Lol man Dice's Wikipedia article is sad. He's done like 1-2 things through the 2010's, and it just stops in 2018. This is the entirety of his "In Popular Culture" section. On the third season Murphy Brown episode "Brown and Blue," Murphy reluctantly is made to interview a rising yet crudely controversial comedian, Tony Rocket (Michael Chiklis), whose character is loosely modeled on Clay's "The Diceman" and his material during the height of his popularity.

Dice got some mild Oscar buzz for A Star Is Born and also got good reviews in Blue Jasmine. He may be washed up as a comic, but he's rebounded fine from his nadir in the mid-00s.

I feel like Dice would really fit in with the Joe Rogan crowd but he's too old.

There was an interview with, I think, Jon Lovitz a few years ago where he gives a different point of view. Nora was near the end of her contact and hadn't been on air very much at the time. In fact, she wasn't appearing in any sketches that week. So when she announced this, the rest of the cast was pissed. Many of them were not thrilled with Dice being a guest either but Nora's decision made them all look like they were all OK with it.

There was a guy in my high school, a big loud rear end in a top hat who thought he was a comedian and did obnoxious impressions of the all the most offensive bits from Sam Kinison, Eddie Murphy, and of course Dice. I sat next to this dude in class and endured him doing the whole nursery rhyme bit every day thinking man this Dice guy must really suck. Then the SNL appearance and surrounding controversy happened and I watched it out of curiosity and I remember thinking it was funny as hell. His monologue was insane. People were booing and heckling which never happened on SNL and there was an intensely hostile vibe. At one point Dice responded to a heckler with “yeah, I bet you’re one of these guys who gets off hanging around public bathrooms sniffing other guys’ crap all day” and the audience didn’t know how to respond. As I recall, when the episode was rerun, they edited out that line. The only actual sketch I remember is one with him and Jon Lovitz doing this goofy slapstick scene from Raging Bull. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ndAsGtkBl74 I don’t think I heard anything from Dice again until around 1997 when I first started listening to the HSS and Dice and Howard had that brutal fight over the phone and Dice came off as completely pathetic. Edit: Howard’s Dice bashing went on for weeks after that fight and included Wood Yi doing nursery rhymes about how washed up he was.

Did he do a TV series where he played a normal Dad and completely dropped the "Dice" character? Or did I dream that?I do remember seeing his comeback special on HBO and he completely bombed. He ended up lighting cigarette (after admitting he quit years ago), and brought of the Dice act out. Dice's act is very dated but it seems odd to me that people poo poo on him, but think Sam Kinison was the greatest of all time. It might be that Sam's tragic death earns him some sympathy but if he were alive today I guarantee he'd be a huge right-wing comedian and people would be quick to dismiss him.

Yeah, Dice tried to do his own ripoff of Married With Children called Bless This House and it tanked in one season. Of course it doesn't help when you use a notorious R rated comic and put him on CBS prime time.

Dice had the same issue a lot of those early 80’s comedians did in that at a certain point their characters that started as parody became their real personas and they bought their own hype. Those first couple of Kinison specials are great. The whole joke is that he’s this sad angry guy who hates his wife but he’s too scared to do anything about it. But then you get the later specials where he thinks he’s some cool rock star. Dice is the same way. Early dice is a parody of all the dumb jersey guys he knew but then he started believing his own hype and thought he was this cool rockstar and bought his own hype.

Obviously it ends up making them out of touch. Even today, there are comedians that make a big splash with their first comedy album and ride it in to an arena tour and quickly become irrelevant and loathed. If you look at most comedians that get famous but keep their fanbase, the vast majority of them never play anything larger than a theater and still play in smaller clubs on occasions.

I swear that whole Blue Collar Comedy thing that Jeff Foxworthy was doing ran for at least a decade. They weren't leading "rock star lives" but they can sell out multiple nights in big venues.

That is because the purpose of the whole thing is to have Dice walk into a club with no material and unannounced to the audience, and have him bomb while improving to piss off the audience. I completely understand why people find it hard to listen to, because in the end it is comedy for other comedians instead of the supposedly target audience. I can only imagine how many bored comedians have dared other comedians to bomb on purpose just so they can get a laugh at the expense of the audience. Dice just did it when he was one of the biggest draws and made a Rick Rubin produced double album out of it. Might not be funny, but it is art.

I understand all that you've wrote and I hope I don't come off as arrogant, which isn't my intention, but I kinda think it's weird that the best comedy album of all time... isn't funny. What is the funniest comedy album of all time? I'm personally a huge fan of Norm's "Ridiculous" album.

On a different topic, I just saw that someone posted the Riley Martin Thanksgiving Special where he is just completely loving hammered: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WkhQbcolUmc The best part is when he starts to answer a stupid question and doesn't even get a sentence out before completely fading out, then proceeds to try and drunkenly promote things and you can't understand a word he is saying: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WkhQbcolUmc&t=1146s
