Cue oc, brettgardner
I had a paper route when I was a kid. I was supposed to go to 2,000 houses. Or two dumpsters.
While this didn't exactly make me pee my pants with laughter, I have to salute its ambition.

Really?
I just watched it in order to give it a fair chance, but my God—it is terrible. That’s no bit. I just can’t imagine why that would be funny to anyone.
I saw that comedian doing a standup special last night as well, and I can definitively say now that he certainly fits in on whatever the fuck this clip is from.

You just don't like him
because he is your intellectual equivalent.
Like OC said, its not piss yourself funny, but I thought it was pretty funny for some parts. The acid tripping guy was probably the best.
By 2028, Mark Teixeira will be in the HOF.

Oh.
I still don’t understand your point, though. I don’t like him—at least the standup that I saw—because the special wasn’t funny.
I enjoy plenty of comedians who are by far my intellectual superior.

And your sense of humor...
it’s something to behold.
"I know you're a bit dense but no, it doesn't. Obviously lying isn't a problem for me."
Thanks.
Maybe if I talk about the lamest, whitest, tamest comics I could better demonstrate “getting it”?
It’ll take time, ben. There are only so many Last Comic Standings a week, you know.

David Cross...
could be described in many ways, but “tame” wouldn’t be one of them.
"I know you're a bit dense but no, it doesn't. Obviously lying isn't a problem for me."
Really?
Well admittedly I’m going by one standup act and a few movies, but I haven’t seen anything I’d call shocking.
Unless saying, “I like drugs” is still edgy.

Well...
his material isn’t considered tame by most standards. Mr. Show, for instance, wouldn’t be considered “tame.”
"I know you're a bit dense but no, it doesn't. Obviously lying isn't a problem for me."
He was
Decent, and there were a few jokes I laughed at, but it was pretty standard fare.
That’s my standard for tame, though I can’t speak to anyone else’s. I would say though, that irreverent does not equal untame.

Mr. Show...
isn’t for everyone. I know some that really weren’t big fans of that show but still enjoy his standup.
I’d ask you to give his standup another shot. He has some pretty good stuff out there.

I haven’t done the Altered State of Druggachusetts as a Friday video before.

I thought it sucked
And that’s unfortunate, because I loved Will Arnett in Arrested Development. My girlfriend got me Let’s Go To Prison on DVD….and we weren’t together much longer.
I'm hoping...
that he posts the Bob Odenkirk video I sent him the other day.
"I know you're a bit dense but no, it doesn't. Obviously lying isn't a problem for me."
You need drugs...
…to live here. I’ve been here for 1 year and moving back to Texas soon…can’t wait to get the f outta here…7 degree wind chill is just stupid…
stoplights in austin suck
b/c every1 is stoned and it takes 5 extra seconds for these people to realize they need to go. well this goes on for 4 maybe 5 cars and only 3 make it through the light.
austin is great, just make sure ur on drugs.
mormons stole me and held me against my will with Oklahoma beer and 12+ hour work days.
Was i the only one who thought that was funny at around 2Min and played out by 3:30?

This is Mr. Show's formula: take an idea and abuse it.
Though I will admit that the ‘donut shop hipster’ sketch made me smile.

doesn't make sense does it?

Funny
Really? Maybe I am not smart enough to see how that if funny or I am not thinking there is supposed to be some deep meaning here that makes it funny. I dunno. Just thought it was about as funny as scooping dog poop
no, it's just not funny.
it’s stupid. I always think people who say this kind of stuff is funny are just saying it to look cool.

I'm just saying...
…that this video is funny because I want to look cool?
Judging from the comments, it would seem to have the opposite effect.
fwiw, a lot of the humor inherent in this is derived from the H.R. Pufnstuf show from back in the day, which this parodies. If you’ve never seen that, then this video doesn’t make as much sense.

If you wanted to...
post something to “look cool,” you’d use my userid.
"I know you're a bit dense but no, it doesn't. Obviously lying isn't a problem for me."
No
I’d post some Limp Bizkit. Because they are what is really cool now, right?
Or is it that Fall Down Boy band?
by Adam J. Morris on Jan 9, 2009 10:56 PM CST up reply actions
No, if you really wanted to be cool...
you’d post a video with the fat red headed kid from Sandlot in it.
"I know you're a bit dense but no, it doesn't. Obviously lying isn't a problem for me."
Judging from the replies
it looks like not too many people were exposed to HR PufnStuf or Sigmund the SeaMonster as a kid. I loved those shows so yeah the bit had a bit more resonance with me. Although if you haven’t seen the shows it’s parodying, I’d be surprised how anyone could make it past 2 minutes.
What's the rumpus?
Needs more Carlin.

LSJ to the rescue.
