Re: Bender I think Tracy is funny

Well, I guess that is why they have horse races, Seven... as more than one opinion justifies them.

Still, I have never, ever laughed at anything Tracy Morgan has said or done... in anything I have seen him in on television. I must admit I do not see him much as I have learned to look elsewhere to please my twisted sense of humor.

I also do not find anything comical at all in most recent TV Sitcoms such as "New Girl" or "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" that the mass media keep telling me are 'hilarious, laugh out loud funny!"

Of course, I can plead old age as I was brought up on television comedy in the 1950s, 60s and 70s when comedy writers actually earned their money.

However, I am not a Golden Age of Television snob as I thoroughly enjoyed and laughed out loud at the zaniness of "Seinfeld," the quirkiness of "Friends" and today's science vs. reality of "The Big Bang Theory."

But I shall go to my grave firm in the knowledge that 98% of today's TV Sitcoms... and so-called hip comedians like Tracy Morgan are witless and lack any funny bone at all--

For the record, I didn’t like “Friends.” I especially didn’t like it when it was being used as political/culture war propaganda to further the gay (”marriage”) agenda.

As for Tracy Morgan, the funniest bit I recall him doing was when he dressed up as Bubba’s secretary Betty Currie and slow danced to Aretha Franklin’s “Chain of Fools” on SNL.

I’ve never heard him do stand up before, listening to a little now, vulgar sex stuff.

He was okish on SNL, from what little I remember. He’s no Eddie Murphy, Richard Pryor, Dave Chappelle, or even Martin Lawrence.

I didn’t find “30 Rock” to be very funny. His brand of humor is weird to me. Random, disjointed, I’m not sure what word I’m looking for. According to Wikipedia he was once a failed crack dealer, I’m not shocked.

I think he’s offbase suing Walmart. Frivolous lawsuits won’t bring your friend back, Tracy. I hope he gets better though, it doesn’t sound like he’s in a good place mentally.

I like “The Big Bang Theory” too, it’s the only current network sitcom I watch.
