Murphdogg,
okay now...what you said i dont know if you were answering back that i was wrong or right.....my assessment of you is that you grow on someone and at first i thought you were okay but occasionly i laughed......i occasionaly laugh now but you are funny to a certain point...the funniness comes thru the internet an is still funny....i seen your picture and put that together with your posts and sometimes you are very funny....and if you are funny an it comes thru the internet as funny then you can bet its funny...i have not seen your act but i guess it would be funny....of course seeing someone in person is different than seeing them on tv...i know cause i have been to several shows in person and seen live comics...(as opposed to dead ones i guess :lol: )especially if they include you in the act only to make fun of you or your situation.....which comes to my original statement of i like stand up thats funny....and i dont like stand up thats not funny

Appaloosa, Lol, not I was agreeing with you. funny is funny. I just went off on a tirade about the comics I know who don't get laughs and blame the crowd and that kind of thing. I reserve the right for nothing I say to ever make any sense, and everthing i make up is the gods to honest truth.

Murphdogg,
I like stand up comedy like Richard Pryors...well duh right?..but what I mean is his ability to make fun of himself and the situations he was in, no matter how painful or revealing he opened his heart and let everybody have a look but it was stuff most of us could relate to in a language we understood, no machiavelli bullshit that everybody laughed at so they didn't look stupid...TMIC made you think and learn....and people like Hedburg, Kinison, Wright...people you can relate to and laugh with or at.

I don't like finger pointing loud mouths who are just using the stage to criticize and come off acting like everything they say is right and everything you say makes you an asshole...not you personally...in general, know what I mean vern? ;p...but a person can't learn from that and it closes minds rather than changes them.

and I hate T-Bone and the naked trucker or blue collar wannabe's that say their redneck but live in L.A, besides those jerks make me homesick....Ron Whites cool though.

Murphdogg,
see that is funny ...i laughed out loud at the " I reserve the right....." okay now i dont know if you like him or not but D.L. Hughgly is an insult comedian but he can do it so smooth that while he is makin you look like an ass you are smiling an laughing....now that is talent...i remember of Don Rickles when he was young an Frank Sinatra was young an they were playin in Las Vegas Rickles thought that Rickles picked on Sinatra because of his fame an knew he would be recorded...i like what he did....he asked Sinatra if he needed new c:othes or real clothes that he could have called him an he would get his mother to send Sinatra some an Sinatra laughed an laughed....an Rickles followed him throught the Hotel doin jokes to Frank like that....that was funny.....because it was not set up an impromptu.....and ad libbed.....Rickles was one of the funniest characters i have ever seen :lol: :lol:

Appaloosa,
I want to ask what they call that when a comedian says something or has a punch line during the first part of a routine but the same line or subject is relevant and used during other parts of the show in seemingly unrelated subjects...kinda like when Chris???can't remember, the guy on comedy central that talks about watching a kid put a penny in a electrical outlet but when somebody goes to stop the kid he says something like "No no, wait" because he wants to see the kid get shocked but he uses the "no no, wait" line during other parts of the show and it fits with seemingly unrelated subjects...not a good example but I like when a comedian does that and it's a great indicator the audience is paying attention and following along, by itself it aint that funny but as the show goes on it picks up momentum sort of...are you as confused as me yet? :lol:

don't hate me Murphdogg, I didn't mean to dis..you know I love ya. :)

hellifiknow,
okay i think i know what you mean ....its kinda like a signature remark that they use off an on an then some like to end thier bit with that remark ......it is okay an it like makes the bit thought through a little more but like i said if it aint funny the little remark aint funny all the way through the bit.......of course some people like to do things because they analyze bits and peices like that an do things because other people do them....not because they understand whats going on they do them cause they are copycats.....i mean some people can see comedians an see how they pace thierself an how they say things here an there an copy them ...not cause they themselves are funny but they see funny an copy it....okay this is where Carson looks at the band an they start a song...an you start to do a little soft shoe to it...da da......da da....da dadllada da da... b.b :lol:
