It took me a while to figure out who I hated, exactly. Then it occurred to me that I hate incompetents that dumb people think are hot shit. It also just so happens that most of these people are comedians.
1.)
Carlos Mencia: There's no greater zit on the ass of American television than Mind of Mencia. Not only has it received greenlights for subsequent seasons, but it only exists in order to replace Dave Chappelle, who was a far superior social observer and storyteller than Mencia could ever hope to be. Any relevant commentary is undermined by his uncomfortable
for real racist undertones, and his default to stupid, predictable jokes and DEE DE DEE. What really gets me about all of that, though, is that people are somehow comfortable with it because as a Hispanic, he's somehow categorically oppressed himself, giving him leeway to be a hateful, racist, unfunny little turd. Patrice Williams and Nick di Paolo used racist commentary in their comedy, but Patrice is black and Nick is Italian, so they get voice-over work for Shorties Watching Shorties. The real Dee de dees are the people that still watch this shit.
2.)
Todd Howard. Obvious reasons. He ruined one good game franchise and is well on the way to gutting our favorite. He wouldn't make the list, however, if he wasn't so goddamn stupid. It'd be different if he was just some jerk with a "suit" mentality of gaming design, but that dork actually thinks he's doing a good job. Any idea of Todd possessing any intelligence went completely out of the window after that radio interview. Beforehand I thought he was a loathesome liar, now I think he needs a social worker to watch his drool.
3.)
Dennis Leary. What a fucking hack. Dennis Leary would be nothing without Bill Hicks, because otherwise he wouldn't have been able to steal the routine that he's milked for over a decade before he plays some jerkoff fireman in a not-funny tv show. If Hicks had been the one to survive cancer, then Leary would have been forgotten outside of the gutter trash nightclub he started in. Don't think Leary isn't funny?
Greg Giraldo proved it.
4.)
Jon Stewart. Yes, I still like the Daily Show, but I hate Jon Stewart. The man has
never been funny, and while he may be a skilled improv, it sort of necessitates that he play off of the conditions provided by other people. Nevermind either that most of his "improv" on the Daily Show involves annoying "Jew" sounds and making passing shots at Dangerfield-esque nervous nicks. I did watch the Oscars that year, Stewart, and you're not funny. What's even better is that he knows it, yet people still want him to do dumb shit for them. Nevermind that he's already been easily upstaged by Stephen Colbert, Steve Carrel, and even Rob Cordry. Out of all Daily Show contributors, the only person more loathsome than Stewart is Mo Rocca, since he seems content to be a B-list cable celebrity instead of being funny.
5.)
Edward Bauman. Profiting from other people's work and not giving them due credit is the most loathsome method of internet profiteering outside of child pornography, yet Edward Bauman and his mongoloid father have somehow eluded any relevant legal action from people claiming that he stole their stuff without permission by flooding them with a legal team they couldn't possibly afford to match, but people continue going to ebaumsworld every day and think the place is the shit. It's not even designed well. I could've made that website in HTML class with enough webspace (also not necessary for the Edward Bauman whose cronies have no problem with direct-linking off of other's webspaces). Lastly, Bauman pisses all over any semblance of artistic respect by slapping that goddamn ebamsworld logo on every hosted item, as if it were produced by the site, even going so far as to remove signatures and marks made by the original artist. Yeah, Something Awful hates Edward Bauman, but they're right. He's a shitstain in the internet's undies, and it's time to soak him in the sink before we toss it out the window.
im gonna go back to my hood, word. only thing i need to survive is a pc with internetconnection, yeah and food, but thats not so important.
