Interesting - only 2 of us, but is a trend appearing LOL?
Well, definitely a pattern emerging here ...
sissy Likes cerebral, verbal and logical or surreal based humor; physical humor such as slapstick, funny faces and farting noises have never appealed to him since he was at the age more appropriate to appreciating them ... like 8 years old! One of the things that appeals to sissy about crossdressing is the basic humor associated with a guy in a dress ... but it is more the illogical and paradox that is entailed with it than the campiness that can be involved, which is more physical humor. If his own public crossdressing has taught him anything it is that confidence and attitude gets one immediately accepted. Folks actually like a transvestite with an attitude (such as Tim Curry as Frank-n-Furter, Eddie Izzard or Denis Rodman) rather than one that apologizes for what he is doing (even if only by his abject demeanor). This creates a difficult tension for sissy in a BDSM context where Dom/mes expect sissy to cop an attitude that is typically submissive (i.e., meek and docile) which contradicts the confidence and in-your-face attitude spirit just alluded to. But then again, BDSM dynamics are frequently all about tension, paradox, and contradiction, aren't they ?
sissy's Top ten most hated comedians, from worse to less worse, are ... cue the drum roll ...
Jerry Lewis - personally, sissy questions how the term "comedian" ever came to be applied to him ... still, he does good work for those kids, i suppose ?
Whoopie Goldberg - sissy is completely baffled at what other really funny guys like Billy Crystal and Robin Williams see in Whoopie ... there has to be some kind of payola involved here!
Carrot Top - you need a little more than a head of shocking red hair to be really funny.
Jim Carrey - pulling not-so-funny faces when you are middle-aged gets a little tiresome.
Janeane Garofalo - sissy likes to say her name (kinda trips off the tongue, doesn't it?) but that's about it ...
Arsenio Hall - have never found this guy's material or delivery funny.
Conan O'Brian - the same as Arse in the Hall but slightly less so.
Chris Farley - too manic, exagerated and over the top ... perhaps David Spade is the only person that found him funny ?
Benny Hill - although he has made sissy chuckle once or twice, where most of the above haven't, sissy can't miss a chance to lend support to all the other thumbs down for Benny here. There is more to humor than bald heads and big breasts! At least that's what mom always told me ... oh wait, that was sex she was talking about!
David Letterman - it's only poetic justice that Letterman end up on a comedy top ten list! sissy Would also nominate Letterman for a short list of bitter and grumpy old men.
and now for sissy's top ten funniest comedians, in reverse order ... the envelope, please ...
Garrison Keillor - first and foremost, he understands better than most the humor inherent in the human condition ... and he's an English major too!
George Carlin - ditto George WRT the human condition ... "Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath." Hmm, sissy wonders if George was ever into AEA ?
Peter Sellers - "I like to watch" ... reruns of old Pink Panther movies! Although Sellers' humor is primarily physical, there's so much more going on with this comedic master!
Paul Reubens - Paul is an acquired taste ... unfortunately, somewhere in sissy's screwed up past he managed to acquire it! There is something very perverted about Pee Wee Herman that appeals to the kinkster in all of us! Hey, Paul is a convicted pervert ... that makes him AOK in sissy's book!
Spike Milligan - When sissy was a teenager he idolized Spike - the human race is so much the poorer for his demise! Puckoon is the first book that sissy ever read that made him laugh out loud with tears rolling down his cheeks, and for that gift he'll always have a piece of sissy's heart ... "Well, we can't stand around here doing nothing, people will think we're workmen!" (Jeez, two thirds of the Goons made sissy's list ... aaah, Ying Tong Iddle-i-po !)
Steven Wright - some say that his humor, like Dennis Miller's, is too cerebral ... so what's their point ? ... "I can levitate birds. No one cares." ... "I have a decaffeinated coffee table. You'd never know it to look at it." ... "You can't have everything. Where would you put it?"
Les Barker - OK, so he's a poet and folk singer rather than just a standup comedian! The heart and soul of Fairport Convention and Mike Harding lives on in the work of Les Barker (oh, wait a minute, Mike Harding is still going strong too!) ... "Dachshunds with erections can't climb stairs."
Eddie Izzard - the man, the myth, and what a great wardrobe! ... “Yes, I’m a professional transvestite - so I can run about in heels and not fall over cause, uh, you know, if women fall over wearing heels, ah, that’s embarrassing, but if a bloke falls over wearing heels, then you have to kill yourself.” That's SO TRUE !
Tommy Cooper - not only a very, very funny comedian, a brilliant magician too! ... "So I was in my car, and I was driving along, and my boss rang up and he said, 'You've been promoted.' And I swerved. Then he rang up a second time and said, 'You've been promoted again.' And I swerved again. He rang up a third time and said, 'You're the new managing director.' And I went into a tree. When the police arrived, a policeman came up and asked, 'What happened to you?' 'I careered off the road,' I said."
Emo Phillips - this guy just cracks sissy up ... "A friend of mine gave me a Philip Glass record. I listened to it for five hours before I realized it had a scratch on it." ... "Women: You can't live with them, and you can't get them to dress up in a skimpy Nazi costume and beat you with a warm squash."
Respectfrilly Yours,
sissy maid lola
