30. Yes, though it's being very charitable to call it that. I know this because... |
|
Back when I worked in a library technical office in the mid-90s, one of the employees I supervised would listen to Pauly Shore tapes constantly. Sometimes she assaulted the rest of us by playing them on a boom box on her desk. <shudder>

26. It's a great impression, no doubt. |
|
The problem is, he does nothing with it. He just assumes the impression itself is funny, but there's no real joke with it. It's all set up, no punchline. Contrast that with other impressionists, for example Frank Calliendo, who at least attempt to go somewhere with the person they are attempting to impersonate.

58. The little Tortilla Boy IS the punchline |
|
The set-up is when he says that you can make anything interesting using the trailer voice. Then he launches into a near perfect impression of both the trailer voice and Schwartzenegger being a torilla boy.

34. As I mentioned in another post.... |
|
....I have a great respect of George Carlin for being one of the "founding fathers" of the modern era of stand up comics, along with people like Richard Pryor.
However, I never really liked him personally. I didn't really care for his style or his comedic takes on certain subjects. So while I respected the man for who he was, I was never personally much of a fan.
I will say, however, his monologue on baseball versus football will forever be a classic.

69. I saw the Breast Cancer Show episode last night. |

Holy crap that might be one of the funniest ones they've ever done.
Oh and for those that dont know the episode doesn't really have a whole lot to do with breast cancer, it's more of a parody of the movie "There Will Be Blood".

35. Don't remember the guy's name, but he toured with Lewis Black and Dave Attell. |
|
Lewis and Dave were great, as usual. But their opener was the most angry, misogynistic little asshole I've ever seen on a stage. He made Andrew Dice Clay look like a women's rights advocate by comparison. I don't think anyone in the audience laughed during his entire set.
