Excellent point. The main difference was that Lenny Bruce was intellegent and funny while Kramer is an unfunny racist a-hole, the type of person Bruce was making fun of. His tirade was ridiculous and stupid and it shows how asinine and unfunny this idiot is. He obviously doesn't have the brains or the composure of a good comic as evidenced by how he completely lost control of his audience. If he was really good, he could have even dropped a few creative n-bombs, defused the situation, gotten a nice laugh from the crowd, and moved on. It wouldn't have made the news, and no one would even have heard about it. But instead he looked like an unfunny racist jackass. If I were there I would have asked for my money back - not because he's a racist d***head, but because he's not friggin funny!!!

Lenny Bruce was a perverted drug addict. If you're going to claim he's intelligent, at least spell it correctly.

To each his own. To my mind Lenny Bruce's material was sick, crude, and beyond pointless. It was pure dreck, like Alan Ginsburg's poetry.
