David Cross?

Did he ever appear on O&A or O&J?
Mr. Show was funny, and his standup is pretty good.
Seeing as he's not part of Jimmy's group of comedian friends, I wouldn't be surprised if they've avoided booking the guy.

While addressing some beef he had with Artie, he pretty arbitrarily took a shot at "Opie and Anthony types," saying they aren't funny. So I'd guess he hasn't been on. On a related note, Bob was on a month or so ago and gave a pretty lame interview.

Unfortunately he does venture into Jamie Kilstein SJW territory occasionally. I don't get the need to publicly slag other standups for failures of political correctness, it isn't like you'll get a pass if you cross the arbitrary line of acceptability. See: Patton Oswalt.

Patton is a crazy anamoly. The guy can recite the Nigga vs. Nazi dialog word for word on radio, then 2 hours later play to a liberal college crowd and get a standing ovation. Then he'll take the liberal side on Twitter through sarcasm and the left will crucify him. It's incredible.

is he even funny? i've never found him funny in any movie i've seen him in so i've never tried to look any further into his career. did not know he was a standup.

I watched one of his specials and never went near him after that. It made me nauseous. Most of it wasn't even comedy. Just talking bitterly about the political right. One long segment was about a redneck who took one look at him when he was younger and called him a faggot. Literally the whole punchline was "can you believe there are people like that out there!?? I mean GOD"

His standup is pretty great. Not a lot of it out there, but what there is is worth checking out. Also, Arrested Development was hilarious, and he was hilarious on it.

Don't forget he was RC in GTA: San Andreas.

I think I was behind the times console-wise when that one came out. I assume he was hilarious?

He was some guy that owned a remote control hobbyist store. I don't know if he was that funny.

His show, "The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret" isn't funny either.

I love that show. It's not a comedy, per se, it's a cringe comedy. It's about being uncomfortable with how badly the character deals with everything, like basically anything Gervais does.
Cross is a good comedy writer, and actor. I like the guy. Mr. Show is his best stuff, so far. His character on Arrested Development was really funny. Stand up, don't know, never seen him. He was a writer for Tenacious D when they were on Mr. Show. He's had small parts that he did well, like in Men In Black 2. He kind of does a little of everything, write, direct, act - he's done a lot of animated stuff with voice work, like Kung Fu Panda.
He's a little too hipster/edgy/ironic for Sloths, tho. Ant could have had fun trading quips with him, but would have hated his politics. Opie wouldn't have a clue what to do with him. Jimmy could appreciate his work, probably.
He was on the Nerdist podcast in February, if you want an idea of who he is, he's a nice enough guy.

yuck
So, what does David Cross' cum taste like?
3 [deleted] 2015-03-11
Really? You're going to be a cunt and go personal just because you don't like him?
Who are you, Opie?
-6 chimpchimperson 2015-03-11
I don't think David Cross is funny. That's just my opinion. Why does that offend you so much? Why are you getting so upset and being so defensive that someone doesn't like David Cross? Relax. It's okay for people to have different opinions.
3 rottenseed 2015-03-11
You're an idiot. You just stated your opinion, /u/PrinceCharmin then gave you his, then you bagged on him for having a different opinion, and when he responded you pretty much said "hey we're all entitled to our own opinions, relax."
-3 chimpchimperson 2015-03-11
I don't have a problem with Prince having a different opinion and I never said I did. I'm saying that I don't think David Cross is funny I and don't agree with Prince's opinion because it seems like he's on Cross' nuts. That's not contradictory at all. Fuck off.

Hey, bozo, you're the one that accused me of eating his semen, you can't just pull an Opie and act like you were innocent. You fired the first shot, pal. Now bend over and take a peckah like a man.
-2 chimpchimperson 2015-03-11
Oh, you really got me! You sure taught me a lesson!
There's nothing wrong with eating Cross' semen, don't be ashamed of your homosexuality. It's okay to be gay.

You're...not good at this.

David Cross - Answer Your Telephone!
People in here are down voting anyone saying that, yes, he is funny. I agree he is funny. However, he is very opinionated and doesn't care who he pisses off. I honestly think that he doesn't understand that Opie and Anthony were always trying to not be the radio types that Cross has ripped on before. But what does he care? He doesn't need them. He was always more of an indie comic.
The problem is that most, probably all (there aren't that many), of his older specials are politically charged. He grew up as an atheist Jew in the south. So he really hates conservatism and religion. Since Bush is no longer president, he can't rip on family values Republicans as much. He has also gotten older and slowed down.
He was probably never invited to the show and never wanted to be on. Most of his bits are more story length anyway so I don't think he would be that in good in their 'hang' environment.
Anyone know if he was ever on Joe Rogan?

Yeah, I remember listening to at least one O+A show in which David Cross was a guest. He was horrible.
