    <p>I wondered where this comment came from and then watched the clip. You are right, what a dick. I don't have a problem with the content and as pointed out, the big point was spot on, but what an attitude of self-righteous cockness.</p>

    He's the arsehole that had the dancers celebrating when that guy was killed by a shark at Muriwai.

    It's his shtick. He's normal in interviews.

    I'm not offended, what I've seen of him so far makes me think he's not actually very funny and his schtick is just being an obnoxious dick. <br><br>
    Having said that the last third of that clip was pretty good so I might check out some of his more recent stuff and see what act is like these days.

    <p>I enjoyed his TV show. His first comedy album, Shakespeare, is probably the best thing he's done. It's on Spotify.</p>

    <p>I'm not offended, but, I don't really get his premise though, he's having a go at people for their false platitudes after a tragedy by making a joke about the tragedy? Then as part of his rant he makes fun of the attention people want by posting their platitudes. All the while he's posting a joke about a tragedy that's going to get him attention.  :think:</p>

    <p>Agree, the first half was shit. Bragging about his attention seeking through behaving like a massive jerk, the last part would have been better without it.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>What I have seen of him isn't really funny , it looks more like covering up his lack of talent by being outrageously crass. I have no issue with crass or offensive comedy I just don't think he's all that funny.</p>

    Doesn't matter what comedian gets mentioned on here. You'll always get a couple of posters saying they ain't funny.<br><br>
    I laughed, as did a rather large audience.

    <p>Well if we all thought the same way it'd be a pretty boring world.</p>

    <p>Also we'd have nothing to pointlessly argue with strangers about on the internet.</p>

    <p>He's saying the people who berate him for making jokes about tragedy are the same ones who auto-tweet after every tragedy using it to leverage themselves into the spotlight. The people reading his post tragedy tweets are not the people genuinely affected by it, they are the people desperately trying to climb onto the tragedy to get themselves some sad level of visability. Its the digital equivelant of people dropping off a teddy bear at the gates of a house where a kid they don't know & a family they never met died. But at which Sky news has a camera.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>You've really never read someone on Facebook post tragedy talking about the time they blah blah so in effect their post is 99% "look at me in this time of horror" & 1% "I feel sad for them"?</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Its like when Princess Diana died & you had people going "So sad! I met her & she spoke to me & was lovely!"</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>So thats 99% "I am special because I spoke to her!!! I'm sadder than the rest of you! my sadness is more important!!" and 1% "RIP Di"</p>

    <p>Ski season nearly here.</p>

    <p>That flip into Corbet's couloir would take big balls. You can scout around the internet and see how tentatively "regular" skiers launch themselves here.</p>
