strummer 0 Report post Posted October 12, 2006 Does anyone know why David hates Jim Belushi so much? I just saw that he jumped up on stage unscripted at Belushi's concert in Martha's Vineyard and was quickly thrown out. He bashes him daily on the Bob and David web site. Belushi also apparently heckled him at one his stand up shows. What's the deal? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mecha Mummy 0 Report post Posted October 12, 2006 I'm not sure myself. At a show he was hosting at Bumbershoot this year David Cross brought out a copy of Jim Belushi's book about being a man or some bullshit like that and just made fun of it every now and then, and read an excerpt from it to boot. I honestly think that Cross just thinks that Jim Belushi is a shitty comic and so he makes fun of him, just like he makes fun of Dane Cook and Larry the Cable Guy.

Gary Floyd 0 Report post Posted October 12, 2006 To David cross: Dave, you're a funny guy. That out of the way, what's the point ripping on Jim Belushi and Larry the Cable Guy? They may suck, but believe me, they aren't worth the time. Besides, it's like shooting fish in a barrel. In other words, it's too easy, and really fucking obvious. Also, you're political humor can get a bit preachy, and your new show "Freakshow" isn't all that great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hank Kingsley 0 Report post Posted October 12, 2006 I love Cross (especially Shut Up, You Fucking Baby!), but sometimes he tends to go overboard when telling a story or doing a bit. It starts out hilariously, and then just seems to drag on past when it should have ended. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Special K 0 Report post Posted October 12, 2006 It's a work! Someone's been watching wrestling too long. I don't think it's the cursing, it's the genuine frustrated anger that makes Cross seem both genuine and amateurish. He's funny as all hell though. And despite what you'd probably think, he's pretty cool in person. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Felonies! Report post Posted October 13, 2006 David Cross is a second rate Andy Kaufman with political humor undertones. And worked feuds occur in all forms of entertainment from music to television to movies. I would like to call it performance comedy with observational and pop culture references. Dane Cook would tell a story and act it out on stage before pausing to tell the punchline then 5 minutes later do a call back to the 1st story. Its like a comical sherbet to clense the funny bone Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
razazteca 0 Report post Posted October 13, 2006 If Cross is suppose to be a comical genius then why is he resorting to "lowest common dominator" tricks? Cross is just bitter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NoCalMike 0 Report post Posted October 13, 2006 Maybe he thinks Jim Belushi's act is too much of a take off from the Blues Brothers and that he is milking the act that his brother and Dan Akroyd invented.......I'm just guessing, that could have NOTHING to do with it!?!

Gary Floyd 0 Report post Posted October 13, 2006 Yeah, and "Blues Brothers 2000" wasn't milking it. Though at least that had Akroyd. It's still one of the worst movies I've ever seen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sideburnious 0 Report post Posted October 13, 2006 I like David Cross but I do thin at times he can be up his own ass. His comedy albums are good but they both have similar political topics, and after a little bit you just feel like telling him we get the fucking point. His non-political/religious parts are good though. He also seems sometimes to really try to force a point/joke across to the audience if they don't react the way he'd like them to, which ends up with them having a forced sounding reaction. EDIT: Oh and I think Jim living off his brother career (even more) is more reason for me to think he's useless. If he wasn't John Belushi's brother he wouldn't be in comedy/acting.
