Loved Carlin doing the runny shit riff & Sarah Silverman's autobiographical take, and thought the card bloke was brilliant but overall it was rather 'meh'.
The only thing that I had a little trouble with was Doug Stanhope & ??? telling the joke to their babies, but none of the maerial offended me in the slightest. In fact I was rather disappointed at how tame much of it was, given a lot of modern comedy fare ("Jam" & "Nighty Night" for eg) or stuff like the 'Derek & Clive' sessions (who did the "kick her in the cunt" line nearly 25-years ago). With the exception of Bob Sagat & Gottfried (I think it was him who did the rectal bleeding from paternal fisting bit), it seemed only the lesser known comics (or the ones I'd never heard of!) who were willing to go all out. I also wish they'd've explored contemporary taboos more - particularly how terms of racial abuse have replaced most swear words on levels of offense. Plus in the light of all this cartoon bollocks, it's suprising Islam was never touched on (in fact aside from a couple of references, blasphemous aspects were pretty much ignored too.
(I don't know if the above paragraph makes great sense - it's very, very late here & I really need to sleep.)
