Bill's Dead
From OAPedia.com
Bill's Dead is a classic Opie and Anthony bit where an old woman called the show by mistake and asked for someone named Bill. Opie goofed on her by saying Bill was killed in a car accident. Anthony does a great impression of the woman by imitating many of her lines from the call during other bits. Examples:
- "Pat."
- "You're kiddin'!"
- "Who is is this?"
- "How did it happen?"
- "I was just talking to him."
- "Aw, no."
- "Where?"
Years later, O&A recreated the phone call in Spanish in response to Mayor Bloomberg's recording campaign commercials in Spanish to appeal to Spanish-speaking voters.
