Jill's Son Has Terrible Taste in Comedians

Jill has a theory that the funniness of any given comedian is inversely proportional to how much The Boy laughs while watching it.  For instance, one of Nanda's favorite comedians is Jeff Dunham.  To further advance Jill's theory, I just heard him laughing uproariously at a Dane Cook special.

You can't teach good taste; you just have to hope it develops.

I have a friend like that. Her jokes which are meant to lighten the mood usually end up offending me more. Her sarcasm doesn't go far enough to actually be seen as sarcasm, and the worst part is she's an intelligent educated open-minded hardcore right-wing Republican, so whenever religion or politics come up it's like her brain melts and flows out of her ears, making her humor even harder to grasp sometimes. It's like talking to Steven Colbert except when religion and politics come up he's saying the same things only he's not satiric anymore.

Could be a teenager thing. Mine also loves the two aforementioned comedians. I can tolerate Dunham but Cook makes my skin crawl.

I have never heard Dane Cook say one single funny thing, ever. At least Dunham has a slight bit of talent, if you call playing with pupets talent, which I don't. Could be worse though, he could be a girl and you could have to listen to Hanna Montana and the Jonas Brothers all day long.

I would agree with MiamiShyner that it is a teenager thing. When he was younger his favorite comedian was Eddie Izzard. I don't know. I guess kids get less cool the older they get? Hopefully it will eventually come back.

He would have to live with my mother if that was the case.

When they are young, they are into what their parents are into: hence, Eddie Izzard. As they age, they start developing their own interests in things. Unfortunately, they haven't developed good taste yet, which generally waits until they're college-age. So, Nanda's going to be into shitty things all the way through high school unless he starts hanging around with that one kid in school who has good taste at 15.

I was never really into Bowie and Nanda loved him from an early age. I had hoped that he would be the one kid at 15 years old with good taste.
Kevin Wolf
He probably got into Bowie through Labyrinth, a kids' film. That doesn't count.
The King-O-Pop
Are you saying Labyrinth is not a great film, those be throw down words boy!! I was so in love with Jennifer Connely when I was a kid because of that film. I already thought Bowie was cool, but that is because I was just a very very cool kid.

I love Eddie Izzard, I got the chance to see him do his stand up this summer in P-town. Funny as fuck. My wife was thought he was too harsh on Christians and the whole Noha's Arch thing, but I found it to be some of his best stuff.
Kevin Wolf
How can you NOT be harsh on the Noah's Ark Myth? It's the most ridiculous story ever, which is still taken by people as gospel. Christianity is one thing, but taking the Ark Myth as literal fact is quite another thing altogether.
The King-O-Pop

She thought it was too easy of a target. You can use simple science learned in preschool and debunk the Noah's Ark Myth and to harp on it as his basis for not believing in the Bible and thinking Christians just are not that bright was just a little mean.

This was her view, I thought it was fucking funny as all Hell. "All right, we have two tigers, two antelope, two zebras, so what do we have in there now?" "We have two tigers."

I agree those are fighting words therefore I'm walking into the other room and I'm going to hit him. He won't know why, YET.
Kevin Wolf
Yes. I hit myself!
Jillzey
Hahahaha! I'm so talented that I made Kevin hit himself! Bow to me!!!!!

Just kidding. He was using my computer and didn't sign out and so I left a comment and it registered as him. But I prefer to think that he hit himself in self-punishment for being so lame.

Yes, I did hit him. Yes, he did ask why.
