Yeah, I think I would have been snickering each time he said 'buttchugging.' But I'm immature like that.

I'd rather not. The comment was based on a comedic line in the video and is intended to go no further.

I prefer zoroastrian comedians. You probably haven't heard of them.

There's only so much Dane Cook to go around. Sometimes you have to settle for someone with a lesser comedy styling

Novel? No. Funny? Yes.

Give me Bill Burr any day.

Hysterical? I like me some Lewis Black, but I'm guessing you meant hilarious, subby. Or were there actual hysterics to be had?

That's one funny Hebrew.

In case you're being serious, you should know that "hysterical" has more than one meaning and one of its defintions is synonymous with "funny".

True, it has more than one meaning.

So, no, I don't see how anything is synonymous with funny. I think hysterical is often inappropriately used because various persons either embrace the slang version because 'that was what I meant' or because they don't realize they mean one thing and say another.

One of the bits was about a woman getting her tubes tied. Now THAT was hysterical.

swahnhennessy: That was possibly the best Lewis Black rant I've seen.

I'm partial to his bit about the whole Coke/Pepsi thing at restaurants... true hilarity. Can't find a video of it though. As for the video in TFA, I got some good laughs out of it.

I've gotta say I LIKE his schtick. Sam Kinison did it too, but he seemed like he was just crazy anyway. Lewis Black has this vibe about him of a normal everyday guy who is just at the end of his rope, finally seeing all the madness about him, and just deciding fark it, why even hold back anymore.

swahnhennessy: DGS: So, no, I don't see how anything is synonymous with funny.

Really? You cherry-picked hysterical to be "right"? On a place like Fark? Well, hell, let me concede. Hysterical can never mean funny. You win, guy-who-looked-at-nine-dictionaries-before-who-could-be-right.

See, that wasn't so hard. You're mistaken, though, I didn't need to look at them. I only did to show a variety of possible answers none of which had any applicable comparisons.

You remind me of the guys that go "what is this, English class?" You came to tell me I was wrong usin incorrect information, and now that I've refuted you and cited actual proof if position, you make snide comments. A winnar is you.
