What's the deal with...
...comedians who are about 90% predictable?
The poor guy who opened for Titus told jokes about how small airplane seats are. He managed to not compare airline food to styrofoam, but not by much. His best jokes centered on getting his eyebrows waxed. Him I just feel sorry for. He clearly isn't a pro.
Lisa Lampenelli has no such excuse, though. I just caught 10 minutes of a routine while I was folding clothes. She told the same joke three times. A joke I started to suspect was juvenile and offensive in Seventh Grade. What joke, you ask? Wow, I bet that black man has a big penis!
I switched it off, went upstairs, and tried to wrestle a wet wool sweater onto my shower curtain rod. A couple of times, the sweater almost won. Afterwards, I had to find not one but two buckets to catch the drips.
Anyone watching this would have been laughing.
What can I say? That's comedy!
