We put a visiting comic on the hot seat. This week’s victim . . .

Finish the following sentence: I was unable to attend my court-mandated anger-management class because . . .
I was busy throwing a temper tantrum over the fact that I have to go to anger management.
Talk to me as though I’m stupid.
Is that the question?My answer to that question is, “Yes.” “Talk to me as though I’m stupid” — that’s not even a question. You’re changing the rules.
What's so funny about peace, love, and understanding?There’s gotta be something.
Well, peace, love, and understanding as acted out by human beings is going to be funny. People are funny. They’re fucked up. We’re a mess as a species, so everything we do is funny.
Tell me why Andy Dick would be more qualified to be John MCcain’s running mate than Sarah Palin.
Andy Dick would probably fuck up less and probably not be there for meetings, so he wouldn’t be saying anything stupid. No, I’ll give you a good answer. As far as I know, he doesn’t have any pregnant children. He would just be entertaining. I’ve always wanted to do a show called Arrest Andy Dick, where regular people try to get Andy Dick arrested.
If the night time is the right time, when is the wrong time to be with the one you love?
When you’re on your period, when you’re easily annoyed, when you’re sick. Pick whichever one you like. These really are the dumbest questions ever.
