He may very well be the only comedian I truly love whose demeanor can override any possibly subpar material. Him and Emo.
: but seriously, you have enjoyed his body of work? i don’t think i have found one thing he has ever done to be even remotely humorous. as of late, i've seen more of him in talking head mode, and his smarmy i-know-it-all-and-you-are-too-stupid-to-understand attitude has really rubbed me politically raw.
All of it? No. Truthfully, I tend to not regard his more recent material. I think once he saw Bill Hicks and jumped on the whole JFK-conspiracy-nut bus, he did fall from grace in my eyes. My appreciation for him may very well be colored by sheer nostalgia. Y'know, before everything got all def.
: be all that as it may, i still love ya like the brother i never needed.
Right back atcha, slick.
