    Watching games in Southeast Asia- best options?

    I did the YouTube TV/VPN thing for a couple of years from my home in Israel.  Not only is it too expensive, but YT actively blocks VPN traffic so you need to stay one step ahead of them and use a VPN server that they haven't discovered yet.  A pain in the butt.

     

    Gamepass (now on DAZN) is the only reliable solution.

    Lol, I suggest you go re-watch his "Weapons of Self Destruction" special and see how that statement holds up.

    Watch his portrayal of the drunk Scot who invented golf.

     

    Not all talk of sex is vulgar.  A true artist like Robin Wms can get the balance right.

     

    Talking about someone's ex-wife's sex life, and using the F word in its original meaning as a verb, requires some absence of decency.

    Im guessing you have never watched Richard Pryor, Eddie Murphy, Robin Williams, George Carlin, Rodney Dangerfield, and every other great comic that came long before PG Seinfeld who had edgy and vulgar comedy.  
     

    Although since that’s your style of comedy I would recommend Nate Bargatze who is a hilarious comic and clean.  He’s got amazing specials on Netflix and one on Amazon.

    All those guys you mentioned were creative and clever and thoughtful, so the vulgarity was just a part of the act. These guys say the F word and expect the laughs to rain down.  Effing lazy of them.

     

    George Carlin used to say things like "Ever wonder why you park in the driveway but you drive on the parkway?" Now that's clever and funny.

     

    Eddie Murphy is a genius and he created characters that live on in our memories and still bring a smile.

     

    Robin Williams was not vulgar, nor was Rodney Dangerfield.

    Funny…first line is that this old cranky radio host (who makes a living being controversial and saying dumb things) is “in the minority” of not liking what most think is one of the best roasts of all time.  Then I see it’s a Fox News article and of course it makes even more sense.  
     

    I get comedy varies for everyone by taste, and some may not love this roast.  But I honestly can’t fathom how someone could be so grumpy that they could categorize that roast as “unwatchable”.  


     

    It used to be that comedy, in order to induce a laugh, had to be thoughtful and clever.  Seinfeld was the last of this type. Nowadays you just need to mention "Giselle" and the F word.  It got very old very fast.  Our culture has deteriorated.
