Dennis Miller is Still NOT FUNNY

[Vinnie From Indy]

HE was on The Daily Show ranting and cutting on everything Democrat. I guess he now has a radio gig that he will drive into the ground as he has everything else he has tried.

[hyphenate]

1. Dennis Miller

is just a slimeball. He's even less funny than his female counterpart on the right, AC.

[Ninja Jordan]

2. He basically made fun of how Pelosi and Reid look.

Non-substantive and forced

[mzmolly]

22. I was left feeling sorry for "them" thinking "is that all they've got?"

Apparently it is given Miller is one of the "smart ones."

[The_Casual_Observer]

23. Perhaps the bastard doesn't own a mirror.

Otherwise he might be a little more humble.

[soothsayer]

3. agreed. Total unfunny pompous wingnut douchebag loser.

[koopie57]

4. He has some nerve

dissing Senator Byrd and making fun of Nancy Pelosi's looks. Senator Bryd has more accomplishments in his little finger that the ignorant/arrogant miller and he has some nerve making fun of other peoples' looks. Talk about scraping the barrel for an attempt at humor.

[xxqqqzme]

10. and I thought boner, being tobacco stained from the inside out,

would be a better humor target.

[BearSquirrel2]

25. HE obviously ...

Dennis Miller has obviously never looked closer at the human blinking machine GW Bush.

You have to hand it to Stewart though. He so 100% PUNKED Dennis Miller on national TV. I thought Stewart was giving him a pass on his hateful nasty screed and even laughing at it. I've NEVER seen him just let a guest go off like that.

THEN ... THEN, Stewart and Colbert completely tag team on his ass at the end of the show by mocking his "comedy".


On a serious note, I am a little concerned about peanut pork in the Iraq Emergency spending bill. I'm curious if this for real or just the usual Republican BS.

[Skip Intro]

5. wow, last time I saw him he was tryring to back away from attacking Dems

saying something like, "some people believe I'm a republican because I supported the war"

he was pathetic

now he's back to what he really does, eh?

and not funny as usual.

I wonder hot feels to be the man who's career highlight is the villian in the 1980's
"The Lost Boys?" He sucked at that, too.

*yawn* dennis - its kinda over, buddy. c'mon, you can sit on the bench overlooking the weeping willow, and sip some tea...c'mon.

[BlooInBloo]

6. Only time I recall him being funny was on the SNL News.

[Gabi Hayes]

12. to be fair, I saw him live once.....a long time ago, and thought he was very funny.

this was LONG before 911. he was a different person then, with good writers

that's when he stopped being funny: lost his decent writers the last few years of his HBO show. those were painful, shark jumping shows.

I taped a lot of them, but couldn't watch, mostly

[mac56]

13. As I recall, when he was on CNBC

they had to hire audience members to fill the seats.

(On edit: CNBC, not MSNBC.)

[Gabi Hayes]

21. yeah...I loved that show because of the chimp, AND because he was

Kauffmanesque in his horribleness

I LOVE watching comedians bomb

nothing better than seeing them being heckled, or being forced to endure indifference, as was mostly the case in his CNBC show.

they should have kept the chimp. the ratings probably would have skyrocketed.

[Vinnie From Indy]

14. It is ironic that Miller was scraping and bowing on The Daily Show

Miller thought he was the master of the "fake" news format. Here he was tonight getting a "courtesy" appearance from John Stewart who is the undisputed King of "fake" news. In fact, Miller thought he was so superior at this comedy format that while on SNL, it became his only skit. I would also venture to guess that Miller would have treated Stewart like crap years ago when he was on SNL and Stewart was still an unknown trying to build a career.

[nam78_two]

7. He is so pathetic

He does this everytime he is on TDS-he won't SHUT UP and therefore Jon doesn't get a word in edgeways...

God he is SO annoying.....
I lost IQ points listening to that...

[koopie57]

8. Do you think that

Jon Stewart thought he was funny or just being descent to a long time friend?

[mac56]

11. Probably the latter.

Jon treats his friends well.

[mac56]

9. My thoughts exactly.

The rapid-fire-obscure-cultural-references shtick wasn't even funny back in his SNL days.

Colbert and Stewart were teeing off on that in the bumper at the end of the show.

Way back when, I thought he had some funny moments. But now Dennis Miller is bitter and pathetic. Sad, really.

[Laurier]

15. I used to like him in his SNL days doing Weekend Update

but now, he's just a whore.

[Canuckistanian]

16. Will he have a monkey on his new radio show?

That might make it intellectually interesting.

[Ikonoklast]

17. Not for the monkey n/t

[BearSquirrel2]

28. That was funny ...

That was about 5 times funnier than anything Miller said all night. Miller wishes he could write that kind of comedy. He cannot, because he fails the fundamental test of comedy. He takes himself seriously which only remotely funny in a sad ironic way.

[Czolgosz]

18. Jon was way too nice

[youngdem]

19. On 9/11, the scared little child inside Dennis Miller won

And he fully embraced the fear tactics and Machiavellian dirty tricks of the Bush administration hook, line and sinker - further encouraged by his handsome pay package by his new corporate masters for his new gig as court jester.


The old Dennis Miller died that day. You can see it in his eyes and in his half-hearted, unfunny delivery. He doesn't believe it. He's just too committed and too scared to turn back.

My opinion anyway.

[mudesi]

20. He is a racist

After 9/11, he started to openly expose his racism. All of his opinions today stem from that very basic foundation of hate.

[ComerPerro]

24. I would pay some good money to watch Stephen Colbert tear Miller to pieces

[Gabi Hayes]

26. I'd pay even more money to see Miller try that exact shtick at an unmeth pace.

the money part would be to see him react to the audience's vilification.

one of the reasons he spoke so fast, drugs aside, was to mitigate against the audience's lack of response

so obvious

[BearSquirrel2]

27. They did ...

Didn't you see the end of the show. Stewart and Colbert completely ripped him a new asshole by mocking his "comedy". Colbert of course plays the straight man and gets called for simply throwing out a few recently researched obscure references and then basking in his "superior intelligence".

Daily Show audiences usually booo conservatives, I found their laughter suspicious as well as Stewarts "unontrollable" laughter. My diagnosis, Dennis Miller got punked!!!!

Besides that, Miller is a mean son of a bitch. It's not like Byrd was up in the Senate well giving some half hour diatribe on misogynation like the emeritus eldest Senator. The guy repeated himself a couple of times. He had the good sense to buy himself some time to construct a sentence rather then throwing out references on Popeye and Bubba Gump.

[Gabi Hayes]

29. miscegenation?

misogyny?

[ComerPerro]

30. that's good to hear, I'll have to check it out. But I would like to see him one on one with Colbert
