the max Posted July 28, 2004 Report Posted July 28, 2004 Out of the best four, I think Gary gets knocked out, just because he doesn't have material that appeals to everyone. Alonzo, John and Kathleen all do, but Gary doesn't. I think he gets most of his votes from girls thinking he's hot or something. Meaning, my pick for the final three is: Alonzo John Kathleen Whoever wins that, I have no problem with. I think Alonzo may be the dark horse to take it, but you really can't bet against those other two.
Youth N Asia Posted July 28, 2004 Report Posted July 28, 2004 I voted Glass. I thought he smoked Tammy in their head to head anyway. And his set made me laugh the most last night
the max Posted July 30, 2004 Report Posted July 30, 2004 I think that for the rest of the remaining shows, Gary should wear an "I <3 TODD GLASS" shirt.
the max Posted July 30, 2004 Report Posted July 30, 2004 Surprisingly, it's down to Todd and Jay in the wildcard thing~!
Hank Kingsley Posted July 30, 2004 Report Posted July 30, 2004 What, did he get sympathy votes, or something? His act SUCKS!
the max Posted July 30, 2004 Report Posted July 30, 2004 I'm happy with either one, and am glad that someone who's actually funny took it. Still think the Final 3 are Heffron, Kathleen, and Alonzo.
CanadianChris Posted July 30, 2004 Report Posted July 30, 2004 I must admit, I was surprised. I didn't think Jay had the best set on Tuesday, not even second best. This pretty much cements him as "America's Comic." He has virtually no chance of making the final 3, however. To say he sucks, though, is wrong. His act is so incredibly far from sucking, it can't even see sucking in the distance. He's one of the sharpest wits I've seen on stage.

His apologies, his "I'm bothering you" and "I'm almost done", and the repeating of jokes is just so goddamn annoying.

His act is so incredibly far from sucking, it can't even see sucking in the distance. He's one of the sharpest wits I've seen on stage. Didn't watch the results show (playing ESPN NFL 2K5), but that's a pretty surprising result. Well, not THAT surprising since Jay can be a pretty good comic and has the Clay fans behind him, but his act really didn't kill like his semi-final set. But what kills it for me is his self-depreciation. His apologies, his "I'm bothering you" and "I'm almost done", and the repeating of jokes is just so goddamn annoying. Well, that's a part of his act, but when the audience is practically BEGGING to love you, it just doesn't work when that happens. This doesn't change anything - I'm still voting for Heffron, Alonzo and probably Kathleen. Sorry Jay, but here's to hoping you don't John Stevens your way into the final 3...
CanadianChris Posted July 30, 2004 Report Posted July 30, 2004 Incidentally, Glass' karma joke made me laugh so hard it went in my sig.
St. Gabe Posted July 30, 2004 Report Posted July 30, 2004 What, did he get sympathy votes, or something? His act SUCKS! Wow...he sucks? Why? because you don't understand his act? And no his whole act isn't based around self-depricating humor, his act is incredibly cerebral in it's simplicity. He is living his schtick. He doesn't need to tell stories on stage, his talent lies in 3 different Areas 1. Obviously his look- He's a funny looking dude, and works with it. 2. His one liners are absolutely hillarious 3. He is an incredibly emotional vulnerablr guy, and america can relate to that, and possibly jump behind him. I liked Todd Glass ALOT more, but I honestly see Jay, Kathleen, and John in the Top 3 =Gabe
Lando Griffin Posted July 30, 2004 Report Posted July 30, 2004 Jay has some very funny lines, but I don't care for him as a standup comic. If that makes sense. /rooting for Kathleen
Youth N Asia Posted July 30, 2004 Report Posted July 30, 2004 I really like Jay. But Todd's set killed his, and so did Ant's actually. But I think people like Jay better than they like Jay's set, so I think he got a ton of votes cause he's so likeable. I was shocked really. I thought he was gone for sure. And Todd's cookie monster deal was funny as hell.
Stephen Joseph Posted July 30, 2004 Report Posted July 30, 2004 Jay's act is really good in 15-20 minute sets Its tough to warmup, but then once your brain starts working the wit, its near nonstop laughter. go jay
starvenger Posted July 30, 2004 Report Posted July 30, 2004 I really like Jay. But Todd's set killed his, and so did Ant's actually. But I think people like Jay better than they like Jay's set, so I think he got a ton of votes cause he's so likeable. Hence, Jay = John Stevens. Except that Jay is better at his profession, and John looks more freakish.
razazteca Posted August 4, 2004 Report Posted August 4, 2004 Everybody brought had a good set but Bonnie on the Wildcard show. Corey did well with the marriage and the other guy jokes. Bonnie was well just lame......yes everybody hates you. Ant is the hyper stereotypical gay guy and made it work. Jay "Thank You" London came out of leftfield with his unorthodox style of self defication humor and finished strong with the Masterbate joke. Todd Glass brought his best jokes but the "those internet geeks did not like my jokes" material was not enough to win the wildcard. If I was going to pick a winner for the final I think it would either Alonzo or Tammy. I think they have enough material to go a full hour while the rest of the group in the finals barely have 15 minutes of material. The darkhorse will be Jay London, the man looks like a worst case scenario for Behind the Music 80's Metal.
starvenger Posted August 4, 2004 Report Posted August 4, 2004 So far, I've got: Jay 7.5 Gary 8 I'm not comparing Jay to last week btw. He did MUCH better this time. The self-depreciation stuff didn't sound as bitter, as I think Jay now realizes that people do, in fact, like him.
razazteca Posted August 4, 2004 Report Posted August 4, 2004 Hefron looking strong but I think he and Gary will cancel each other out.
starvenger Posted August 4, 2004 Report Posted August 4, 2004 Kathleen - 8 I felt that she really connected with the audience.
the max Posted August 4, 2004 Report Posted August 4, 2004 Heffron I had at about an 8. He's been much funnier, but he had to youngen up his material. His wife is hot too. Madigan was good, I have her at about a 7.5
starvenger Posted August 4, 2004 Report Posted August 4, 2004 Tammy - 6 Still not funny. And I think Boston Rob was Sicilian.
starvenger Posted August 4, 2004 Report Posted August 4, 2004 'Zo - 9.5 Killed whatever Heffron missed.
Hank Kingsley Posted August 4, 2004 Report Posted August 4, 2004 I only saw Alonzo's, but it was fucking awesome.
the max Posted August 4, 2004 Report Posted August 4, 2004 Tammy I have at a 6. I still don't think she's funny, and the Janet Jackson stuff? FFS, it's August. Alonzo I have at an 8. He was good. My top three make it. John, Kathleen, Alonzo.
CanadianChris Posted August 4, 2004 Report Posted August 4, 2004 1 - Alonzo 1a - John 2 - pick one 6 - Tammy Alonzo was tonight's MVP. A lot of jokes, sharp, topical, and FUNNY. Heffron was definitely up there. I'd be happy with any of the other 3 sans Tammy, althought I thought Jay's set was much better this week for some reason. Gary was also very good.
razazteca Posted August 4, 2004 Report Posted August 4, 2004 Alonzo has everything to become the winner. He has the stage pressence, good pacing of the jokes, proper use of tone in his voice, great material.
starvenger Posted August 4, 2004 Report Posted August 4, 2004 My votes will be: Alonzo, John and Kathleen. Time to vote, and time to see who gets Philiminated on CBS...
the max Posted August 4, 2004 Report Posted August 4, 2004 Those three are exactly who I just voted for.
