Steve Martin is by far the best comedian alive. He's intelligent, well-versed, multi-talented, and you know what – an amazingly nice guy. He's one of the greatest performers in our modern age, and I absolutely love him.

@Chardie420 You're right, Chardie. Steve Martin was pretty unfunny, and I realized it then. It always frustrated me that all the teen-age potheads just went along with the trend, much like they did with Howard stern in the 1980's. I'm glad some people, albeit a minority, realize that some of the emperors have no clothes.

The best part of this act is how he acts so smoothly that you wonder whether he actually meant to pop the balloons or not.

@Chardie420 Sorry, but Steve Martin wasn't part of the 70s coke culture. In fact, he's been described as "relentlessly square" during that time period. He did indulge in Marijuana, but gave that up early on in his career. I can accept that you don't like it, everyone has their opinions, but don't call him a cokehead. This is a guy who honed his comedy chops at Disneyland, not underground clubs.

I for one do not find SM funny at all. Maybe its my generation but watching a cokehead prance around on stage relying solely off gags just doesn't do it for me. And people always cite "The Jerk" when this issue comes up. It's like Steve Carrel, oh your great at being and idiot, that's not comedy. Sorry, any funny he has was all up his nose.

I don't know why this is so funny but I keep laughing my ass off..

[atheist382]
