The Hard Times of R.J.Berger caught stealing
« on: August 17, 2010, 06:41:49 AM »
I was watching the new episode of The Hard Times of R.J.Berger and yes you may flag me on that.
More importantly though:
They stole the juggler vein/ jugular vein routine!(Episode 11: 13:33 min)
I am most displeased!
What are your thoughts on this incident of major proportions?

I'd say it's independent invention, like with Newton, Leibniz, and the calculus.

Yeah i would normally side with you but i have seen the rest of the show.
There is nothing independent or inventive about it.
This was the only funny thing in 11 episodes.
I am going to stick to my hypothesis for now.

You can't call stealing on a pun. Although, I do think scrubs stole Dr. Acula from Mitch Hedberg.

I have come across this "juggler vein" joke elsewhere, even before the Best Show. It seems like a gag that's probably been around the block. I agree with Hugman: puns are discovered, not invented.

I'm pretty sure Dr. Acula is used in The Monster Squad too.

Did you mean the Monster Squad movie or TV show?  The show raised me like a parent during its short run on Saturday morning TV.

P.S. Well, I thought it was funny as a 7-yr-old.  Seems they could not splurge for a laugh track, and the results are devastating

I'm too young to have seen that show (not showing off) but the fact that you watched it growing up leads me to believe you had a way better childhood than me.

I never saw the show but I was 13 when the movie came out. In my memory I was younger than that.
