It's true that many comedians, like Kathy Griffin, poke fun at other people, but other comedians alternate their topics. As far as I know, Kathy Griffin is the only one whose entire repertoire is just that: making fun of other people. That shows a massive lack of talent, IMO. I never understood her popularity, well, she and Margaret Cho. They're both so lame and not funny.

You guys just don't get Griffin. She makes fun of herself just as much as she does anyone else.

As for her plastic surgery. OY, she should have left her face alone. She looked much better before and she wasn't exactly pretty to start with.

I still say Bristol if very pretty.

I don't care that she makes fun of people. I just don't think she does it well.

Sad that people have lost their sense of humor. She's the first one to have the nerve to publically acknowledge that she loves controversy. She is not, however, the first to poke fun at a celebrity or a politician. GET OVER IT!

I guess you've never heard of Don Rickles either...

...because this is his schtick, and nobody is better at it than he is.

Nobody. And if lifelongschmogal thinks Rickles would have held off on Bristol in a USO show, she's seriously misinformed.

Difference is, Rickles WOULD have got laughs.

Kathy Griffin is basically an eighteen years younger Joy Baher moonlighting as a comedian.

Exactly. She and Rickles both make fun of people, but he's funny, and she's not.

It is probably the most difficult kind of comedy to pull off successfully. I don't know of anyone other than Rickles that has been able to make a career of it.

Except that stupid dog puppet, but he sucks worse than Griffin.

He's absolutely the best. Griffin is a step or two below Joan Rivers. That dog puppet is horrible.
