Doug Stanhope

Funny motherfucker who i agree with on most things. Libertarian, drunk, loves mocaine, barely sane, all the way smart as fuck. Compared to Bill Hicks and George Carlin for his provacative thinking he makes funny so that his thoughts can be 'comedy friendly'. He fully deserves to be compared to those greats of comedy, as well as Lenny Bruce and Richard Pryor. Love Bill, miss him. Doug and Bill are similar in being thinkers who make it funny so they are heard as much as, or probably more than, being pro comics. Doug's a different beast to Bill, colder sharper, more ruthless and definately drunker. Doug, like the greats of the funny i have mentioned is the Jester who calls the King a cunt, just as Bill Hicks, Rich Pryor, Lenny Bruce and George Carlin would, could and did. Those men are acknowledged as great. Doug's only hitting mass media now. Time to listen up folks. Doug broke my heart when i found the one country he hates is mine. Still, the man's a fucking true jester-philosopher. 'Doing a Stanhope': Socially disquieting act of pointing out the elephant in the room in a shockingly open way and being funny at the same time, yet not giving a fuck if someone is offended by it. That's their problem.
