- "It wasn't funny, and it came across as being dickish." What more criticism is being leveled? -- nm - JaxSean Jan 21, 10:12 6
  - That he crossed a line by being too personal. That Dave was joking about "business" and Leno was "personal". - musubi Jan 21, 10:13 5
    - ...because it came across as dickish. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 21, 10:15 4
      - ...mostly to people who already thought he was a dick anyway... -- nm - Stephen Jan 21, 10:23 1
        
        *raises hand* Not me. - Will Hunting Jan 21, 10:25
      - Not to Moose! -- nm - David Jan 21, 10:22
      - But it'd be ok if it were funny? I disagree. Something is too personal because it's too personal, not because it's unfunny. - musubi Jan 21, 10:20
- I agree totally. But you're never going to stop people from debating over whether a comedian crossed the line. -- nm - Roger More Jan 21, 10:10
- Funny gets you forgiveness; unfunny gets you hammered for being a dick - Will Hunting Jan 21, 10:09 7
  - Why *wouldn't* he try to hit back. Dave has been *scathing* to Leno. (nm) - musubi Jan 21, 10:12 6
    - If he's unfunny enough to figure out a retort without resorting to the base "You like screwing interns".....he shouldn't be in comedy - Will Hunting Jan 21, 10:18 2
      - That's not even remotely what happened. Dave and Kimmel called him two-faced, a liar, accused him of stealing material. - musubi Jan 21, 10:22 1
        
        Professional, professional, professional.....personal. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 21, 10:26
    - Well, seems like the writers could have came up with something funny, for starters. -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 21, 10:13 2
      - Again: Have you seen Leno? I don't think he's capable of funny. (nm) - musubi Jan 21, 10:14 1
        
        Sure he is! -- nm - NBC Jan 21, 10:14
