    I'm glad I'm not the only one who hates that bitch. Vulgarity is fine, I mean George Carlin was awesome, but she just doesn't know how to use it. Also her material is just shitty.

    She is absolutely horrible and unfunny. People who laugh at her material should be taken out into the street and set on fire.

    Giraldo had been in a New Jersey hospital since being found unconscious following a party in his hotel room on Saturday. He died earlier today at the age of 44.

    Sounds more like carelessness with the right dosage but with ill advised alcohol consumption than it does OMM NOM NOM MOREPHENE

    I never really saw much of greg giraldo outside of those comedy central roasts, and the only person I've seen on one of those that made any kind of positive impression on me was norm macdonald

    because.. they all are predominately known for their work on roasts? and for their abrasive material?

    it's not really meant to be a pejorative. lots of people like that kind of thing.

    yeah his tendency to be part of every comedy central roast is the only reason I know who this guy is

    exactly
    these guys did roasts because they got paid for making fun of people
    they each have/had very funny stand up routines that don't include Roasts
    which are not funny, ever except that one time snoop dogg made a rap about someone that i think i laughed at

    Yeah I was never the biggest Greg Giraldo fan, didn't really know him outside the Roasts but... man anybody dying in their 40's is terrible. It's terrible when people and their 60's and 70's die, dying at 44 is just, really saddening. I don't care if he OD'd, it's still terrible, I don't really see how that can make it less bad?

    And Yes, I fucking hate Lisa Lampanelli, everytime she's on comedy central I think "fuck why couldn't they waste my time some other way, like showing a reality tv show or something."

    I don't think Giraldo was that funny. He was pretty smart, though.

    Cause of death excluded, of course
