Quote by: CoffeeSaint  The most recent iteration of the whole Lenny Bruce/George Carlin phenomenon (though I have to admit I have never heard or read Bruce's comedy -- one of those things I keep meaning to do and never remember at the appropriate times) was Bill Hicks, who had the same quality of making people uncomfortable just as much, if not more than, he made them laugh. And the fact that he died of lung cancer in his 30's means that he still makes me uncomfortable today. Still makes me laugh, too. |
Don't forget Mort Sahl, the father of political humor.
