Last Laugh '07 started off with a pretty tasteless cartoon open that touched on the following subjects....
-Senator Larry Craig
-The iPhone
-Don Imus
-George W. Bush
-George W. Bush wiping his ass with the Bill of Rights
-Dick Cheney
-Osama Bin Laden
-The Soprano's Finale
-David Hasselhoff
The whole open centered around "what's up the president's ass". It was all just one huge gross poop joke. Now, I like poop jokes as much as the next guy, but this was just bad.
Lewis Black did a little opening bit, mostly about the president. He did talk about the disabled veterans not getting their checks, which is were you get the "I can download 13 million vagina's in a minute, but they can't get their checks" joke from the promo.
Cue first commercial break.
The online pole question, "Who is the biggest failure of 2007" was posted by Lewis Black. The choices - Britney Spears, Michael Vick, President Bush, and the Soprano's Finale. My vote? All of the above.
Dave Attell was up next. His subjects of choice were the following:
-Getting older
-Dog the Bounty Hunter saying the N-word
-Michael Vick
-Al Gore receiving the Nobel Prize
-Vanessa Hudgens nude photo
After that, he went into his usual gross stuff, talking about porn and such.
I like Dave Attell. Insomniac used to be one of my favorite shows. He did have a funny moment here and there, but nothing you'll want to quote around the water cooler. This time around, he wasn't really that funny.
Cue second commercial break.
DL Hughley was up next with.....
-How much white people love dogs
-OJ Simpson
-Barry Bonds
-Chinese imports
-the N-word
-Isiah Thomas
-the Presidential race
-Alec Baldwin
-How kids are soft and weak these days
-Teachers having sex with kids
-Star Jones having gastric bypass surgery
Holy crap did he run through a lot of material. It was hard to keep up with how fast he talked. Again...nothing that funny.
Cue third commercial break.
And now, the man I was waiting for...Lewis Black...
-Global warming
-Scooter Libby
-Alberto Gonzales
-Senator Larry Craig
-Michael Vick
-OJ Simpson
They broke up his set with the fourth commercial break.
Aaaaaaand....we're back with more Lewis Black...
-The 2008 Elections, where he said we should vote for Santa
-We need one headline on the front page of the newspaper that makes you "laugh until coffee shoots out of your nose". A headline like "Hippo eats Dwarf".
Lewis Black then dedicated the show to the men and women of the armed forces in an unusual serious moment.
Fifth commercial break...
And the biggest failure was.....George W. Bush. Big surprise.
Back from break, they had podiums set up for a question and answer session. I didn't even bother writing down the questions because most of them were stupid and the answers were not funny.
I'm very disappointed in this year's Last Laugh. Previous years have been really funny, but this year was just awkward. Dave Attell was the drunk perverted guy, D.L. Hughley was the rich black guy who thinks he's still in the hood, and Lewis Black was the angry smart guy. Lewis Black was the the only person that actually made me laugh was Lewis Black. But then again, he could read the phone book and make me laugh.
Overall, the show isn't worth watching.
See you next year!

FDH Lounge Show #16: September 16, 2007
By Rick Morris
The 16th edition of THE FDH LOUNGE on SportsTalkCleveland.com (8-11 PM EDT) will have a great variety of talk on a number of issues, befitting the show "where nothing is off-topic."
In Hour One, immediately following the Dignitaries' Opening Statements, we will examine this week's "Morris Report" about the Iraq War. This was an Iraq War FAQ segment posted on The FDH Lounge blog, attempting to break down the war from top to bottom in a manner that most people can understand even if they do not agree with all of it. I will read it in full and then have a roundtable discussion with my fellow Dignitaries, leading to an up-or-down vote to endorse it at the end.
This discussion will stretch into Hour Two, at which point we will move onto The FDH Lounge News Nuggets: Britney's latest struggles, Kid Rock levels Tommy Lee (with an interesting aside about the woman they fought over, Plastic Pam), the Oregon-Houston mascot fight and OJ decides to take up less violent crime.
In Hour Three, we will have The FDH Lounge Movie Spotlight and then The FDH Lounge Pigskin Report as we reflect on a mammoth weekend of college and pro football action.
Join us for another great installment of the show Sunday night! You can listen quietly at home, or call us at (216) 881-9600 or (866) 453-4782 or email us at studio@sportstalkcleveland.com .

Vick's going to snitch: I LOVE IT!
By Rick Morris
It's always insanely delicious when a blatantly guilty person is defended by hateful people purely because of the color of his skin -- and when that individual then inevitably lets his defenders down (i.e. O.J.'s acquittal being celebrated in many quarters after he played the race card at trial, only to see him turn around and resume his self-centered golfing/life of leisure lifestyle as though he had never even pretended to care about black people in the first place). The latest celebrity to hand his supporters a revolting karma sandwich is Michael Vick, who will be singing like a canary to the Feds.
First, Vick was proclaimed "innocent until proven guilty" by these bigots (listen to the Al Sharpton radio program for one day and hear the mindset being described here). Then, inevitably, when he cut his plea bargain, the "what did he really do wrong?" card was thrown down by people who would justify any crime because of the pigmentation of Vick's flesh. Now, to further save his pathetic skin, Vick is cooperating fully with federal prosecutors to go after dogfighting rings nationwide. While I personally am happy that Vick is at long last performing a public service, even though it is under supreme duress, I'm more thrilled that he's letting down the despicable supporters that he has gained. The people who have defended him throughout are the same ones to decry any form of "snitching" -- no matter that so-called "snitching" cleans up poor areas and allows the vast, vast majority of the non-criminals living there to live safer lives with predatory vermin sent to prison. So to all of the racists who think Vick should get a free pass to slaughter animals because of the color of his skin and who are now feeling betrayed by his decision to "snitch," allow me to give you a large Nelson Muntz "HA HA!"
