[QUOTE="Bradskii, post: 76337011, member: 412388"] Just watched some of their work on Youtube. I'd pay good money not to have to watch watch them again. Outrageously unfunny. Incredibly lazy routines. Which come across as nothing more or less than what they might say at a barbie with some guys when they don't have to be politically correct. And I'd compare them with guys like Ricky Gervais and Jimmy Carr. Some of their standup is seriously offensive. But with Gervais and Carr, there is obviously a lot of work gone into what they do and it's almost an understanding between them and the audience that 'hey, I'm going to see how how far I can go and [I]still[/I] get you to laugh'. There's no mean spiritedness. They challenge political correctness. They don't reject it like May and Schultz. But then again, I wouldn't demand that May not be allowed to do his stand up at any venue. Reminds me of a comedy club a few of us went to a few years back in Sydney. The MC was a well know Aussie comic. Also known for pushing the boundaries. And he was doing his best but dying. And made the cardinal sin of bad mouthing his audience. 'Don't you like being offended?' Or words to that effect. And as I was sitting nearest the stage it was directed at me. 'I'm going to complain to the management. They said there'd be comedians'. Think you can do better? Well, I'd had a few beers so I took the mike off him and cracked a couple of jokes. Then he made a derogatory comment about one of the women in our group and her son asked him to discuss it outside. It kinda went downhill after that. Security was actually needed. Hell of a great night. [/QUOTE]
