And Charlie sheen looks like a trainwreck of his former self, it's painful to watch.

I'm trying to wrap my head around the idea of a train wreck looking like a second train wreck.

You shoulda been at his roast Paul.

This is already a thread (cause I made it) but yeah I will bite either way.

I pretty much dislike all popular stand up comedians. It's not even that I have a weird sense of humour because I like some popular comedy movies but when it comes to comedians I am really picky. I think there's something about telling jokes on stage that's really derivative and the form doesn't do much to further creativity. I can count on one hand the stand-ups I enjoy and especially in the UK they aren't the ones that the majority would choose.

Friends is pretty funny but only worthwhile because it established some basic sitcom tropes that other (better) shows have played and experimented with. There's no reason why it should still be relevant and worshipped to that level.

**** David O'Russell. The guy should not be as critically acclaimed as he is because he's so boring and he's doing nothing new. I feel he's one of a handful of directors loved by both arthouse circles and the mainstream (especially the academy). His last two movies have been riding on the coat tails of their stars. In thirty years, I can't see his movies being remembered well.

I don't find Modern Family funny or interesting at all.

I'd take it a step farther and say that three or so accidental seconds of viewing that show on a couple/three occasions had me desperately diving toward the remote

Boo!

I love that show and have been there with them since the beginning. It gets laughs out of me every single time and I love all the characters especially Phil.
