9.03.08 Show Discussion
Beat the Booey coming up today.
** High Pitch Mike update **
According to Artie, he was hanging out with High Pitch Mike at his party. Mike was one of the few people that was not drinking. Sounds like Artie is trying his best to avoid alcohol and stay sober. That’s a lot of will power to stand next to Mike for any length of time.

it’s amazing how Howard is so critical of Jerry Lewis (who I fucking hate) about yelling at his staff, when for the last 30 years he’s done nothing but yell at fla fla flunkie. What a fucking hypocritical dork.

ROFL@ hooker.
Nothing wrong with moobs… .unless you have your shirt off or you can’t get laid because of them…. or you can only get laid because of them… or when you hold a baby, it immediately starts drooling and making sucking noises.

Is there any doubt, after listening to Artie giggle uncontrolably when finishing the lyrics to those songs, what an complete, unabashed racist he is?
September 3rd, 2008 at 2:16 pm
Alcohol is truth serum. Just watch the Vegas blackout videos.
September 3rd, 2008 at 2:26 pm
Why does it matter that he says those things? They pay him to be edgy. Besides, I don’t know that he claims to not be a racist. Remember the game he was playing with Sal were they would pick one ethnic group (or such) and trade slurs until the other person couldn’t think of any more? They have a racist tier with Artie being in the third position (Howard below him). Daniel Carver would be on top and Sal below him. All this really does is allow everyone under Daniel Carver to say they aren’t racist but he is (like he cares what people think). They are all racist, it is just a question of how racist they are.

It matters only in the sense that you have a double standard with Sal getting nailed for the whole “You wonder why she ends up with a black kid” thing, and Artie sits there and spouts homophobic slur after homophobic slur, and nothing happens to him except his cupcake gets pulled from the bakery.
I am no fan of Sal, but that’s where I’m coming from.

Is there a difference between liking humor that could be considered racist or actually being a racist.
Myself, I have known to be an equal opportunity offender at times. Not on here. But I do enjoy all sorts of humor. I like when Jews make fun of jews, I like when Chris Rock says the n word or when Kat Williams says N_____dom. I like when white guys make fun of themselves… I’m not a racist, but i think stereotypes can be funny, assuming they arent clearly being used maliciously.
What are your thoughts?
September 3rd, 2008 at 6:15 pm
Sal is my hero.He is the funniest and honest guy there.The fact that no one has caught on to his act boggles my mind.Pure genius
September 3rd, 2008 at 8:12 pm
On the topic of racism, Sal is definitely an ignorant racist, and Artie is more of self aware racist. Sal says the things that are on his mind, that he shouldn’t say. Artie NEVER says exactly how he feels, but drops major hints.
These guys, while they do not represent every Italian-American, are very much like the Italian Americans I grew up with in urban Jersey City (not unlike other IA’s in the tri state). Their fathers, uncles, mothers, ancestors all raised them warning them about the dirty stupid “mouli-yons”. And they all hung out with other kids whose parents taught them the same ignorant racist views.
I know because I went through my entire youth with these idiots. And these idiots grew up to be people like Sal and Artie.

its certainly hypocritical about what is going on but the thing about sals side is that everyone is busting his balls and he just digs himself into a deeper hole. its funny because sal is so ignorant. the problem with arties side is their is actual bitterness towards homosexuals. it gets real passive aggressive when he always says hes kidding and using sarcasm about it.
September 4th, 2008 at 7:47 am
Tata Toofy hit the nail on the head in terms of Artie never really being honest about how he feels, just dropping major hints. I don’t think they’re idiots though, even Sal. I just don’t think they have really made an effort to form their own opinions about things.
It’s almost like they’re happy with being their stereotypes. Artie is always at pains to be the one to point out how he is a typical “Jersey Jerk-off”. He must be happy being a typical “Jersey Jerk-off” because he never seems to want to be any better.
He always says he was horrible at school yet he has amazing recall for references and he just seems smarter than he allows himself to be represented as.
September 4th, 2008 at 7:58 am
Or even when he says he is being honest… ie heroin, he isnt.
