Seen all of Stanhope's material and just about every comedian ever on tv. He isn't funny.
Comedians:

these men are gods, they make laughs come out of my body until I hurt.
Stanhope is a bum, and flop sweats so hard I feel embarrassed all the way from my living room.

All good comedians, although about as mainstream as they get. If you hate Stanhope as much as you claim to I find it hard to imagine you sitting there and unbiasedly watching a 1 hour Stanhope special or something just so you can be sure you don't like him. I'd be willing to bet you've probably seen less than 1 hour combined of Stanhope material and what little you did you already had negative preconceptions for whatever reason.

It's like when with me and several of my friends will get in to a music discussion and Tool will come up, and I will mention how Tool fucking rules (cause they do) and some people will just be like Tool sucks or I hate Tool, all Tool fans are goth kids that walk around the mall and shop at hot topic, because they heard "The Pot" and "Vicarious" a few times on the radio before, but they are sooo sure a band with a massive cache of epic songs they've never even taken the time to hear before. All of a sudden they are fucking experts with next to no frame of reference.

Seems like a similar mentality here. Like I said, if you really believe that than list some specific reasons why he isn't funny while citing examples of his poor performance from actual content you've seen. It probably won't be easy because I'm guessing you've seen /heard next to none of it, but want to be the comedy expert here. If you've seen "all of his material" on "TV" (most of his shit would never be seen other than on HBO/cinmax specials), in fact I've seen very little of him on TV and torrented most of his specials and watched individual youTube clips. Smells like bullshit brah..

they are obviously above your level of sophistication, you're just one of those people who can't actually connect with the actual content of what Tool embodies.

Owned all the albums when I was like 12 years old as they were each released, along with the rest of my preteen nu-metal cds and tape such as korn, deftones and the like.
I simply grew out of it by maybe age 15-16 and moved on to bigger better bands...... like the ones you slandered by dragging them into the gutter with the likes of tool.

Until you have you literally haven't actually "heard" Tool, if it wasn't dead on here right now I'm sure plenty of people would be here to testify to that.

It's just tool, they play bad music.

So you stopped listening to Tool at 15-16? Were you taking heady psychedelics from the time you were 12-16? The funny thing is until I was about 15-16 and started experimenting with mushrooms I didn't like Tool at all, and can even remember on more than one occasion telling people Tool sucks, like I was some fucking expert after hearing a few songs on the radio before. Once again, unless you've experienced Tool while tripping you aren't capable of getting the message, they literally structure their albums to correlate to the psychedelic experience, I simply didn't get it until after my mind was "opened". It was literally like an "OHHHHH... I GET IT!" type of moment really. The only reason I even gave them another chance is because a psychonaut friend of mine who at the time was much more experienced and knowledgeable than I was loved them and I respected him and his intelligence very much and wanted to try and listen again and see if I could understand why he was so crazy about it when I was so "sure" they sucked.

I'm glad you liked them when you were a dorky middle schooler and associate them with that time in your life and that mind frame. At those ages you hardly even had the mental capacity to truly understand and appreciate a band like Tool and probably didn't even have the slightest clue what their music really stood for.

Are there some fans of Tool who have never tripped or even smoked weed? Yes, and typically these are the faggy mall goth kids that I would rather not be affiliated with through my love of the band. Were you even smoking weed by 12-16? Lol..

Who's fucked up? I'm having a bratwurst and explaining why tool is an awful band, and why hendrix, cream, and floyd should NEVER be compared to cliche nu-metal.

I tripped out and listened to tool in high school on more than a few occasions and on more than a few substances, it was high school and for a time me and my friends liked them. I smoked weed before I even heard of tool, and by the time I was tripping and exploring weird music (age 14) tool was clearly not for me, so instead I listened to good music like:
Floyd
Beatles
Zeppelin
Floyd
Neil
Frank
Dylan
Floyd
Beatles
ZZtop
Doc Watson
Pink Floyd
I even dig newer psychedelic rock like:
Wilco
Flaming Lips
RadioHead
Queens of the Stone age

tool blows, a week ago I found all my old tool cds in a case, then I listened to half of lateralas? anyway I turned it off half way through and listened to a clash album.
I still to this day get stuck in rooms or cars with tool fans and have to hear the same "tool rules" rap, everytime I come close to slapping the shit out of them so I can get out of having this very arugment.

Lol Radiohead and ZZtop as better bands than Tool. Radiohead is fucking GARBAGE. It's all beggening to add up..

If you gave up on Tool at 14 chances are you weren't even yet at a mental capacity to fully appreciate them. I'm sure you were an expert back then too with plenty of heady trips under your belt. Go listen to a Radiohead album while masturbating to tranny porn using your own tears as lubrication from getting all emo from the Radiohead songs.

You have to be 17 years old and not a day older.
I probably took more shrooms and weird shit in high school then you'll see in your entire life. Radiohead is decent, you're a child.

Right. I'm 22. You're the dipshit who just told me:

At 14 you're in 9th grade. I don't give a fuck how much shit you took during the rest of HS, you just told me by 14 you realized you don't like them. Radiohead is awful. Way to be the stereotypical knowitall douchebag who is suddenly an expert on anything at any given moment. I see them all too often.
