They poked fun at everybody. Kids who didn’t want to go to school. Parents trying to get their kids to school. Nuns. Police. Idiots who get high. There was nothing off limits.
I think to me and my friends it was refreshing to see two guys who took nothing seriously. We had enough pressure to get good grades, find girlfriends, earn money, and keep our parents happy.
It was our kinda comedy and gave us a chance to laugh at ourselves and everyone around us in the process.
I doubt I would ever listen to it / watch it regularly now. Shoot, I don’t even think we listened to it / watched it that often back then. Maybe once every few months? I don’t recall. Mostly we listened to music and drank beer when we got together. Comedy acts were not real high on our list of things to do.
We did like George Carlin back then also. Much later in life my wife and I saw Carlin at MGM Vegas just a few years before he died and his act was horrid. He was trying out new material (he said) and it was bombing big time. I can remember leaving there a bit angry at him, actually.
There is a new comedy club in downtown escondido and it is very good. My wife and I went a few times and really enjoyed it. Once all this lockdown clears out, you should go if you live in north county.
