Color me confused.
Of course, the writers would think their work is great, i.e., funny. But just because they think they do a great job, doesn't mean the audience does. Take SNL, for instance. I'm sure the writers on that show also think their work is great. Maybe some audience members agree. I don't. Frankly, I cringed at the toilet seat joke in last week's 5-timer bit. How stupid and unoriginal can you get? Dave could suffer from the same problem. Don't get me wrong. I love Dave. I love that he was honored by the Kennedy Center, because it was well-deserved. There are still many great moments on his show, especially when he's interviewing certain people. However, most of the time, what's supposed to be pure comedy is just silly, uncreative, and stale -- not clever, smart, and original, which is what I prefer.
