Intelligent Comedy

I like to think of myself as somewhat intelligent. I’m not brilliant, but I’m not stupid either. I don’t particularly like fart jokes; not because I don’t think they’re funny, but I am more amused by sarcasm, black wit, and irony than a bodily misfunction.

That being said, does anyone really get all the cross references in a Dennis Miller stand-up routine? Seriously, I have a headache trying to keep up with all his obscure literary and political references he drops at lightning speed… if he didn’t have a job on stage, what would he do with that vocabulary?

    In Miller’s earlier days the references were more understandble. Me personally, I like satiric humor also. I also dig situational humor such as a man in a bar wearing khaki pants spills a drink on his crotch and has to hide it. Finally, I also dig black humor like Martin and the Friday movies.
