Is George Carlin any good? I got 5 minutes into watching something and all it seemed to be was an old bloke saying things like 'pussy fart', and explaining the mechanics of that. We did that when we were 13, and it wasn't even all that funny then.
Worth persisting or not? -

Worth persisting or not?Carlin is great, but like Pryor his stuff sometimes seems dated now because he was one of the forerunners of the guys we have now.

@Tim I have actually put a bit of thought into this... (very little)
Every single thing I've seen those pricks do - I find fucking mindless dumb-fuck brain-dead dribble.
Yet - I get the impression you're relatively intelligent, and I think you've got a massive hatred for Brit comic panel-shows? Which I would watch one HUNDRED percent over any of them.And... does it just come down to the comedy one gets day-to-day?
The cum-town guys... to me, seems like a super-dumbed-down version of the shit I heard every single fucking day when hanging out with "geezers", and... it's fucking boring.
For you... I don't know - did you perhaps not have that? Do you have jerks at work with rehearsed gags with props every day?
(I do understand (some of) your problems with Brit panel shows... I'm watching Cats-Does-Countdown at the moment - and so much of it is obviously telegraphed. -

@Kruse Maybe you are just old? SNL generally sucks ass, so that was dulled-down.
In fact - I seem to recall you've been rather eloquent in your criticism of Brit "comedy" panel-shows in the past.
I reckon we could well have a decent back/forth with that vs my criticism of the cum-town crowd.
I sense your genuine hatred of those... and please believe - I feel exactly the same for those bro-bros.
Edit: except "Have I Got News For You" - they are/were talentless hacks. -
