Andrew Dice Clay -- Least funny comedian ever!

[Radu]

I am a bartender at the Route 66 Casino outside Albuquerque. We have concerts there about every month or so, and sometimes the shows are pretty damn cool. I got paid to listen to Queensryche, for example. Sometimes, the opposite is true.

Tonight Andrew Dice Clay came in. I was moderately familiar with some of his standup before, and I knew he was more or less an insult comic. What I didn't know was that almost his entire routine is a thinly veiled attempt to make his own insecurities and immaturity seem funny. It failed.

I don't think I laughed once. Perhaps I'm not his target audience. I sincerely hope so, because his target audience is full of a bunch of homophobic, misogynistic, anti-intellectual douchebags. (OK, not entirely true. The people I served were not douchebags for the most part. But Andrew Dice Clay IS.)

I have never seen a less funny comedian. I was actually insulted several times- not directly, but more disgusted that people find that shit funny. Call me crazy but a joke based on hating to learn new things and refusing to accept technological, medical, and social advances is not funny to me. It's sad.

I agree with that. A lot of that. But don't make the mistake of thinking "The Diceman" is actually Andrew Dice Clay. It's a character he invented. Believe it or not, Clay used to be an impressionist, and that was one of characters in the routine. It became so popular it started dominating the shows. So Dice cashed in on it.

The reason the Diceman is funny is because he's so politically incorrect. He's mocking the people who agree with his positions while poking fun at the subjects of his jokes at the same time. He's also all about insulting anybody and everybody in the audience. For example, Elliot Gould was in the audience on the night that one of his HBO specials had aired. They got flattering comments from Elliot on camera before the show started, and then during the show Dice went on to make a Stressant/Gould joke which was absolutely an insult to the man's genitals.

I think he can be funny on occasion, but you cannot take his humor seriously.

I used to think he was hilarious. Then I turned 15 years old.
