No WONDER Louie Anderson is pissed: he's an untalented lardass

[datasuspect]

who should be consigned to the scrap heap of comedy history like yakov smirnoff and be forced to dwell in branson for eternity.

[RandomThoughts]

1. It might seem to you

That he doesn't do anything, or never did anything.

But according to Wiki, he started as a counselor for troubled children, has writen three books, and has many years of acting and stand up.

Maybe he worked hard enough to earn his place in the Comedy Central's top 100 comics of all time.

Or is it just the weight issue?

[datasuspect]

2. he needs to be banished to branson

andrew dice clay has guys like louie anderson in his stool.

[RandomThoughts]

5. Not my favorite type of comedy.

Never really liked his style.

(speaking of dice clay)

[datasuspect]

7. andrew dice clay should have his own teevee channel

[Orrex]

17. And he should be executed on it 24 hours a day for the rest of eternity

I'm hard pressed to name a "comedian" less funny than ADC.

Maybe Pauly Shore.


But naming Pauly Shore on a "most unfunny" list is truly the nuclear option.

[GoneOffShore]

22. I don't think I'd even bother to watch that.....

Maybe in edited re-runs. Just the really "funny" bits.

As long as I didn't have to listen to Pauly Shore's commentary.

[Orrex]

18. All of that might be true, but...

I've heard his standup routines countless times over the past 25 years or so, and I can't say that he's ever made me laugh.

YMMV, of course, but the "weight issue" has nothing to do with it.

3. It's a living.

4. us 65 goes both ways through branson

for most people.

it terminates in branson for louie anderson.

[JVS]

6. Why the sudden hate-on for Anderson?

[datasuspect]

8. i hate yakov smirnoff probably just as much

[JVS]

9. In Soviet Russia Yakov Smirnov hates YOU!

:rofl:

[Bertha Venation]

20. OMG

:rofl: :thumbsup:

[RandomThoughts]

10. does it help

you to share your hatred with others? I have never understood that need.

It seems you may have other issues then just a couple random comics you picked, if so, explain. Would love to hear about it.

[datasuspect]

12. yes, it does

it keeps the voices in my head that incessantly say "why do they come to me to die" at bay.

[RandomThoughts]

13. I see

sounds bad. I hope it all works out for you.

Maybe people have different ways to handle frustration/anger. I just try and let it go, don't like the feeling.

Although I can linger into passive agressive, but hey nobody is perfect.

:) Good luck with everything :)

11. hmmm.

"Lardass."

Although it doesn't matter what you think, it has been ingrained in me for 20+ years that because I am fat, I am defective.

He's not a comedian I search out. I appreciate though that he came from the projects, that he used to be a counselor for abused kids, and that he still does a lot of work for the homeless.

14. +1

We could do without the bigotry here.

[Deep13]

19. As a lardass myself, I'm not willing to pretend that I am not fat...

...or that being fat is not a disorder. Nevertheless, in this context it seems like a cheap shot that is irrelevent to Anderson's humor or lack thereof.

[Systematic Chaos]

15. Thanks, from a fellow lardass.

The Lounge would have been much better off without this OP.

[Deja Q]

16. John Lennon is a bigger joke.
