Worst Material Ever

[Horff]

Howard should invent a new show called "Am I Funnier than a Fifth Grader"

[Lola]

Why should Howard CARE if anyone likes his show now?
They are paying him anyway. This is his way of being mean and vindictive.

Eventually he'll write a book and agree that he tried to make his show the worst thing ever
and the fans still listened.
I mean really. How many times does he have to say that he hates his fans?
and people still listen...ponderous.

[HowieStearn]

Howard seems baffled by the concept of walking away from money based upon principle

[Jim Lahey]

Beans N Cornbread is funnier than Wiggy at this point.

Early on in the Revolution Fred played 2 different phony phone calls with the same fake caller on the line.

I always found it goofy when apologists on the other forum would trot out the "So what if it's fake? You found it funny when you thought it was a real call!" Though I have to say, even if the "RILEY, WHAT DID THE DOCTOR TELL YOU?!?" call was fake, my fiance and I still quote that fucking call when one of us says, "Huh?"

The problem with doing things for spite is that you've got to live through the spitefulness. I don't have to listen, and I don't, but he does.................every minute of every fake bit and lame guest.

When you think about it, he's really only pissing on himself and his legacy. Any sane human being...........................fuck, even someone half-crazy in his position would stack the studio with the funniest, most interesting people he knew.

But what he's basically saying is: "I'd rather punish my longtime fans than enjoy myself'.

But really, the "mailing it in/pissing on his fans" thing is ultimately a ruse to cover up the fact he is completely incapable of being funny or entertaining or interesting on his own...................else he would be those things on AGT and various talk show appearances, wouldn't he?!?

Or is he pissing on those fans, too?

If he was even 1/10th as funny and creative as he claims to be he'd have more projects going than that "Family Guy" dude.

I say he's got the Alzheimer's, and this part-time abortion of a show is, sadly, the absolute most he can muster up.

and those dipshits are always the first to cry foul and ask for proof when someone mentions Beth's escorting days or Howard's daughter ODing.

It ain't us that took things off the gold standard of truth, but since he did, it made things so much easier and funnier.

Howard can have it both ways in his mind, but thankfully not on the interwebs.

BTW Do you know how you can tell the Tradio calls are fake?
The Tradio guys never repeats or remotely make reference to things Sal & Richard say.
The boys just re-record their end of the phone call.

dont forget the "artie is sick" prank phone calls.

they get releases, but some how called the same guy with the "artie cough/sick sick as a dog" bit?

[Odd Vaark]

Bottom-line: Artie when sober was funny and shifted the burden away from Howard and Fred as the writer so the humor-quotient, although taking a dip, wasn't that obvious. Artie's daze of whine and noses and subsequent departure served to underscore that Fred is a poseur when it comes to comedy writing and that Howard's not so funny, especially "extemporaneously" without being constantly fed Jackie's finger-cotted material. Hindsight's always 20/20 but when I saw the Classic SJ Interviews on Youtube, Jackie's comic genius was very evident in putting questions in John's mouth that often highlighted the pompous and hypocritical nature of the events and/or celebs involved, like the ridiculous Gennifer Flowers presser and attack dog Morton Downey Jr's "nothing's PC and off limits" until it comes to questions about his wife.

Long way of saying: this show took a terminal turn when Howard didn't stand up with Cheepasano on Jackie's behalf or in the interest of his fans, dug into his own pocket to make up the difference.

Jackie Martling: was and always will be THSS MVP!

Comedy is mean and offensive.
Why would anyone say hurtful things just for laughs?

And if Howard thinks he may have offended Negros,gooks, or fruits he immediately sends Sal & Richard or Wolfie out to interview evil racist white people.
