Dennis Miller, <end thread>
Dennis in his early years was super funny, he's not as funny now but he's always brilliant. I don't even always agree with him. I frankly love the refernces. Anyone that can make a Mata Hari reference on a joke about baseball is someone I want to listen to.
He is behind Eddie Murphy, Richard Pryor, Dave Chappelle, Ron White, Cheech & Chong, classic Carlin, and I'd even put Mitch Hedberg over Dice
if not more. Greg Geraldo standup was immaculate. but he died too young to get any more samples from him. Add Dangerfield in there, add Rodney Carrington in there.
You can be funny and not be the GREATEST OF ALL TIMES.
I mean Jim Gaffigan is funny, Jeff Foxworthy is funny, Bert Kreischer is funny, you can go old school Red Fox, or Bob Newhart. ALL REALLY Funny, but not the best. of all times.
Yep exactly, I said this:
Not saying he's the best comedian of all time, simply that this is the best stand-up act I've ever seen,
Diceman Cometh is a referential act. It all comes together, the crowd is in on the act, and by that I mean not just quoting nursery rhymes, but in on the joke.
I happen to like dick, pussy, and fart jokes, Williams and Carlin are two great filthy comedians, and so is Mel Brooks, at least with the farts.
Bill Burr is a cuck who once made female jokes about all women, and racial jokes about how ridiculous it is to have another film about bad white people (Hey, get outta da pool!) to explaining to British audiences at Royal Albert Hall why white women are privileged and making a careful distinction that he doesn't mean black women. Probably because his wife is black.
I mean if it wasn't for that careful explanation of modern Privilege Cancel-Culture politics, I could understand it. I wouldn't want to insult my wife either. But she knew what he was going in and now Bill is licking high-heels.
Wait, you're right. That IS fucking hilarious 🤣
