Goddamn, what an unfunny sack of shit. How he's held in such high regard I will never understand.

Yeah he's truly awful. One unfunny nite played over and over.

Apparently comedy heavyweights like Charlie Sheen, Ron Jeremy and Ted Nugent loved this bloated rebel and his edgy humor.

He's also the main inspiration to legendary comic Joe Rogan.

Charlie sheen showed his hiv pos, child porn viewing face?

not a fan.

As evidenced by Sam Kinison's work and that Dice clip someone posted the other day, you could make millions just getting on stage and queer bashing back then.

It was a better time.

THEY PUT IT IN THEIR BUTTS WHERE THE SHIT COMES FROM AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA / AAAAAAAAOOOOOOOWWWWW

He was more of a persona than anything else, it really covered up for his lack of material. He had some good stuff but probably became a legend due to being a larger than life character that decent comedians of today grew up watching.

"You ever burn money Maron?"

All he had to do to be a character was scream like a needy faggot. At least Dice put on a costume and came up with catchphrases.

Because he died young. He wasn't around long enough for people to realize that he's not as funny as people thought.

For the longest time, I had always assumed he OD'd. Nope! Forgot to put on his seatbelt is what killed him.

I bet Jay Leno has that seatbelt in his private car museum because he strikes me as a creepy collector that way.

He got hit by a drunk driver. He was a good boy, dindu nuffin cleaning up and going back to rehab. Seriously he did claim to be sober at the time and had coke in his system when he died.

and he's a big influence on Joe Rogan

It shows

Screaming punchlines does not make them funny

1  bonniesretardsister 2017-12-20

And Leslie Jones.

1  PsychopathyRed 2017-12-20

also all his work after Louder Than Hell and stuff like the Letterman appearance is absolute shit, like Netflix special bad.

1  iWhoreSchortSchorts 2017-12-20

Leader of the Banned had songs on it.

so grody

As others have pointed out in previous posts - time and place. Listen to lenny bruce. He's awful yet considered one of the greatest ever. The same shit will happen to all of your favorite comedians. Fast forward 20 yrs and you'll find people complaining about how awful and untalented they were

This. Lets see what people think about James Corden and Jim Jefferies in 2040...

Opie said he was his idol in the 80s.

1  DickPunchOpie 2017-12-20

Carl the cook or the joke thief?

1  The_Sharpie_Is_Black 2017-12-20

Shouting = Funny?

1  ryanindayton 2017-12-20

It was new.

1  dennyfalconeislord 2017-12-20

I don’t get it either. He doesn’t actually tell jokes

1  Uboat1940 2017-12-20

Yeah he did.

1  dennyfalconeislord 2017-12-20

NNOOOOOO. HEEEE DIIIIDDDDDDDNNNNNNTTTTTT

1  Uboat1940 2017-12-20

He had some great moments regardless of his flaws. His appearance as the angry Vietnam Vet professor in "Back to School" was hilarious.

1  DeafandMutePenguin 2017-12-20

That appearance as well as him on the Rodney Dangerfield special was funny.

But most of his comedy is dated if you listen to it. It was funny at the time but it fades with time.

I love a lot of what Eddie Murphy did but when I relisten to his stuff now some of it is not as funny as I remembered.

1  imicit 2017-12-20

god damn rodney dangerfield was funny though

2  Uboat1940 2017-12-20

He should be mentioned more than cranky Carlin.

1  TravisBickle1990 2017-12-20

Trench coat Kinison in was funny. After that, I agree with you.

He was great as Al's guardian angel on "Married with Children."

1  Yujiro_Hanma_ 2017-12-20

Shit on dice all you want, but his shit holds up today

1  Plateau9 2017-12-20

Go see his show in Vegas. It sucks - And no, 'Little Miss Muffet' does not 'hold up'.

1  Zazz_Lacker 2017-12-20

Did you know he was a Christian minister or something?? Did you know?? Did you know he was a priest? Ormugurd did you know he was a straight laced Christian before becoming a raunchy comedian??

Yeeeeuck. Who gives a shit. Loudmouthed idiot.

1  ryanindayton 2017-12-20

They were evangelicals. That’s where he learned to scream.

1  satanssockpuppet 2017-12-20

Kinison was OK until he adopted that stupid "rock star" persona, after that he was just a noisy sweaty screaming coke head who focused on being "edgy" rather than funny.

1  JamesJoyceDewitt 2017-12-20

The fight with him and Bobcat on Stern was pretty good.
