WHAT??? I'd love to go. off the top of your head, do where can you get tickets?
Bob Saget sucks.
Ok. We all thought he was funny the first time we saw his standup. Everyone was like "hey theres that Full House guy swearing and stuff".
However 10 years later its the exact same routine. Oooh an Olsen twins joke. How unexpected. Yawn.
Good comedians are ones that have a constantly changing routine.
Bob Saget is not one of them.
Comparing him to Carlin is a complete insult to George.
I saw Bob a few years ago at Yuk Yuks and he was hilarious. Lst time he was here, he was terrible. I mean, you can only carry a joke about fucking animals so far. A whole night's worth of it was awful. It's like he didn't have any material, and he just got up there and thought swearing and making sex jokes would carry his routine. And yeah, enough with the Olsen twins jokes.
Excellent summary haha.Originally posted by sputnik

He is pretty funny on entourage though, but that's usually because his "routine" lasts 5 mins.

I'm putting him above other comedians out there though.
EDIT: and tickets are sold right at the Epcor centre.
IIRC, his part of The Aristocrats was pretty funny, too (for the same "holy cow that's the 'Full House' guy talking like that" reason)Originally posted by rage2

worst part is definitely when the dudes smacking it with his dick like that inside out anus owes his dick some money.
Enjoy Bob Seger!
A Ferrari is a high maintenance chick, you spend money regardless of what you do with her. You can baby the C63, or slap on all seasons, and you won't be spending anything but yearly maintenance. Of course that's like dating a stripper and refusing to fuck her, which would make you gay.

I saw him last time he was here... the act was definitely a little old by the end of the night. One thing I'll give him props for was the audience participation part... the shit he improv'd with the audience was really funny.
The most expensive tickets (being sold directly from the epcor centre) are 70 ea i think (69.00)Originally posted by chkolny541

my tickets were 59/ea...
And are pretty damn good seats (first row, first balcony)
I got tickets because I want to see Bob Saget.
Then I realized... hey, wait a minute... didn't I see Saget a couple of years ago when he came through Calgary? ... ... ... Fuck! Turns out I did. Guess he wasn't that memorable.
I hope he has some new material.
saw his entire stand up show on TV a while back. Didn't laugh once. All I can remember is swearing. Nothing actually funny though. Carlin was a god, I mean, I don’t even know what to say comparing him to Saget…

We're not comparing him to Saget at all here.
As far as im concerned, no one will beat George Carlin. Ever.
AND
As far as im concerned, Saget is pretty damn funny too (i did find his HBO special pretty gold); thus, i went and bought tickets.
...Its like saying "I like coffee, and i enjoy riding bikes"
am i comparing bikes to coffee? No.
All im saying is i like them both.
(In my original post, i even made a directional statement, that i like one more than the other)
I don't know how someone can say they like Saget AND Carlin and not be accused of making a comparison.
It would be like if I said I liked hot blondes with tight bodies and big tits but also loved fat chicks with scaly skin, bad breath, herpes and head lice.
I saw him a couple of yrs back and I thought he was terrible. Didn't laugh once during his act. I saw Russel Peters and though he was way better then saget. I don't get the appeal
I used to have hugggeee respect for Peters, i even bought his black brown and purple (or whatever its called) first day it came out, then gave it to a friend the next day after i watched it. Didn't find it funny at all (not because im offended or anything, but just becuase it wasnt funny.. weve all heard hellen keller jokes before).Originally posted by superflychief

Still love his old stuff though.
Saget, talks about f-ing a turtle on his dvd. Come on... If you dont find that funny in a stupid way, thats fucked up.
On a continuum id say
1. Carlin
2. Crosby
3. Saget
4. R. Williams

By Crosby do you mean Bill Cosby? Since that list includes the dead, there are definitely more than 100 comedians funnier than Bob Saget. He's crude for the sake of crude, with some full house jokes thrown in. Having sex with Kimmy Gibbler is only funny for so long.
I'm with you on Russell Peters though. Saw him in 2009, and after seeing Seinfeld in town a week earlier, it ruined seeing Russell. I laughed out loud a few times at Russell Peters, but I hurt coming out of Seinfeld.
I read “next George Carlin” instead of Next to…. My mistake. But you did in a way compare him by stating that he's the next best thing to him. Which anyway to slice it, is pretty ridiculous.Originally posted by swak

But that i know of, in my era, im not aware of any other real big comedians that are amazing out there.
