David Letterman for being the biggest douchebag, ever.
Check out this top 9 list from one of the funniest people on the internet today.
Within the list are (ironically) 9 videos of interviews done by David Letterman. In each he basically treats the people he's interviewing like something gross his dog left on the living room carpet for him. He made me feel bad for Paris Hilton for Christ's sake. He made me feel bad for a shallow, useless, spoiled, amateur porn star.
"But James", you're saying in your head, "Dave is hilarious." And that's still true, people can be douchebags and funny all at the same time (ex. Dennis Leary, Lewis Black, Me (not implying I'm anywhere near as funny as the other three people listed, just couldn't think of anyone else to put here), etc.). And I know it is just this sort of edgy humor that makes him beloved by everyone who hates Jay Leno. I also understand that every person he interviewed had it coming. However, it is not as though Paris Hilton or Richard Simmons tied him down and started talking to him. The people who David Letterman employs actively went after these people to be on the show and the way Letterman treated them was just mean.
That being said, at several points, I laughed so hard I nearly pissed my pants, so what does that tell you about me?

You could put Carlos Mencia on that list. but I don't find him funny, just a douchebag.
ReplyDeleteI actually like Paris Hilton now. She seems like she could be sweet. Well, okay, let me explain myself. She is quite obviously a spoiled, raging bitch. No one is going to argue that. But this bitchiness is probably confined to her making empty threats that you'll never be as pretty as her, and she'll make your life in Hollywood hell. What I'm saying is, she doesn't have a lot to offer in the way of threats. She's like the neighbors yappy dog. A clear Napoleanic complex that comes off as more adorable than scary. And that's why I like her. I find her useless snobbery to be adorable...because there's no reason for it.
Do not defend Richard Simmons. That was HILARIOUS. Or Harmony Korine, Harvey Pekar..or CRISPIN GLOVER. Jesus. What is wrong with these guys? I'm curious too, what the hell did Crispin have in that case? And what was his problem? When he pulled up his shirt sleeve, did all those stories of people high on angel dust killing innocent bystanders come back to you, too? God...soo close. :-(
I didn't get a chance to watch the end of the Crispin Glover interview, and I don't get the reference you made at the end :(.
ReplyDeleteI don't mind Paris Hilton, she's a bit annoying, but she's not as all over the place as she used to be. Plus, I've seen her with a penis in her mouth.
You just like those pigtails.
ReplyDeleteI mean, we were like seconds away from watching Glover rip Letterman's head off from a drug-induced rage. He was getting testy in there. Did he have some kind of drug issues when he was young?
Speaking of which, Harmony Korine was a tool. Whatever happened to him, anyway?
