Sam Kinison is awesome too! I remember his appearence on "Married with Children" for the Christmas special. "My wife gained 100 pounds for every year we were married. We had 2 kids......I think......she ate 'em.....I dont know."  

Too bad he is gone, he was a great comedian!
End Quote

One of my favorite christmas episodes of all time.

I liked the "Wild Thing" cover he did during the late '80's.
With the video that featured Jessica Hahn.
(I think it was from around 1988/1989.)

Quoting:
Yep.

Ford Fairlane, that movie killed Dice.

And his hair all falling out didn't help.

Now he works at the Stardust hotel in Vegas.  Which is a nice hotel but kinda run down looking.  It needs a makeover.

Ford Fairlane had Daniel Waters writing the script, Renny Harlan directing and an up and coming Dice in the lead.

And man, did it bomb!  Dice had to use lines from his act to punch up the movie script!


End Quote

I hate to say it, but when I first saw the movie I laughed my rear off. It was just too funny. Like the line where Dice wakes up with a beautiful woman, and she says "But Dice, I just wanted to be held", and Dice replies "You got the bonus package".

Quoting:
Hated Dice, but looooved Sam Kinison!  Saw him live in his own show and at the June 89 Bon Jovi concert at Giants Stadium in NJ.  He MC'd it, needless to say, it was a crazy 80's night!!!
End Quote

Kinison also appeared on the intro of Bon Jovi's video for "Bad Medicine".

Quoting:
Modified to add: What was that drink he had in "Ford", was it a flaming ___?
End Quote

It was a sambuca milkshake.

Quoting:There was another movie Dice did in the 80' swhich was not offensive and was kinda good. It was called "Brain Smashers, a Love Story". The details are fuzzy, but I think he had to protect some woman. Too bad he had to ruin his carreer the way he did. End Quote

I think it co starred Terri Hatcher. I like him when he doesn't play the lead role in a movie. Like someone mentioned before, he was funny in One Night At McCools.

Quoting:I was married twice. Then I said, 'Hey, you know, I bet if I become more sensitive, and a better f---, I won't have to give away everything I own every five f---ing years!End Quote

Sam Kinison's "OHHHHHH!" trumps Dice's "Oh!" every day of the week.

Quoting:
Andrew Dice Clay's Nursery Rhymes were hilarious.

Little Miss Muffett
Sat On her tuffett
eating her curds and whey
along came a spider
and sat down beside side and said.....hey?
WHAT'S IN THAT BOWL B*T*H!

I am truely not trying to cause trouble here, just gain understanding.
What makes this funny?  I have never understood what was so funny about him or his rhymes.
Any attempt to explain this to me would be much appreciated.

His humor was just adult-rated.Sort of like an "R" to an"NC-17".

Don't you get it?  He said "b****."



Kinison's gravestone says "In another age, he would have been called 'prophet.'"

Howard, not only is that not funny, it doesn't even make any sense.

The "rhyme" actually went like this:

Little Boy Blue ...
  ... he needed the money.  OH-uh!!

I get what he said, I don't get what's funny about it.  Shocking, perhapse, at least at the time.  But not funny.
It takes more than obscenities to be funny.

Yeah, I agree.  My post was largely sarcastic.

Many apologizes!  I'm normally a little better at recognizing and appreciating sarcasim, but it's hard to tell with someAndrew Dice Clay fans.    ;)

I'm sorry, but this is not only not funny and it still doesn't make any sense.  I just don't get his humor.

Man, what do you have to do,, draw pictures so that it makes sense...you should read it again until it makes sense, cause it is funny :o

Quoting:
I'm not asking you to prove his humor to me, just explaine why it works for you.

I'll explain it to you after I explain to you how to "Reply with quote":  after you click on "Rwq" and the prior poster's quote comes into your message box, leave the brackets alone and type your comment after the {/quote} in square brackets, OK?

It works because it plays with the convention of supposedly sweet and wholesome nursery rhymes and turns it on its ear.  It also acknowledges how oddly suggestive some of these rhymes and nursery stories are when you look at them in retrospect.

There is a long tradition of taking childhood stories and twisting them into something adult.  Perhaps you are familiar with the "Fractured Fairy Tales" parodies from Jay Ward's Rocky and Bullwinkle show?

Dirty nursery rhymes may not constitute the most sophisticated form of humor, but the routine was original and inventive in its day, just as George Carlin's "Seven Words You Can't Say On Television" was in its day.

Reply with quote, got it.  Thanks :D
Thank you for your reply.  I guess in the end that explains why I don't find him funny.  Swear words and obsenities to me aren't funny.  I won't go into that unless you want me to, becuase I really don't want to come off as insulting anyone here and my views on people who use a lot of swear words can do that.
As for Carlin's "Seven Words You Can't Say On Television", I always thought that was one of his least funny and rather uninspired bits.  An interesting political commentary, perhaps.  But not funny.
But again, thank you for your well thought out reply, it does give me a better understanding.  
But I still don't get it.
