GUZZIOWL Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 I have a CD of a load of his songs and Ive had it in a drawer for about five years and never listened to it. I might have a squiz at it later now you mentioned him. Id never heared of him before someone got me the CD. He made a dvd called 'Live down under'( 04 ) and he doesn't have to try 'too hard' to be funny ....he genuinely is . Most of his act consists of mucky /offensive songs but they also have a story to 'em....Anyone remember that Chubby song 'Hey santa claus '?....That was written by K.B.W....

[Matt] Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Have a look at this: Also look up Katt Williams, very funny! You're right though Jabber, most of the 'racist' humour used by Chris Rock is funny, because it's inclusive-but occassionally Ive seen him step over that mark and try to be very funny, by being very offensive, but on the whole it's enjoyable stuff. If you like Chris Rock then you're sure to love Dave Chappelle... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JJ3dk6KAvQM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ZRflz-93JA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big un Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 I recall Chubby Brown storming off stage in Sheffield because he was relentlessly heckled. Just goes to show, if you cant take it and are easily offended,dont dish it out. Is that a Journey album cover I saw as Stormys avatar? Respect!

big un Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 And never mind Billy Connelly at no1 in the top 100 stand up. Should have been Richard Pryor. A man way ahead of his time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

falpere Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 There have been several celebrity "Roasts" on telly over the past few days and last night was William Shatners` turn. The show was good, it was funny and close to the bone and the audience were roaring with laughter at all the fat and wig and bad actor jokes that were going Shatners way. A few nights ago we Brits had a roast of Chris Tarrant. Jimmy Carr stood and introduced Tarrants Tiswas colleague, Sally James, saying that she was like a fine wine as she aged, and like most fine wines she had turned to vinegar. The audience were horrified and hissed and booed Carr and he had to defend himself and looked very uncomfortable afterwards. The rest of the show was to say the least, tame, certainly tamer than the American versions and you could feel the frustration of the celebs as they had to hold back on their insults. I was talking to the OH afterwards and she said its because people are far too easily offended and reminded me of Carrs` joke about the injured soldiers who are returning from war zones, Carr said that we would have a cracking disabled olympic team and got into a lot of trouble because of it, in spite of the fact that he was simply repeating what the troops themselves were saying. ARE we too easily offended? Do you think that TV and radio and...well, EVERYTHING has become bland because of the fear of people being offended? I know of people who will go to a lot of trouble to watch an entire programme just so they can be horrified by what they saw and wont hesitate to complain about it. What do you think? Do these people simply exist to cause trouble? Or is it simple stupidity? I mean, if you dont wish to see or read or hear something then dont go to the trouble to experience it in the first place, yes? Any road up, DISCUSSORILLKILLYA! It's all rehearsed you know. :hihi: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falpere Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 I chanced across this last night Jabber, just at the point where one of the comedians used the 'C' word to describe another female comedian, dont think I've ever heard the word used before on a tv programme..I was shocked! Americans are generally quite prudish about bad language on TV, and this really was at the high end of that. A lot of what the guy said was funny, but his wit was devalued by what he thought was the need to shock the audience. I saw that too boy'. I switched it off after I heard the 'C' word. To be honnest I was struggling with the American sense of humour anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rupert_Baehr Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 I saw that too boy'. I switched it off after I heard the 'C' word. To be honnest I was struggling with the American sense of humour anyway. Strange, isn't it? I don't use the 'C' word in ordinary conversation ... I use 'by our lady' [bloody], and 'bugger' occasionally, but I don't ordinarily find a need to use profanities one word out of three. (My parents taught me to gargle with razorblades; I can usually slice people into small pieces using long words ... and slow strokes. - It's much more fun ) Am I offended when people swear? - Not at all. Am I offended when people can't say more than 2 or 3 words without one of those words being a swearword? - No, I'm not offended, but I'm saddened. - It's a pity when people can't express themselves adequately in their mother tongue. The 'C' word: I was at a friend's house some years ago when his daughter told us what she'd learned at school that day. Apparently, there was this King of Danish origin who thought he could hold back the tide. She told us all about 'King C**t' - Hilarious! :hihi: Apparently, you mustn't use the 'C' word (I'm going to write it here - let's see what happens - "****") But it's OK to use the 'P' word (I'll write that here - again, let's see what happens - "Prick") Amazing! - Is this some form of sexual discrimination? When I was a child, we pondered the following: "If Typhoo put the 'T' in BriTain, who put the ???? in Scunthorpe?" The answer was, of course, the same bloke who put the A*** in Arsenal." The 'obscenity editor' on this forum won't allow me to tell you the name of one of the mountains just down the road (the one with a tunnel through it which I traverse every day.) - A bit like 'Wink' but not quite. It certainly won't allow me to mention the name of a village just a few miles away. - A bit like 'Fishing' but what you might do when it's too cold to go Fishing. But I can rattle on as long as I want to about 'mushy peas'. :hihi: Not only 'YMMV' but your kilometerage may also be subtly different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
