Actually, that Hamburger act show that he is a bigot and a homophobe
Did you even bother to watch it? The point I realised that he was terminally unfunny was when he said "What do you get if you cross Sir Elton John with a sabre toothed tiger? I don't know, but you'd better keep it away from your ass."
Oh ha f**king ha. How very cutting edge. How brilliant. Do you get it? Nudge nudge - that Sir Elton John - HE'S A POOF YOU KNOW. THEY LIKE BUM-SEX. THEY WANT TO GET UP YOUR BUM. ISN'T THAT HILARIOUS? LET'S ALL LAUGH AT POOFTERS.
How - well, as you put it, how very Carry On Gay Bashing. That is pure Bernard Manning in an American accent. Why the f**k are you holding this man up as a comedy god? He's a dinosaur.
And as for the first "gag" (Why did the farmer start a punk rock band? Because he was tired of hauling oats), not even an American audience laughed. Not bigoted - just not funny.
