How far has Andrew 'Dice' Clay fallen? (1 Viewer)

He's lucky to have any gig at all.

Dude was a legend in his time. When I first saw him on Rodney Dangerfield's young comedian's special on HBO, I had never laughed so hard in my life. There was no comedian like him. Filthy as you could ever imagine, yet hilarious.

But as Lisa Lampanelli said, "I can't believe nursery rhymes have a shelf life!"

 
Made more than a lot of people make in a year for 10 minutes in a recording booth. Not sure what the problem is.

 
I saw him in Vegas two years ago, he got :own3d: badly by a heckler. Then his gf or wife or whatever fell over drunk on all the Dice merchandise, it was awesome. He forgot a couple of his punchlines but the :tfp: value alone was worth the price of admission. I'm shocked he's not dead.

Did you catch his reality show about 7 or 8 years ago? VH1, maybe? It was pretty sad. He was old, bloated and generally unhappy.

No but get this, the first 20 minutes of the comedy show was the highlights of that show. :lmao:

Some older gold-jeweled Italian gentlemen sitting next to me were none too pleased about that curveball. So awesome.

 
I think he is a great guy, a very smart man. He has come a long way in his career and set a lot of precedents in the industry. He is a down to earth dude. But he plays a character on stage that a lot of people confuse him with in real life. The guy is solid and I admire him a lot.

 
The randomness of Andrew Dice Clay as the father figure who is also a hamster is so random that it is funny. We need more abstract thinking like that. I usually don't like advertisements, but that one is so far out I'm cool with it.

:kicksrock:

It's like you don't even read my posts.

 
I saw him live. I expected it to be great, but it was really the same stuff that I had seen on Diceman Cometh. I mean the exact same jokes. Disappointing.

The other thing is once he did that special for the ladies, the PC police had gotten to him and it was over.

Saw him too back in college in 1989. We loved it at the time, but definitely a one-trick pony.

Wait.... he's a hamster?

 
I just found out he's Jewish last year.

It doesn't matter to me but I've always thought he was Italian (for obvious reasons).

 
Just watched one of the clips above, man was he non-PC. I had almost forgotten how outrageous it was.

Stuff like Dice and All In The Family we can't even watch anymore because we can't laugh at ourselves anymore. Kind of sad.

Not as far as Yakov Smirnof or Gallagher.

Yakov was on WTF ahwile back. He's spent the last 20 years performing for about 2,000 people/night, 5 times a week (over 4 million total), bought his own theater, earned a masters and teaches at colleges, etc. Compare that to Dice's last 20 years and he would wish he'd "fallen" as far as Yakov (the two are friends and were roommates when starting in comedy, btw.)
