Weak End Edition: An Ode to the Stand Up Comedian


Rodney Dangerfield, in his autobigraphy made a great point about how Stand up Comedy gets no respect. He asks the reader how many comedic movies get nominated for awards. He also makes a good point that when they host the Academy Awards, they frequently hire a comedian to host the event. In other words, the comedian is summoned to entertain but isn't given the respect that is deserved. I think that the reason for this is the missconception that comedy "comes naturally" and is therefore easy to do. I think of the movie "The King of Comedy". There is a scene where a young Robert De Niro (playing Rupert Pupkin) sneaks into the limo of Jerry Lewis who plays a successful comedian that Rupert admires. Robert Deniro's character is obsessed with being a comedian and begs Jerry Lewis's character to give him a shot because he's funny and just knows that he can do stand up. Jerry Lewis tells him the following:
"It looks so simple to the viewer at home…those things that come so easily that are so relaxed and it looks like it’s just a matter of taking a breath. It takes years and years of honing that and working it.’
That quote says it all. Stand up Comedy is an art and like any art, it takes time do develop and get good at it. I've dabbled in it and believe me when I tell you, it's not easy. Even top comedians that seem to be naturally funny have been working their craft for years so by the time you see them being "naturally funny", their craft is already perfected. I was watching a top comedian's Comedy Central special from several years ago. It was good but it wasn't spectacular. Then he did another special in 2010 that was excellent. His overemphasizing of certain words is now more exagerrated and is hillarious. BUT you could see in his earlier special that aspect was only staring to develop. I read that the great Mitch Hedgberg used to not get laughs when he first started! So it's humbling to know that the great comedians actually have to work at it. This is why I'm a big fan of good stand up. When done right, it is an art, it is a performance, it is a social commentary disguised as jokes. I don't think that the average person fully appreciates the hard work that comedians put into their craft. They are like Rupert Pupkin, confident that comedy isn't that hard to do. This is an ode to comedians everywhere that are busy working premises, punchlines, and trying to find how certain ideas can be combined just like a painter uses colors to paint a canvas, the comedian uses words. Check out this clip of the very funny and brilliant Mitch Hedberg.

The genius of Richard Pryor (ahead of his time)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-_cdbByTeNE

I hate myself for watching this show

My taste in entertainment has gone to crap. I watched Deal or No Deal a few times and before you knew it, I was emotionally involved in the decisions of the contestants. "Take the money," I yelled at my TV screen when given the opportunity to take a deal. If you haven't watched the show, here is a summary. There is no skill invloved. You don't even need to talk. All you need to be able to convey is Yes or No. There are models that hold briefcases. Each case has a dollar amount. The goal is to eliminate the low amounts so that only the high amounts remain. After several eliminations, the contestant is given an option to get a guaranteed amount if they accept the "deal". By accepting, they waive the right to win potentially more money. But the risk is that if you reject the deal, you may eliminate the $1,000,000 briefcase. The higher the remaining amounts remain, the more you are offered. It's amazing to see people reject $100,000 + when statistics tell you that you are not likely to win the million.
Here is what happened today. Some hick that lives with his sister is offered something like $250,000. His "friends" tell him. "No deal". His sister, (who probably wants him the F--- out of there) begs him with her hands crossed under her chin, "Take the deal", she pleads. "No deal!" the hick responds to an erruption of applause. The next briefcase he eliminates is the $1,000,000. "That's ok", one friend tells him. "There is still the $5000,000.". He eliminates a couple of more and now he is offered like $120,000. His sister pleads with him again, This time she looks more desperate, "take the deal!" she urges him. He plunges his fat hand forward and tells Howie Mandel, "No deal". At this point, the sister covers her face with her hands. There are only 4 suitcases left. One has $500,000 the other 3 have less than $500. That's right he rejected $120,000 when there was only a 25% chance of chosing the $500,000. He has to eliminate one more case. You guessed right. He eliminates the $500,000. Bottom line: He ended up winning $10. He put on a front like he was a rebel and waved to the crowd doing the "heavy metal horn salute". I can just imagine the ride home; his sister telling him, "what the F--- were you thinking. Imagine the friend that was telling him to reject $200,000 + and later $100,000 +. But it happens all the time, contestants get offered really good money and they reject it when logic,math, and common sense dictates that you should take the money and run. I'll prob. see the show again and I will scream at the guy telling him to take the money and at the end of the show, I don't know what's a sadder sight- the contestant losing a chance at riches or my empty life getting so involved in the decisions of strangers.

Ants won the battle. I won the war (sorry PETA)

For the past month, I have been at war with the ants. It turns out they like food. It also turns out that I leave my food out. The ants came with a vengeance and an insatiable appetite and they didn't just come by themsleves. NO they had to invite their friends, family, and co-workers. "Hey come over here, the guy leaves his food out. Free buffet," said the leader ant. I had to formulate a game plan. I tried 409 cleaning fluid. It killed some ants but the surviving ants just mocked me and walked away feeling cleaner than ever. I tried Windex, mainly because It was cheaper than an exterminator. I had the same result. Some died but others walked away having survived the battle. I needed help. I turned to the Chinese for the solution. I figured a billion people can't be wrong. I used the infamous Chinese "Miraculous Insecticide Chalk". It's also known as Chinese chalk. I used to see it around as a child and had heard how amazing the chalk works.So I had to go to Chinatown in Down Town Los Angeles. I didn't know that this chalk was banned here in the U.S.A because the shit is too powerful and the EPA is trying to protect us from its harmful effect (right). No, it turns out that some kids back in the day ate the chalk thinking it was candy and well you know, the lawyers got involved and instead of blaming the idiot parents, big brother said. This is bad. You can't use it. I went to several shops and I asked, "do you have the Chinese chalk?" The merchants were very cold to me. "No". At first I thought I may have a hygiene problem. Finally I was taken to a back section of a store where I was sold the Chinese Chalk. It wasn't until I left that I realized that the merchants may have thought I was a federal agent looking for sellers of the chalk.
The internet is filled with people swearing by how good it was. Still I was skeptical. I reach my apartment with a new sense of optimisim. I marked the common areas where the free loading ants march through. I marked sections of the trash can where they were. There were tons of ants and I noticed that as soon as they walked over the chalk, they acted drunk, fell, slipped and walked all crooked; kinda like you when you got that DUI. Then they slow down and they just accept their demise. Every single ant that brushed agains this chalk went down in agony. I stared at them with a wicked smile remembering their mocking ways and I watched as they withered away into the abyss. The ants fell. One by one. They fell like dominoes. They fell like contestants on Japanese shows. I hovered over them victorious. I did feel a little bit of sympathy watching some of the critters battle. But I did try to warn them that they were messing with the wrong species. Tonight, there are no ants only tiny corpses of ants that fell victim to my wrath and the Chinese Chalk. I win.

New York City police had to evacuate several blocks in lower Manhattan after finding a suspicious car parked with gas cans in the back. The suspicious part was that the driver was able to find a parking spot between 14th and 15th street.

At the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee’s (DCCC) fundraising dinner, President Obama said that"Republicans are like bad drivers, who once drove the car into a ditch and now want the keys back."He should have added that before hitting the ditch,they had a driver that rode on the wrong side of the track for 8 years.

The official Funniest True Story EVER!

This is one of those stories that has to be re-told over and over and it never gets old. In fact, I was asked to repeat this story to a small crowd on a recent trip to a wave of laughter. This is how it was told to me. Here we go. There is a middle-aged woman who has a "retarded" kid. (PC people insert the more favorable term here if you like.) The kid is 19 and is over 6 feet and is described as pretty bulky. He has the mind of a child and can function on his own but still needs supervision. One day, the mother is at work and gets a frantic call from her son. "Mom you have to come over, there is a troll in the bathroom!". The mom tries to reassure her son that there is no "troll" and if there is, he will go away. About 10 minutes later, she received a more panicked call. "Mom you have to come over now there is a troll in the bathroom!!!". The mom has to explain to her boss that she has to leave because she has a kid with special needs that is flipping out. The mother leaves work and when she enters the house, she sees her son throwing candies under the bathroom door where the gap is. He keeps throwing candy under the table repeatedly. The mom opens the bathroom door and Holy Shit there is a midget sitting in the bathroom with a cell phone. It turns out the midget/little person was a census worker and when he approached the house, the kid thought he really was a troll and carried him and threw him in the bathroom. He wanted to "keep" the troll and was feeding the troll candy because we all know, trolls like candy. The tiny census worker admits that he wasn't harmed in the ordeal but still needed to fill out a police report to justify why he was late in returning back to work. I just imagine the story he had for co-workers. "Youre not going to believe what happened to me..."

Anaheim is ghetto (There are no angels in here)

(actual pic of my slip and fall. Yes it was Starbucks)

One of the first questions that people ask me when they find out I live in Anaheim is, "do you go to Disneyland?". The answer is No because to visit the happiest place on earth will make you the poorest person on earth. They charge close to $100 to see a mouse. If I want to see mice, I just need to move the fridge really fast (kidding). Anaheim is in Orange County and many of the locals call it Anacrime or Anaslime. Here is why. First of all, Beach boulevard is filled with hookers and motels. The liquor stores are filled with surveillance and shady characters that linger and loiter. Once a black hooker walked in the store with her John and she was yelling, "don't act like you'se all innocent. You ain't innocent". The John gave a perverted smile. He was missing teeth. I'm guessing meth. Next, you have people of all races and creeds of weirdos. Anaheim also has tons of Arabs and Mexicans. On Brookhurst, you can get the best kabobs and tacos. It's not uncommon to see girls in full on Burkas walking the street. I feel safe since wearing a beard makes me look like one of them.

When I first moved here, about 9 months ago, I was confident that this place couldn't be worse than L.A county. The first weeks of moving in, I would fall asleep to the sweet sound of helicopters overhead. That sound was merged with the sound of sirens. Ah! sweet urban music to my ears. I had a Salvadorean couple behind me that would yell when they talked and at first , it was a challenge getting sleep. Plus once in a while, the husband's machismo would get threatened and he would yell at his wife for "disrespecting" him. There are also many homeless people that love leaving the market carts outside the apartment. This only adds to the decor. We used to have drug dealing neighbors but they were replaced by a Mexican family of a thousand. True story: The new neighbor put some grease on the floor to remove stains. Once, as I was walking through the common walk way, I slipped on the downward slope, banged my elbow on the floor, hit my knee and slipped back dropping my coffee on the floor. It was kind of like the cartoon where the dude slips on a bannana peel. On another occasion, my girlfriend found a piece of shit. A literal piece of shit on the floor that looked human. (don't ask). On another occasion, this drunk Mexican dude covered his mouth, turned around quickly and puked by the parking lot. Then there is the crack head neighbor. He's a 30+ Mexican dude that hangs out at the parking lot drinking beers with his buddies while blasting music. I'd see him and he'd wave but that was all. Once, he approached me all sketchy and I said, "what's up?" "Hey can I borrow two dollars," he asked me. I said sure. 2nd occasion: He approached me and asked me for $5. I said sure. He paid me back both times. The third time he asked, he was hanging out by the entrance with a kid on a Friday night. He had those sketchy eyes. I dashed to my apartment so he wouldn't ask me for money. I'm in and I hear a knock on my door! It was crackhead man. This time he was asking for $10. I said no. He asked for $5 and I said I was broke. Three strikes you're out.

Well yesterday I see a U-haul truck blocking my parking spot and It's an older black lady that is moving in to the neighborhood with her son that is graduating from college. "How is it around here?" she asked. "Cool" I respond. " "I heard the landlord is kinda, I don't know how is he?". I said, "he's ok. he just has a bad memory? "What do you mean he has a bad memory!?" I changed the subject. Today I see the nice, black lady and she tells me she's getting the hell out. "I don't feel safe here," she tells me. She then goes on that a guy was begging her for money and was told that people hop the fence all the time. "I'm getting the hell out and I'm going to go to war with the landlord for the deposit." "Good luck" I tell her. " "Oh it ain't about luck" "It aint about luck" she reaffirms. That sucks. She would've been a good neighbor.

"Do you have a loving home for these puppies?"


I'm back from San Diego. The highlight of the trip was meeting this lady who was happy. She greeted everyone that entered the grocery store. "Do you have a loving home for these puppies?" she kept asking. The whole time she had a strange smile and look that said, "I've been through some crap." I didn't take her up on her offer. I bought water and a lottery ticket. I feigned interest in her puppies in order to take a picture of this strange lady. Her 15 minutes of fame begins now.

Brilliant Animation on Procrastination

To my 2-3 followers of this blog, I will take off this weekend and go to San Diego,CA. A friend of mine does photography and paints and there will be an art show at the coffee shop that she works at. She is a good friend that I have known since Jr. High (don't ask) and we have always kept in contact. I go to stay with her husband and her and they make me feel comfortable. I make them laugh and they feed and shelter me. I like going to SD because I do nothing. At home I do nothing as well but shit is more fast paced in L.A and Anacrime. When I'm in SD I chill and breathe clean air. I leave you with this clip.
