RIP Sid Caesar.

Jesus, Rambo, I love you and all but In Living Color? Fly girls? "Let me tell you something"? "Homie don't play that"?

No.

Yes. In LiviNg Color was transcendent.

 

[Grand Potentate]

Perhaps we have different definitions of transcendent. Have you read Thoruea?

Is he related to the great philosopher Plateau?

 

[Grand Potentate]

Honestly, who ever did abstract humor like this? This fucking interview is gold.

finally saw the new Patton Oswalt special. it really blew. fatherhood has made him boring as shit, as opposed to Louie CK, who seems to only have benefited by it.

The Just For Laughs Festival has been slowly releasing old clips from shows up to 30 years ago. All the great comics doing old bits. Worth checking out if you're bored and want to laugh:

I've been watching old Dean Martin roasts. Holy shit, they were hilariously racist. Its amazing. You couldn't get through 1/10th of that without the PC police climbing down your throats now.

Thanks for the link.

 

[Grand Potentate]

Still a classic

the new patton oswalt special on netflix was mediocre at best.

john mulaney's special from 2015 was pretty funny. you have to enjoy his style but its worth a watch if you do.

working on the new jim jefferies special now.

Stand up comedy is best in person. Nothing beats seeing live stand up at clubs like the comedy cellar. Watching stand up on tv just doesn't do it for me.

I like comedians in cars getting coffee if you haven't seen it yet, but I'm a big fan of Seinfeld. Apparently curb your enthusiasm is coming back for a new season as well
