I had to divorce both of them because I don't deal well with stupid. I'm a highschool droppout, and couldn't tolerate the amount of stupid that came out of thier mouths on a daily basis.

      @@Genevieve1023 Absolutely do they not try hard anymore. An announcer will present a comic as "one of the greatest of all time", and then the audience is presented with a 1h 30min show, barraged of m***f***, sh**, f** (lots and lots of f***), ni****, cu***, pu***, etc. Somehow, the majority of the audience ends up laughing 'uncontrollably' when most of the lines are not even funny or witty. For me, it gives me a mental headache and a sense of dread that somehow, the common working man can relate only to profanity and crude sex jokes to forget their worries and feel happy. With these comics, there is no balance and variety in their approach. Just the same algorithm with every new comedy special that they release.

      I agree! I remember almost 20 yrs ago Howie Mandel (sp?) came to our town. The theater was packed. The guy before him was SO funny and never was foul mouthed. Then Howie came on stage and everyone was shocked to see him bald. He was funny, but was so foul mouthed and embarrassed people in the process, that I wanted to get up and walk out. It was disgusting, and people were not pleased. Even the mayor's wife had said later that he wouldn't be invited there again.
