What an absolutely absurd disappointment. I had seen ads for George Lopez’ new show and the whole “party” theme and the potential showcase for his brilliant comedy. Since I had not been a follower of his last show, I thought this might be a chance to see his sense of humor “sans script.” I did have to admit that one of the reasons I never followed the last show was I couldn’t stay with an episode long enough to develop any kind of interest. It just wasn’t very funny.
So I thought…maybe it was just the setting of the show and on his own he would be comically entertaining. But the new show is on a channel I don’t catch often and don’t know the timing of, so I hadn’t caught it yet.
Last night, however, I was channel surfing and stumbled on the show. I didn’t even last 30 seconds. He is in some kind of monologue and he is bringing up Sarah Palin (of course talk of the town today since her book comes out today) and it is an obvious slam coming just in his pronunciation of Palin’s name. His next comment is “her new book is coming out called Going Rogue, why don’t we call this piece of s**t Going Away and get rid of her”… which was not only all I needed to hear of his new show, but all I will ever need to hear from or about George Lopez.
Is this what comedy has become? Is this what is funny! And yes, the people did laugh. Does Lopez know Sarah Palin well enough to make that kind of statement? And of course he has read the book to be able to make the comment about it being a piece of s**t. This must also mean he has an inside track in the publishing business since the book wasn’t even out yet.
My objection isn’t that Lopez has an “opinion”, but to use his “talent forum” to spew what the media so vehemently blames conservatives of … hatred, showcased what a peanut sized brain this guy has. This is how he makes people laugh? Which brings me back to the question as to whether this is what comedy has become? People seemed to think it was “funny.” What an unfortunate degradation of social discourse it has become to have this banter of crap helping weave the fabric of our land. We’re losing it if we think this is funny.
Saturday Night Live seems to be able to wax politically, humorously, without having to resort to rank vile hate stirring rhetoric. I am now forced to assume that George Lopez is not funny without it. I guess since I wasn’t able to stay with his first show either, I must not find George Lopez very funny at all. What’s the old phrase?… “Different Strokes.”
By the way, the sticker isn’t because I think Palin is even going to run, this time, but to illustrate the Libs most abhorrent fear, Sarah Palin for President. Isn’t it time to wonder what these people are so afraid of. They’re certainly not afraid of keeping us out of work. They’re not afraid of bringing terrorists into the country. They not afraid of no protection on our borders. They’re not afraid of destroying companies and competition. They’re not afraid of bankrupting the country … but they seem to be terrified of Sarah Palin. I wonder why?
