Well, Flame-of-the-Week from 6 weeks ago....
2 Comedians going at it is usually pretty high in entertainment value, right up there with drunk chicks with low self-esteem in jello-wrestling contests.
Except that they usually choose 2 drunk chicks of relatively equal skills in order to prolong the spectacle and prevent a one-sided blood(jello)bath.
DAVID CROSS
VS.
LARRY THE CABLE GUY

An open letter to Larry The Cable Guy:
Hello Larry,
It's me, David Cross. Recently I was shooting something for my friends at "Wonder Showzen" (the funniest, most subversive comedy on American T.V. at the moment) and when we were taking a break one of the guys on the show asked me if I had seen some article in something somewhere wherein you were interviewed to promote your new book "Please-Git-R-Done" (published by Crown Books $23.95 U.S.) and they asked about your devoting a chapter to slamming me and the "P.C. Left". Since I stopped following your career shortly after you stopped going on stage wearing a tool belt with cable wrapped around your neck (around your appearance at "Laffs 'n' Food" in Enid, Oklahoma Aug 23-26 1999?) I said I wasn't aware of the article. They went on to tell me that you said basically (and I am not quoting but paraphrasing their recall) that I could kiss your ass, that I've never been to one of your shows (true) and that I didn't know your audience (untrue). |

Well, needless to say I farted. I farted up a fartstorm right there in the Flyin' J Travel Center. I fartingly bought the book and took it home with an excitement I haven't experienced since I got Bertha Chudfarter's Grandma drunk and she took her teeth out and blew me as I was finger banging her while wearing a Jesus sock puppet in the back of the boiler room at The Church of the Redeemer off I-20 (I don't care who you are, that's funny.) |

I have never seen the tool guy or whatever, but I imagine it must be a lot like "You might be a redneck if...."schtik popularized by Jeff Foxworthy.
Personally, I'd like to see a comedian showdown, kinda like those breakdancing contests. "You've been served, biatch!!"
I'd put my money of David Cross, because I think he's pretty funny. Loved him in Mr. Show and Arrested Development.
On a side note: Does anybody know where to find his (David Cross)stand-up routine as a torrent file? |

What's funnier than his jokes is the fact that Jeff Foxworthy a bit of a computer whiz. He used to repair mainframe computers for IBM. I knew a guy who met him at an IBM conference long before he became famous. |

They actually have a TV show together called "Blue Collar TV." It was on AFN last time I was in Seoul. |
