I decided to try a new comic. Alot of people list him as one of the greatest ever. I listened to his 1990 Explicit Lyrics album since i found a review on a comedy web site saying that it was his best album.
What I found:
1) He swears alot
2) He swears lot
3) He has horrible punch lines
4) He basically takes a topic and spends 2 minutes trying to say the same thing differently.
5) has absolutely no wit
He makes Gallagher look like his show is full of wit.
Seriously, did this album just have all the intelligent punch lines taken out? It seemed so fluid. Amazing editing I guess.
For example, early on the album he was talking about how rape can be funny. Along with some stupid witless examples that any 14 year old could come up with by saying a random verb, a random noun and rape. Raped by a slow moving oxen. Fucking great! Why am I not in show business? No miraculous connotations. Just foul mouthed stupidity. I was listening later into the act and he came to rape and made a half way decent joke. But he could have said "See, I told you .... rape can be funny", it would have been perfect. Maybe in part because most of his earlier rape tirade lasted tooo long and was not funny. It was as though the entire conversation earlier wasn't there. And the delivery was such that it didn't have to be.
Seriously, this is the "best" we have done in the past 50 years?
Someone tell me that this album actually sucked or in some way convince me to give him a second chance.
