barrel of laughs Oh lordy, if you spent your Labor Day cooking out with your family and friends, you sure wasted your time, because Ann Coulter participated in Comedy Central's Rob Lowe roast, and boy howdy LMAO, a comedy star is born! Move over, Amy Schumer, you have got some primo competition!
Yeah, looking into important drekkish . . . like Area 51/Roswell and the faked Moon landing(s). OK: why doesn't somebody else go have some grape juice and the little cracker with Der Trumpenfuehrer.
A comedian named Tony Hinchcliffe (I haven't heard of him either) talked about his attempts to write jokes for AnnThrax.
According to Hinchcliffe, she rejected or rewrote all jokes provided, and wouldn't even check out Martha Stewart's Bieber roast appearance (which is pretty funny).
Hinchcliffe's take on his attempts to bail Goebbels with Tits: “I think her ego is just so out of control that she really thought she was funny". I hope he received hazard pay.
They aren't stand ups. They are both good comic actors who were blessed with a part that suited them (Kelsey has bombed in everything other than Frasier, and Patricia can only play one kind of mom character), terrific writers, fantastic supporting casts.
Frasier was a secondary character in a remarkable, brilliant sitcom ("Cheers,") which had just enough good will to continue into a spinoff, which itself would have lasted three episodes tops without the wonderful David Hyde Pierce, John Mahoney, and Jane Leeves, not to mention the astonishingly talented writers and producers who unfailingly produced brilliant scripts, and the talented direction of James Burrows.
Patricia owes her entire career to the god-given talents of Ray Romano, and again, the brilliant writers on that sitcom.
Both of them are spectacularly awful people in their real lives. Kelsey is someone who publicly refers to one of his children as "a mistake," and marries whorish bimbos only to contemptuously dump them. Patricia chooses to do things like try to brutally interfere with the rights of the grieving husband of a brain-dead woman to come to terms with her death and let her go, if you recall the sad traumas of Terry Schiavo. They are the opposite of funny in actual life, and were they to attempt stand-up, in which they espoused their wretched personal views, they would bomb worse than Coulter.
And it is particularly absurd how the conservative community minimizes the incredible difficulty of the job of professional standup. Just look at how hard Jerry Seinfeld has worked, and continues to work. It's probably one of the hardest jobs in the arts. Yet people think it's just telling jokes.
Don isn't doing vicious jokes, though. He's very, very carefully choosing what he says and to whom. His "insults" are actually funny. More importantly, he has a sweet, goofy, funny face, which he knows, so he is able to say goofy things, even outrageous things, because he's inherently likable and completely unthreatening. He also immediately mitigates it with affectionate, respectful language. Always. He is teasing, not being vicious. Watch one of his TV appearances and you'll see. He is genuinely a lovely person, who has been incredibly generous to others and particularly other comics his whole career. And he's funny, in the way Howard Stern is funny--his outrageousness is part of the humor. It's very, very, very different from just randomly spewing attacks at people.
Yes, this is exactly right. Conservatives are also easily threatened, constantly trying to defend the status quo, and don't like looking honestly at things. Most of all, they completely lack imagination. You need to be brave, venturesome, clever, and imaginative to be funny. They're none of those things.
That is true and I enjoyed ever single minute of it; but she will spin the whole mess as how there is a giant liberal conspiracy against the 'great orange hope.' And we'll all talk about her for a little while more....

As someone who has no sympathy for anyone, she doesn't deserve it. But at least you thought about it.
In the vein of fairness, and all. I agree.

True, and I loved every second. Karma is indeed a bitch.

That seems fair.
Once more I have to mention the exception that proves the rules: Mike Nelson, MST3K/Rifftrax.
I think the source of his conservatism is more religious than political. That being said he is extraordinarily funny.
Yeah, I got a chuckle out of the Daily Show one and the fundraiser one, but imaging her delivering them in her voice immediately kills the buzz.
Da fuk? How did they find enough people who even remember who Rob Lowe is to gin up a roast? (I had to Google him).

I have a feeling that she's currently busy boiling her agent in a pot of oil.
What about non-comedians who date professional comedians? JJ couldn't write a couple jokes for her? Maher?
