The only thing I can say about Adam Corolla is he's not a douche bag

2
...which amounts to high praise in this day and age of celebrity of douche nozzles

3 "Girls jumping on trampolines" was pretty awesome though.

4 Don't know much about him but I had one of his cars in college.

Who was the better Angel of Death on Family Guy?

a) Adam Corolla
b) Norm McDonald
c) the show sucks, so who cares!

7 Can't hear it, what's the Clift Notes?

Another one?  Fresh on the heels of the imminent sinking of Guam?

Is MSNBC looking for someone to replace Olbermann?  C'mon - you can tell us.

B. And C.

Favorite Man Show skit was when he's working in the hardware store, and he's sitting on a display toilet reading the sports page. 

Scat humor=ALWAYS funney.

11 O/T:  "Demacrook Rangel Smears DC Protesters; Compares Them to Racist Groups During Civil Rights Movement"

I'm not the only one who is sick of hearing this absolute crap.  A lot of my hard working black middle class friends are sick of hearing it too.  One of them pointed out that this all started with "eric and his stupid speech".

12 I haven't listened to that podcast yet, but if it's anything like his other ones, it'll be incredible.  He did a podcast with Roger L. Simon a few days back and completely destroyed a bunch of California Democrats.

Seeing as how California has been the testing ground for every liberal idea from the 1960's and the state is currently a disaster, it's sort of amazing that more celebrities haven't connected the dots.  Then again, that's why Carolla talks for a living and guys like Sean Penn just read the words that are written for them.

13 "Lib Hate Groups Demand Apology From RNC(?) For Fabricated Hate at Tea Party Rallies"

14 Haven't heard this yet but Adam is, at least by Hollywood standards, very conservative. His podcast is often very good and I would recommend that people subscribe to it. It's rare to have a Hollywood guy willing to voice non-PC opinions.

Get it on!

15 Under the playlist that pops up it's the "Adam and You" podcast.  He starts with immigration, and yeah it's pretty funny so far.

"The more people selling #$%@ on the street, the #$%^ier that country is."  heh

16 Nice of Rush to remind us that the unions had their pensions made whole in the GM bailout and that the bond holders were screwed by the prez who called them "unreasonable".   I really didn't need the aggravating reminder today.

17 Corolla is basically a common sense guy. Center-right politics are common sense.

18 Well, look.  I've been listening to Carolla for years, including his podcast.  I haven't yet heard this particular one, but unless it's somehow the equivalent of a born-again moment, color me skeptical.

Yeah, he throws off a good rant once in awhile, but he really is a dummy, one of those nitwits who gets the most exorcised over social con boogeymen.

He was an Obama voter in '08, and he'll probably still be one in '12, because the biggest problem, as far as he's been concerned, has been the social cons.

He's the epitome of that guy who cannot see what the Left is already doing because he's too worked up imagining what the Right might do.

19 I listen to Adam all the time.  He's more of a libertarian in his beliefs, I would say.  Especially in the area of drugs and few others.  I like that he's non-PC and not afraid to speak his mind in Hollywood. 

Get it on!!

They have millions of dollars.

What the hell is there to connect?

21 The good thing about living in la, besides the weather, is being able to hear Carolla on Kevin & Bean.

22 Best skit ever was Carolla & Kimmel strap an animatronic deer onto a car and then provide the deer a voice who harrasses and begs people that pass by for food, drinks, to let him go, and of course to ask girls out.  Hilarious.

23

They have millions of dollars.

What the hell is there to connect?

Exactly.  They're completely insulated to whatever happens with their piles of cash.  If they start to really worry, they can always leave for greener pastures.

24 ok, which one is this because there's nothing but, ok go talking about music and shit.

25 Jimmy and Adam also once set up a booth at some event and had women sign a petition to end women's suffrage. Funny.

26 sorry -- look down the list in the window for "Adam Carolla and You."

27 He's half right about his education point, part of it is the parents. But, part of it is a decline in the teachers as well. Still, it's nice that he's willing to say what people refuse to say.

28 Racist.

29 Yeah I may subscribe to this.  It is pretty good.  He says fuck too much, but he is funny.

Right now I listen to Levin, but while the content is good on Levin's show, the Levin attitude really grates on me.  If he isn't whinging about Glenn Beck or going on about how he thought about it first and everybody just copies him, then he is engaging in that Levin humor which is roughly the same as you would find in a slightly retarded four-year-old child.  I frequently wonder why the hell I listen to the douche.  So maybe Corolla will get the spot.

30 Okay, so having heard the whole rant, it's really good, but I stand by what I posted before:  Carolla still thinks we (conservatives, and in particular social cons) are the bigger problem, and he's a nitwit for that.

He and his buddy Dr. Drew are Obama zombies.  Carolla's just too dumb, or too cowardly, to notice or acknowledge how conservative he really is, presumably because of the circles he travels in.

31 So if you're considering subscribing to his podcast, just understand that he throws anti-conservative sucker punches our way on a regular basis that are so ignorant it will make your head spin.

32 Well, I am not a conservative, although I do react negatively sometimes to stupid criticisms of conservatives.  But if he really is an Obama guy, then maybe he's not going to work out either. 

33 #19
I agree.  Like when he hung up on Ann Coulter.

34 I like Carolla. And I actually enjoyed The Hammer.

35 Kensington - could you please make another post expressing your position. I don't think we are quite clear on it yet.

36 Sorry, it's a pet peeve.  I just hate to see that guy get so much credit from people he regularly holds in contempt.

37 19. I disagree that he gets most worked up over social cons, he gets far more possed off about LA traffic laws. I still find him entertaining.

38 Damn, he dumped on his parents fairly hard. 

39 Oh come on you dicks in the mud.

'Villa-retardo' was funny.

40

Thanks, that was funny.

41 Adam Carolla's podcast is always great.

42 Search on youtube for "adam corrola" and "hell"...pretty funny. Some Christain guys calls him up and tells him he is going to burn in hell and he wants to save him. Adam asks the guy how the burning works...does the flesh grow back and reburn. He suggests he might start taking really hot baths to get himself adjusted to the burning in eternity.

43

Who was the better Angel of Death on Family Guy?

a) Adam Corolla
b) Norm McDonald
c) the show sucks, so who cares!

(c), though it can make me laugh.

Anyway, my real point is that Norm McDonald is fairly conservative, too--certainly by Hollywood standards.  Dennis Miller has him on periodically, and McDonald copped to being pro-life, which is the next best thing to the kiss of death in the entertainment world. 

44 Also check out his Kenny Rogers...Coward of the County song analysis on youtube. Would link it but can't access it at work.

45 What's the deal between Carolla, Kimmel, and Maher?  He mentioned something about Maher not having him on any more because of Kimmel.  Did Kimmel bust on Maher really bad or something?

46 Woah, Norm McDonald copped to being pro-life!?!  That's amazing, and wonderful!

And here's a link to the Coward of the County analysis.  It is very funny.

47 How did Carolla end up doing Pod Casts and Kimmel get a late night show?

48 Oh yeah, and his pitch for a movie idea called "Pedof-Isle" is also worth a listen.

49

He's the epitome of that guy who cannot see what the Left is already doing because he's too worked up imagining what the Right might do.


I'm stealing that because it describes so many people I know.

Kinda like a lefty athiest I used to be friends with who was always going on about Christians forcing their values on him.

I said, "Almost every one of your friends is a Christian, yet you're the one who always has to bring up religion and argue about it. Have any of them ever tried to drag you to church or make you pay for their causes the way your side demands I pay for theirs?"

Then it was all blah blah blah, Christians are anti-science and other such ignorant nonsense.

Then the guy lost his job and pretty much imploded. All his mean ol', judgemental, anti-science Christian friends did everything they could to help him, but he was more interested in feeling sorry for himself and blaming the world for his problems.

Today he's pretty much alone and friendless, which is exactly where he deserves to be in life for insulting and disrespecting the people who cared most about him.

 

50 Kensington, have you ever actually listened to Carolla? He's got an eclectic mix of opinions and he's probably closer to libertarian than anything else. To the extent that libertarians don't like social conservative laws about personal behavior, yeah, he bumps them. As for him taking shots at social con boogeymen, please cite an example, as he actually tends to fall for boogeymen invented by the social cons, such as immigration, rather than bashing them. As for being an "Obama guy," he didn't vote in the last election and he told people not to vote, as he said that whoever the President is has practically no effect on people's lives. In that respect, he's taking the libertarian line that govt is mostly an annoying distraction. rdbrewer, Kimmel took Maher's late night spot after Politically Incorrect got canceled because of his politically incorrect line about the terrorists being braver than the US army. Adam thinks Maher is still mad at Kimmel for taking his time slot after he got canceled. AndrewsDad, Kimmel is a workaholic like Leno who will obsess over his show and has had the best late show basically ever since he started. Look at how he easily demolished Leno on the fly. Adam's more of a rambler who's more suited for audio interviews, where he can display his unmatched lightning-quick wit. Nobody who knows comedy thinks the late night hosts are the funniest guys out there, but the guys who are funnier tend to be the kind of guys who don't want a 9 to 5, let alone an 8 to 7.

51 Ok, I listened to the rant. Very funny. Very non-PC. Lots of cursing. Lots of referring to stupid "homo lefties" or describing the left as "faggoty". The rant is basically -- LA is turning into Tijuana and nobody will say a goddamn thing about it. Corolla is from LA, so it's personal as he sees his hometown being turned into a 3rd world craphole and anybody who points that out gets called a racist. And the rich white liberal elite won't even answer the question of why they spend $20k a year to send their 12 year old to "Fudgepacker Academy of Brentwood" instead of the free school 4 blocks down the road that is 90% Mexican.

The quotes are direct from the podcast. I admit to laughing at Fudgepacker Academy of Brentwood.

52

I'm a regular Carolla listener, and he's not an Obama zombie. He's surrounded by predictable liberals like Dr. Drew and Jimmy Kimmel, but he's very much his own man, and frequently chides "all my liberal friends" about things like immigration, government regulation, fighting terrorism, the Patriot Act, torture complaints, etc.

He's no conservative either. He's very much in favor of legalizing pot, he's an atheist who thinks religion as silly and views social conservatives as clownish prudes. It's hard to classify him. He's generally an Instapundit-style libertarian; he wants government out of most of his life, but he's fine with a strong government when it comes to national security.

To say he regularly throws sucker punches our way really isn't true. If you look at his message boards, you'll often find liberal listeners complaining more about his conservative rants than the other way around.

53 No, sprewell.  I've never actually listened to him.  That's why I said in my first post that I've been listening to him for years.

And whether or not he actually voted for Obama, I've got recordings of appearances he made on Loveline right after the election and around the inaugeration, during which both he and Dr. Drew were ecstatic about the new Hopenchange Utopia, mainly because the conservatives had been knocked out of power, which they both thought was just great.

And if you want examples, just listen to any of his podcasts when he has liberal guests.  He sits there and lets douchebags like Richard Belzer and Seth MacFarlane rant on and on about rightwingers and never says a word.

For another example, last year he at least twice handed over entire shows to stand-up comics posing as Republican politicans and spent the entire show running through one lamebrained conservative-bashing gag after another.

Mind you, I'm not saying the guy isn't funny.  I just wanted to point out that he's often a total dick to conservatives, even though he sometimes does rants that we can enjoy, too.

54

By the way Ace, the "Gay Eye" thing is part of a running bit he's done over the years on made-up movies. He makes up movie plots based on all the ridiculous Hollywood cliches. He doesn't really think it would be a good movie, other than as something he could have fun with (like when he makes fun of "Roadhouse" or "Point Break").

Of course, one of Carolla's nicknames is Ace. I'm not sure this town's big enough for two Aces.

55 Now that was a righteous podcast.

I need to check this Carolla out more. This is the kind of Straight Talk Express the country needs.

And Get. Off. His. Lawn!

56 I think Manshow is a pretty cool guy. eh bases his political decisions on his own personal beliefs and doesn't afraid of anything.

57 Kensington, perhaps you played his work, but it doesn't sound like you listened to it, hence your mistake about saying he voted for Obama. As for his appearances on Loveline, I'm a big fan of Adam's and have years of mp3s of that show on my hard drive, there was no such hoopla about Obama by Drew or Adam. If anything, Adam kept repeating the point that the liberals would be disappointed because Obama wouldn't change shit. Drew is pretty much a closet conservative, he would always try to dissuade abortion and push adoption on that show and Adam would always refer to Drew's non-lefty opinions that he was too scared to voice. I agree that Adam doesn't stand up to lefty guests on his show but he's a host, so he stays away from starting big political arguments with them. I wouldn't characterize the Belzer or MacFarlane appearances as ranting, you seem overly sensitive to even a few barbs. As for having Dick Martin, Republican Congressman from the great state of Ohio on, that guy's very funny and was a great podcast. Adam's not doing a "conservative podcast," he's doing a show for everyone and voices his sometimes conservative views. If you want a conservative podcast where every liberal barb is challenged, you obviously came to the wrong place.

58

"And if you want examples, just listen to any of his podcasts when he has liberal guests.  He sits there and lets douchebags like Richard Belzer and Seth MacFarlane rant on and on about rightwingers and never says a word."

Kensington, that's true. But I'd say that's because he's not especially confrontational in person. You might say that's cowardly, and perhaps it is a bit, but he's never pretended to be anything but a comedian. He had Roger Simon on the other day, and I'm sure liberal listeners were angry he didn't challenge Simon.

He's not a conservative, so I hardly expect him to be the righteous defender of "our side." But you're not going to find too many people in Hollywood willing to say outright that Saddam Hussein deserved to be killed, the death penalty is the right way to go or that all the whining about the Patriot Act ignores all the far more frequent government intrusions into our lives. Carolla does.

59

I just realized that my last post could have been written by curious.

Odd.

It's like I was channeling her or something.

60 He often lets his uber liberal guests make statements that are either outright lies or misleading. My opinion is that he lets those statements go because he's not a politician and i imagine he does not want every one of his shows to devolve into a political fight. It would be very hard for him to get guests if he were to argue with everyone of them over political issues.

He had a very good interview with Seth Mcfarlane  about 9-11 which, even though Seth is a leftist, did not devolve into an argument. FWIW Seth missed his flight the morning of 9-11, I think it was the flight that ended up crashing into one of the towers. Interesting interview.

61 sprewell, you're just wrong.  I have podcasts from the relevant time period, and they were gleeful.

62 I am curious now to hear the Roger Simon podcast.  I'll download that and give it a listen later tonight.

63 Carola.  That's a Toyota right?

65 I listen to the podcast every day. And it's not a political show. It's a Crude time passer for commuting if you think he's funny. If you don't it's just a crude boring talk show with a host that isn't super liberal. But he isn't a strong conservative or libertarian. Just not a flaming leftist.
