Estee 55195 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 06-17-04, 12:23 PM (EST) "Last Comic Standing Love List Version 2.1: Counting in Base Ten" I don't think we had this last year. I'm not sure it's warranted, necessary, welcome, or has any point to its existence this year. But if I'm good at nothing else, I'm good at the creation of entirely pointless posts that no one ever pays much attention to, and this seems like a perfect chance to exercise my skill. So, since we seem to have gotten enough of an initial impression of the contestants to decide who should and shouldn't have gone into The House, we're probably at the point where we know who we like, who we hate, and who we're personally funnier than. Remember: comedy is subjective, ranking lists are objective -- wait. Nevermind. Make that 'Comedy is subjective, ranking lists are offensive.' Closer to the mark. 1: John Heffron. The most consistently funny through the first few rounds, and while he's repeated a couple of general themes, I don't think he's done a joke twice yet. Arguably the most mobile of the group on stage, and the most physical in his act. May have been born to trip over a Davenport. 2: Jay London. Apparently shtick isn't dead: it just went into hibernation for fifty years and then crawled out of the cave, which explains both the outfit and the hair. Amazing stage presence for someone who looks like Steven Wright after two hours in a press. And besides, on this site, everyone has a job in the Beyond department. 3: Alonzo Bodden. Must be the BB&B: his routine about helplessness in the face of dust ruffles was the funniest extended bit of the opening rounds. His rough past seems to have given him some interesting depths: he can tap a large field of issues for comedy, and most of them will have that crucial Voice Of Experience. I'd like to see him trot out a thought-provoker before this is over. 4: Kathleen Madigan. Somehow, it hasn't been what you've been saying as much as it's been how you've been saying it. She may be devastating once she starts pulling out the actual jokes. As-is, she's the one whose experience shows the most in her ability to work out the timing on anything hitting the microphone. 5: Tammy Pescatelli. Imagine how good she'd be if she was tapping into original material. But as long as she's got a very basic, almost obvious 'me and my (fill in ethnic group) family', she'll be middle of the road. 6: Gary Gulman. So you're tall. And you're Jewish. And you're fairly attractive. And you've got the rush of words at the end of a routine down pat. Is there anything else you can do, or was that it? 7: Todd Glass. Funnier off-stage than on, which is probably why he got into the house. But unless he can carry some more of that up to the microphone, he probably won't be long for The House -- unless he is, in fact, the second coming of The Don. Which may be the other reason he got into The House. 8: Bonnie McFarlane. This is probably the eye candy factor. It sure wasn't the ear candy factor. 9: Corey Holcomb. I'm sure there's more to you than a basic ghetto-talking, female-degrading, street-cred comedian. I just don't think you're going to let anyone see it. 10: Ant. There are many funny situations that can come from being gay. I hope you find yourself involved in one someday and report back. There are also many funny things in the world that do not require being gay to discover. It would be nice if you got involved with one. For starters, you could discover the joy of a pulse rate under 140.   Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

"RE: Last Comic Standing Love List Version 2.1: Counting in Base Ten" Clap-clap-clap-clap, very good. You did a great job at being the real judge. Brett & Drew are OK, but it is sooooo obvious that they are in on it all, and are acting as if they are upset; NOT. I'm going to guess that you are a writer of some sorts, or at least a wana-be. I enjoyed that, thanks.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

I think you've pretty much nailed it, IMO. I will switch the top 2 though, and I'll rank Corey a little higher.... I wonder who will be challenged first? 1. Jay 2. Jeff 3. Alonzo 4. Kathleen 5. Tammy 6. Gary 7. Corey 8. Todd 9. Bonnie 10. Ant Snazzy new sigpic by Slice Survivor All Stars PTB Champ!   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

"RE: Last Comic Standing Love List Version 2.1: Counting in Base Ten" If I was in The House, I'd challenge Bonnie. Corey and Ant could luck into an audience sympathetic to their cause and style. Bonnie's going to have a little more trouble winning an audience for who she is as opposed to what she says. Come to think of it, there's a board game in here somewhere: pick the challenged and opposition.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

"RE: Last Comic Standing Love List Version 2.1: Counting in Base Ten" Depends on personalities too and who teams up with whom. Bonnie will latch on to the guys for sure. So she make squeak by a few weeks. The "outsider" will be challenged first. Maybe Todd if he annoys the heck out of everyone.

I hope they don't change the premise like the do on most successful shows. If it ain't broke don't fix it. I like the way everything was set up last year. Keep the immunity and keep the booth. Let's see how crooked NBC can actually get judging by how much they change the format.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Jay - Loving him cause I can repeat his jokes, then I too am funny! 2. Corey - I'm sure there's more to you than a basic ghetto-talking, female-degrading, street-cred comedian There's doesn't need to be! That's funny enough! 3. Alonzo - His white guy joke from the first show is still the best joke of the competition. Plus, he keeps coming up with new material. 4. Bonnie - I think she's funny and hot! 5. Gary - He's pretty good 6. Todd - Antics are funnier than his act! 7. Ant - I laughed the first time he performed! 8. John - I don't remember any of his jokes, so how good can he be? 9. Kathleen - Haven't laughed at a single joke so far! 10. Tammy - Ditto "Evil" Dr. Will: Reality Show Legend!   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Sportsbabe 11 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Got Milk? Spokesperson" 06-18-04, 05:20 PM (EST) 6. "Subjective Rankings" Good job. Since comedy is in the MIND of the beholder, I really don't have a preference at this point. Once they get down to the top 5 or so then I'll choose sides. I just hope somebody makes it interesting in the house. I'm sure Ant will get bitchy with somebody. A good mix of estrogen & testosterone is always good for a couple of tense situations.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Alonzo - the best both nights 2. Jay - along with Alonzo, in my Tier 1 --------- 3. John - I guess 4. Gary - wasn't impressed the first time aorund, but he was one of the best in his round 2 group 5.

Todd - a little smug, and not hilariously funy yet, but has the potential to carry the show ----------- 9. Bonnie - blah 10. Corey - has he said anything funny? anything?   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top
