, but that's where a lot of his off the cuff humor stems from. i love to hear him on the radio for a couple of days in a row out of the month.


matter of fact, not to knock lil jimmy at all, but this whole rotation shit is great

I can't decide with pushed laugh is worse, Bob Kelly's of Patrice's. Both go RIGHT through me.....

He never lacks for something to say. Got the gift of gab.
He is quit loud and overbearing on a show with 3 people though.

yeah patrice rocks and is funny as shit. i love hearing the comical nigga side of things. however there is no doubt that that fuckin laugh is so forced. that is the only thing that drives me nuts about him is you can easily tell he's faking that hard loud laugh to make something seem funnier than what it is whether he said it or the boys. patrice you are one funny and quick fuck, dont ruin it with the forced shit. some of us are somewhat intelligent and can easily tell when it's not authentic.

Patrice makes for the best radio ever on O&A, laugh and all. The show is all over the fukkin place when he sits in. Im a HUGE fan of the Patrice on O&A Anybody who would prefer hearing Voss' slobber talk over Patrice's infectuous laugh is crazy.

Sandman9R

Patrice adds an element to the show that, dare I say it, neither Jimmy nor Bill can add. They each have their characteristics but goddamn, Patrice fans the flames.

12-07-2005, 01:04 AM
For anyone who doesn't think Patrice's laugh is contagious, go watch the 3rd clip that Steve posted of the Tourette's comic today. Patrice starts whooping after the guy jumps and damn near sings falsetto. The clip was funny enough on its own, but when O'Neal starts cracking up it multiplies it by 10. He's a gem.

Patrice's laugh is a great thing to wake me up in the morning. He gets things started right away. I mean, there is no replacing Jimmy, but when he's not there, Patrice is awsome. I would like to see Patrice team up with Earl on Earl's Black Rock show, taking Earl's great knowledge of music, and adding a "laughter" to the show would make it a hit I think. I know I would go out of my way to listen to it.

I love Patrice's laugh. Little Jimmy has a fairly distinct laugh as well. Burr is low key usually, but he has that signature "Oh, My God" thing.

What makes the three of them great, individually, is their intelligent commentary. Burr, I think, is the smartest of the three (not withstanding Jimmy's vocabulary), but the other too aren't far behind.

murphymj
12-07-2005, 09:34 AM
The only thing I would change about Patrice is his proclivity towards reducing every topic to a black vs. white thing (e.g. yesterday's saving money/planning bit).

Jesus Christ you guys complain about nothing so much. Patrice is a big black guy and anyone who's watched Showtime at the apollo knows that fat black guys laugh like they've ruptured a hernia. I think Patrice is one of the best comics they've ever had on third mike and I'd want him to replace Jimmy if he quit and went to hollywood permanently.

EXACTLY!

It's damn fuckin annoying.

It appears that he doesn't get the basic radio premise that only ONE person at a time can speak.

He has ROONED more than he has brought to the show.

And he beats a bad joke/dead horse to death.

He doesn't have a clue when to SHUT THE FUCK UP!

He must believe it's not the Opie and Anthony Show, but the Opie, Anthony, and All I Got IS Race Jokes Show.

I love when his laugh is comepletely over the top but sometimes it sucks when he steps on people (with his laugh or just talking). Gotta agree with the people who are a little tired with the race thing too.

I really and truly don't get the Patrice thing. I understand that he seems to be universally loved, but I think he's about the most clueless radio personality I've ever heard. Half the time he takes the bit in the wrong direction when it's obvious where the funny is. The other half of the time he's setting up a joke but takes fucking forever to get there - and the payoff isn't even that great.

He does it constantly but one that comes to mind is the other day when he kept on about "The tree is blowing in the wind. The bird sits high upon the mountain." OK, OK, we get it - spies use wacky code phrases. His weren't funny at all, but he kept on and on and on with them. And when he went off on Menino "dedicating this black." Sure, the word "plaque" sounds like "black", but it wasn't because Menino was saying it. The whole reason for playing the clip was because there were some other words that Menino garbled.

Sure, he laughs really loud and occasionally says something funny, but he just doesn't work for me in this environment. As I've said before, I think he's probably a good comedian because of his ability to write jokes. Jimmy is a good comedian because he can improv. Improv is the key to being funny on the radio, where you can't know the material going into the gig.

I don't even dislike his laugh that much or his constant racial humor. He's just slow and tedious and doesn't seem to be on the same page as the rest of the group.

You guys seem to love him, so I guess I understand why the bbboys keep asking him back. I just miss Jimmy being quick, witty, and dead on.

The only one that doesn't step all over Anthony is Bill Burr. The funniest stretches of radio come when Jimmy is gone and Bill is participating at opportune moments. Opie sets up Anthony perfectly to go off and do his thing.

Exactly. Bill yelling shit out the window at that custodian was hilarious. I think Bill's problem is that he's just not completely comfortable with the whole set-up yet, so he doesn't feel right piping up. He'll get there.

I really want to give Patrice a chance, but I just don't get it. Can you guys post particular bits or jokes he made that you thought were funny? I keep hearing laugh and energy, but there has to be more than that.

I find the shows with Patrice to be kind of frustrating. O&A and the guests all tend to be constantly yelling and struggling to get their lines out before getting stepped on by a painful shreak of laughter or a comment from Patrice that shows he isn't listening to what's being said. How many times have you heard Anthony make an insightful comment coming at the topic from a different angle only to be stepped on by Patrice and then have to explain himself several times before he shuts up long enough to get the joke. I'm also put off a bit by how racist Patrice is, everything is always race. I understand that's his schtick but it gets old for me, especially when he drags a topic that direction when it's headed for radio gold if he'd just leave it alone for a few seconds. I noticed it took a few days for Bill Burr to get the flow of the show and understand that his turn to speak will come, O&A obviously watch for cues that their 3rd has a line to deliver and give him the floor. Once Bill quickly got in tune with the flow of the show, his being 3rd turned into some of the best shows going (Anthony's chef, don't mention Chapelle etc.). It might sound like I don't like Patrice, but I really do like his humor and energy. I think that Anthony having trouble with his voice today is from yelling over Patrice and having to blurt out everything at double speed. Even the Twitchell piece, which was absolute gold, would have been platinum if after the betting and the sideshow was over, he had been able to complete just one of his stories without having Patrice shreak with laughter at a tick and then not let the guy get back to the story. It is exactly why he is trying to shed light on Terretts(sp?), imagine going through life having that happen every time you try to say anything, never being able to get to a punchline or finish a story. Bottom line for me, Patrice is great and does a good job for the show, (half hulk face! haaaaa!) if only he could take a break once in awhile from the shreaking, yelling and racism and let the magic that is the O&A show flow.

I really and truly don't get the Patrice thing.
If you don't understand Patrice's humor then just choke yourself now.

I think Patrice is GREAT on the show. You can hear the levels get pinned and distort everytime he laughs. Whatever though... he is a great addition to the show.

I like Norton, but I also like Patrice and the others. The show is much more alive with Patrice. He brings an energy to the show early. All the other comics don't get started till about an hour in. But yet at the same time if Patrice was on everyday he might get old. It's hard to say.

I love the way the show has been lately. Someone fresh every week. Unless Norton does something to ruin his LA thing, everybody better get use to the other comics. They all are great.

I also like it when it's just O&A. Sometimes three people just talk over each other too much.

The main point is that I just love O&A no mater who is on the show. I useto have a few radio shows I would listen in on but I could miss days on end with out even a care about what I missed. Then I listened to O&A. It was the funnies show that ever heard. I wake up every morning and look forward to listening to every bit of the show. I don't care who is on or what they talk about. It's all radio gold.

my vote: Jim Norton for PERMANENT 3rd mic (unless he's off making movies or something), and rotate the other guys around for 4th mic. nothing's better then when there's two comics on shitting on each other, whether it's Norton / Vos, Norton / Patrice, Vos / Patrice, Bill Burr / anybody...... you get the idea. more comics more gooder

love his laugh, he's fucking hilarious. not everyone does the same thing, he laughs loud and asks the boys a lot of good questions and I love it. I think he just gets real excited and thats when he walks on people. Rarely though does he step on a line, usually he just talks over people during questions and stuff.

I dont know if anyone said this and I also understand it might not be humorous, but his laugh reminds me of Ant's, 'cheeekin' getting banged impression.

Patrice needs to understand the levels of satellite radio suck.

To his immense credit, I thought Patrice was better yesterday. It really seemed like he was waiting for opportunities to say something (instead of constantly trying to jump in with something funny). His jokes didn't seem as forced (long build-up, weak pay-off), and the show was more entertaining as a result.

I thought he was scoring about 60% of the time (as opposed to his usual 15%). I actually found myself laughing at his stuff, which I'm not sure I've done since he's been coming on.

Yesterday was much better shit for him. I could become a Patrice fan if he keeps going in this direction.

I disagree, and I think you're in the minority here. I'd say about 75% of my favorite shows have been with Bill. I think him and Anthony work the absolute best together (of all the fill-ins)...from DWI stories, to old warehouse stories, to random discussions about candy bars...Bill and Ant somehow have a way of making it hilarious.

I like Patrice a lot, and I've found that while I don't laugh as much when he's on, he's still very entertaining to listen to. I like how he asks the guys really personal questions about their radio ordeals. It really gives a lot of insight on subjects that O&A certainly wouldn't bring up on their own.

patrice is the man, second only to lil jimmy! someone stated that patrice was to slow for the show. noway is he any slower than bill burr. billy just sits there with his thumb up his ass, hardly commenting unless O&A tell him to. and patrice is a helluva lot better than Vos. i say patrice as a perment stand in for jimmy when hes gone!

u dont think Patrice drops the "...I realized this about white people...." card too much? I like his act, I just think he seems to try to hard on the show.

Compared to what the boys say about black people??:icon_roll No, not really. I think he counters them pretty well.:icon_cool

Lil Jimmy IS the permanent 3rd mike...just this small hollywood thing he is doing prevents him from being in two places at once....I do like the guest 3rd mike thing in his absence....patrice and bill burr are my two favs.

I agree. Friday Patrice seemed a bit more reserved and really had some awesome (not a black guy saying awesome...) comments. I mean, "time for you to be a coach" hahhhahahaha!!! I think it just takes some time for a 3rd to settle in and get the timing thing. Jimmy is very respectful of the timing, even to the point of appologising if he steps on a line, Bill said very little for a few shows until he got into the swing and started doing whole bits, Patrice just started in full speed and over the top. Face it, all 3 are amazing comics. I think the more Patrice does the show the better he'll get. It's great when Patrice takes a joke to the screaming point, just not all the time and Friday it was a few times and was great radio.

His laugh may be real but it often sounds forced because he laughs so long and loud at shit that just isn’t that funny. It’s a lot like what Ron & Fez were talking about a few days ago; the morning zoo shows where when one person is talking, the other people in the studio keep laughing constantly; to indicate where the funny part is because it’s not that funny. I agree Patrice is great on the show but I hate his over the top, drawn out, too loud laughs.

edit: Shit, I’ve been registered 5 months and that was my first post.

When Patrice laughs, it sounds like when one chimpanzee, catches another chimpanzee, grooming it's mate.

Am I the only one, or does Patrice's laugh make you want to take a chainsaw to your throat? It's so fuckin' forced, over the top. I think he's a funny guy, he has his moments, but he's nowhere near as good a third mic'er as say Billy Burr. And when he steps on what the bbboys are saying, especially Anthony, I wish someone would attack that goofy gorilla with a bi-plane.

Nah it's just you bro. Well you and a handful of racists who hate the Knitters.

There was this caller one time who said that Anthony's laugh makes him laugh even more. That's what I get when I hear Patrice start to laugh, I fuckin crack up.
It's also because I know it's coming, like in the case of the comic douche with tourettes.
There was complete silence while they were timing him, then even seconds before the tourettes kicks in, I start to laugh because I know those 2 mother fuckers(ant and patrice) are gonna be the first to lose it.

Patrice's laugh just is an example of the high energy he brings to the show. Plus I'm really starting to buy his theroies when it comes to women and dating.
