Frank the Frowner

From OAPedia.com

Frank the Frowner is an impression done by lil' Jimmy Norton. It involves him distorting his face into an over-exaggerated frown and talking through it. Though he still appears on occasion (mainly just to deliver a variation of his signature catchphrase), along with Boardroom Jimmy, he is considered the precursor of Ted Sheckler.

Origin of Frank

During the final hour of the June 27, 2006 episode of The Opie and Anthony Show, Opie, Anthony, and Jimmy were discussing The Daily Dump Report. The majority of the content on the dumpsheet was within FCC guidelines, yet still dumped out of during the Free FM portion of the show. Among these dumps was the phrase "I hope a dog teabags you" (Jim Norton as Steve from Yellowstone), which was directed at Fran from Little Shelter as well as "Hemorrhoid in his ass" (In-studio guests, The Dudesons) and "Take a poo that glows in the dark" (The Dudesons, again).

This incited a conversation between Opie and Anthony on empowering words, during which Opie says "they're just words" and Jimmy responds in a slurry, stroke-victimish voice, "That's a good point." The exchange between Opie and Anthony dissolves as Opie says laughing, "Can we do a show called 'New Character Day'?" and Anthony and Jimmy proceed to do funny voices, the third of which is Frank the Frowner.

The Catchphrase

• He is cousins with Frank the Angry Typing Guy. (The Opie & Anthony Show - 06-28-2006 - XM show)
• As a child, when Frank visited Disney World, Mickey Mouse and Goofy would ask him "why are you so sad little boy?" During this sad moment, Frank was forced to explain that he was not sad, but that his face simply did not know how to react to anything, but sadness. After this, Goofy attempted to tell Frank that it takes more muscles to frown than smile, but Frank cut him off, shouting "I know, I know - I've heard that before!" (The Opie & Anthony Show - 06-28-2006 - XM show)
