Hey MoochChassidy go Blow Yourself!Why do you Keep Returning here then to Post Your Bullshit Opinions.

[FlannelMenace]

Terrible. Maybe if I had never heard or seen any of Bruce's original material and only listened to the lies that are perpetuated today to discredit the most profound performer of the 20th century, I would think this was good.

[Skrimm]

All you Bruce & Icon Worishipers out there looking to be offended by this,Lighten up!Take this in the spirit that it was meant-high praise & flattery.This was done before any of Lenny's legal Troubles started,and on the show that featured him twice.Consider the historical context,without bringing to bear all that you know & feel now.Bruce would have been flattered i'm sure.Lenny Bruce as profound and insightfull a social critic as he was, at his core,was still a comic.

This clown was the show's cast-member, Pat Harrington Jr. doing a broad satire on Lenny Bruce. Broad satire deals with "capturing the personality" of the person being spoofed instead of being dead-on with the vocal. The satire dealt with the very idea of "Lenny Bruce" saying those kinds of things. It's satire...not a comedy form that everyone get's.

Considering that Steve Allen ended up one of the worst of the censorship nags, it's telling to see him pulling away from Lenny Bruce when formerly he'd championed him on the Tonight Show.

If this man truly did have talent, as everyone insists, it truly escapes me. Indeed, I'm quite certain that his enduring fame has more to do with his Jewishness (which he seems to have dwelled upon incessantly in his overrated acts) than from any true merits of his "comedy." If anyone truly doubts that Jews control Hollywood, ask yourselves, "why are there mainstream movies about Andy Kauffman (also of dubious comedic talent) and Lenny Bruce, yet none about, say, George Washington?
