Unfunny, No-Account Sad Clown Offering Bristol Palin $25,000 if She Has an Abortion

Funny, comics knew to lay off Chelsea Clinton and the Gore Girls. They knew that to attack them would result in blackballing from Comedy Central and Letterman and etc.

Saving Bristol

Never in history has a woman been under more pressure to keep an unwanted pregnancy than Bristol Palin. She is the teenage daughter of Alaska Governor & Vice-Presidential hopeful Sarah Palin - a conservative, Creationist Christian power-vampire and pro-life huckster who has put Bristol and her un-welcomed fetus at the center of a politico-religious crusade to stop her exercising her constitutional right to terminate the pregnancy.

Rather than sit back and impotently bemoan Bristol's tragic, lonely circumstance, it is time for us - the silent majority - to unite behind this poor, imprisoned woman and save her from both a tyrannical household as well as the horrible nightmare of a forced childbirth.

These are not empty words. I, Doug Stanhope, am offering you, Bristol Palin, the sum of 25,000 dollars so that you can abort your child and move out of that draconian home. I have also set up a PayPal link so that others around the world can help increase this amount to ease the burden of starting out on your own at such an early age.

I was once in a similar situation where I'd accidentally impregnated a girl and she had to make that same fateful decision that now faces you. It was easy for her - she didn't have a fascist, oligarch parent, the entire Republican Party or the sneering eyes of the Christian Right to contend with, much less a daft, puppet boyfriend who's just waiting for the cameras to stop rolling so he can bolt like a gazelle.

We made the right choice and rather than end up bitter rivals in court battles over custody or support, we are great friends who high-five over our decision and have all the free time and disposable income that young mothers never know. I now pay it forward and offer some of that money to you.

You don't need to ruin your future in order to support the megalomaniacal self-promotion of a mother whose every action is rooted in a demonic ego and archaic superstition. Don't become victim of the same pressure that had your brother "volunteering" for duty in Iraq.

Please consider my offer as time is of the essence. You don't want this child, the father certainly doesn't want this child and the world doesn't need another wailing mouth to feed.

Anyone want to bet this no-talent ass-clown actually gets more work than ever?

Ah... Douglas Stanhope introduces a very special guest, someone he says he's a big fan of: Truther Alex Jones.

It's good to know that I now have a reason to not know who the fuck Doug Stanhope is. And that I have a reason to have avoided the lame Comedy Central shows they air at three o'clock in the morning.

And all this time I thought I just didn't like him because he wasn't funny. And, well, because I never heard of him.

I actually think I did see him one time -- accidentally. I think he was at the Comedy Cellar when I went there to see Dan Naturman, Colin Quinn, Dave Atell, Jim Norton, Nick DiPaolo... you know, funny people you've actually heard of.

I believe he was either a "middle" -- a lame comic they stick in the middle because it's the openers that set the mood for the whole set and the closers that send people out with good memories; and, in longer sets, a weak comic they stick between two stronger ones to minimize the damage he can do by bringing down the room's energy -- or the fucking emcee, which is even lower than a middle. The emcee gets to tell a lot of good jokes, like "Give it up for Colin Quinn" and "Come on, come on, one more hand for Dan Naturman."

If I can't remember whether I actually saw him or not -- well, that just shows you the comedic firestorm that is Doug Stanhope.

How Unfunny Is He? Apparently he didn't even have the chops to host a Girls Gone Wild video-- today's equivalent of burlesque show comics, the lowest of the low.

Stanhope is the dipshit that ran The Man Show into the ground. He's also the dipshit who did one of those Girls Gone Wild videos and was so annoying that the guy who runs those videos, Joe Francis, used his next few infomercials to mock him and promise GGW fans that Stanhope wouldn't be returning.

How bad a comic do you have to be to actually distract from tits and college girls making out?

In that kind of video, you either have to be exceptionally good or dreadfully bad to even be noticed at all. Seems to me that Doug Stanhope got a lot of notice.

How fucking pathetic.

Abortion is that important to the left, almost a sacrament.  Truly, I did not know how important it is.

Posted by: Mikey NTH at September 17, 2008 03:10 PM (O9Cc8)

9 wtf?

I vaguely know who that guy is--wasn't he on the man show?  At first I thought the website was totally revolting, then I thought it was a really stupid attempt at satire and outrageousness for its own sake.

But the whole donations to an actual organization thing?  I guess it's at least semi-serious.  A publicity stunt to raise money for a real "charity" that helps disadvantaged girls have abortions.  Awesome.  I wonder if they're all girls that he knocked up?  Seriously, the image of him high-fiving his ex over how happy they are that she had that kick-ass abortion is...kind of disturbing.

I think John Edward might have to relinquish his title as Biggest Douche in the Universe.

Yes. Not that I watched that shit, I just read it on wiki. Plus he did some informecials for girls gone wild. Yeah, that guy.

11 In a just world, he would be charged with soliciting murder and be imprisoned.

Insofar as the law of the land in most states appears to be, "if the mom says her unborn baby is to live, then it's murder for another person to kill it"...

... should this not be a crime?

I dispute you on this one Ace, his career is over as far as doing major TV.  He had his chance and blew it with the Man Show by sucking and not being funny.  Since then he's faded into obscurity as far as 99% of the population knows.    He'll go on getting work as a standup and this will help him immensely in that arena.  I smell a college tour out of this (if it gets any play in the media, I haven't seen anything).  The hipster college crowd is going to love this, edgy!  He may even get some bit parts in crap third rate comedies but that's it.

Considering that his entire routine is about how many drugs he does and how fucked up he is I have a hard time taking this seriously.  The guy is psychologically deranged and I'll bet that one day he will take his own life.  It's just the "vibe" I get off watching him.

I told you fucking retards to lay off the stupid fucking Palin smears.

Do you clowns not see today's polls.  I, the one and only Teleprompter Jesus, am back in the lead.

That's right, I have finally climbed out of the hole you fucktards dug for me with "Trig is the brother from another grandmother" bullshit.  Now it's this shit, and hacking Palin's email account and posting adorable pictures of her family, while claiming you have unearthed the moral equivalent of the Nixon tapes? WTF?

Well

Thank you so much for nailing me back up on the cross, nitwits.

I remember. I remember how Stanhope and Rogan took a pretty funny, and decidedly un-PC show and ran it into the ground in less than two episodes. You could see that even the Juggies thought he was a douchebag. Painful to watch.

17 Oh, and Nick Dipaulo (not sure on spelling) is the big italian guy who was a regular on Tough Crowd.  Oh how I miss that show.  Colin Quinn would be having a field day with this election.  I wonder what he's up to?  I'd love to see him doing something similar again.  He's like the non-retarded funny Bill Maher but he's kinda conservative so he can't have his own show on HBO that no one watches.  Pity.  His would be funny.

34 Speaking of Colin Quinn, his show on Comedy Central, Tough Crowd, was pretty good. It was like a funnier, balanced, more informed version of Politically Incorrect.

In fact, I'd guess the main reason that it got axed by Comedy Central was because it was politically incorrect and almost always ridiculed the Leftist/Liberal position on issues.

Back in the earliest days of Clinton I ,there was that one comic  who did bumpers with stuff like "You're a sweet little biscuit, Chelsea Clinton ... Don't worry, tell your Mom I'll smoke outside ... etc" 

Of course, as I think about it, after that he kind of dropped off the radar screen, I think. Him and Vince Foster ...?

Joel was *not* better than Mike, just different.

Joel was a sweet, parental figure to the 'bots.

Mike was their peer.

Joel would "scold" them for a blue joke; Mike would chuckle.

I love Joel, too, but Mike? I thought he was funnier.

Word. Joel was, you know, funny. Did Joel write for the show, too? Because the robots weren't that funny when he left. Maybe the novelty wore off, I dunno. But they seemed to pick some lousy movies, too.

Posted by: Bart at September 17, 2008 03:46 PM (w3NmV)

42

The most obvious point.  This guy probably doesn't even have $25k.  Pathetic.

Oh and I'm sorry that Colin Quinn spurned your budding Bromance Ace but I still miss Tough Crowd.  I will say this though, from the show I kind of thought Jim Norton was funny and I thought he was good on Louis CK's show on HBO.  Then I saw his stand up on HBO, Monster Rain.  Yikes talk about uncomfortable.  It was like sitting in on someones therapy session when they had a breakthrough about being molested as a child or something.

44 I used to always get Jim Norton and Oswald Patton mixed up.
Now I easily recognize them as the funny one and the other one.
Oswald Patton is about as funny and as smart as Jeanine Garafolo.

45 Big  E,

I know, I saw that.  Or saw it through the "Monster Rain" part.  then I turned it off.

Not funny, just fucking disgusting.

Colin Quinn kind of started this "let me tell you about my childhood homosexual gay experiences" thing.  Actually,  I think Stern might of said something about that, too, but I was never sure if he was kidding.

I have to say I find this odd.  It never occurred to me to jack off a dude, no matter how young I was.

You mean this Margaret Cho?
"They shouldn't have the right to call themselves Christian, for they have no Christ-like attributes. I am a feminist and a Christian - and when I see Sarah Palin - I see neither. And it is official. She is evil."Are there any comedians left that are actually funny? When did funny's definition change to "offensive"? I didn't get that memo.

Posted by: BethW at September 17, 2008 03:58 PM (GuCve)

50 I like both Mike and Joel.  I still watch the old MST3k episodes (have 'em all, somehow...), and there isn't a clear and obvious difference in quality like some would say.  Mike was head writer even when Joel was the guy on the ship.  I still follow Mike's (and the bots') stuff with http://www.rifftrax.com/

Totally worth the $2 to $4.  Tip, for quality, it doesn't matter how good or bad the movie is---the movie just has to not be boring.  Sometimes you can lose interest even in the Rifftrax if the movie is boring.

Word.  My recollection (I very well could be wrong) was that they were blowing each other which is also something that didn't occure to me to ever do.  You've got to be careful with stand ups these days, I've noticed that there is this new strain of comics who include a lot of personal details about their life that aren't funny (Christopher Titus for one).  I'm not there to help these guys/gals get through  the emotional trauma of their youths I'm there to laugh.   

On the good side Norm McDonald is coming to my small, midwestern shithole town in a couple months and I've got my tickets in hand.

57 I have to say, Doug Stanhope gives a powerful argument in favor of abortion. I mean, if I were ever stupid and/or self-hating enough to be Stanhope's girlfriend, I wouldn't want to compound my poor life choices by birthing his bastard child, thereby perpetuating some of this lackwit's DNA for another generation. I'm sure she high-fives him with glee whenever she considers she almost gave birth to a child that would, in all likelihood, have been a cross between Carrot Top and Yahoo Serious. I'll give you a moment until the shudders have passed.

@17 I really miss Tough Crowd also. Colin is on Opie and Anthony frequently and Nick DiPaolo shows up sometimes. DiPaolo is pretty conservative. Doug Stanhope was on a few times and was not funny at all. He just talks about drugs and how he thinks To Catch a Predator was entrapment.

Mike does a commentary track for Roadhouse.  It's really funny, and one of the first ones.  Almost every other Rifftrax I have watched has had a Roadhouse reference.

Tough Crowd.  Oh how I miss that show

That show sucked.

I liked it, but it sucked. On like, a technical level. It was a terrible show.

And I liked it anyway... I like Collin Quinn. I can't tell you why, because, technically, he sucks. He is not good.

Yet somehow, I enjoy watching him suck the place up for some reason.

He can be funny, sometimes, when he's not, I don't know... eating in the middle of the show he's hosting or something.

Or spends 5 minutes setting up a joke and then mumbles and stutters the punchline incoherantly.

Yet for some inexplicable reason I still find him entertaining.

65 oh god, yeah, now I remember:  Norton seemed to be talking about he and his buddy blowing each other.

Right.  blocked that out.

and turned it off at that point. the problem was it just hadn't even been funny up through that point.  so there wasn't even an expectation that if I could just get through that patch it would be funny again.

that said, I've seen his stand-up live, and he's very funny.

but that special... ugggh.

In fact Ace, if you'll recall the title Monster Rain references the exact bit we've been discussing like he thought that was the funniest part of the show which, obviously, doesn't give one great confidence to keep watching.

70 Just when I think they can't sink any lower. Once again, "choice" means only "the right choice" - abortion.

we are great friends who high-five over our decision

What kind of sick fucks are these? An innocent life was taken and they cheer like a couple of pimply fourteen-year-olds. They don't even have the decency to recognize it as serious business.

Also, I'm a person with a sense of humor, and when I see Margaret Cho, I see a fat unfunny bitch. End of story.

True story:

Stanhope is (or at least was) a friend of a friend.  As a result, I got invited to one of his shows at a club in Hollywood.  Stanhope was so hammered that he was actually drooling onstage, and the bulk of his jokes that night centered around getting his wife (who was sitting at the next table) to have sex with me because I looked like I needed it.  After about 10 minutes of that riff, it didn't seem like he was joking anymore.

Kinda awkward for both of us.

To quote the Diceman: it was "like masturbating with a cheese grater - slightly amusing, but mostly painful."

They run his shit semi-regular on the adult comedy channel on XM radio. His anti-Christian bigotry that he tries to pass off as deep thought comedy is not only seriously unfunny, but also highly insulting to those of us who kinda believe a little here and there. If he treated Islam that way, he'd be looking around for his fucking head these days.

I've been listening to O&A since about '99. Never really found Jim Norton that funny. He occasionally has a funny Ramone call or joke here or there. Most of the time he just talks about trannies, hookers going on him, Monster Rain, and tells pedophile jokes. Cringeworthy yes, funny, not really. Plus he seems to have become more liberal lately, especially with some of his comments about guns.

O&A and several of the guest comedians are really funny though.

<< I still watch the old MST3k episodes (have 'em all, somehow...), and there isn't a clear and obvious difference in quality like some would say. >>


I, too, mysteriously managed to procure them all.  While I would agree with your assessment strictly regarding quality, I did note that the Joel era was topped with a helluva lot of snide leftist commentary.  The Mike era, on the other hand, was pretty apolitical--which makes sense given that he's relatively conservative.  I haven't checked up on him during this election cycle, though, and I don't particularly care to.

As a side note, I did not even know there was another guy before Mike on MST3K. When I first discovered it (back when it was still running in SciFi) it was Mike.

I thought he was pretty damn funny. That show was hillarious.

88 I got a couple of guilty laughs from Stanhope's "Sicko" album.  But if I'm gonna be able to continually overlook an asshole "comedian's" political views, he's going to have to balance it out with wit and insight, not mindless bombast.

Joel and the original cast of MST3K are back together and touring.  They also put out riffed movies on DVD or for download.  http://www.cinematictitanic.com/

I think they're good, but it doesn't seem to have the same irreverence that made MST3K so much fun.  It almost feels forced, but they still have their moments.

Posted by: wiserbud at September 17, 2008 06:22 PM (bx2tz)

97 Joel was *not* better than Mike, just different.

Amen, sister.  I have my collection on the computer, so I just hit "random play" and watch whichever one comes up. Right now, its #619, Red Zone Cuba (a Mike).

As far as this Doug Stanhope fucker goes, was he the guy who yelled, "Show me where babies feed!"?  I remember watching that and thinking, "What an asshole." Joe Rogan's pretty useless unless he's on Newsradio.

41. Bart,  I think you're onto something.  Mike in some ways was a victim of MST3K's success.  They had a harder and harder time getting decent movies to rip on as time went by (they either wouldn't give permission or tried charging more than they had a budget for.  Suits -- go figure).

I personally found it difficult to be objective because, well, I thought Mike was hotter.

I still remember him appearing shirtless (and in a bald cap) as the Amazing Colossal Man -- back in the Joel years, of course, when Mike's on-camera appearances were usually brief one-shots as some character or other.

I remember seeing that as a kid and being completely charmed by the two space-aliens who were trying to recover the stolen lasergun -- they were even cuter than E.T.! Although it was disconcerting at the end to realize that they were actually three stories tall. (I think that throughout most of the movie, you'd only seen them on their own spaceship, so there was no sense of scale.)

111 You mean this Margaret Cho?
"They shouldn't have the right to call themselves Christian, for they have no Christ-like attributes. I am a feminist and a Christian - and when I see Sarah Palin - I see neither. And it is official. She is evil."


Cho was actually holding back here; she subsequently cranked the funny up a notch in a suck-up interview with the GBLT fishwrap of record, The Washington Blade:

"I think [Palin] is the worst thing to happen to America since 9-11," Cho said. "Someone who has no thoughts about women's rights and who wants to send women back to the Stone Age"
[...]
"The reach of homophobia and hatred is so wide, it's disturbing how deep it is," Cho said. "Now with Sarah Palin, who is so anti-gay and advocated camps for them to go to be brainwashed, she is a real sign of something very wrong with this country, a real problem. We are battling homophobia on so many fronts."

Cho will be in Washington next week to accept a leadership award from the Victory Fund, a national organization that helps LGBT candidates get elected to public office.

115 Yeah... Margaret Cho claimed to be a Christian. How on earth does that fit with her act, which is half hate and bitterness directed at Christians? Is it self hate, or is she just making crap up to sound credible? And why on earth does this woman get any attention? Fat, ugly, hateful, untalented, what does that add up to? A spot on The View, apparently.

Both her and Whoopie Goldberg are benefitting from a Hollywood version of affirmative action: they're of color and thus must be talented and brilliant, we must adore them, no matter how much they suck.

There's another factor in the case of Cho -- she's a fag hag who relentlessly flatters insecure homos and tells them how wonderful and cruelly persecuted they are, and the insecure homos repay this by telling her what a gifted comedian she is, and buying concert tickets.

I can't see so good." Young man comes closer.   Old man squints. "Who's that?"   Young man leans closer and whispers, "Vito Palin."   "Eh? I no hear so good."   Louder. "Vito Palin."   Glimmer of recognition in old man's eyes. "What can I do for you?"   "I am here to deliver a message: I saved you $25,000."   Young man suddenly plunges large knife into old man's abdomen and rips it across his midsection. Old man agonizes. Young man pulls an old column from his pocket and knives it deeply into the old man's chest with a single thrust, and strides toward a waiting car.   (sorry if dupe)
