The interview that Jon Stewart did with Miss Piggy is classic. Look it up on Comedy Central's site.

danielscissorhands		2003-09-30 01:13:33 PM

NM.. I guess you did.
Heh.

MrPerspicacious		2003-09-30 01:14:54 PM

bear with me Dan...and forgive me, for I am dial-up

mr pinkeye
John stewart is awesome! Now that is an intelligent show.

Hey, I feel love for the Kimmelgeist. I'm sure he's nice to animals and pays his taxes on time, blah blah blah. His opinions are pretty devoid of merit, however, and pretty much available from any 19 year old yuppie-in-waiting without much of a sex life to draw on.

And i NEVER make fun of the president. It's not funny to me. It's incredibly sad.

In fact, let's bow our heads for a moment.

MrPerspicacious		2003-09-30 01:18:21 PM

mutilato		2003-09-30 01:20:03 PM

Personally, I think none of the shows can compare in brilliant humor like Carson, Hope, Dick van Dyke and people of that ilk...they were able to make people laugh without using cheap humor and shcok value...not that I don't laugh at today's comedians...I just respect the original ones more.

We agree completely. It just takes a lot more effort to dervie real humor from real universality than it does to take potshots at groups based on recognized stereotypes.

MrPerspicacious		2003-09-30 01:20:19 PM

Forgive me if I misunderstood mutilato, but I think that was sarcasm on your part. All I'm saying is don't make this a one way street...it's okay for you to make fun of someone you disagree with, yet they can't do the same?

danielscissorhands		2003-09-30 01:21:37 PM

Ok. That image won't work.

mutilato		2003-09-30 01:23:02 PM

And for what it's worth, Bob Newhart was a genius. I think Elen Degeneres has much of the same skill.

And I saw this guy on HBO whose name I can't remember who was even funnier than Stephen Wright. Hair over his face for the whole show, sort of laid back. if anyone knows anything about comics and can help me find out who this guy was...

MrPerspicacious		2003-09-30 01:25:14 PM

Agreed on Newhart. Don't know who you're talking about, but another funny guys is Eddie (something)...he's British, and I think he likes to dreess up like a woman from time to time. Hilarious guy.

mutilato		2003-09-30 01:25:37 PM

I wasn't being sarcastic. There's a difference between taking people to task for a ridiculous opinion or worldview (such as taking potshots at the KKK,the nation of Islam and george Bush) and assisting in stereotyping entire groups predicated on an accident of their birth (White people, Homosexuals, Women, Bushes)

danielscissorhands		2003-09-30 01:26:21 PM

Mutilato
I believe you are talking about Mitch Hedberg?
Am I right? He's one of my fav comedians!

mutilato		2003-09-30 01:27:54 PM

Eddie Izard Rocks.

and Scissorhands got the comic I was thinking of from two oblique references. That's got to be some sort of cultural trivia record.

danielscissorhands		2003-09-30 01:28:28 PM

Why thank you.
I guess I'm either psychic or a genius. :)

MrPerspicacious		2003-09-30 01:28:34 PM

I find it to be somewhat pathetic though when people make fun of the President for saying "nucular"...and the people who make fun of him are often the liberals who speak out against such actions. Hypocrisy! A lot of people in the south pronounce it that way...sure it's wrong, but then a lot of black people say "aks" instead of "ask". It's just the way people talk.

Kremit		2003-09-30 01:29:39 PM

Since when was I going to appear on Jimmy Kimmel?

Err... thats Kermit... with an "er".

Henchman		2003-09-30 01:29:53 PM

MrPerspicacious: Eddie Izzard? He's hilarious.

MrPerspicacious		2003-09-30 01:30:48 PM

Eddie Izzard! That's him! You rock!

mutilato		2003-09-30 01:32:29 PM

MrPerspicacious

I'm sort of a fan of plain speaking when it's possible. I don't make fun of the president for the way he talks or his occasional misuse of words. I can recognize that Clinton was a better speaker but that's a tiny part of what i'm looking for in a president.

And I'm sure he means well. I object to just about every policy he has put forth, though, and find myself in near complete opposition to him on every front. I remind myself often, however, that what he wants (ostensibly an increase in justice and human happiness) is what I want. We disagree on the methodology.

danielscissorhands		2003-09-30 01:34:07 PM

Mitch Hedberg. Funny stuff...

"Foosball farked up my perception of soccer. I though you had to kick the ball and then spin 'round and round. I can't do a backflip, much less several simultaneously with two other guys."

I opened up a container of yogurt, and under the lid it said Please Try Again because they were having a contest I was unaware of. But I though I might have opened the yogurt wrong...or maybe Yoplait was trying to inspire me, 'c'mon, Mitchell, don't give up. Please try again. A message of inspiration from your friends at Yoplait. Fruit on the bottom, hope on top.

I got in an argument with a girlfriend inside of a tent. That's a bad place for an argument, because then I tried to walk out, and had to slam the flap. How are you supposed to express your anger in this situation? Zip it up real quick?

I was at this casino minding my own business, and this guy came up to me and said, "You're gonna have to move, you're blocking a fire exit." As though if there was a fire, I wasn't gonna run. If you're flammible and have legs, you are never blocking a fire exit.

You know when they have a fishing show on TV? They catch the fish and then let it go. They don't want to eat the fish, they just want to make it late for something.

MrPerspicacious		2003-09-30 01:34:28 PM

mutilato....well said...point taken. I don't agree with everything the man has done either, but I have to trust him.

danielscissorhands		2003-09-30 01:35:30 PM

Mr Perspicacious
There is a heck of a lot more to make fun of George W. Bush for than the way he says "nuc-u-lar".

MrPerspicacious		2003-09-30 01:37:46 PM

Danny boy...we had something going there for a while..then you got to go biatch it up. If I was right next to you...I'd slap you real hard so I wasn't right next to you anymore.

mutilato		2003-09-30 01:38:43 PM

And I will vote for anything even moderately sentient that is not a George W. Bush in the coming election. If I see a dolphin, I will tackle it to the sea floor and vote it into office.

MrPerspicacious		2003-09-30 01:40:09 PM

mutilato...I'm guessing that's the way you conducted your vote in 1992, 96, and 2000.

mutilato		2003-09-30 01:40:16 PM

I'd like to see the kickboxing challenge that resulted from this message board sometime. I get Bevets.

mutilato		2003-09-30 01:41:52 PM

mutilato...I'm guessing that's the way you conducted your vote in 1992, 96, and 2000.

I think we've ignored the dolphin long enough. We share the planet with them, where's their goddamn say? Hell yeah I vote dolphin.

danielscissorhands		2003-09-30 01:42:18 PM

Mr Perspicacious
If you want to "slap" me I have to wonder if you are latently homosexual.
And stop calling me Danny Boy. That's twice now.
Geez.. you are gay aren't you?
Take it somewhere else.

MrPerspicacious		2003-09-30 01:43:26 PM

you know dolphins tend to swim up to people and jerk themselves off against people....is that your attraction to dolphins my friend?

MrPerspicacious		2003-09-30 01:44:44 PM

Hey there Danny Boy...now who is being a homophobe? Eh, Danny Boy?

danielscissorhands		2003-09-30 01:45:50 PM

Mr Perspicacious
Listen, honey...
I didn't put down homosexuals. I just questioned your sexuality. That is all.

Hyoga		2003-09-30 01:45:54 PM

"...keep fishin' if you feel it's true...doo waah..."

=w=

mutilato		2003-09-30 01:46:12 PM

actually, big downside of dolphin associations. Male Dolphins also gather into rape gangs and corner females. If that came out at a press conference...

Superjoe		2003-09-30 01:46:56 PM

Kimmel was funny when The Man Show started, but I think he ran out of ideas after a season or so. Ever since, he's been crap. The only role he was really fit for was Ben Stein's sidekick. He was decent at making those spontaneous comments.

MrPerspicacious		2003-09-30 01:48:08 PM

well question all you want Danny Boy. I don't know why you're so fascinated with my sexual preference...unless you're....hmmmm.

Mikacat		2003-09-30 01:48:36 PM

Back to Kimmel, you have to admit,midgets are funny.

MrPerspicacious		2003-09-30 01:49:29 PM

I knew a midget once...wasn't very funny...very business like.

mutilato		2003-09-30 01:50:18 PM

Hey, guys. I'M gay (Bisexual, actually) and since none of you can sexually pleasure me through my computer monitor I couldn't freaking care less what you are.

/torn from my dolphin fantasy

MrPerspicacious		2003-09-30 01:51:01 PM

The bit he and Carola did about women's suffrage was genius though. And how women lie about their weight. Good times.

MrPerspicacious		2003-09-30 01:52:07 PM

I guess you have more options that way mutilato...don't end up staying home alone that way I suppose.

MrPerspicacious		2003-09-30 01:53:40 PM

You shouldn't let Danny boy know though...he has a thing against homosexuals.

danielscissorhands		2003-09-30 01:53:46 PM

Dolphin fantasy...

Rually		2003-09-30 01:54:04 PM

Does this mean we will get Pigs on Trampolines?

danielscissorhands		2003-09-30 01:54:37 PM

A thing against homosexuals? You mean like my hard..
/nevermind

MrPerspicacious		2003-09-30 01:54:55 PM

Danny Boy...don't tell me that you have that thing in your Favorites?

mutilato		2003-09-30 01:55:38 PM

I have options up the yin yang. Still nothing for bottlenoses.

I heard about the suffrage thing. I never like those "let's show how stupid people on the street are" bits. IMO, the average person is not stupid, but has different levels of importnace they place on certain types of knowledge (like how to pronounce nuclear or use words in general). Also, when caught in front of a camera, people become so "deer in the headlights" that it's understandable they come off like idiots.

MrPerspicacious		2003-09-30 01:57:03 PM

But the camera was hidden. Face it man, there are a lot of stupid uninformed people in this world. Education in this country is pathetic.

MrPerspicacious		2003-09-30 01:58:09 PM

And by the way...I don't really need to know what's up your ying-yang.

mutilato		2003-09-30 02:00:33 PM

On tour once in Ohio, this girl came backstage and asked me to come to Dinner at her parents house. I did. I have a bachelors and a Masters, a sex educator certification and have published a good number of papers, two of them in scientific journals. Her parents made me feel like an idiot because I couldn't grow my own food. That day, I WAS an idiot.

It's all in your perspective.
