More than 30 seconds! But I hear you... If only he could've stayed this way forever! He was like the comedian version of Stallone meets Travolta.

Fame, Ego, blow, metabolism, etc. He got lost along the way.

I loved his show DICE though that was like a "mockumentary" if you will, where he made fun of himself.

Dice was when I first saw the shift towards the modern cancel culture. His first special was pretty hilarious for the time but somehow lots and lots of people didn’t realize he was a PARODY of that kind of atrocious guido-type misogynist. No idea how people didn’t get this, but it is impossible to underestimate the ignorance of the majority.

It’s kinda like when they were talking about Pepé Le Pew. Everybody that watched those cartoons as a kid understood he was an example of how NOT to act towards girls/women. He was always a perv and always looks like an ass and lost in the end. Damn people are stupid.

Back to Dice…His schtick was definitely funny for longer than 30 seconds back then, but how far could he take it? It got old very fast and he basically just became pretty unlikeable. The “it’s a wonderful life” snl sketch was brilliant comedy. Sinéad O'Connor and cast member Nora Dunn refused to appear on the show with him so they did a scenario where he didn’t host and what have happened to them as a result.

His double album "The Day The Laughter Died" is great comedy. Skip past the lame rhymes (the hickory dickory dock crap) and the rest is a great comedy album.

Some details on it that I wasn't aware of from wikipedia:

The Day the Laughter Died is a comedy double album by American comedian Andrew Dice Clay, released in 1990. It was produced by Rick Rubin, whose concept was to record an unadvertised performance in a small club with a small crowd, many of whom would not necessarily be fans of Clay's act. Clay chose a New York club owned by comedian Rodney Dangerfield, Dangerfield's, to record during the holiday season. A sequel, The Day the Laughter Died, Part II, was released in 1993.

The album is largely improvisational, with Clay interacting with the audience over the course of over an hour and a half. The topics run through his usual gamut of sex, relationships between men and women, masculinity and popular culture. Unlike his prior recordings, the jokes are delivered intentionally flat and raw as to offend and alienate the audience, turning the performance into the joke itself

That album rules! I swear my friends and I played the fuck out of both cassettes. The fact that the audience wasn't fully aware of him was awesome.

Hour... back... GET IT?

I'll call you BACK! I'll get BACK to you!

While I thought he was a goof at the time, he was certainly a big star & super popular. I did like when Howard Stern & Opie & Anthony would make fun of him. Then, Dice would go on the show and talk about it & that ended up being funny.

HOW ARE YA?!?!??!

She said "good." Right after I scared the shit out of her.

I may have to queue it up and give it a listen. Haven't heard it in years.

Dice was the first shift you saw? Did you sleep through Disco Sucks and the PMRC Hearings?

Cancel Culture slices both ways. I remember Dice getting cancelled and losing the part of his audience who embraced and identified with his misogynistic guido persona, once he went public and admitted that wasn’t who he really was. I remember him losing more fans from that than the Sinead O’Connors, who also got canceled for ripping the picture of the Pope in half on SNL

There was always a right-wing conservative blowback from RnR from the time it existed, genius. I said the modern (PC) “cancel” culture which is very different and you know it. Around the time Dice hit big is when people showed they were literally too stupid to understand parody at all. You must have been one of them. That’s was the noticeable beginning of the leftist (un)liberal idiocy that eventually led to the clownworld we occupy today.

Yeah, there were probably “real” Satanist’s who listened to Slayer and probably some serious perverts who liked the Mentors too, just like the handful of idiots who actually looked up to the “character” Dice was mocking. They were as dumb as the idiots who thought Dice was a real person. Anyway, that’s totally beside my the point that you seemed to miss completely. Not surprised.

Bible Belt mommies and people not liking a certain type of music are not even close to what I’m talking about. It’s the inability to understand context which has grown to epidemic proportions. Anyone would have had to be pretty stupid to not know Dice was just a potty-mouthed Fonzie. A cartoon character who was making fun of assholes who acted like he did. That WAS the joke.

Your hypocrisy and stupidity knows no bounds

You seem to think the left has a monopoly on Cancel Culture but nothing could be further from the truth. The Disco Sucks movement was wasn’t “right wing, conservative blowback.” It was full blown cancel culture. They canceled the whole genre.

The left came back a little over a decade later and cancel cultured 80s hair metal and just about most things 80s. Which was just as bad and moronic as Disco Sucks.

I wasn’t that familiar with Dice, I saw him in the 80s movie, Casual Sex at the time and had no idea who he was. I liked him in that. I later saw his standup routine on tv. I really didn’t know much about him. I took Howard Stern’s schtick at face value too back then. I’m not from New York and didn’t really care if it was all an “act” or not. I didn’t find Howard funny. He was more of an annoying, attention whoring man child then anything else. I liked Sam Kinison, I loved Sam Kinison. He was abrasive, obnoxious and annoying as hell but I found him funny, I didn’t hate Dice but I wasn’t a big fan nor did I give enough of a shit to psycho analyze his bit.

The Christian Conservatives in our country did try to cancel The Beatles in the 60s but it didn’t work. Just like they tried to cancel rock n roll in the 50s but thankfully failed,


Was it the lefties that canceled the Dixie Chicks after our 2003 invasion of Iraq? No, that was the GOP.


While not exactly cancel culture, did the “leftists” sue Judas Priest and Ozzy back in the 80s over lyrics in am attempt to cancel them? Possibly sending them to jail? No, that was the Christian Conservative.
