sp with the Pie bit. I posted as well in EB. I can delete. No need to be redundant and looks like you were up earlier. J. P. covers all the bases, well done.

I woke up this morning determined to drink less, eat right, and exercise.
But that was four hours ago when I was younger and full of hope.

@Socialprogressive . TY. The more eyes the better. Plus my comment doesn't make much sense without it. (So what else is new?)

Thanks for the post.

Thank you for Jonathan Pie. I think that brilliant comedians have a special talent for exposing so directly the state of the world and human nature, and for at least a moment spark another way of seeing reality. I also enjoy this comedian ...

Thanks for the Judah Friedlander clip. I had not seen him before.
Some good material in the trailer. I'll check him out on Netflix

I personally love George Carlin. "It's a big club, and you ain't in it." The sooner people realize this, the better off we all will be.

@Socialprogressive PLEASE tell me more.

I know Dina Hashem's not bad (but even she flinched when she got crybully-Hived for a totally mild joke about some worthless dead hip-hopper; she should've twisted the knife).

@Socialprogressive I saw a Lee Camp clip the other day - informative and brave, but I didn't find his Jerry-Lewis-meets-David-Spade-style funny.

I never got into the habit of watching Dore.

Where are the heirs to Robin Williams, George Carlin, and "Team ZAZ"? THEY were funny.
Is there anything even remotely like Most Xtreme Elimination Challenge on TV today?

I mean, I know Seth MacFarlane's a "Team ZAZ" disciple, but I hear even Family Guy has taken a turn from comedy to "dramady".

@The Liberal Moonbat

comedy, not so much
the audience has to think
in cutting edge comic routines
before the next punch line
which doesn't normally occur

I knew Mort Salh was satirist but I'd never seen him before. It's to bad he's passed away. I'd love to hear what he would have to say about the state of affairs today.
