I watched 3 Sebastian Maniscalco specials last week. I'd only heard the guy on podcasts being interviewed before. I wrote him off previously as being in the Joey Diaz/Theo Von/dregs of Rogan camp.

Fuck me - I was wrong. He is fucking electric. A descendant of George Carlin's observational style - if Carlin jammed his fingers in a plug socket.

Revisiting Limmy in every format a lot the last few weeks.

Proper legend...  "the plasterer" sketch is a universal joke.

It's brilliant. He's seemed to have put his stamp on every medium thats come and gone. Older I get the more some of the sketches hit different though.

Tried a couple of sketches there today. Didn't hit, a bit too "My mother is from Jersey and my father's Italian, so when I see a pastrami I dunno whether to eat it or shove it up my ass!" for me 

A couple of those Francis Stewart one-liners above there were proper humdingers!

I watched some of Limmy's stuff, it did nothing for me.

Haha! Yeah, I get you - that's exactly how I felt watching little clips of his and thus put him in the Joey Diaz bracket. It wasn't until I watched the first hour special where he goes long that it all comes together for me.

Speaking of Joey Diaz... earlier this week, I happened across a genuinely mortifying video of him doing a cover "Killing In The Name" at the Goddamn Comedy Jam. I heard it mentioned on the RATM episode of "The 500" podcast hosted by Josh Adam Myers who also came up with The Goddamn Comedy Jam.

It's like an uncle asking if he can do a song with your band cos he was "a rocker, like yerselves, back in the 80s."

Hahaha. Ah man, that's gas. Lets go, cocksuckers, and the perfect suck my dick at the end. He is who he is. I wasn't expecting anything more than that.

When I first watched his show it was like that for me. But once I got to episode 4 it clicked.

More cringeworthy than comedy. It's terrible to think how much of a weirdo the guy has become. He was in some good films from my youth.

Watched Bert Kreisher "The Machine"

I like Bert Kreischer.

Bert Kreischer the podcast panellist.

Bert Kreischer the Hot Ones guest.

Bert Kreischer the man is someone who I would probably enjoy a beer or 5 with.

But Bert Kreischer the stand-up comedian... not so much.

The Machine is the story of his that, as far as I know, made him famous. I can't understand why. It's not even remotely funny.
