loving Grandma and his sedentary lifestyle had a disk disintegrate in his neck and the vertebrae were crushing the nerves to his arm. So they took a part of his hip out and put it into his shoulder/neck. It would've been done months ago but he decided to have another heart attack when already in the hospital for thinking he was having a heart attack and they put him on blood thinners.

Then he poo poo himself while bitching to Ron about not getting the surgery done by the time the show came on yesterday. I'm starting to think the doctors held off on the surgery because Drama Queen was going into hysterics to the point of yet another heart attack.

They are. Back when Fez got another contract extension and then immediately went into the hospital and blamed the company for his stress, Ron remarked along the lines of how Fez signed a new contract and then immediately slammed the company with at least a million dollars work of medical costs.

Ron had a great line that if you factor in medical bills Fez is the highest paid entertainer in the history of the world.

Giraldo was a Harvard-educated lawyer with a wife and kids who wound up getting hosed up too much and dying.

I don't think Jeffries is like that at all but it's hardly "offing yourself"... it's not usually straight up suicide.

Can somebody please explain why Andy Kindler is a genius? He's respected by lots of people, alt-comics and "regular" comics alike, but I've tried and tried to understand his appeal and simply don't get it. Seen him at stand up festivals, watched sets on TV, even followed him on twitter. This isn't an Anthony defense thing, I just think the guy is kind of a hypocrite. He talks plenty about integrity, selling out, hacks, derivative comedy... but this is a guy who took a gig as a judge on Last Comic Standing after previously lambasting it. I'm not even a fan and I've heard him do that loving "has a way with 3 or 4" words joke several times now, just inserts different names. When I saw him the first time I thought "wow, this is the loving genius who talks poo poo about everyone?". The way people built him up and the amount of poo poo he talked certainly gave me the impression that I'd be watching some real next-level material. Still yet to see that from him.

He's been around forever. His standup is very 80s/90s ("in the news", pun+wordplay heavy, a lot of one-liners) observational but with this deep parodic wackiness behind it. It always straddles the line between a joke, and a joke about jokes. It's mostly his performance and delivery that sells it. http://www.earwolf.com/episode/poppin-bottles/ first part of this really highlights his style.

I used to live there and imo Just for Laughs sucks. Go to the Jazz festival instead, it's probably North America's best kept secret.

Holy poo poo, I'm not normally one to demand clips, but someone has to isolate the Ron & Fez moment from July 23rd when they pulled Chris' live read for Tito's, where he says "sharted" rather than "started". It's a little after the first break.

Even if it's a put on, Ron's laugh is legendary in its rarity. It trumps when he was cracking up from Pepper's Pepper Spray bit.

I agree however watching what he said, his point is somewhat valid and people are loving ignorant if they disagree. Just as with anything if you provoke it, it's more likely to react, a snake for instance. So when a woman is belligerent herself and acts crazy she isn't "asking for it" so much as she is running the risk of that anger going overboard in the male to where he uses physical violence. I saw his point and people are way to sensitive.

So we can tell a battered woman that maybe if she did something different then she wouldn't have been beaten? Good to know, thanks.
