But not exposing the racism in all of us, making people think, etc. No, its about making money. This kind of humor has become overused and passe, not even making me feel uncomfortable. Its just dull and lame.<br /><br />I miss George Carlin.idohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04182559907045813643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4647347951643678479.post-50123049525079310312009-11-04T22:46:25.311-08:002009-11-04T22:46:25.311-08:00^^^ Thank you!

It just went over the heads of nearly everyone here. The joke's on YOU, and your responses are exactly what Dice intended -- to make you feel uncomfortable. Andy Kauffman did the same thing, never ever breaking character, no matter what. You guys wouldn't have got him, either.

This was recorded in an unannounced, unplanned performance at Dangerfield's in NYC. ONLY Dice has the balls to go up and show that you don't need "laughter" to have COMEDY. In Part 1, he says it himself. The point was to go up, make fun of the audience, make up BS bits, and see who laughs. In tDtLD Part 1, there is a track called "Hour Back! Get it?". If you want to learn what comedy is all about, find that track. His dirty moron act is a REFLECTION of the people he and we have to deal with on a daily basis. "People are pricks! That's why I do this act!" He's said it himself. Get over yourselves and get into one of the purest comedy albums of all times!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4647347951643678479.post-90779768016530814082009-10-23T11:22:45.682-07:002009-10-23T11:22:45.682-07:00Thanks, Ty.

But the subculture's in a good place now because we're one full generation past the mistakes of the "CRAZY WIVES N' FAGGOTS! HUH? HUH?" boom of the late 80's. <br /><br />I agree 100% on Mitch Hedberg, the man was untouchable. That, and Louis CK and Patton Oswalt are also two of the best working today. Patton's latest album is killer, if you haven't heard it yet. Todd Barry's latest stuff, too. http://badyearmedia.blogspot.com/search?q=todd+barryHi Denny!!https://www.blogger.com/profile/10059584064717813921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4647347951643678479.post-87473823037200121872008-11-03T11:02:00.000-08:002008-11-03T11:02:00.000-08:00Cool, thanks, SPotlight.
