hicks is pretty much the king. cross gets a little too politcal sometimes, but for the most part he is genius, but i liked his portrayal as Tobias Bluthe better than his stand up.
I respect your opinion but completely disagree. The genius of Cross on Arrested Development is that most of his dialogue was improved on the show, and for the most part, was the only cast member allowed to do so.
His standup is brilliant because you rarely ever see the punchline coming. I suppose if you don't have the same venom for pop culture and the American political landscape, I guess you wouldn't find his material that entertaining. I find Hicks to be my favorite but Cross is getting better as he releases more material.
If you don't find this funny, I'm not sure what's wrong with you: http://youtube.com/watch?v=B2QqrvSryQA
oh i completely agree on most of those points. i own both "Its Not Funny," and "Shut up, you &*$@!ing baby" and i find them completely hillarious, but i don't like it when people get absolutely wrapped up in political comments. i don't care if they are right or left political biases, or whatever, it just gets boring after more than a few minutes of it. that is why i liked his character on arrested development, because he created it. he was brilliant in it, and his ability really showed in his character development. its not that i don't like cross, i think he is hillarious, but he has a few time where he just goes on a rant about political stuff. which, is very predictable regardless of how you do it. just my opinion.
*also, Mr.Show was amazing.
