i do as well, however imho if you deny the more 'stupid' comedy, you're missing out.plus 'smart/makes you think' does not equal quality either. lets put it this way:
dennis miller. very smart comedian, makes you think alot, and is entirely not funny.

i think his comedy was among the more insightful and intelligent.
'makes you think' is a weird description for any comedian though. quite frankly
i find that most comedians, no matter how intelligent their act, already do the thinking for you. thus the punchline is given.
Well, yeah, make you follow their intelligent thoughts, is probably more accurate.
Originally posted by Rogue JediI have seen mostly his later material and I find it quite good.
not near as much as he has been lately, like the last 5 years or so. now, he is all political and dissing people he hates. before, he would do a 20 minute skit on driving your car.
Also, I am not much interested in people driving their cars, if I want to hear trivial bullshit then...well..I never want to hear trivial bullshit.
Though it can be funny. But I think talking about things that are wrong is much better than things that are pointless.

no, he was political and angry for quite some time. notable the early 90's post gulf-war. you're thinking of carlin from the 70's.

I do understand, let's not create the illusion that her comedy is deep or difficult to understand, just because she's a satire doesn't mean she's funny.
No, it would be like bashing peewee because someone didn't think he was funny while being childish and stupid, that's how I feel about Silverman, she can satirize bad humor all she wants, I still don't think she's funny when doing so.
