Perhaps a little more respect and a little less intolerance might be in order

[Mortimer]

Well i'm not one to worry about what others think.

Maybe you should.



100 percent serious here, when I say that I do not find mort funny.

I recommend a 70% saline solution drip.



verrrry boring if you ask me.

May I suggest the electric chair would not do much for you either?




for as many posts and thoughts he has thrown up, all of them with the intent of being funny or clever?

Or you'll get there.

Stop watching so much Hannerty and what'shisname.


No I find many others on here much more funny and concise.

Link please.


the espn thing was funny, many people were funny at that time, not only oracle. he was funny in the way you mentioned, not intentionally funny. But, for me it was offset by other stuff that made me cringe. not a pleasant person and don't miss him. when you're on the receiving end of some of his unintentional humor its not as funny.

I didn't like BrainDispencer either.

I don't get it. Ignored the fool awhile back. Guess some may say I'm a lame-o person who hates humor, but I am pretty sure I know what anything close to funny is -- and there is very little of it coming from this one.

I guess having one foot in the grave helps in understanding his shtick.

(clear throat uncomfortably) umm...

i do think that was funny. "maybe you should". i don't want to be wiping mort's spunk from my chin but i admit that makes me laugh.

can you hand me a hanky?

you're in the front row now. someone else will be there later. nothing personal. i don't think it is from mort either. it's okay if you disagree with me.

i'd just suggest a seat in the shadow's.

I can't explain the Mort phenomenon other than to say his personna reminds me a lot of Gilbert Gottfried... Glbert is of course an acquired taste, and his act can wear thin. Despite the majority of his and Mort's stylings hitting the ear like nails on a chalkboard, a certain percentage is highly amusing.

And like Gilbert on Howard's Show, he will eventually get the hook, only to return at a later date when you are hungry for him again.. like Chinese food. There it is exactly... Mu Shu Mort.

That is my choice.

When did you start seeing fools?

Was SnarlJim the first?

Describe what some may say of you....do you have a sense of humor?

You have not offered one shred of evidence Fred.




-- and there is very little of it coming from this one.

I merely kill it....and move on.

Steve....you are most kind and very well schooled,but I really hate GG.

I felt this a very poor analogy.




I feel I am more the great artist only the deepst thinkers can appreciate.

A Rockwell reference would have been so much better.

Damn...If I didn't have one foot in the grave I would be able to stay up late for these exchanges...oh well...Now where did I put that Geritol...

For myself, I find Gilbert side-splittingly hysterical... But fair enough.. "Saturday Evening Mort" it is!

Though really, being from the Plum City, your most obvious kindred artistic spirit is Harvey Pekar...

Oh come on Steve!!






For the love of mike already.

I'll accept the Mozart of Derby Trail.....and nothing less.



I would be interested in hearing your top 55 for the derby.

I really don't have a clue what you're talking about. I think you've been infected by morty! the front row vs. the shadows?

I wish you would stop giving out great advise.




What does the blacksmith do without the anvil?

Please.

Shut up Bogs.


And I should have said Arabsmith so as not to set Dispencer off .

Oh Steve, I agree that Gilbert is a scream, and an acquired taste.

But I don't get the comparison to Morty. Once in awhile a few of his lines border on clever.

but the endless parade of obscure cryptic references....boring.

The mangling of names, snarljim? ha ha ha! a quarter rattle at best.

Then the uncalled for ugly side where he insults people, whats funny about that?

His comedy reminds me of the quote by Getrude Stein "there is no there there".
