I'm tired of all the comedians they're pushing these days that just aren't funny.

[Seshmeister]

Who is pushing?

You think Stanhope is mainstream?

YouTube - Adam Carolla on Taxes (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QeyyDD3gQMo)

Bigger fan of the man he replaced on "The Man Show".

I think I mainly indentify with him and Penn Jillette as who am closest to in political philosphy. With the exception of their takes on Religion, as I am a Christian, that believes in a God and they are atheists.

[Seshmeister]

I have some time for Jillette but he goes a bit nutso on the libertarian thing.

For example he's against public schools.

He lives in the desert in a compound so would possibly be able to survive for quite a while in the resulting Max Max world...

You know those Sci-Fi movies where aliens have overpopulated & depleted all of the resources on their home planet, so they come to Earth for our yummy stuffs?

That's us in a couple hundred years.

That shit will happen, but humans will be the aliens looking elsewhere after we turn Earth into nothing more than sky-high stacked housing & feed lots.

Totally mainstream. And the shit's just not funny.

That would be us, if we knew how to make a spaceship. But we don't, because everybody's too fucking lazy to study engineering anymore. I envision more of an "Idiocracy" future, if you've seen that movie.

It's more social comment with humor than a comedian.

You need to go elsewhere for your mother in law gags...

Well, I want a comedian that makes me laugh. Make me laugh, funny man! What am I, like a clown to you? Funny like, 'ha ha,' or funny like 'fuck you?' What do you mean, I'm funny?

I want a comedian who talks about hot pockets.

If I want social commentary, I'm not going to a comedian. I'm tired of dumbasses trying to be fucking awesome.

[Blackflag]

btw - I never trust anybody that has one of those pieces of shit on his lower lip.

That's what Bruce Springsteen & U2 concerts are for. ;)

I used to like The Boss before he decided to become my fucking preacher / pre-voting advisor. :(

Really? Well here's Patton Oswalt talking about hot pockets at 2:55 :D
