Would you like me to bring in more? Because I know a number of people who think the same thing.

I do too. I was just having fun with the "only person who thought this" line. I think there's even an old recording of him making fun of the sort of comedian he ended up becoming.

Three words that make Oswalt the funniest around: Battered, chapped pussy.

Also, his impression of William Alexander is roll on the floor clutching at your side funny.

Larry the Cable Guy is for morons. David Cross is for uppity snobs who like the Royal Tenenbaums. Neither are funny.

LOL, thanks Frostwolf. Now you can back to searching my posts for something to try and 'get' me on.

Again, I wasn't the one being a snob. I was just saying that I'm at least familiar enough with the comedy scene to reccomend some acts, which is all that I did. You're the arrogant douche making blanket statements about all of comedy, which is what frostwolf called you out on. You can quote irrelevant half-sentances all you like, but that won't keep anyone from noticing you dodged the argument. Yeah, maybe I made an assumption about what you had or hadn't seen, but it was a correct assumption, so don't get self-righteous.

Patrice O'Neal, Jim Norton, Paul Mooney, Dave Attell, Doug Stanhope, Nick Dipaolo, Joe Rogan, Robert Kelly... Ironically, none of them market themselves as edgy, and yet that dumb basic-cable-friendly fuck Carlos Mencia can't shut up about how edgy he thinks he is.

The only comedian who thinks that is what makes edge is George Carlin. "Tee hee, pussy farts" indeed, George.

EDIT: Ok, and Dennis Leary, too.

Frog burned gozen (just admit it), Dane Cook is funny, but Henry Rollins rules (not really a comedian though, but he's funny all the same).

Henry Rollins is more of a speaker than a comic.

He might as well be a comedian, because he's that god damn funny.
