Two words Denis! Merry F-ing Birthday!
Thumbs up to one of the few Massholes I can stand. It’s funny when he does his angry Bostonian routine because it isn’t directed at me and he doesn’t have the thick, obnoxious accent; probably “cured” with acting classes. Unlike other schtick comics, Denis managed to evolve beyond the vitriolic character on MTV that launched his career and does cartoon voices, charity work with the Cam Neely Foundation and an ongoing series on FX. It’s also weird to learn he’s Conan O’Brien’s cousin. Some forms of humor don’t cross over genetically as they did with my Uncle Skip.
I think my favorite appearance has always been the ladybug Francis in A Bug’s Life which I still can’t pin down the gender on. Meanwhile, I will probably play his hit song “Asshole,” the unofficial anthem we Marquette Warriors sing about the Notre Dame Irish.
