poor taste?

Eddie Murphy was great.

Jim Norton on Islam

The content of both comedians aside, Eddie Murphy kills this dude. Norton's delivery sucks, the faces, the pauses. Ugh.

I guess it isnt fair to compare the two though

Way to deflect again dork..this thread isn't about each comedian's delivery, its about the content that you "put aside".

So what do you think about those Islam and gay jokes? Were they too offensive and in poor taste for you?

Its hard to compare Norton to Eddie Murphy. Eddie Murphy was great.

Dork? Ouch

I though Eddie Murphy's jokes were funny. The word "faggot" is a little harsh on the ears, but it was a different time. (the AIDs joke was obviously misinformed, but kinda funny).

The other guy wasn't as funny. Some of the jokes were, but I think another comedian giving the jokes might have made it funnier.

I actually don't like the guy, I find his humour not very humorous. Except, that is, when he's on improv shows we have over here, then he's quite funny.

I didn't get all of the British stuff. Some of the rest of it was funny. C+/B-

And I kind of agree on the norton kid. I thought his bit was funny enough and the delivery not that bad but he is a funny looking son of a bitch in a non charismatic way.
