…damn, Doug. You’re kind of a piece of shit.
I don’t mind calling that one without even clicking the link: Disgusting.
(What’s a Doug Stanhope?)
Why do I have the feeling Doug Stanhope is supposedly one of those liberal leaders we Democrats (demoncrats? dhimmicrats? dumbocrats?) love so much?
Never heard of him.
I also won’t click the link.
He’s a comedian. The most I know about him is his short-lived hosting of The Man Show with Joe Rogan after Adam Corolla and Jimmy Kimmel left.
I don’t know much about his act, but it could very well be that he regularly pushes the envelope. Whether it’s appropriate here is up for debate.
Shit, that was hilarious.
Oh please. It’s comedy. He’s trying to be shocking. Apparently he succeeded, and got you to promote him by posting his link. Good for him. He definitely likes to say really disgusting things about babies because it gets a rise out of people. The Palin situation was perfect for him.
Oh, so he’s just being a piece of shit for personal gain. I get it.
I’m not sure how that makes him any less of a piece of shit.
That was terrible.
But I laughed when he was all “Hey Kool-Aid!”
He’s a COMEDIAN. He says shocking things to an audience that pays to hear it. No one forced you to watch it, OR link to it so more people can see it. If you find it objectionable, that’s fine. Now you know to avoid Doug Stanhope’s work in the future, because trust me, it’s all like that. Making fun of famous people, even in disgusting ways, is a time honored tradition and comedy staple. Maybe there’s something going on in the world that’s actually real that is better deserving of your outrage.
I’m willing to go there (shock value) if the humor pays off. He just isn’t that funny, and if that humor is ‘laugh inside because it’s true,’ ok. Give me something intelligent, thought-provoking, etc. He’s just annoying and tacky IMO.
Thanks for posting this. I laughed at “hey koolaid.”
Not about to click the link. I don’t like shock comedy–it’s boring (Sarah Silverman, I’m looking mostly at you). Never heard of ole Dan and I can die satisfied even if I never see his stuff.
If you like that sort of thing, then good for you. Free country and all that.
I thought this was an outrage thread by a GOP supporter about some Democratic pol or campaigner. Thank God it’s not.
Stanhope is one of those comedians that people either love or hate. I’ve loved him ever since he did a bit about being so constipated he had to “start himself with a butterknife like a bottle of ketchup.”
That’s some snappy dresser.
I actually just spent the last couple of hours wetting myself over Sarah Silverman doing pretty much the same thing (only with a sense of humour), so maybe I just have higher standards at the moment (or brain damage), but this guy’s pretty bad.
It’s worth it to watch for his advice to Democratic supporters to “hammer the big cunt retard baby issues throughout the rest of this campaign”. And I love the Youtube ‘tags’: Doug Stanhope Palin Sarah Cunt Baby
Never heard of him. I guess I’m not missing much.
I haven’t seen this clip yet, but I have seen his act, and the best way to describe his comedy is I-hate-the-world-and-want-to-die. Seriously, his set was pretty funny, but it was so depressing that all I wanted was to slit my fucking wrists when it was over.
That’s like saying that Lewis Black is too political or Chris Rock spends too much of his time talking about racial stuff.
ETA I like Doug, I have him on my TuneSelect on XM.
I believe that Doug is a libertarian, and had a goof about running for president last election season.
He’s shocking, but he says exactly what’s on his mind, no filters. And he’s usually hilarious.
Aw, such a delicate flower of an OP! Did you actually have the vapors and cry for your smelling salts while writing the post, or did you wait till after you hit the “submit post” button?
Actually, the funny part is how you decry the comedian’s vulgar references to Mrs. Palin, and were kind enough to label the link NSFW, and then proceeded to put the offensive language in the title of your thread. Nicely done!
I think he’s funny. I love his line, “Her baby has Down Syndrome. How can she expect America to get behind her when even god hates her.”
