"Last Comic Standing:" So, what, is a New Yawk accent automatically funny?
There comedians couldn't make me laugh if I was being tickled and downing a huge Nitrous ballon at the same time. All of the white guys/gals are relying on their "New Yawk" accents to get the laughs for them.

Sorry, but just because you have an accent, it doesn't make you funny. You need MATERIAL, timing, and a sense of style to be a good comedian.

This show sucks. I hope all of them fail. None of them deserve to be successful. And there's no political comedy on there either.....

1. I hate those hacks.
There is not one iota of original material between them.

"I'm from New Yawk. My husband/boyfriend/brother/priest/rabbi is sooo horny..."

Please put these people out of our misery.

2. I never watch TV.
But tonight, my wife is at work, and I have no speakers for my stereo. So....now I realize why I never watch TV.


whoisalhedges is a lot funnier than these walking pathologies.

7. If he's ever been at a party of yours....
there'd be another sensory organ he'd be "amusing," too.


He went to my Chicago housewarming party and farted in one of my guest's faces; it smelled REALLY REALLY bad. (I'm not making this up.)

11. Lies!
I did no such thing. I discretely passed wind in the living room, not in anyone's face.

If you hadn't made such a big deal about it, I could have blamed it on the cat.

5. I don't get Kathleen Madigan being on that show.
She's been in the business for years, and is too talented to be hanging with the amateurs.

8. It's obvious she's polished.
Of all of them, she's the most poised and least given to grovelling. And she has no accent to lean on.

And Tammy Pescatelli is just on there because she's hot. Her "New Yawk" accent is the most pronounced.

9. Yeah, Tammy's sexy...
...but I'm still pulling for Kathleen. Good comics don't need a gimmicky reality show to succeed.
