Joan's career has been going really well lately. Her routine on, as well as the rest of the stuff on her Comedy Central roast was great. You may not like her, but arguing funny is a lot like arguing whether blue is better than red or ketchup better than mustard.
Best Holocaust joke ever told? 3:27 http://vimeo.com/14311486
At this point, Joan Rivers doesn't have to be funny, any more than Marlene Dietrich had to be beautiful at a certain age, or Frank Sinatra had to be able to sing. She's not quite at that level, but the idea is the same.
When Rivers' husband off'd himself, he left her tens of millions of dollars in debt. She vowed to pay it off by whatever means necessary and did. That's her most admirable accomplishment in my (very Scottish) opinion. She can do whatever she likes after that.
If Joan Rivers isn't going to sell tickets, it'll be because she hasn't done anything remotely funny in nearly 30 years.
ReplyDeleteCunty is fine, so long as it has a clever punchline. Joan is generally just cunty for the sake of it.
Comedians, like rock stars, are usually best off hanging it up early. And no, that isn't a Robin Williams joke, although it'd be a pretty good one.
