Is very snow-broth;
One who never feels
The wanton stings and
Motions of the sense

I love this one about sweet Camaros. It's also funny how hard it is to find this video if you just search YouTube for "sweet Camaro". There's way too many real douchebag videos.

Going back to Phil being his own worst enemy: no. He's a complete cock about giving away his material, HIS MATERIAL!, for free. He does not understand how much good putting some of his really amazing stuff on YouTube would do for his subscription service. I was hoping against hope that I could find a link to "PLANE GO BOOM", a fantastic post 9-11 bit where a guy tries to train mentally retarded people to scan people's luggage for weapons, but the best I could find was an interview he did with John McCain. Or "All You Can Eat Negro" or his Herb Sewell bit where a reformed pedophile saves a child's life and he wants to take him to Disneyland as a reward. He has absolutely no clue as to how to use the internet to his advantage. He's like an angry Bill Larson.

I keep meaning to get off my rear end and make a good OP a Phil Hendrie thread, but, y'know, I'm a busy guy. When I finally get to it, I'll try to post a couple clips. For as much as a dickhead he can be, he's an incredibly talented guy.

I don't know what bits he's done that are an especially good representation of his work, that's why I asked. Typing his name into Youtube is fine if anything he does is gold, but I would assume that's not the case. DangerDummy has mentioned some specific stuff that was especially good, so I asked him if there was some way to hear it myself.

Don't worry about it, you weren't wrong in asking the question.

Yeah, I actually knew him from when he was on the show "New Girl" for a few episodes a year ago, but I didn't even know his name or that he was actually a radio personality and not an actor simply playing a radio personality. Interesting to find out he's somewhat prolific in the radio world.

One thing I'll always be grateful to Dennis Miller for is that when I was watching him at 12-13 years old, his material and show encouraged me to follow politics, which I think is fairly important. And Dennis has a better reason than some for turning right-wing post 9/11 (he lost a friend in the attack, IIRC), although sadly, the man has completely lost his fastball, both comedically and mentally. It's really hard to take the critical thinking skills of somebody who said the words "George W Bush made it alright to respect the office President of the US again" seriously. He also popped up on Diners Drive-Ins and Dives recently, which made me sad because Guy Fieri is the kind of tool Dennis used to mock regularly on HBO.

I was about the same age when I first got into Dennis Miller. He really was a phenomenal stand up, and I watched his HBO talk show every Friday night (1-800-LACTOSE). To be honest, I didn't hate him on Monday Night Football either, just because he was so not up to the task and awkward that I thought he lent an odd and interesting angle to the commentary.

I gave his radio a listen a couple times just because I thought, yeah, he may be a bit of a right wing nut now, but he's still got to be funny every now and again. He really isn't though. "Lost his fastball" is a perfect metaphor, honestly. Plus, the way he sucks Bill O'Reilly's rear end is just disgusting. It's like he's seeking a father's approval.

Lots of people lost friends and family on 9/11 I don't know why thats suddenly a reason for switching sides. Especially since Bush had prior knowledge of the attacks and did nothing.

I'm not saying it magically makes it okay, but I am saying I could see how it would make somebody change their minds about political philosophy, especially if they feel that right-wingers will take the action for somebody they lost.

There are a million reasons to ruin things.
Some people flipped their lid after 9/11 and went from left-liberal to crazy neocon. David Mamet is another example that comes to mind. It's not exactly rational but that doesn't mean it didn't happen.

Comic book writer-artist Frank Miller fully embraced his inner fascist after 9/11 (but really, if you read The Dark Knight Returns you'll see that he was always sort of pro-fascist). It also steeled a lot of atheists into being more strident and forthcoming with their views.

Anyway, I like Maron's podcast. :)

edit; You know what would be a great WTF episode? Dennis Miller.

Everyone went crazy after 9/11. Nobody remembers this now but if you did anything but react by filling up your gas tank and worshipping GW and beat the war drum people would call you a piece of poo poo and ostracize you. Even in liberal college towns. It was like three months before people with peace symbol stickers on their cars stopped getting their tires slashed.

She's like 28 or 29. Their origin story is pretty screwed up (she emailed him essentially as a groupie and they set up a sex weekend, then she was texting him pictures of her vagina and stuff) but whatever, good luck to them.

When you deal with the hecklers I do at shows, it kind of becomes ingrained in you (I love hecklers, by the way, because I destroy them). It's reflexive, knee-jerk poo poo. You always have to be ready to strike back. I was just "hazed" into a "fraternity" of comics and I'm sort of in that state of mind.

I'm not making excuses, just explaining my thought process. I apologize for coming off as a dick.

Also, I'm a cripple in chronic pain, so add the "constantly mad at the world" aspect and you can understand my disposition. I'm working on the anger and defensive issues, though. So again, I apologize.

You would not believe the leaps I've taken since then. Stage fright, or at least for me, vanished after the first joke I told. The audience is not intimidating at all. And I've found a knack for ad-libbing and crowd work to be more enjoyable than my prepared jokes.

Not only am I destroying hecklers, I'm trolling crappy audiences. People say you can't get addicted to something the first time you do it.... those people never tried stand-up comedy.
