The Ultimate Larry Craig Interview

Last week, Super Dave Osborne conducted the ultimate interview with nosferatu Sen. Larry Craig (R-Idaho) and his wife for the Jimmy Kimmel show. In the best John Stossel manque fashion, Osborne "cuts the crap" and asks the questions American voters want to hear answered, especially the one about whether Craig hawked his wife's body parts on eBay.

It's two minutes that you won't be ashamed of afterwards. Check it out at Reason.tv now.

Craig is yesterday's gossip. When will you be getting to David Copperfield?

Super Dave without a stupid stunt that goes horribly wrong? I don't like this one bit.

Was that supposed to be funny and/or entertaining? It failed miserably as far as I'm concerned.

Dave's show is destined to last less than one of his segments if that is the best he can do. The cut-and-paste interview format has been done much better, by better people, with voices that do not cast me into an epileptic fit a-la Cosmo Kramer.

Dave Osborn is probably one of the funniest, most underrated actors out there right now. See Arrested Development and Curb Your Enthusiasm for proof.

I thought noferatus sucked blood?

Mostly lame, but nice to hear, "I hope you go to jail for life."

Until that line, I though I had thrown away two minutes of my life. Instead, it was 1:58.

Daily show ripoff

Underrated why? I loved Curb, but this is not comedy of the same caliber.

"Quite a penis on that boy, Hugh.."

It's always great to see Super Dave. Hilarious.

I used to like Super Dave way back in the day, but this was very unfunny.

I sort of wonder why super Dave wants Craige to go to jail for life...but I really want to know why reason TV does.

I wonder why joshua corning can't figure out Super Dave's brand of extra dry humor.

Brian24 | October 22, 2007, 7:06pm | #

I was expecting that to be funny. Instead it's just another fake interview. Yawn.

I agree with Josh. highnumber, why is it funny to say "Hope you go to jail for life?"

I won't explain it to you, as dissecting humor is like dissecting a cat. You may learn something, but you lose what you had.

I will tell you that the more that other people don't think it's funny, the funnier it gets. Tell me what else you didn't find entertaining about it. Are there any parts that offended you?

I found it kinda funny but the I hope you go to jail for life. was just ugly. The anti-libertarian sentiment offended me.

For funny guys with big egos, I vastly prefer Space Ghost:
