ljs Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 I think he is hilarious,even on issues I may not agree with. I try to catch him on O'Reilly, and tonight, in the middle of his tirade about the Ft Hood incident, they are discussing how to react to Muslims in the workplace and Dennis replies, "If you ask the guy next to you to borrow a stapler and he says, 'here great Satan', You gotta flag that to HR. I know its not the most egregious workplace crime, like saying to some woman your hair looks nice, or having a Washington Redskins Helmet phone on their desk is A LOT worse." http://www.foxnews.com/oreilly/ Its at about 3:20/8:05 in the video. It totally caught me off guard, but the way he threw it in there was pretty funny. I think at this point in the season if I don't laugh I just might cry. The last part he goes on about Barney Frank, and I thought I was going to fall off the couch laughing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Special K Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 That's hilarious....well, at least my husband got a laugh out of it: he loves terrorizing me about the team's performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G.A.C.O.L.B. Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 That particular description sounds like another MNF Failure : Tony Kornheiser. Kornheiser is good on PTI and on the radio. IMO, Miller fails across the board. He's just not funny to me at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USS Redskins Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 I caught that too... you just have to laugh at this point. Though, I hope Snyder catches this type of stuff and see's that the team is now a laughing stock and that he does what is necessary to change.

IHOPSkins Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 The guy is the king of cerebral humor.Good DescriptionI always thought that Dennis wasn't speaking to his audience....he was speaking to a body of intelligencia Call this title a defense mechanism, I claim that because during his talk show I got about half his jokes...the other half went over my head I think his Skins helmet thing was about PC in the workplace (REDskins) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lombardi's_kid_brother Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Ten years ago, I thought he was the funniest guy on the planet. Today, I think he is the biggest douchebag on the planet. He used to at least break up his bizarre hipster intellectual language with real sentences. Now, it's just relentless. Just say I was talking to this guy....you don't always need to use the word "cat" instead of "guy," Mr. Keroauc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corcaigh Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 The guy is the king of cerebral humor. Sure he's different to Larry the Cable Guy in his approach, but too much of his schtick isn't funny, so I'd give him the title of "the king of cerebral commentary".

DeanCollins Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 DM is an asshat, and I never liked his act, even as the news anchor on SNL. Adding politics to his schtict hasn't made it any better. Hey Dennis hows that MNF gig going for you? Maybe you and Rush can work the NFL Europe games.

ljs Posted November 11, 2009 Author Share Posted November 11, 2009 I think those who don't find him funny, just don't understand the big words he is using. half of what makes his rants funny, is just that- but at the same time its not funny if you don't know what it means.

ljs Posted November 11, 2009 Author Share Posted November 11, 2009 Miller was okay until 9/11 and he switched from quasi-libertarian to quasi-authoritarian. He still makes fun of everyone, regardless of what political group they are in. No one is immune, not even Bill. I think some people are just too uptight these days.

Truth. There are times when I'm laughing so hard at what he says and knowing that some people will not understand it. Reminds me a lot of the "Far Side" cartoons in that respect. A show with Miller and Stossel would be priceless - the exchange between these two would be awesome to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destino Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Dennis Miller is very similar to a history professor that absolutely believes himself to be hilarious in front of a class that disagrees. The guy isn't funny and when his comedy stopped paying the bills he went right wing to take advantage of the easy money other out of work entertainers have played to great personal gain.

ljs Posted November 11, 2009 Author Share Posted November 11, 2009 I lol at people who think Dennis MIller is right wing. You must not pay attention to what he says. He makes fun of EVERYONE! Bush, Cheney, Palin as well as Obama, Pelosi and Barney Frank. I guess they would think it was funny if he created fake news stories lauging and hoping someone famous he disagreed with would die. Because laughing about someone dying and/or making jokes about hoping they die is real humor:doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how many people caught the Ralph Reed comment. The "set the clocks back" tax was priceless too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
