Right-wingers stink at comedy. Intentional comedy anyway.
I know people on the left hate him now, but Dennis Miller is still funny. Earlier today I heard him hyping a new talk show that I haven't found on the radio yet: Nick DiPaolo and Artie Lange.
^^^Miller is still selling out stand-up shows and doing good HBO specials. I can understand if politics makes you see him as some sort of right-wing nut job, but he's still got the chops.

The last thing i saw by Miller was All-In and it was fucking terrible. I find Carolla funny, though i wouldn't toss him in with the whole right wing crowd.
As far as "left-wing" comedians, you can't get less funny than Janeane Garofalo. Then again, women in general aren't funny.

Dane Cook sells out stand up shows. Miller's timing is still impeccable but he ran out of content back when he had the talk show on HBO. Taking oneself too seriously is usually the death knell of a stand up, hell great stand ups like Lenny Bruce, George Carlin and Bill Hicks all lost it once they thought people were coming to them for political deep-thoughts instead of yucks.
^^^ Does anyone take Dane Cook seriously as a stand-up comedian? And if the other guys you compare to Dennis Miller as far as "losing it" are Lenny Bruce, George Carlin & Bill Hicks, I think he's still doing OK.
You obviously haven't listened to the Bruce reading out sections of the Constitution on his last few records, or Hicks rambling about Waco.
No, I haven't. And why the fuck would I want to? Dennis Miller hasn't done anything remotely close to that, and I'm still sticking with my assertion that he is still funny.

I'm glad someone shares my view on Hicks and Bruce. Sadly, I feel Stanhope might wind up going down the same road. Tina Fey is an exception to the rule as far as broads.
oh and sorry for the derail, man.

Radio is the refuge of failed comedians. Just listen to a great stand up like Louis C.K. smile and bear it through some lame O&A interview.
Steezo is closer with Miller, but he stopped being funny for years before he took the right wing loony turn.
I'm not talking about comedians on radio. I'm talking about radio hosts who use comedy. Doing radio is a skill unto itself. That's why Air America failed. The thought was "anybody can do radio" and it's just not true.

'Radio hosts who use comedy' are exactly the douchebags I was referring to. They don't have the chops to make it as comedians so they up on morning radio shows with their shitty stingers and fart jokes and names like 'Crash' and 'Ripper.' FM radio gave up on actually playing music for this 'personality driven' shit. AM became the graveyard that allows fools like Jones to get a soap box.

That's dead fucking on, Claude. I don't know if they're in Canada or not, but Bob and Tom are a perfect example of an incredibly-unfunny-despite-efforts show, and it seems to have a carrier in every goddamn state.
There's a good morning show here, but it's mostly due to the fact that it's so small, that a lot of the comedy is locally focused and very relatable. They rip on local businesses and the city and all.

Morning Zoo and talk formats are two very different things, although I think we can all agree that morning zoo hosts need to be eradicated in the most painful way possible. Talk format is talk, and the best practitioners of it add some comedy aspects. They may be fools to you, but someone listens to them.
Tell me, what else is AM good for? Are you just dying to listen to your favorite tunes on good ol' mono AM? I know I'm not looking forward to listening to Genesis filtered through a tin can.
The fact remains that radio hosting and stand up are two very different things. Not saying that one's better than the other. I'm just saying that boiling it down to radio guys being failed stand ups is not only lazy, it's also far from accurate.
Sure, Alex Jones is a tool, but he makes a fair living being one. I guess he's doing something right.

Love this from the comments section:
Fuck them, ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK! Leave them with the zombies that they already own.. Get the fuck out, while you can! Don't even go into the city, if you can work from home, DO SO! Shift your life AWAY from their zone of control.. Minimize contact with them.. Cut into their tax base, watch them shrivel into the begging dogs they really are.. See what happens when nobody plays their game.. THIS is how you really hurt them..
Yeah man, destroy the system by selling on ebay for a living.

In another rave surrounding gun control laws he more more than less told his audience that, jumped up on ritalin, he'd shoot anyone storming into his house. It might just have been his brand of idiocy. Or not. It's all laughable and completely crazy with this guy. His lunacy gist could be written up in a small paragraph. He constantly repeats himself. He thinks human and canine psychology are really close. His repressed language whenever anything comes close to sexuality as a topic is interesting. His Christian connection to the guy upstairs as well. Like doing his work and so on. Yet he bashes others proclaiming the same. The anti-gay tirades are enlightening. One of his nightmares could be this: The globablists' minions finally breach his home to rape his family in front of him repeatedly, all the while giving them vaccine shots he just knows to cause cancer, HPV and HIV and then move on to waterboarding with fluoridated water. Alternative media. No. Just seriously batty.

You should be proud of that rant^^^. Waterboarding with fluoridated water wrapped it up beautifully. You, sir, are a poet.

Thanks. It's not exactly meant to be a rant, rather an initiation to the guy after several months of partially watching his shitty output. He seems convinced enough in any case. Freaky shit.

Mike Adams is a faggot. I'm amazed by the number of seemingly rational people that are taken in by his bullshit on NatrualNews.

The sit-in people for the cult leader are all weird in their different ways. The Nightly News show generally appears to be a platform for bad humour and passively aggressively sticking it to the man. What a clownish approach to journalism demanding to be recognised. Quotation marks are optional wherever you want.
