I successfully ripped and burned my first DVD today.
Dennis Miller: The Raw Feed
I’ve always liked Miller – even when he was a comedian on SNL. Like myself he underwent a bit of a conversion, or what you victims of the Catholic Church would term a metanoia , after September 11. There’s something about seeing planes slam into things and Palestinians dancing in the streets that changes one’s perspective on things. He’s honest about it, and so am I.
That said, Miller is hilarious. He has the unique ability to mix the intellectual with the profane in a way that no other comedian can do.
He is known for his esoteric references, and there is usually a pause or two after these jokes when your mind chews on them until you burst out laughing. The DVD is only an hour long, but I haven’t had time to finish it. It’s not kid-friendly – and 7 year olds – even mine – would miss the humor but catch the naughty words. I have been doing my best to clean up my language, but it has been f(*&ing difficult – but the Wife is persistent, and having your kid swear like sailor does NOT ingratiate you with the inlaws.
