As most of you probably know already, is that Joel McHale's stand up bit was probably the most controversial at the WHCD. All in all did you enjoy his bit and did you think it was funny?

If you havent seen it, here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=idrrdgjETxY
 
He was "meh". I stopped watching after 8 min.

The reality is, comedians put in his position don't have a lot to work on. I mean I doubt he and the rest of his peers, the clowns from holywood, are really following the news with a great interest and mastering the intricacies of governmental affairs. So he has limited material to work with and he has to kinda know how to deliver. because as a man in that position, he either makes fun of the president or he makes fun of other politicians that made the headlines but he has to remember they are not his peers. So yeah.... cheap humor, not that interesting.

Obama on the other hand was funny. He can afford to make self-deprecating jokes and make fun of other politicians and political parties because he's like, in that world. So he has a lot more to work with.
 
About Chelsea Clinton being pregnant, asking if when the baby is born, do you give Clinton a cigar...I laughed hard at that. The rest was hit or miss. Not great, not terrible, not really memorable.

His line "my slogan for 2013, ctr-alt-delete" cracked me up.
 
I thought it was hilarious! He was perfectly my type of humor. He didnt give a **** if people laughed or not. I thought it was awesome. I personally thought the end was the best followed up by the early Guantanamo joke. All in all, I watched it live, I thought he was the best.
 
Obama: "Speaking of Rand Paul, Colorado legalized marijuana for recreational use..."
