That Louis C.K. monologue, from SNL, feels like he made a bet ("Hey Chris Rock, bet you I can do 5 minutes of animal jokes and still get laughs.") -- nm - Flavorize Apr 9, 14:32 4
- Some of the chicken stuff was funny, some of the goat stuff, but then it was a mess. -- nm - Spawn Apr 9, 14:40
- It wasn't horrible, but it wasn't "funny." I kept waiting to laugh. -- nm - JaxSean Apr 9, 14:34 2
