Well here is the thing when that brand of humor works in other thing the person being rude is the butt of the jokes and the joke is that the person thinks so highly of himself when really he is just a jerk and everyone knows it. Look at shows like Fawlty Towers or Blackadder for how I like seeing this sort of thing done, he seems to just insult people and the joke doesn't go any farther then that and je seems to really think that highly of himself in real life.

As for what I have been watching, well thanks to METV I have been seeing episodes of The Carol Burnett Show. I had only seen bits and pieces of it before and I have to say it is brilliant. The way she is able to think on her feet when talking to the studio audience is something I really admire and reminds me of Groucho Marx. I think my favorite episode so far is the one with the Gone with the Wind skit but that just may be because I am the only person on the planet who didn't like that movie. Any way this show is brilliant and still stands up, I love it.
