To be honest I really have a hard time getting into many stand up comedians period anymore. Sometimes people like Richard Pryor can still make me chuckle but so many of them just use their comedy as platforms to talk about their exaggerated personal lives, political opinions or about how they hate everyone but in a "funny" way. Some just strike me as obnoxious, like Gallagher and the dude with the ventriloquist dummies.
I'm more of fan of the kind of humor you see in a show like Arrested Development or in a Kurt Vonnegut book.
My thoughts exactly--especially in regard to Richard Pryor and Kurt Vonnegut.
But there is one so-called comedian who makes me change the channel every time: David Spade. What an unfunny jerk.
