Colin Quinn can barely deliver a punch line. Not funny nor particularly fun.

Maybe you're judging him on Saturday Night Live?

I thought he was terrible there. I never liked him then but as a stand up he is hilarious


I saw him live last year in that one man show he did about the history of the world. IIRC it originally bombed and he needed help from Seinfeld to change it around to make it funny.

I love live stand up. I think stand up is much better in person than watching some special on TV. Still, I was only mildly amused by Quinn.

I prefer Jay Mohr's impression over the real thing.

All I know is I must be doing twitter wrong because I had to dump SHARK, Chuck D and Joyce Carol Oates all in the last couple of weeks. It's not the volume, per se, if it's reasonably spaced. It's just the avalanche of same-y information and observations that I tire of scrolling through.

By the by, don't bother with #bears #packers game. It's another boring game. Seasons over. Ocean's Eleven is on TNT. That's a great remake.

It's just going to happen. In fact, you might want to print this tweet out and put it on the fridge. So you can realize, I'm not "BS ing".

If you think I've been a little "under the radar" you're correct. But I vow to you fans to change that this year. My New Years gift to you.

Thinking about what the new year has in store for you people. ( in terms of my career). It's going to be a pretty major year. Enjoy it.

I unfollowed SHARK last year, after he tweeted something to the effect of "If anybody thinks the Knicks are going to beat the Heat, they are crazy", for the 8th time in one day.

I doubt anybody really thought they could beat the Heat, despite their fast start to the season.

Tracy Morgan was another unfollow. He would tell the same joke multiple times every day. It got old. Less is more on twitter.

If I had been told I'd live a thousand years, never would I have guessed that someone somewhere at some point would even obliquely compare SHARK with Chuck D.

A comedian's comedian?

All comedian's jerk each other off. The podcast medium has devolved into hack comedians appearing on each other's podcasts to pimp their shows and laugh at each other's bad jokes. A guy like Quinn will get an additional finger up his ass because he has been around since the 80s. Longevity is not an indication of quality.


Also, by far, the worst-ever SNL Weekend Update anchor.

they secretly hate each other and are jealous of their success if it impedes their own. there is no higher narcissist than the stand up comedian.

Agreed, and they act like they LOVE each other.

and typically the more they act like that the more they hate them. there are some exceptions if they think they can turn their hate into a shtick. see: joe rogan, kathy griffin.
