Title: Anyone else want to strangle Raymond Romano?
Post by: makenzie71 on May 02, 2007, 04:38:12 PM
How does anyone find him funny?  He's almost as bad as Ben Stiller.

black's cool so long as he's not playing a serious role and when he's not trying to be too much "Farley".

Yes Ray romano needs to be run over by a freight train ... twice ... that would be funny.
Woody allen is funny in a sad sorta way, but my wife hates him ... Black - so so ... Tom Green is utterly dismal ...
Cool.

The only thing tom green has ever done that I thought was humorous was a couple minutes into his "plumber" skit on thank god you're here.  I nearly died when he adjusted the channel locks...because every man on the planet has a pair of pain in the ass channel locks that just don't change channels easily.

Jack Black stopped being funny when I gave up crack cocaine & having vodka for breakfast.  :cookoo:

Ray Romano is about as funny as a poke up the bum with a big stick.  :o

Nope I did mean a big stick. We have all different size sticks down under, from little ones to big ones, to "oh my goodness thats a bloody big stick"  :laugh:

I guess you use sticks for some interesting things down there.....
here we use them mostly for beating children


why is Wal-mart open 24 hrs a day....so people on 2nd shift can beat their children also......

Oh yeah sticks can be used for many things, including beating children & dogs :laugh:

To biggest use for sticks seems to be using them for pointing. It's amazing what you can point a stick at or how many things you can point at with a stick.  :thumb:

Re runs. But that show was a lot better than just him, he's upstaged by his mom (as is the intent) so he's not that offensive there.
He was the host on one SNL one time 3-4 years ago and man was he pathetic on it. Now I believe he does stand up and it must be disgusting.
Cool.

Ok... Big australian stick... Like a digeridoo. Those produce crazy sounds ... very cool.

But steer clear of the rear -- But at least you'd get a bassy fart.

You want to check out some funny stand up, check out Louis C.K.'s routine called "Shameless" or Ron Whites "They Call Me 'Tater Salad'".

I do not love Raymond.  I resent them claiming that everybody does.  Not only do I not love him, I might hate him.  So they're way off.

Other notable comedy hall of shame inductees, aka, how the hell did you get famous?
Carlos Mencia
Wanda Sykes
Tim Allen
Jimmy Kimmel

I'm sure you'll disagree, but I find their attempts at comedy insulting to the art.

Some true hall of famers:
Dane Cook (though he's been pissing me off lately)
Dave Chapelle
Jon Stewart
Stephen Colbert
Bonnie Hunt (maybe my only female inductee in my HOF, have you seen her improv?  Keeps up with another hero, Steve Martin)
Ryan Stiles
the list goes on

I don't like Tim Allen's sitcoms and a lot of his movies, but his stand up and such is pretty good.  I think he does really well when other people aren't writing his stuff.

Dane cook used to be funny.  Sad.

Comedy based on racism, bitches-n-hos, and things that are supposed to be funny just because the guy says shaZam! and f%$k a lot piss me off so guys like mencia are right out.  I can tolerate Carlin because he was the first and because everything pisses him off...I can relate.

The only thing that really angers me, though, is comedy based on the extreme misfortune and spinelessness of men...so Raymond Romano and Ben Stiller just irk me.  I actually want to hurt people after watching a Ben Stiller movie.

Tim Allen stand up is OK, his sit com was OK but by now feels dated and made up ... but his movies are total crap ...
Carlin is great, and he understands that comedy isn't just about 4 letter words. He is borderline satire and the only thing worse than his peeves are the solutions he offers to his peeves. I can bet if someone actually implemented his solution, he'd be even more pissed ... worse yet, he knows his solutions are worse than the problem.
Prison overcrowding and traffic accident bits come to mind. Insane.
He was in a sit com ... lasted 3 episodes ... yes it was that bad.
Cool.
Srinath.
