I find Jay Leno's comedy routines decidedly unfunny (and a bit homophobic).
I also don't laugh at gross, juvenile, slapstick humor. (e.g. There's Something About Mary, American Pie, etc.)

i understand how the tonight show's writers might want me to think jay leno's comedy routines are SUPPOSED to be funny, but they're just weak. i think he's meant to be targeted toward elderly people in the midwest or something - he's kind of like the MCL/Laughner's Cafeteria of comedy.

gross humor is fine to me as long as there's a point to it, even if that point is irreverence...i really don't like the farrelly brothers' movies because they don't commit to their gross-out humor. it's used to draw you in, in hopes that you'll fall for the sappy boy-meets-girl formula that all their movies end up moving toward. i can almost hear someone saying "but seriously, folks..." before the last third of their movies.

probably because tv execs decided that people who would watch a show called "blue collar" will only appreciate stupid, insulting humor. it's as if "roseanne" never happened...

Imago.....

IrresistibleB1tch said:

I have never even made it past the words blue collar comedy, that and knowing foxworthy is on it

Anxiety said:

i've been watching reruns of Roseanne and Grace Under Fire lately - both were SUCH great shows!

believe it or not, he's bearable compared to that Tater idiot...

oh, and hi, sweetie!

IrresistibleB1tch said:

Hi, good to see you


I was once addicted to Rosanne, but I think I have burnt out on it recently. My memory of Grace is that it had enormus up and down swings in quality. Neither of them had Foxworthy in them though

paintsprayer said:

everybody now...!

WHEW!!!!!

I don't like blue comedians to some extent. Since when was being crude all that funny? I particularly hate racist, bigots like Roy 'Chubby' Brown and Bernard Manning.

I'll never understand the whole Seinfeld thing, what is so funny about that guys comedy?

Abdul said:

seinfeld the comedian is an "either you get it or you don't" kind of thing, but i think the television show had great plots, characters, and comic timing. i'd venture to say the magic of that show had more to do with larry david and the ensemble cast than it had to do with jerry seinfeld.

Anxiety said:

Julia Luis Dreyfuss was a genius on that show. I love physical humor, she's great at it. Actually everyone on the show was except Jerry. I loved the show but never liked his stand-up.


M

jackass that's just stupid and not funny at all

Howard Stern

Jay Leno with his chin is wack humor wise at times. But, his band kicks ass. I noticed some of his punchlines have imporved a little since he hired Stuttering John. My favorite episode was when he had P on that time.

Agreed.

Soulofmysoul said:

Oh yeah Howard Stern has NEVER made me laugh..not once!

For me, it's pretty much all the SNL folks from the last 10 or so years: Adam Sandler, Jimmy Fallon, Tina Fey, Ratchel Dratch, David Spade, Molly Shannon, and even (sorry) Chris Farley. It's like you've stumbled into the world's most annoying frat party.

The exceptions for me are Will Ferrell, some of Cheri Oteri's stuff and that woman who did Celine.

ana gasteyer! i'm going to see her play the lead role of the wicked witch in "wicked" this friday! apparently, she's got a great voice and she's doing an awesome job.

there were maybe two or three good seasons of SNL in the past 15 years, back when will farrell, molly shannon, ana gasteyer and cheri oteri had first gotten cast. it was a time when SNL had nothing left to lose so they were experimenting with different kinds of humor and letting the writers and cast members get a little "out there". funny how that kind of risk-taking will save the show, but as soon as it's popular again it goes right back to stupid high school humor and lazy cheap jokes. i guess in another five years or so, it'll be good again for a season or two.

foxworthy..margaret cho.. and sandra bernhart
ohh yeah and martin too

ella731 said:

Martin Lawrence?


OMG. No.

ella731 said:

oh, you need to reconsider sandra bernhard, she's a riot.

Anxiety said:

That's her name...thanks. It just goes to show that the most talented, non-ego-driven comedians from SNL often get ignored!

Anxiety said:

there are moments when she almost seems funny, then she does that face..and I feel like i want to shoot her all over again

ella731 said:

i guess she's not for everybody, but i think she's amazingly witty, and wonderfully bitchy when she wants to be.

Anxiety said:

I saw her around 1999 I think. I went with one of my guy friends and he said he has never been in a room with so many butch lesbians at one time.
