Rosie O'Donnell did it as a Christmas Special. Stephen Colbert sort of did it as a Christmas Special. Do we only get Variety Shows as Christmas Specials now?<br /><br />OK.

I can remember being at the True Colors tour and watching her perform to an audience that was overwhelmingly gay white men, and cringing as she did impression after impression of her mom's accent.

It's kinda funny.<br /><br />The word "FUCK" is synonymous with sex and violent degradation. "Fuck that noise," does not generally mean you want to metaphorically have sex with a sound. Every time someone uses the word "fuck" they tacitly assert the premise that "sex = violent degradation." Yes?<br /><br />Will comedians stop saying "FUCK" just because it's offensive? Fuck no!<br /><br />What passes for funny and for professionally funny is rarely genuinely humorous or clever. Some of it is downright nauseating.<br /><br />Comedians walk the tightrope along what is socially acceptable. "Did he go TOO far this time?" They mistake outrage for being relevant. And they mistake nervous twitters at sophomoric tastelessness for being clever or genuinely funny.<br /><br />It used to be that "The Drunk Driver" was a perfectly decent set up for a joke. Now Drunk Drivers aren't seen as that funny anymore. Society changes.<br /><br />A little over 20 years ago, John McCain told a rape joke. It got a laugh. It wasn't funny. But twenty years later he got called on the carpet for it. Maybe we are making progress.<br /><br />http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/07/15/sources-recall-mccains-jo_n_112955.html<br /><br />Here's an interesting piece too;<br />http://www.washingtoncitypaper.com/blogs/sexist/2009/05/27/who-can-make-a-rape-joke/<br /><br />Amanda Hess has written a lot of interesting analysis on the subject!<br /><br />http://www.washingtoncitypaper.com/blogs/sexist/2009/07/02/the-onions-best-and-worst-rape-jokes/Rustyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05673189030644074151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7967227554286265253.post-13957218677371778152009-07-28T08:17:19.981-05:002009-07-28T08:17:19.981-05:00I can't wait to read her book, too!I can't wait to read her book, too!Emma Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14030179586489879538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7967227554286265253.post-59144830785987577802009-07-22T01:19:42.651-05:002009-07-22T01:19:42.651-05:00Don't forget Lauren & Lena's classic o...Don't forget Lauren & Lena's classic original "Guacamole Ukulele Song".

I think Nichols and May must be the only comedy duo where BOTH partners went on to become important film directors. They were a seminal (sorry if that is a sexist word, but I can't think of the female equivalent) improv-style team, quite popular in the late 50's and early 60's, especially among the liberal intelligentsia of the day.Donhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11726867987985696567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7967227554286265253.post-25263064831910789062009-06-11T17:30:10.370-05:002009-06-11T17:30:10.370-05:00I prefer "Please Don't Untie My Shoes&quo...I prefer "Please Don't Untie My Shoes", but a good post nonetheless.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08841877309152849278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7967227554286265253.post-14202537991701317852009-06-06T16:25:44.073-05:002009-06-06T16:25:44.073-05:00Thank you for your interest, funnebone.
