Nextmanup Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 RIP Super Dave! Dude was hilarious; he had that deadpan comedic thing down to a science. He's probably the best I've ever seen with that style. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watching those on broadcast TV, half the fun was the VW bug horn that would censor out the cursing. Super Dave in pain, yelling “Holy crap”, but us watching WUTV hearing “Holy BEEP BEEP”. The CN Tower cancelled jump was a good one. Only Wile E. Coyote took more physical abuse than Super Dave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Fischer Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 He made me laugh every moment he was on the screen. Movies, TV, interviews, anything. The king of the long gag. The joke was even more funny when you knew where it was going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some were even saying Olivia Newton John had died after reports said she had weeks to live. She wasnt 76 though and released a video saying she was still alive.

Bob's jokes were perfectly horrible and tasteless and funny The abuse of the sidekick gets worse and worse with Norm, Gilbert G won that hands down. Great show to listen to, he left then came back to promote his book, then left, keep waiting for Norm to get going again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

row_33 Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 (edited) His other great podcast was ripping in Gilbert Gottfired’s sidekick, in a different way. And Bob had the best Redd Foxx anecdotes from writing on his TV show. Hopefully BamBam makes an appearance in the next season of Curb Edited January 6, 2019 by row_33 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
