Anyone catch that earlier this week? Hilarious.
Sad to say, but Jerry is sounding more and more like his namesake, Jerry Lewis, every day. Very pompous diatribe about what is, and what isn't, funny- and how he doesn;t curse in his standup because he says it's a "shortcut" of some kind- that it "cheats" the audience for some strange reasoning. Strange explanation.
Anyway it was like listening to Jerry Lewis all over again.
What a shame.

He quite correctly means that any jerk can stand up in front of a drunken audience and shock them for laughs by using swear words and dirty jokes. Jerry uses intelligent, insightful, anecdotes to elicit humour. It is much more difficult, much more creative and far more entertaining.

Didn't Jerry recently say the World Trade Center should be rebuilt as three towers, sending the message,"Go F**k Yourself" to our enemies? Jerry doesn't use profanity often (in his act), but he does use it.
