Not sure how many of you have seen this, but it's a pretty great quote:

hello 2001

Still sounds like the future to me.
And I only just saw this (obviously).

it is a good quote though.

Especially since it's a fake.

Well, somebody said it... or wrote it.

chris rock did the opening on SNL this past weekend. i thought it was pretty funny. it was just a very simple routine while he sat at a desk.

he's also in this week's time magazine taking questions from people. the last question: ""why does bacon taste so good?" his response: "cause it's bad for you. why does cocaine smell so good? cause it's bad for you."

We watched "Head of State" over the weekend. Chris wasn't that funny, but I do love Bernie Mac. "The Longest Yard" wasn't too good either, but I think that was because of Adam Sandler.

Chris Rock has had the most spectacular fall into mediocrity of any comedian in recent memory.

I remember when "Bring the Pain" came out and "getting your salad tossed" entered into the lexicon of every college students vocabulary.


Then came the gems "Lethal Weapon 4", "Down to Earth", and "Head of State" and other debacles. I find him painfully unfunny and his schtick tired.


I haven't seen "Everybody Hates Chris" so I'll withhold judgement but his track record in the 2000's hasn't moved me to check it out.

hes just trying to imitate the fall of his idol, mr. eddie murphy.

their career paths are strikingly similar.

I re-watched his stand up show from 2004 -- surprisingly hilarious.

And yeah on the Eddie Murphy comments. I think the edge comes from being poor. Hard to maintain a decent level of outrage when you're making millions.

Except Eddie had #1 smash hit movies (48 Hours, Trading Places, Beverly Hills Cop) before moving into making family movies where he had smashes there too (Shrek, Nutty Professor)


But I get what you're saying, edgy comic that goes mainstream.

Except Eddie had #1 smash hit movies (48 Hours, Trading Places, Beverly Hills Cop) before moving into making family movies where he had smashes there too (Shrek, Nutty Professor)



Yeah, i wasnt equating "smash hit movies" with quality. Ill admit eddie had plenty of billion-dollar movies, but few of them were any good. And I think Chris would love to have that kind of success (hence, the idol part). Everything Eddie Murphy has done in the last twenty years that was any good was pure luck.

dog at the box office, though that could be that it seemed like it had 0% marketing push behind it.

I found him funny at one time, ironically when Juvenile's "Back that Azz" up song was big.

Au contraire. Undetermined.

Fu, did you get yr info from wikipedia?

Undetermined as to whether he said it first, i.e., "best rapper is a white guy and best golfer is a black guy", but the rest of it was tacked on well after, and we know how the internet works.

I just got this spammed to me by my Grandmother.

Ha ha, my granny is a day and a half more relevent than PopTodd.

Probably a day and a half younger, too.

No, I think George Carlin said this. Or Andy Rooney. Pretty sure because my dumbass cracker in-laws sent it to everyone in Northern Kentucky.

someone ban this dude!

someone make this dude a moderationator!

Goddamn if this isn't the truth.

But then how will we ever hear about the adventures of Young Tina?
