COMedy Central...? ...More like CONedy Central!
I don't normally get worked up by Internet morons (well, not that often) but the IMDB.com boards are fantastic in their stupidity and terrible taste (Y'know there are Manos fans - yes, people are animals) ... so it's kind of a fresh breath of air to reply to someone I viciously disagree with. Well, remember that show Con? Skyler Stone? Ugly guy who described himself as looking like the guy in Bill & Ted who isn't Keanu (at least he's honest with himself)... well, I thought that show was pretty much bunk. Must be easy to be a con artist when you got a whole con team and every connection in L.A. right?
A little while back I found a board on IMDB that believed Skyler Stone was actually posting there using his "Mike St. Aubin" alias. How clever. Here was my post about the faux phenomenon:
Do you guys really believe this guy is Skyler Stone or are you just humoring him because Skyler Stone is an untalented jackass? You know, this is THE INTERNET. There is nothing to prove that this is or isn't who he says he is. And what proof do we have? His word? What *beep* good is HIS WORD - the word of the guy who used to star in a stupid Comedy Central show titled "CON" (DUUUHH)? Let alone, his WORD on the INTERNET.So for some reason, people always see the need to defend movie/TV/music/gardening stars, no matter what. I mean, who would fucking fly to the defense of a celebrity? As if their honor or lives depend on the respect they get. These people don't need you defending them. At all. They need fucking help for sure, but to get all snappy when someone says "Fuck Tom Cruise?"
Jesus *beep* Christ.
Actually, it's not difficult to believe Skyler Stone posts here. The dude didn't deserve a show, he was just a regular douche. Nothing special about him. He should be selling me socks at Target.
Me: Have you seen Tom Cruise lately? He used to be the man but now he's fucking nuts.Can you feasibly come to the defense of Courtney Love or Tom Sizemore or Jennifer Lopez, let alone Skyler Stone, someone who's known by maybe three people in the world?
Forum Looney: You're just jealous of his success.
Me: Jealous of a guy who's lost all touch with reality? Not bloody likely.
Forum Looney: I'LL FIND YOU AND POUR CEMENT DOWN YOUR ASS.
Well, eventually, someone mentions Stella and Carlos Menica amid the Con-fellating:
you like Stella and you hate Carlos Mencia. Christ, you have some awful taste in entertainment. Stella is probably the worst show I have ever seen on Comedy Central, just watching it for three seconds made me want to vomit. Carlos Mencia is hilarious because he shys away from nothing and has no patience for stupid people. Con was alright, there were a few good ones but nothing special.So, my brain snapped and I haaaaaaad to type this out in reply:
No, wait, YOU have awful taste in entertainment. Holy shit, you have TERRIBLE taste in entertainment. I haven't met one person yet who's ever laughed at a "joke" by Mencia. I can't even imagine such a person.
First, to Stella's defense: I didn't think much of it at first either but it's atually charming, warm and funny and has personality. It's funny as hell and SMART without being "offensive" or "edgy." The humor itself is "dumb" (as in, the characters are idiots) but it's well-written and often hilarious. I hope it runs on to become a classic someday.
Humor doesn't have to be "honest" or "dirty" to be good. It doesn't have to be racial or political or involve timely issues. More often than not, that kind of shit SUCKS. To make an analogy look at Shark Tale or Shrek then look at Finding Nemo or Toy Story. Guess which movies are funnier and better.
Carlos Mencia's a hack. The guy just yells about shit. He and his fans can go straight to hell. All Carlos Menica has on his side is RACE. He is a fucking, bigoted racist UNFUNNY jackass. Yeah, WE GET IT. You're MEXICAN. FUCK YOU. Tell some REAL goddamn jokes, say something insightful. Him and D.L. Hughley. Race, race, race, race, race. MOVE ON.
They are third-rate comedians on par with Andy Dick, Jimmy Kimmel, his huge-fucking-headed gay partner and the other talentless fucktards who roasted Pam "Dumb as Shit" Anderson. Comedy Central pisses me off because all it does (since it lost Chappelle, who wisely cancelled his own show - THAT is "respect") is give bottom-shelf "comics" backwards-ass TV shows that - get this - aren't funny. In fact, they're the exact opposite. They're dishwater. THAT is what's offensive. These "comedians" should shut the fuck up already and do something more appropriate with their "skills" - like clean public lavatories.
Reading everything over I notice I like to refer to crappy cartoons, Mike Nelson and Monty Python. And elaborate and exaggerate. Hyperbole's good too.
GodfuckingDAMMIT I love hyperbole.
