JangoFett4Hire 0 Report post Posted November 21, 2006 This is what happens when people try to copy Andy Kaufman without the funny eastern european character voice. That's why Sasha Baron Cohen is safe. Also Bob Barron, why are you defending Richards? I don't think he's an SNL alum. He was on Fridays. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

2GOLD 0 Report post Posted November 21, 2006 His apology is probably the saddest moment ever. He's desperately trying to be sincere and the crowd is just laughing at him cause they think it's a comedy skit. It's wonderfully horrible. Doesn't help that with his head shaved like that he looks like he's going out for a role in American History X II Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Fett 0 Report post Posted November 21, 2006 I saw the apology last night and I at least respect that he spoke from his heart rather than simply reading a statement written by his publicist, no matter how awkward it made him look. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RepoMan 0 Report post Posted November 21, 2006 I can't believe anyone's defending him on this. There's shock humor and then there's screaming nigger at someone 18 times and walking off stage.

cd213 0 Report post Posted November 22, 2006 In reguards to everyone that says hecklers are part of their job, fuck that. My friend does stand up and it's disrespectful to the person on stage. Once or twice is bad enough, but those assholes were going at Richards the entire show. I'd like to see him go to their job and rag on them the entire time and see if they don't flip out. He went too far in the things he said (although some were pretty funny), but they got what was coming! In reguards to Dane Cook, he's about as funny as getting root canal. He horrible and so unfunny. I thought his character was funny in Waiting, but everything after that sucked. When he was on Comic Relief on Saturday I had to turn him on mute he was so unfunny.

Guest Felonies! Report post Posted November 22, 2006 Yeah, I know I'm like a day late here, but Dane Cook is the funniest stand-up comic there is right now. Why does this not surprise me AT ALL. In reguards Is that when you guard something once, and then guard it again? Anyway, I think what we meant by "heckling is part of stand-up" is not that it's their job to make things hard for the comedian night after night, but rather every now and then, should these things happen, a good comedian is able to brush it off and turn the crowd against the heckler. Of course nobody should keep it up the whole time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hawk 34 0 Report post Posted November 22, 2006 Most comedians have been socially awkward introverts and have relied on comedy to get any sort of attention, or an edge on others. Either they make genuinely funny comments, or attack society with some merit, thought or point. Dane Cook? In his own words, “flipped that shit” (one of the many annoying phrases that he ushered into the trend following troglodytes that are currently dragging their knuckles across their self-inflicted misery scorned Starbucks cup). He decided that he had a great advantage with being a good looking guy, with the frat boy look that his demographic creams for or secretly wishes they could obtain. All he does he spew the same shit that is heard between classes and every street corner at every college campus out there. He throws in a grunt or two, over exaggerated facial expression and then flexes his muscles as he reiterates how often he gets laid. I’ll admit that he has said some things that I do agree with but it’s not like he created these things. They are mostly observations that every breathing person, at least in this country, has acknowledged. His whole preening act basically consists of the aforementioned grunting, exaggerated facials and the retelling events that everyone has done/experienced. A comedian should be relevant, creative and socially biting. Dane Cook is just having AIM conversations on a stage. Cook, is the comic equivalent of Fall Out Boy.
