    A friend of mine got the Dara dvd and said it was good, so will probably borrow it.

    Really looking forward to seeing Frankie Boyle and Russell Howard's live dvds. All they need now is one from Hugh Dennis to complete the mock the week regulars. Might check out Lee Evans new one as well....comedy filled christmas for me :D

    Never warmed to him, comical in There's Something About Mary though.:D

    Ha ha class! I loved it once the song kicked in.:D I'm not really into comedians these days, the only one I never get tired of is Ricky Gervais. I can watch Animals and Politics all day long.:D

    Favorite Ricky joke off Animals:



    I just love his face when he "catches" the elephant.

    I would attribute Bub's posting to his recent subscription to a certion website which covers something off topic so I wont. :p

    Harsh, I've been posting here for a solid year or two now and the only thing that board changed was my opinion of you (for the better)

    Also, for what it's worth while we're on comedians Mitch Hedberg reigned supreme and a successor has yet to be found

    Seen this before and i still dont think there is a better, more filled 5 minute monologue.

    One thing i dont get, why is his hand shaking so much?

    Considering the way he died "multiple drug toxicity including cocaine and heroin, as the official cause of death" it shouldn't be too hard to figure out. He took ridiculous amounts of everything

    I know we aint supposed to speak wrestling here, but don't want to start a thread for this one small question - Mick Foley is constantly slagging TEST in his awful Hardcore Diaries. is this a zany rib or is there actually something to it? If the latter, what caused it?

    Not sure if it's a rib but I've heard him say before in a shoot interview that Test was quite insecure about the fact Stacy Keibler used to enjoy spending time with him. I don't think he's a Testicle anyway. :pac:

    On the subject of great comedians anyone know if Bill Bailey's DVD Tinselworm is any good? I'm going to watch it later. :cool:

    Guys, please don't talk wrestling in here, no matter how small the subject. I don't want a snowball effect starting off. Please start a thread for a question if it involves wrestling. Cheers.

    well believe it or not mitch actually had incredible stage fright, look for some of his old (i mean really early) stuff and he used to perform with his back to the audience so he would be able to over come it! that covers a certain amount of the hand shake!

    not sure if this bit is true tho: he wears the tinted glasses because it obscures his view of the audience, hence helps teh stage fright!

    Both of those ideas make sense.

    I like how he seems like hes not just rhyming jokes off. Thats definitely something not many comedians have these days, frankie boyle is one exception.

    Same with the word "Mate".

    I work with a philipino dude and he is one in a million, great guy, but says both of those words a lot.

    He attributes his english grammer from his teachers in school being american and british. And a lot of the material being advertisments, soap operas and wrestling.
    (no joke, he is a huge TNA fan)

    Not really, it's actually more 80s, especially in Aussie terminology.
    Paul Hogan used it a lot, probably more often than any Irish ever did.

    Every sentance I form in real life I rotate from mate, dude, man and brah. I like to keep them fresh and unprecictable. I also like saying ta, and on certain occasions "ta mate" if I'm thanking a friend

    mate

    I say cheers and mate a lot, might have something to do with me being half-English, must have picked them up from that side of my family at some stage.

    I also say dude a lot, but that's probably just from watching too much ninja turtles as a kid

    Funny story;

    My brothers friend was standing outside a nightclub one night when he was approached by some sham. The sham asks him if he has a cigarette and he says "no sorry dude, don't smoke".

    The sham responds with "Dude? Don't call me dude!" The sham proceeds to chase him down a very long road with a knife.:D Oh wait, that's not actually funny!:(:P

    Maybe it is funny to your friends but on a message board where nobody knows anybody else or their personality types, no its not that funny.
