I don’t find Ralphie all that funny either. Could you think of something more unoriginal for a comedy set than talking about how you hate political correctness? Ditto on Tess. Her “pitch” for the focus group about the sitcom involving a black woman marrying a white guy…uh, they did that last lear already in a movie. Queen Latifah, Steve Martin. Come on, you’re in the entertainment business, keep up here.

      I thought Rob's delivery and style was much more enjoyable than Ralphie's. The whole colon/semicolon thing was pretty good. Listening to Ralphie yell and talk fast gets old quick.

Wow, I’ve seen Rob Cantrell several times at the Punchline SF. He does a good bit about Pabst Blue Ribbon. (“What in the hell did it win the Blue Ribbon for?!”)

I had no idea he was on this show. Hopefully this will boost him.
