      I miss the days when he was doing stand up and straight up telling people “I’m an idiot. Please don’t take me seriously.” It definitely is better than now, where he is still an idiot but people do take him seriously.

        I miss when he was doing standup, too, because he sucked at it so nobody was posting his clips

            I liked him in News Radio, but I would also have said the same about Andy Dick. Come to think of it, both of them played idiot savant characters so maybe it was just the genius casting in that show.

            He was also perfectly cast in Fear Factor. It was like something he was born to do.

        Nah fuck that. That was always his trick, he doesn’t actually think he’s an idiot, it’s just his get out of jail card.

        His stand up was atrocious, I hate even listen to him talk about comedy and comedians because it’d be like me talking about nuclear physics and how our brains work.

          You don’t like his stand-up? You don’t like to hear about almond nipples and Kim Kardashian while he’s hunched over a stool?

          In all seriousness, I was so disappointed in his stand up when I was a fan. For a guy that talks to so many people about so many different topics, his stand up was so boring.

      The years of ped abuse and blows to the head from sparring at work. Never was a smart guy, but that sure didn’t help.
