I never have voted Tory, but a lot of the people on the left do themselves a disservice, in that they paint the Tories in such a cartoon character bad guy way that I'm starting to think it would be funny to vote Tory in the future, not because it would help me, but because some people put up such an amusing opposition to the Tories that its worth having them on that basis.

My father ranted like that, not about rich people, but about his own life, but using similar mannerisms and repetitive speech patterns as my father, for some reason I like it, my sister hates it for the same reason.

More "stand up philosopher" in that he speaks uncomfortable truths (at least as he sees it) with a large serve of hyperbole.

Not so much "rolling around on the floor holding your sides" funny.

There's definitely comics who manage to make uncomfortable truths really funny. It's only a personal opinion about his delivery. I'm sure he made a lot of people laugh or he wouldn't have been such a successful comic. I'm just not one of them. :dunno:

This is a famous Australian comedian who was known to tell the odd uncomfortable truth:
