I could imagine that Rush Limbaugh video being used to torture people when played on a loop. There's something about it that's incredibly disconcerting and unsettling (in addition to Rush's usual disconcerting/unsettling character).

I don't get it. They seem to be talking about cliched 80s topics like "the mall" and "cable tv" but how is that "sexism, racism, and homophobia?"

I think you need to watch more of these. There is some of that, and there is some of the other crap.

The Great Ray clip is particularly meaty there. I couldn't watch past a minute and a half or so, when he talks about his wife's shortcomings. Also: "Great Ray"? Really? Have you heard of him?

There's a new Everything Is Terrible post about every ten days lately.
I meant that as a complaint, but the more I think about it, the more I don't mind so much actually.

I watched for a minute or so thinking, "Gee this guy looks just like Ray Combs!" and then I realized it really was Ray Combs, and I felt bad.

I thought I liked the rapper, but then I just realized that I miss Kenneth the Page.

Either those right to laugh guys aren't very funny, or humor is holistic and I need to exorcise my socialist tendencies to giggle at them.
And why wasn't Kelsey Grammar doing it if he's so right wing? Or was he just introducing it to make fun of them, in a great, Poe's Law metacomedic gesture?
And why do they need their own network when they already have Fox?

Kelsey Grammer is busy doing right-wing things (e.g., schtupping the babysitter).

I used to have a Skittet and Leroy LP. This one. The cover alone scared my friends.

On the bright side, the fact that he eventually committed suicide just got a lot funnier!

Coincidentally, Ray Combs actually came from my hometown, Hamilton, OH. When I was growing up in the '80s/early '90s, it was a huge point of civic pride when he succeeded Richard Dawson as the host of Family Feud. I recall seeing him as a guest speaker at a few high school functions and remember that he seemed like a pretty affable, easygoing guy. His suicide came as a complete shock to pretty much everybody in town, and it seemed to eerily coincide with Hamilton's overall socio-economic decline through the late '90s and early 2000s.
That said, I think this might very well be the first time I've ever seen the man do actual standup.
After seeing the clip, I'm also thinking it might be just as well if I hadn't.
