Title: HOLY CRAP THAT'S A LOST OF COMICS

A celebration of (often profane, sometimes shocking, always unexpected) free speech - hopefully this actually gets theatrical release, I'd love to be surrounded by hundreds of others laughing against their best sensibilities... :)

 In the name of all that is unholy and profane... We must see these veteran comics crack wise and self-congratulate and such. ;)

Seriously, if there's an actual point to the film, i.e. a plot and/or theme, then maybe it'll be worth a viewing. But if it's almost a documentary then file that under Rogers...

 I dunno dude, it looks pretty weak. Most of these guys are way past their career peak, I think most modern audiences would only really know most of these faces from their post careers in movies and on L'Idiot box. As a nerd I would probably like this flick, but I can't see it being a wide or even popular release, video or otherwise.

And again if the ad was trying to make them look edgy it worked in reverse. It would have been shocking to see 20 years ago... maybe.

Quote from: "Shayne"...let me be the first to say, that Drew Carey is a waste of flesh and air.

Washington Post once described him as "a tubby dork in a crew cut and thick-rimmed glasses". He's a real-life Dilbert-next-door, who has certainly been riding on the coat tails of other more talented people around him... Who's Line is painful to watch but often it's because of how unfunny Drew is compared to the Rest O The Improv Gang.

But hey, even the SMBDCSWWS crowd (Simple Minded Beer Drinking Checkered Shirt Wearing Working Stiff) needs a celebrity example to hear about libertarianism don't they...  :unsure:
