Yep.

And let's not forget the late Bill Hicks.
What I've found with a few discussions I've had lately is this self-satisfaction that people express with their proffessed open mindedness. In realty it ammounts to wilful ignorance and intellectual cowardice as they are choosing to not form any sort of opinion on a particular topic. Basically "I don't know and I'm not going to look at any evidence because I'm quite happy on this fence."

It's fucking piss poor beyond belief, but Curb Your Enthusiasm is towering genius. Larry David's career is the wrong way round.

I always liked Seinfeld, but CYE is absolute brilliance.

George Carling is amusing but Richard Pryor is rupture your viscera funny.
So too Billy Connelly and old Jack Dee.

No idea, since I don't watch TV. I did, however, just put Lucky Louie Season One in my amazon cart. Because I think Louie CK is very funny :biggrin:
People think "queue" is just "q" followed by 4 silent letters.

But those letters are not silent.

They're just waiting their turn.

My taste in comedy is mostly British. Though saying that, British sitcoms and standup have really gone down the pan lately. As for the colonies Canada has produced some funny guys:
