"True sense of humor" snobbery is internet snobbery at its finest. Well done.
C'mon all you die-hard Letterman fans (as opposed to us "casual" fans that only loved him for his first 15 or so years), could y'all please help 2blue out by posting in his thread? Don't let wishing it had been another GYERO poster -- or as 2blue put it, a more "inclusive" GYERO poster -- hold you back from showing Dave your unconditional support.
Mav, c'mon. You've taken this way too personal. Nothing I've posted has been directed to casual fans(you) and I'm not sure how you could think otherwise. And the fact you feel the need to somehow "check me" on something that was obviously a poor attempt at self-deprecation is really strange to me. I've thought you were a solid poster, and I still do, but this isn't your best moment, imo. No trying to sound like a snob either.
You see now, here is part of your problem. Just because people don't like someone does not make them closed minded. It simply means that they really don't think he was funny anymore. Very shallow take on your part. But, that is the normal left response if people do not agree, your either not educated, racist, redneck, hateful, and list of other negative feelings. In this country now if you are not a left leaner, your wrong.But then again....maybe not. Odd bunch around here. Extremely conservative and close-minded. Relatively speaking of course. And most lack a true sense of humor. Not a description of a Letterman fan.
Here's Dave spanking Big Bill O'Reilly. I think republicans were in mourning for a week after.

I kept hoping I'd find Letterman as funny and interesting as he found himself, but it never happened. I finally gave up.
Why the touch are you posting in this thread? Jesus, are you being a contrarian just to be a contrarian? The dude has influenced TV the last 30 years or so with his comedy. I get you may not be smart enough to understand his humor, but hes had some great TV and great interviews.Never a big fan of late night talk shows. Always thought Letterman's humor was too 'New York' for me, i.e., too snarky, too weird, too inside-jokish. Only time I've ever watched these shows is to watch a particular musical guest. Then, I just FF to the performance. Absolutely don't care at all what any of his guests think about politics, environment, money, etc. Hence the reason I almost never watch.

You pretty much expressed my opinion exactly. I'll probably watch tonight because it's the end of an era, but I won't be concerned if I miss it.
One thing I'm certain of though, is that it doesn't make me mad one iota whether people enjoy the show or not. I can't see getting upset about whether you like a comedienne or not. If you like him, great, If you don't, great. Who cares?
Pretty good. Glad to see that Taco Bell bit again. Vintage Letterman... had me laughing the whole time during that gag.
Definitely the end of an era.
Welcome to Taco Bell. What do you want?
I agree. He also was no Jack Parr or Steve Alan.hes no johnny carson.
To say one has a flaw in their reasoning because they do not agree with your take is a bit hypocritical. Once again, because you think he was great does not mean everyone will and before you give this crap about not having to read it, remember this is an open forum where people like to give their opinions. Didn't we just have a thread about thin skinned people need not post? Or, at least expect to have your opinion challenged every time you post here. You seem to be offended because someone does not like Dave. Like I said before, many like myself used to really like him but, he lost it about 10 years ago or so IMO.I agree. If you hate Dave, that's fine. We don't have to agree. But when you state your opinion and then give bullshit reasons as to why you think that way, I'm going call you out on that. Not really trying to say your wrong, but mostly to point out that you may have a flaw in your reasoning. The least I can do to a negative post, in what's suppose to be a positive thread. But I don't ever expect somebody to change their mind. Nor should they either. That's not the point. There's no point really. Just trying to proceed the discussion.
Don't post if you're afraid of scrutiny, I guess.
