I look out my window and see the empty 40 oz beer bottles, hypodermic needles, crack pipes and abandoned shopping carts on my front lawn and begin to think. The end results have become known as my random thoughts from the ghetto...
-Regarding the dispute between Time Warner and MSG and the Buffalo Sabres: I am willing to pay more money each month to whichever provider does not show the games. I'd rather watch reruns of Magnum P.I.than this boring team.
-The Visa commercials of the 1980's really taunted American Express mercilessly.
-One person in media who has absolutely no talent is Adam Corrola. Seriously, if somebody told me they're a fan of his, I'd have to think considerably less of them. He is terrible. I'd love to know who he is related to to have gotten his break in show business. The average person at the corner bar is funnier than and has more of a personality than Corrola.
-When did employees start becoming known as Associates? Who does management think they're fooling? They want the average person to think they have some kind of stake in the company, yet pay them scraps. Employees are not associates. Why don't they just call them slaves or indentured servants? It would be a more accurate description.
-You can always tell how bad Karaoke singers are when the DJ takes a break and plays a real song (with the actual performers). You notice the difference right away and your ears seem to say, "thank you God."
-You can always tell how tough a family is by the number of relatives they have who are missing fingers or limbs. Even tougher are the ones born with too many fingers or limbs.
-I used to think the worst job in the world belonged to Saddam Hussein's body double. He was the guy Saddam's handlers trotted out whenever they thought someone was going to try to assassinate the former Iraqi leader. I recently heard about a US Postal worker whose job it was to examine suspicious packages destined for Pat Robertson. He described holding such a package at arm's length as it blew up in his face. As he suspected, it had been a bomb intended for the controversial minister. If you think you might be holding a bomb, it might be time to look for a new assignment. Could you imagine his supervisor on his first day of work? OK, the guy who held the job before you. His name is Lefty.

ReplyDeleteJimmy Kimmel gave Adam Carrola his break, Carrola was his boxing instructor. Comedy is subjective, and Carrola is defiantly an acquired taste. He has done a lot of great stuff and a lot of not so great stuff. Carrola came from nothing, he went from swinging a hammer to working with Kimmel at KRock. Since you're judging people on what they think is funny. Let your readers judge your sense of humor. Rate your favorite 5 comedians. Here are my top 5, judge away...
Sean C's top 5
1.) George Carlin
2.) Richard Pryor
3.) Eddie Murphy
4.) Louis CK
5.) Jerry Seinfeld
Bill Burr gets honorable mention
Comedy is subjective. Very true. I'm not a big fan of stand up comedy. However, some people I find funny are Jerry Seinfeld, Bill Murray, Richard Pryor, Steven Wright, George Carlin,and Bill Cosby.
ReplyDeleteI heard Carrola on the radio a few times. He honestly bored me. I know some people like him, just not me.
I find it funny that you're not a fan of stand-up... having a blog and being a proponent of free speech. Stand-up is the purest form of free speech.
ReplyDeleteRobert Schemmel.. Rodney Dangerfield.. Dave Chappel..Norm Donald..Carlin....Carrot Top and Dane Cook are the two least funny people ever, Hitler was less of a hack.

ReplyDeleteI'm not against someone's right to like stand up comedy. It's just not my bag. I prefer funny people acting to a well written script. Or even better-a funny person improvising. I just never was one to laugh out loud to someone telling jokes. I know some others do love stand up comedy.
this is a recycled story. you changed adam sadler to adam corolla.
ReplyDeleteno, i find Adam Corrola equally as annoying as Adam Sandler. I also can't stand Vince Vaughan or the fat kid from the movie Superbad. others may feel differently.
ReplyDeleteVince Vaughan is in fact annoying and fat kid is talentless.
