Whether you think Seinfeld was funny or not, it’s hard to deny he influences comedy.

Two Norm Macdonald SNL Fake News bits that are getting harder and harder to find on YouTube:

Magic Johnson just came out with a new book titled 'How Not to Get AIDS'. Chapter One "Don't Have Sex with Me"

(Photo of Michael Jackson in hospital with large picture of Shirley Temple on the wall behind him)
Don't let the photo fool you folks. Michael Jackson is a HOMOSEXUAL pedophile.

Cannot deny your point. But if those who think Andy Kaufman was funny, they like the Sein.

sorry, just not my type of humor. Agree with the Kinison-Hackett styles. They weren’t trying to be erudite, just knee slapping punch lines.

Arsenio was a suit and tie kind of guy.
Sinbad dressed like the illustration sometimes...

Pretty sure it’s Sinbad. I don’t think it is Cameron Diaz.

It’s gotta be Diaz. That hair style

Norm MacDonald

Many of MacDonald's standup, off the wall comedy bits are screamingly funny. And they're not politically correct or have some sort of liberal bent. At least not that I'm aware of.

I clcked on it and didn’t see a single advertisement. I scrolled to the end and then shut the page down. Everything worked smoothly.

I use Win XP, Firefox 16, AdBlockPlus, NoScript. I never do updates and haven’t had any difficulty with viruses or trojans.

Liberal? Au contraire.

The bit that got him kicked off SNL, was a riff on President Clinton. At the end of it, he said, “Bill Clinton. You know he’s a murderer, right?” Lights out. A West Coast VP fired him that night.

Kinison's bit is so funny in large part because it is so politically INcorrect. Today's mostly leftist comedians are supposed to commiserate with the "poor and oppressed" of the world and make fun of nasty, white conservatives.

Here Kinison is making fun of probably the poorest people in the world calling them idiots. I would love to have seen the reaction of the faces of many of the liberal members of his audience.

Kinison's bit was also funny because so many non-pc types were probably thinking the same thing. He had the guts to say it in front of an audience.

You are right. The hair sticking up, it would be Cameron Diaz in “What About Mary.” They covered everyone.

That’s what I was saying...I haven’t heard him say anything that would indicate he was a liberal.
