Agreed. I've seen several comics who can do the type of humor Al does without utilizing stereotypes and race and such.Iamabrawler wrote:Well, sometimes laughter has to be made at the expense of other people. All those America`s Funniest Home Videos are funny to us, but has anyone had a thought for the one who just fell off the trampoline - or "down from the roof, right on the lawn, face first on a rake"?
Clean jokes that don`t mock anyone are actually pretty rare. There are blonde jokes, which I find to be a great insult. The stepmother jokes are also kind of an insult because of the stereotype. But overall, we have always find some scapegoat to laugh at.
Funny to think Al rarely does that kind of thing. So the next Al might need to be someone who doesn`t mock a certain kind of people. I guess it has to be someone who can make quick jokes (considering lyric lengths) and also gifted in most types of humor, even some dark humor if needed.
Nucka's far from "the next Al', but seems to have a following. Gilbert Gottfried does a lot of race jokes and nobody says anything about that.
I have an epic name. But this argument between Al fans and Nucka fans is like World War III. And I'm a fan of both...
Jon, I'm here to defend both. I don't know why either (About the Nuckas). The reason he doesn't want to co-exist is unknown to me...
