The commercials...
I haven't laughed at one commercial yet. This is supposed to be funny right?
"You are a smelly pirate hooker!"
"Why don't you go back to your home on Whore Island?"
Yeah I think the lure is in how much you like either Billy Crystal or Josh Gad. I just watched it I didn't think it was that funny but I'm a huge Josh Gad fan so I'll watch.

I used to get Billy Crystal mixed up with Garry Shandling. And the MadTV chick mixed up with Willem Dafoe... lol
shareHaha that is awesome. Shandling has more teeth and less money then Billy Crystal but outside of that they are pretty much the same person. I don't care for either of them. It seems like any Jew that wanted to be famous in the 70's had it made.
shareIs The Comedians going to be a highlight of Billy Crystal’s career? Maybe not; but for those like steffeeric who might be too young to have been around when Billy Crystal’s comedy career began, having known many people who attended the event that jump started his career in January 1975 (http://espn.go.com/page2/s/schaap/010227.html), I can say that he most definitely did NOT “become famous because he is a Jew with a catchy name whose father was big in showbiz in NYC and people felt bad for Billy when his dad died of a heart attack.”
From 1977-1981, Billy Crystal appeared on what then was a very popular ABC comedy called Soap. It was a spoof on daytime TV soap operas and featured Crystal as an openly gay character, something that was extremely unusual for those times, but it was groundbreaking. It might not be among the greatest TV comedies of all time, but it led to enhancing Crystal’s stand-up comedy career and his also having a career in films.
Ever see The Princess Bride? Ever hear anyone say, “Have fun storming the castle” or “”There’s a big difference between mostly dead and all dead” or “True love is the greatest thing in the world, except for nice MLT” or “Think it’ll work? It would take a miracle.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D9tAKLTktY0
Ever see When Harry Met Sally or City Slickers or Analyze This or Monsters University or Frankie and Willie on Saturday Night Live? https://screen.yahoo.com/know-hate-night-watchmen-000000299.html
Billy Crystal may not rank among the greatest comedians of all time, and there most likely are many like steffeeric who don't get his humor, but he has enjoyed a fairly good career. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000345/
If it is what it is, what is it?
Thank you. Even though I don't identify as a Jew, I was patently shocked and offended at these comments.
And more offended that people didn't know Crystal either from Soap, movies, or his fantastic standup with his incredible impressions.
You would think SOMEONE would have suggested a YouTube video?
Maybe Comic Relief? that strike a bell?

There are many reasons to dislike this show. Most of them named Gad.
You may not like Billy Crystal.
But there is no excuse for not having HEARD of him.
If you were offended by me calling a Jew a Jew you certainly won't like what I have to say next. Oprah and Obama are black....OHHHHHHHHHHHHH! I am pushing the envelope so hard right now.
I am well aware of who Billy Crystal is...I just have no idea why he is famous. I put him in the Jeff Dunham and Gabriel Iglesias level of awful comedians. Dane Cook looks like George Carlin next to Crystal.
I have seen Analyze That, Analyze This, My Giant, City Slickers, City Slickers II, When Harry Met Sally, Throw Momma from the Train, and The Princess Bride...and pretty much despised all of them. I am going to blame the unfunny Crystal but maybe it is just a coincidence.
I guess I shouldn't be surprised that people like him because the majority of people have awful taste. I will try not to use anymore hard J's...wouldn't want you to be patently shocked again...also that phrase makes no sense.
P.S. I don't need moral guidance from a sexual deviant.
"If you were offended by me calling a Jew a Jew"
Nope. Reread what you wrote.
"No not really...I just like saying the word Jew...and it is no secret they own the entertainment industry."
THAT is what I found offensive!
