enigma Posted December 12, 2005 Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 Well, I realize you don't know anything about me, but I was smokin' stuff in '71, droppin' stuff in '73 and snortin' stuff in '75. I was sorta advanced for my age, you see? By the time I reached Uni, when most people only start such things, I was already bored with it. :: Truth be told, probably the main reason I didn't "get it" was, frankly, I was a white kid living in upscale suburban America. Although Pryor's routine on SNL in '76 about droppin' stuff was spot-on hilarious. :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sayjann Posted December 12, 2005 Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 i admit i don't find a lot of American Humour funny. never saw anything in his standup routine which really made me laugh. the examples you gave of British humour are not standup and i again think Bean was so puerile. MP are a National Institution but i still find much of their stuff unfunny. funniest standup comedian for me is Billy Connolly,far superior to Pryor.

sayjann Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 it's very strange for me. i love humour and like what i like but if it's not funny then i don't like it (does that make sense)? never liked Pryor,Williams or Dangerfield in standup or their comedic Films. and who was the Fella caught wanking in a Porno Cinema?........ i started to like Robim Williams when he went serious and started to make thrillers. he turned out to be quite a good Actor and good to watch. Imsonia with Pacino was good and i was gripped. and i just found that the American re-makes of British Comedies were clueless. but at least the attitude is changing with Series like 'Sex In The City' and 'Weeds' the 'BAD ' words are coming out and that is real life. but i will admit that Married With Children was funny and Christina Applegate is a REAL BABE...........

gummigut Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 Pryor live/stand up was another league all together. Only a few of his films did I ever like. But his stand up persona was an amazing shock for me as he never really impressed with his films. <<burp>> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALHOLK Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 Christina Applegate is a REAL BABE The word is was. I saw a recent picture of a couple of days ago and she hasn't aged well. She isn't ugly but not anywhere near what she was when Married with Children was recorded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
