This Hamburglar fella...

The "act" isn't particularly funny. Essentially i think you can only laugh as an outsider observing others being wound up who are under the impression it's a genuine act. It's just modern day kaufman isn't it?

I have to say on first watching man on the moon i decided AK was the least funny guy ever and not worth a mention. Then i realised Taxi was MASSIVE in the US and his standup stuff was just a series of windups that played on his "fame". I then thought, "He was brave." Not, 'he was hilarious'. It's mildy amusing that he wanted to spend his time upsetting people but that's about all.

This NH fella isn't even as innovative at that; he just purposely tells rubbish and offensive jokes and dresses it up as irony because he's not any of your ist's, ism's or ic's.

I did find the Elton John one quite funny as i imagined that Elton would love the compliment were he present.
