Denis Leary is so annoying...
His big rambling speech about eating Bacon was awful...
shareHis speech was kind of an inside joke. If you were old enough... you would remember how he got his start. He made short semi political commentaries in that fashion... While pacing back a forth. It was funny when it came out.
shareYeah, Dennis was basically doing his stand-up routine in this movie. I can see why he was chosen, as his very public views on such things fit right in with the plot of the film, but it did feel a bit contrived and like you expected Dennis to stand up at a mic in front of a brick wall at any minute and start singing "I'm An A$$hole". It didn't feel natural, but still it never really bothered me.

Did you know he stole that bit? Kinda shocking.

There's nothing shocking about comedians stealing bits, or even entire acts. Sam Kinison used to say that Leary stole his entire act. I don't know about that, but copying/stealing from other comedians is certainly nothing new and it still goes on. If you look at this latest generation of comedians that seem to be running Comedy Central these days, they all have the same act. They all have the same "edgy"/shock value routine.

Being common doesn't make it okay or less shocking. Killing people was common during WWII, it was still shocking and terrible. You cannot excuse dishonest actions by saying "everybody does it". To not care because people do it all the time is absurd.
Who are these modern comics stealing people's bits(besides Carlos Man-steal-ia)? Please name these supposed thieves. Call them out on their *beep* Don't make vague statements without backing it up with examples. share
Did you really compare comedians stealing bits to soldiers dying in WWII? Why are you getting so worked up over stand-up comedy? And look sh!t up for yourself.

Who is worked up? Not me. I think you might be though.
It's called an analogy, not a comparison.
An analogy is a cognitive process of transferring information or meaning from a particular subject (the analogue or source) to another particular subject (the target), or a linguistic expression corresponding to such a process.
You also never answered me. Classic strawman fallacy argument. I'll just assume you are full of sh!t, until you make a reasonable counterpoint(fat chance). share
It's called an analogy, not a comparison.
a·nal·o·gy (dictionary.com)
noun, plural a·nal·o·gies.
1. a similarity between like features of two things, on which a comparison may be based: the analogy between the heart and a pump.
2. similarity or comparability: I see no analogy between your problem and mine.
I can copy/paste things too. And since you clearly know where Wikipedia is, they have an entire article on joke theft. I think something you're not considering, is that I don't give two sh!ts about debating you. You say I need to present evidence and make reasonable counterpoints. I didn't realize this was a court of law, I thought it was the Demolition Man board on IMDb. If you don't believe it, it isn't my job to spoon feed you info, I don't care if you believe it or not. Look it up, or don't. I can tell you're looking for an argument/feud, and I'm not. I came here to talk Demolition Man, and you're dragging WWII into it, on Memorial Day of all days.
By the way, I think it's very funny that you're upset about people stealing material without giving credit, and you copy/pasted the definition of Analogy from Wikipedia and used it in your sentence as if it was your own thought.

Still dodging the question. Shocker....
One last chance to engage in an actual debate(and not a straw-man argument) before you go on the ignore list with your dimwitted troll buddies. share
