I love how they stare at a case as if they will acquire see through vision at that moment and pick the winner! I'm not sure if you are serioius about Howie Mandell or not, but I saw him do stand-up about 12 years ago and was stunned just how funny he was. Maybe he was just on that night because I've seen some of his specials which tend to be crap, but the man has some great improv skills.
No, I mean, physically, I couldn't believe that was him.
I love him bald.
Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away
Alright, subject change:
The primary colors: what??
He's not joking about the man being beaten (in the sense that that action was funny). He's joking about the size of the officer's cahones for what they said in court.
"The leads are weak!"
"The leads are weak? Fuckin' leads are weak? You're Weak! I've Been in this business 15 years"

You need to listen to all that's out there. His musings on the Rodney King beating makes me ache from laughter!
i love Hicks... but you know that Lenny Bruce might be my favourite US comedian on that edgy genre... broke the mould that guy
oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.
Ooooh, I'm not sure about the beer. OK, you got me with the warm weather, you know I'm a sucker for it, it's cos I'm descended from pirates of the Carribean, or Meditteranian apparently....
Trust me, the beer is excellent. And I don't even like beer!
Yeah, tis all that pirating that went on round the Welsh coast James. All those spanish heathens come to rape and pillage!

Bruce is hands down the originator of stand-up as Americans know it today. His insistance to be arrested for his material rather than be censored is incredible! Plus he was very funny. With that being said, most of his material is too outdated for me to enjoy as much as Carlin or Hicks.

Woah, I'm pretty sure there's nothing doing there laugh wise, irony or not. Let's move on.
I would probably laugh if someone did an axe in Hitler's head joke.
'We're learning songs for baby Jesus' birthday. His mum and dad were Merry and Joseph. He had a bed made of clay and the three kings bought him Gold, Frankenstein and Merv as presents.'

I heard Heather Mills McCartney was a Nazi... took her until the Third Hike to climb a hill in Germany.

See how quiet it is all of a sudden?
Bad topic to mention, very bad topic, worse than poitics for pub talk, really about the worst one.

There's plenty of bad examples of jokes that shouldn't be made. Plenty of words that shouldn't be said. Plenty of a lot of things. To those I offended I am sorry. It was not to make light of the Holocaust. Please resume your drinking thread.

Wasn't a judgement on you my friend, don't be offended.
Hicks was a controversial guy, no? We were talking about him, so fair enough. I have this German friend, he lived nearby for a while, and one night some fucker mentioned it in the pub......what a fucking bad scene that was, one to forget I can tell you.

I'm not offended. To my knowledge Hicks doesn't even have a Holocaust routine. There, in it's audacity, was the joke. But I'm ready to move on. How about everyone else?

but the 'focker' probably mentioned it out of spite and and did the usual hooligan thing of the holocaust and nazi thing being a joke.. which it isnt.. but Hicks had more nous than the average guy in the pub.. controversial he was, but i think his views are quite libertarian in the scheme of things.. he hated war, guns, death sentences, authoritarianism and homophobia... great guy in my book

To be honest, all it takes to get appropriate humour out of a very dark subject is a bit of intelligence.

As soon as the drinks start flowing it will be impossible to remain pc! Speaking of which. I don't even drink! WTF am I doing in this thread anyways?!?!?

OK, but what shall we call it so that we'll get the widest possible audience? (Don't mention the war!)

You're correct.
I also remember the routine I heard was going on about the 1st Gulf war, he was very against it..."the elite republican guard in Iraq is the 3rd biggest army...what they didn't tell us was that after the top 2...there's a big fuckin drop off..."
I got that he's anti war from what I heard.
And stop being so bloody smart Dunk, you're throwing me.

No worries. Without the knowledge of the bit how could you know what it was about?
Edited to avoid offending any further.
