remember this was post-2001, iraq war starting, turn on the tv and see people like nick dipaolo talk about politics, I mean this was pretty much when hs-kid-me lost any faith I still had in the world

there's other comedians whose material is bad/boring/not funny but Quinn is literally the WORST comedian I have ever seen, just incapable of performing the role.
I thought he was terrible on SNL, so I've never really paid much attention to him elsewhere.
Don't really understand why Seinfeld loves him so much.

i mean i'm not saying that i agreed with like anything that was said, just the concept of a bunch of comedians with basically failed careers getting together and being generally mean-spirited to each other was funnier than most of what Comedy Central airs
saying you have to be stupid to watch it because the political views were stupid really misses the point IMO. I don't think any of the guys on the show really believed what they were saying

not sure I need any more evidence for why this was one of the worst things in the history of mankind when I have 'frogbs enjoyed it'

watching Colin Quinn try to tell a joke is like watching a blind man try to drive a car

he's been an excellent twitter troll as of late

yeah Colin's probably a very good writer its just watching him perform is awful, even on this show - his own show, by the way! - he always looked like he'd rather be anywhere else

I think CQ's pretty funny on twitter too. I saw him live accidentally years ago and he was OK in person too iirc.

really loved when he was on weekend update as a lion.

The WTF with Jim Norton was so disturbing. That guy is really messed up.
a friend of mine has his book (apparently he's on Opie and Anthony all the time) and from what I read he's probably going to be the next death
― I'm in the mood to party (J0n Arbuckle), Wednesday, 30 November 2011 17:18 (twelve years ago) link
all of these guys are always on Opie and Anthony apparently
I think what this means is that O&A are killing ppl

Colin Quinn did some sort of weird speech at some Comedy Central EOY bullshit awards ceremony or something that was surprisingly not-half-assed

nick dipaolo and jim norton are both terrible ppl, jim norton is kinda funny
giraldo and patrice are cool, i think judy gold was okay? she was on last comic standing too, right?
colin quinn is terrible
― v-shasty, Wednesday, 30 November 2011 20:09 (twelve years ago) link
i think at some point they did a "highlights" show (...) and they did a montage of someone bombing and the other panelists calling them out on it, i think it's on youtube, i remember it being kinda funny
― v-shasty, Wednesday, 30 November 2011 20:10 (twelve years ago) link
judy gold is just a female nick dipaolo

I never even watched this show because Colin Quinn is just painful.

Always seems weird when genuinely funny people like Louis CK or Chris Rock rep for shitty comics like these.
― milo z, Wednesday, 30 November 2011 20:17 (twelve years ago) link
i dunno quite honestly i'd take any of them over some of the special guests they'd get. if it was just Giraldo/Patrice/Norton/random 4th it would be good but IIRC they wound up just switching people out every day so you would get episodes where it seemed like nobody really knew each other and that was death

how many of these guys were in that louie poker scene?
― v-shasty, Wednesday, 30 November 2011 20:19 (twelve years ago) link
Just DiPaolo, I think. And Jim Norton was in the Dane Cook episode, right?
― milo z, Wednesday, 30 November 2011 20:21 (twelve years ago) link
I think so. He was def in one I watched recently.
