Am I the only one that didn't see why he was considered a comedic genius?

At least he was considered great even before he died. I hate when some guys dies and suddenly he's considered a legend.

 

[E-bortion]

eh, as far as i know hes been a legend since before i was born. ive always respected his bold, niggerish approach to comedy.

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

He was considered great over 30 years ago; totally groundbreaking comedian IMO.

bummer

have you ever seen his stand up? i mean pretty much every comedian over the past 30 years has ripped him off to some extent. at least any of the funny ones.

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

Not Brian Regan; he's the funniest evar.

he was one of the most innovative commedians ever. of course, he hadn't done shit ever since that crack pipe blew up and he was spotted running down the street on fire.
