Honest review of this comedian.
April 26, 2021 at 12:10 pm
I cannot argue today, being in the past I grew up with young. I can understand that times change, and there is a retrospect to everything. When I first watched this clip back in the 80s, I wasn't thinking race, but "dumb jock". But, in retrospect, even today, I get nervous at some on the left attacking shows like The Simpsons, South Park, Futurama and Family Guy. 

I honestly loved the following clip, back then, because it was poking fun of jocks, and back then, I was bullied by jocks in HS. This comedian was making fun of jocks of all races, classes in the following clip. But even before he got to jocks, he was making fun of age of family members. 

I know how I feel even today about this following clip, but I don't know how younger generations view it.

Just FYI - weird behaviour doesn't get less weird when you repeat it.

If Rodney Dangerfield picked this comedian out, I don't see how my liking his humor could be less or more "weird" than Rodney

It you post a thing once and no one gives a shit, do you really think posting it again will help?

Liking him isn’t weird. Replying to your own posts is weird.

I thought the guy was funny at the time but haven't thought about it since.  Using an African American accent to portray someone who has been hit in the head too many times is bound to insult various people.  Concussions are nothing to joke about.  I don't like comedians who use a fake southern accent, though it's okay when Jagger does it.

At work.

When I was younger. I used to love listening to Dave Allen's lilt as he recited his tales. Then it was Billy Connelly. Lately it's been Dara O'Brien.

I also don't mind my Brother-in-law's Welsh lilt..... Though sometimes I've got to ask him to repeat things twice and generally slower on the second run through. Tongue

Listening to an Irish man tell a joke is a far cry from being a D!ck telling a joke about an Irish man.
