It's a great show! Now examine his work since that high point. And I will argue to my dying day that show was great because of Rip Torn, despite Jeffrey Tambor, and I am just barely to the good side on Shandling himself.
Hank Kingsley is pretty much the greatest tv character of all time. If anyone deserves to walk around like "made men" it's the firm of Shandling, Torn and Tambor.
Also, what has Shandling even done that's so terrible in the last nine years? A couple of forgettable movies? At least he didn't shove them down America's throat.

Shandling was very funny earlier this year on Home Box Office's Real Time with Bill Maher.

I can't view youtube videos at work, but I'm going to assume this is the prank call clip in which Haverchuck calls Coach Biff a Butt Patter and directs him to go sniff a jock strap.

It's the sequence where Bill comes home from school and makes himself a grilled cheese sandwich and laughs hysterically (with a mouthful of said sandwich) at Garry Shandling's stand-up comedy before his mom comes home from work.
Wait... whuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut? Dave put Jeffrey Tambor in the hate pit? I was still reeling from the fact that you put Rod Stewart in the hate pit! Have you seen a little show called Arrested Development? Jeffrey Tambor is delightful, especially as the evil twin! You're nuts, Dave.

I'm sure Lou got the proper papers to go to the Pit also, and is not bringing leprosy. The saddest part about Lou is that he is one of the few people in the mainstream media bringing up issues that concerns the working class (like a lack of real representation in Congress), but just to co-opt the ideas and concerns and than varnish it with a thick coat of racism and idiocy.
Fair enough. I have no say in anyone's hate pit but my own.Gregory, why is the flying tomato in your hate pit?
I've disliked him since he was 14. That kid is so into himself, and watching him in interviews makes me cringe. He's got that stupid hair that he can't cut now because it's his thing. He aggravates me and it's kind of hard to explain why. Into the pit he goes

my hate pit is populated with the FOT, because you're all so common.
b) c-list celebrity guests
I do believe it's possible to reform this phone-criminal.
I'm sure Tom believes so as well, as he is giving her a chance, much in the vein of Larry the Perv, The Leader, early Petey, and M.C. Steinberg. Some of these cases are more successful than others, as we all know.
holy shit, what a dink.
I do not think all FOTs are common. Some of them are very interesting. I don't want to hurt anyone's street cred by saying who I think is cool, but if you are worried about being one of them, then you probably aren't. Any FOT that is offended by the idea of being common is probably the most common kind of person. Not common as it relates to a high frequency of similar people, but common in the low kind of way.
also, how common of you to follow up a 6 paragraph post with this quote.Then I'll be boring and say that I think Andy is as uncommon as Matt.
"The best way to be boring is to say everything." Voltaire
In general, FOTs are common. I would say that 96% of the entire population of all people is common. And so that gives an FOT a 4% chance to be uncommon. However, if an FOT is uncommon, there is a 50% chance that the FOT is uncommon in a way that I'm sure no FOT would want to be uncommon. Sure, you are all geniuses. Give me a break.
Of course, that's assuming that FOTs are representative of all people, which they aren't. I would hypothesize that FOTs are average or slightly above average, on average. I, however, find average and slightly above average to be common. That's because I am most of the time only exposed to average and slighly above average people. I rarely am around super above average and uncommon people. Nothing is wrong with being common. Most everyone you ever meet is average. That's okay. Just be yourself.
And try to have your own opinions and put them into your own words, rather than barfing up what you heard Tom say on the radio to/about me. It is funny when Tom says what he says, but it makes me sad that such an uncommon person can't even rephrase someone else's thoughts. I think you are jealous because Tom takes my calls and you are so much more interesting, which is the only reason I can think of to explain this insane obsession with me. But then I wonder, why should one try to rephrase anything when one is just saying the same thing that's been said for thousands of years? Maybe it isn't jealous robot syndrome. Maybe you've just given up?
Tom is above average in being funny. I expected FOTs to be a collection of watered down versions of Tom, at least with respect to funniness and having an interesting world view. I never said I wasn't common. Of course I'm common! I go out of my way to be more average than I really am. However, being thrown into an common hate pit is so very dull! It would be much more interesting to be thrown into Tom's REAL Hate Pit, although it would crush my stone heart into a million tiny pieces.
I do not think all FOTs are common. Some of them are very interesting. I don't want to hurt anyone's street cred by saying who I think is cool, but if you are worried about being one of them, then you probably aren't.

I personally like Henry. I think he puts together good shows, puts out good products, and runs a website that is amusing at worst. AND, regardless of what you think of him, he has the balls to put himself out there. "todd" may not be a bad dude, but it's really easy to lob those bombs under an assumed moniker in a forum in which you're not yet known.
If lobbing bombs is your thing, go for it. Seriously, I don't begrudge you that. I'm just saying that it's a lot easier to do that behind the shield of this forum than to call in or to let yourself be known, two things Henry isn't afraid to do.
Through some mutual friends, I had arranged to hang out with Brady's crew for what promised to be a laid-back celebration in somebody's hotel room, probably no more than 15-20 people since Brady's circle is surprisingly and refreshingly small. . . .

Oh, that's a good one. Bill Simmons is terrible. Boston this, Boston that. Shut up already. I didn't even mind Boston teams that much before I started reading his crap every week in ESPN the Magazine. He's also part of that new (well kind of new) breed of sportscasters and sportswriters who are your typical frat boy but have a soft spot for the feel good story and can say they shed a tear when some major sports event took place. I hate those guys. I like my sports writing and broadcasting to be hard-nosed and based on statistics and don't give a crap about some douchebag's emotions!

"Take your scissors and go back to Colorado." -- Tom on pot-smoking Republicans Matt Stone and Trey Parker, 3/14/06 (http://www.recidivism.org/2006/03/something_flipfloppy_this_way.html)Its too bad its unavailable to listen to the first part of that show...
Also, you know who I hate? Matt and Trey, the South Park guys.

I agree with this 10000%.

Ha! Yeah, it wasn't really that bad. Just more bad-taste-in-my-mouth style. To make it up to him I got drunk while having dinner with him, his wife, and some mutual friends and berated him for a half hour and now we don't hang out anymore.

Sounds like he's tailor made for an ex-relativefriend thread.
Wow! I actually put Julie from Cincinnati down on this thread TWICE and deleted it both times (didn't want to be too negative). The first time I withdrew was because I was following my own rule that a FOT should never throw another FOT in a hate pit. Then I realized she wasn't a FOT, that she didn't like the FOT, and I put her on again. Then I withdrew again because I didn't want to start a FOTwah without support. And she's a real person and I don't really want to hurt real peoples' feelings. Mickey Dolenz isn't really a real person in my opinion. And neither is Shepard Fairey (that motherfucker!)
he's in my Hate Pit where his job is to rinse off Shepard Fairey's silkscreens.
my mom sent me this in an email. even though I voted for Obama, this is ridiculous. Celebrity endorsement overload!!

Obama supporter here.
Gotta say, that "Yes, We Can" video is a spectacular bellyflop. My wife and I were watching it just now for the first time, and my wife said she was expecting a baby to come out of a mother's stomach at the end of the video, look at the camera and say, "Yes...we....can."
I hope Obama gets elected, and his first action as president is to irrationally wage war on everyone, from Luxembourg to Bolivia. Why would I want that? For the sole reason that the people in that video would have to eat humble pie for decades to come. "Yes, we.....OH MY GOD HE'S INSANE!"
(I don't really want that)
I nominate Vince Gill. It's not that he made fun of Kanye during the Grammies, and it's not that he did it primarily as retaliation for some perceived slight on Kanye's part when he complained about losing Best New Artist to Gretchen Wilson, it's that he justified it with the phrase "us rednecks stick together" (http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1581455/20080212/west_kanye.jhtml?rsspartner=rssFeedBurner). Creep. And throw this James Montgomery MTV writer down there while you're at it.

Really? Look, I didn't watch the Grammies but for 1 solid minute, and it happened to be when Kanye was doing his acceptance grandstand, and I thought it was pathetic. This guy's got the world on a string and he has to be a total dick about it as much as possible, like as if he's fighting for something that matters besides total integration into mass culture. That's something that always drove me crazy about Nirvana too. You can't have it both ways. Either you play the game or you're too good for it and you don't show up.

What, you didn't like his recent bit about how he couldn't imagine having a president with a name as weird as "Obama," and how "real" presidential names, like Washington and Jefferson just aren't around anymore? That was really enlightening...
Or, don't forget his segment about how people carry books in their bags, which included him wondering if people are reading on the clock at work...
As long as you have the good sense not to run for president. You start acting like Fred Thompson, I'll throw you in your own Hate Pit with Carrot Top and Matthew Barney!

(1) Regarding me running for president, you have nothing to fear. More likely, I will be sitting on the front porch of the local nursing home, yelling things about "the rotten republicans" to a fire hydrant.
(2) I am thrilled that you were actually listening to the fan fiction long enough to hear who was in my hate pit! I was sure everyone had tuned out by the end. I would imagine that it was not everyone's cup of tea. I felt honored that Tom would give it the time. It was like Clive Cussler getting Sir John Gielgud to do one of his audiobooks. The medium was stronger than the message. Thanks for staying tuned. Any FOT is a FOM.
Matt, I'm getting a little of that Abraham vibe from you. I have an MFA and I teach creative writing, so believe me, I know how tedious it can be, but everybody has to start somewhere. In my experience almost no one starts out as a genius, and the few who do rarely progress beyond that.

I don't know who this Abraham character is, but if this is a veiled criticism of me, I won't hear it and I won't respond to it.
But seriously, I was hoping my post wouldn't come off as know-it-all or superior, or anything like that; I'm certainly in the same boat ability-wise as all these people, and all their stories have had at least one moment that I found to be really great writing. I think I might have just gotten a little too angry about this "Wakefield" guy and decided to make an unfair statement about my writing class in general, which was wrong of me.
But, oh, this "Wakefield" guy, he got my goat good. We had an English class together last semester and "Wakefield" was one of the texts covered, so I know he's read it. It was plagiarism, pure and simple, and I think it's right to be upset about it, since everybody else had no problem bringing something new to the table. If Hawthorne could have read this guy's story, he would have beaten him with Robin's oaken cudgel. (Hawthorne joke!) So, I guess what I'm saying is, I'm taking the story-readin' out of the Hate Pit, and putting "Wakefield" guy in there instead.
I feel much better.
I actually have a lot of very established writers in my hate-pit, mostly middle-aged white men who have achieved a great deal of success (as in Pulitzer nominations, plays on Broadway and/or made into movies) but whose work I don't like and who like to throw their weight around. I feel totally OK hating them.

Has anyone mentioned John Mayer yet?when I was studying celebrity gossip, I thought this guy john mayer was hot, despite his white trash hair style. Then he opened his mouth and starting speaking, which is an effing shame.

He's terrible at both music and comedy, but in person he is strikingly handsome. Very tall.

The only hate-pit worthy thing he has done is stand-up and the only thing that makes it hate pit worthy to me is when that was happening I was doing stand-up and because he is famous (weirdly famous considering his terribleness) he was able to drop-in at the Comedy Cellar which is the hardest club in NYC to get passed at. For his first time. I found that annoying, but not hate pit worthy.
he tries.
Wait, John Mayer does stand-up?

Andy, start doing recaps of this guy's videos. PLEASE
He said it all revolved around how funny he was convinced that he was, but all of his "humor" had just revolved around making fun of the Little People who worked for him to their faces, playing "practical jokes" on them that they then had to clean up, teasing them with money, etc - really nasty, meanspirited stuff.

They arrest you for drinking beer on the subways now, even in a paper bag. So I get around this by pouring a beer onto my salad and eating it on the train. With my hands.
what about go-gurt?

Ugh. The concept of sucking purple yogurt from those tube-things repulses me, as does the trend of sucking food from tubes in general. That's probably why, unlike other kids, I could never warm up to those popsicles that came in the clear plastic wrappers and were about the size of a big novelty pencil. The name of them escapes me.*

Fla-vor-ice, if I recall. I don't know what the weird spelling was about - maybe they couldn't legally call it flavor?
I have to ask, though, are you constantly outraged by IV drips?

Who has time for sit-down meals anymore? In a time of frenetic lifestyles, a meal these days must pass the litmus test of portability. And with Americans increasingly chowing down on their way to work, school and play who has time for such time-honored traditions as tableware and plates? It's a concept that Breakstone Foods of Columbus, Ohio took to comic extremes with the debut of IncrEdibles--a frozen line of microwavable pastas and scrambled egg combos sold in "push-up" style pops. Marketers fired off tongue-in-cheek "protest letters" on American Utensils & Plates Manufacturer's Assoc. letterhead urging a boycott. "This is preposterous. An outrage...People have been eating pasta for over 3,000 years while seated at a table (or a stone) using a plate, fork and spoon," wrote Ivan M. Nyephenfark, the group's president. Robert Berman, Breakaway Foods president and IncrEdibles inventor, who was inspired by his daughter's playful twists with spaghetti and a breadstick, said sales are already brisk. Berman expect s the line to hit vending channels next year. "This is the biggest new food innovation since TV dinners."

a few posts ago, my thoughts on hate pit-ter dan kennedy
Discover Card is currently in my Hate Pit. I'm three days late for a payment, I get three phone calls on my cell phone. I've already scheduled the payment for when I'll ACTUALLY HAVE MONEY TO PAY IT online. I call the number they call me from from my work phone 'cause they haven't left messages, I'm not sure if it's discover card or something else or what, but whoever they are, I'mhoping they won't call me back there. The guy on the other line immediately asks for my account number which I don't give him; he also asks for my name and I only give him my first name. Two hours later i get a call AT WORK from Discover, and they use my full name. So Discover is basically stalking me now for a payment that is 3 days late. I basically yell at this lady telling her I've scheduled a payment already, she needn't call me 6 times a day I SAID GOOD DAY.
Morgan Spurlock's new documentary which looks like the most awful thing ever made no money and got bad reviews! Much rejoicing as my hate pit laughs at one of its members.

Yeah but that Ben Stein creationist doc made $3 mil and cracked the top 10. Nothing erases that kind of shame.
The big story of the weekend is not The Wizards Of Kick Oz or Trying To Forget Segel's Penis, but Expelled being the widest doc opening ever, leading to being the third biggest doc opening ever. Ever.
Yes, all the Michael Moore movies will overshadow whatever the final number on this film is, but they all went into theaters in exclusives or, with Sicko, under 900 screens.
Expelled is pretty much assured of being amongst the Top Ten doc grossers of all-time before it's done... and passing Super Size Me and Winged Migration is not out of the question. Just this weekend's number makes it the #5 doc of the last two years, with Shine A Light and Grizzly Man both likely to be passed this week.

He was interviewed in Blender a couple years ago about how when he was a lad him and some friends beat up this decrepit old guy and also his dog. Total dirtbag maneuver, though I couldn't tell how "man I was a stupid kid"-style contrite he was just by reading it.
