Damon Wayans strikes again. Not that I expect much from the man who tried to copyright the word Nigger, but damn Damon. Have any of you seen The UnderGround**? I have to say despite knowing he tried to gain ownership of a pejorative and despite having watched many crappy episodes of My Wife and Kids I still had faith that this show might be good. I guess I was clinging to old images of Damon on In Living Color. Obviously, I was let down in a huge way. Damon is battling Holness for crappy, wannabe Chappelle, offensive-for-the-sake-of-being-offensiv e sketch "comedy" show. Have you ever seen that episode of South Park where everything Butters tried to do was already done on The Simpsons? I think the running gag was "Simpsons already did it." Well Damon, "Chappelle already did it... MUCH better, too." Remember the Niggar sketch on Chappelle? Here we have Damon trying to recreate that *and* "When Keepin it Real Goes Wrong" and a bit of the "Black White Supremacist." ...Only he left out the social relevance and the funny and left us with nothing more than corny, predictable offensiveness. ( See for yourself/NSFW (unless your job is cool with white guys using the N-word 5 times per sentenceCollapse )**If you go to the show's homepage, you can see more offensive, unfunniness. click the link that says "Sneak Peek: Peter Pan in Somalia." It really is some terrible shit that you have to see for yourself. There was one sketch where he looked like he was making his way towards funny and even social relevancy, then took a left turn at corny and cheap and just chilled there. It's a sketch with a way over-the-top airport security guard. He even "quotes" the Patriot Ace as if it were the bible (which I found to be chuckle worthy), but he ends it by sucking on a woman's exposed breast. =/ To quote him as 'Toine, HATED IT!!!!! Damon please go wherever corny comedians go to die. crossposted to blackfolk

At last! A community that gets it! I feel so alone sometimes because of the stupid shit that people think is funny and the comedians who get away with being hacks. Glad to see all the Carlos Mencia posts, because "dee dee dee" got old the first time he did it. I don't understand why people think he's so original. His jokes are nothing but the old "white people do this, and black people do this", just add more minorities. His comedy is akin to the idiots who think that gayness is a punchline.
Then there's Larry the Cable Guy and his ilk, "Blue Collar Comedy". I don't understand the appeal of it, and it annoys me that they call it Blue Collar comedy. It's condescending, it insinuates that blue collar people need their comedy dumbed down.
I'll never forget when I became disillusioned with George Carlin. It was sometime after 9/11 (I think it was about a year), and he goes onto this joke about how we can find Osama bin Laden by just having a bunch of fat guys go into the cave and fart. Wow, Carlin, time to pack it in buddy, because you just sound more and more like a crotchety old man.
Then there's Last Comic Standing, that piece of shit show. Good idea on paper, never has been in execution. Fuck the producers of that show. If I want to see Bill Dwyer that badly, I'll turn on VH1 to see him whoring himself out for whatever pop culture program is on. It utterly disgusts me how they design the show by picking the people who they think will give the best of Real World asshattery. I watched the last auditions and it angered me because there were so many great untried people who were funny, but in the end, they chose established comedians and comedians who run the same territory again and again. I stopped watching because I know we will inevitably see "And what's the deal with airline food?"
The stupid shit people will laugh at depresses me.

While trying to find out if that Dave Chappelle open letter was really written by him I found an open letter to Carlos/Ned. Good shit. Dearest Carlos, Or should I just call you Ned? That is, after all, your real name. Anyway, I love the show. Never have I had so much fun repeatedly yelling, “Oh no he didn’t!” at the screen with such fervor. However, I have a few pointers that will guarantee an even more successful career. I’m not sure you noticed, but before you go on every episode, you’re handed something. I can picture the scenario perfectly: right before the camera-man gave you the signal, a technician with a headset ran up to you and handed you this cyndrical, black object. After shooting him a quizical look, he no-doubt pantomimed holding it to his mouth, and told you that you were supposed to talk into it. Ned — whoops, I mean Carlos –, that object he handed you was called a microphone. It was invented by Emile Berliner in 1876 and was designed to amplify (or record) a person’s voice. There is no need to scream your jokes at us until the veins in your head stick out. If you talk in a normal, calm voice, we’ll hear you just fine, I promise. Beaner, nigger, wetback, chink. Sorry for that, I was just hoping to make you laugh. ( Yep yepCollapse )I need to find the author of this and marry him. Raise little Mencia hating babies with him.
