\"Larry David is not funny.\"

  Plainly, his humor goes over your head.

Larry David is funny.  You need a certain IQ/level of intelligence to appreciate it, that\'s all.  HP

Listen, I didn\'t like the other show either. You guys are right, hopefully I\'ll evolve enough someday to see what the hell is funny about that stuff.

While you\'re at it, evolve your way out of liking \"I\'ll Do Anything.\" It was written as a musical. They showed it to test audiences. It was a massive flop. So they re-wrote it at the last second, killing the songs and throwing in more dialogue. The movie is a total mess--an awful effort from superb connections.

no chris rock fan here, however, the kids have me watching \"everybody hates chris\" which is basically his childhood years, it\'s absolutely terrific, sort of like the Wonder years\" but much funnier.

Pryor\'s early 1970s comedy album \"This N-----s Crazy\" is madly brilliant.

Dang! With friends like these, JB ...

Personally, I think Albert Brooks is best suited to small dosages. I think the short films he used to do for SNL were his best work.

And, Al, if you are going to mention Woody\'s personal failings, you should include Chaplin.
