Andrew, the rubes just aren't going to go in for this technical jargon. You need to appeal to the flyover states, the ticket grosses will triple if you add a bit of vulgarity. We really need all the funding we can get this quarter to send back to (((the Motherland))).
I don't know if I'm in the minority here but I never could stand dice. Maybe it's his accent, or the too cool for the room leather, or that every "joke" has similar sounding/constructed punchline.
Comedy isn't a lasting medium and can be very nostalgic. As someone born after the Kinison/Dice era, it seemed very hacky. I've since become interested in the story of the character vs performer that appears pretty Shakespearean in hindsight now and enjoy the old stories they tell of him and of course the goldmine of audio featuring Dice's demise on Stern. It's rare too see documentation of a star burning out so those years are very entertaining too me now. With age, you hate much less as the painting grows into a mural.

The first time my father saw Dice perform, he said “There goes a Jew with an identity crisis.”

The Day the Laughter Died is the biggest comedic masterpiece of our generation, civilian. Show some God damn respect, stupid.

The Dice character is basically the "cool" version of the professor in "The Nutty Professor." Pretty much an exact copy, but dirty.

He's funny for five minutes. Like Yakov Smirnoff.
