Mr. Hakujin Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Sam Kinison: 20 years gone. R.I.P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thelogan Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 I've gotta say, I'm a huge comedy fan, but I don't really care for Kinison as a human being. Kati found a CD in a parking lot once (still sealed) and I was like "OH, cool! I always wanted to hear more from this guy!" Very excited. I'm not going to call it moral outrage or anything, I hate when people do that, but I disagreed with nearly every point he made. I'm not going to automatically dislike a guy who has a different world view than me, I like lots of racist/homophobic/conservative/fascist comedians. But he just wasn't doing much for me. I got a laugh or two, but they were cheap. It's one of those "I don't get the hype" moments for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iambaytor Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 It's one of those "I don't get the hype" moments for me. We should put you in a zoo. So people can come from all over and see the only person on the face of the planet who doesn't appreciate Kinnison's contribution to the art that is comedy :( I keeed. Kind of. Seriously though, on a scale of 1 to 10, how deaf are you? :P Yes, I'm just being an asshole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thelogan Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Yeah, I thought of the comparison too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keth Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 I've kinda always felt that wy about George Carlin. Not that he doesn't have some good points, I just don't find him funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iambaytor Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 George Carlin's early stuff is funny, but there's a point (I've never studied his stuff close enough to pinpoint it) where he stopped telling jokes and just became a bitter angry old man.
