    One thought on this years Bash...

    Overall, the Bash was awesome. This is the 2nd one I've attended, and they've both been wonderful. Personally, last years Bash in CR is still my favorite....but that's not really a fair comparison. SBR did both of them first class, and I couldn't imagine anyone who attended not enjoying themselves. My wife attended this years with me as well, and I can honestly say she enjoyed everything just as much as I did.

    The only negative I had with this Bash was the comedian/ventriloquist from Saturday nights dinner. In my opinion, the guy came off as a total hack. I realize how hard it is to get up in front of a room full of strangers and attempt to entertain them....but this guy just took everything too far. Its one thing to push the envelope by taking digs on a few people in attendance, but his incessant insults directed toward a few made it really uncomfortable. It seemed like whenever he found some gag that elicited a little laughter, he drove it straight in the ground. Kudos to a few SBR posters for not allowing his insults toward them, or even worse, their wives, to create a scene. I fear I would not have taken his terribly lame jabs so well after about the first 20 times.I realize we're all degenerates, so while most things may not offend too many....there were quite a few women in the room. Several of his jokes were not only unfunny, but extremely vulgar. Not something I could ever imagine repeating in front of a group of ladies. I've always been very impressed by comedians who's acts were successful with little to no profanity. Not that I have an issue with cursing (God knows I don't), its simply much more impressive to be able to generate laughter without being offensive...a la Jerry Seinfeld.

    Just my take. Some may have loved him. To each his own. Regardless, many thanks to John and all of SBR for a terrific time. Looking forward to next year!

    I totally know what you mean Opie. I did think parts were funny as shit but overall he did go a little overboard. Dude, Mug, bro I give you mad props for doing what you did. OMG that part had me in tears, I don't think I would have felt so comfortable to let that happen but once I was up there I wouldn't have stepped down either just made props to you man. Paco, wow, unreal. I don't know how I would have handled myself if 25% of his act was talking trash on me and calling me gay and all the other things that this guy said to you. Props to you too for taking it so well.

    Exactly. He just drove the same lame jokes into the ground.

    That poor old guy sitting close to him apparently didn't know English. Thank God, because that clown was beyond insulting to him.

    Opie, you asked the guy where his change bucket was in the lobby before the show. Surprised he didnt come after you.

    OVerall, definitely got some laughs but did drive a few things into the ground. Especially when ripping people in the crowd. Hit them a few times over the course of the show, not every 2-3 minutes

    i thought he was meaner last time, especially with shannon's lady friend

    reminds me of eminem's best line on this subject

    "Will Smith don't gotta cuss in his raps to sell records
    Well I do, so fukk him and fukk you too"

    I thought his insults were hilarious

    I like how he made fun of every nationality instead of picking on one ethnicity

    he also apologized at the end to show that he meant no ill will

    He's no George Carlin but the puppetry makes his act work. He did impress the judges on Americas Got Talent.

    Yeah he did bash everyone that's for sure. He didn't need to apologize to everyone because it was obvious that he didn't really mean any of it really. Just sucked if u were one of the handful that he "picked" on. I honestly didn't want to go get another drink at one point because I didn't want him to say some shit, and I was like only 20 feet from the bartender lol

    She wasn't offended. She hears me say worse daily.

    Trust me...my issue wasn't the profanity. I have a filthy mouth. I also think that Eddie Murphy's Raw album is the one of the greatest comedy acts of all time. I simply think its hackish to continually throw a bunch of obscenities out there for no reason. To me, the whole Paco is gay routine wasn't even funny to begin with, much less the 25th time.

    Exactly what I was thinking Cougar. This guy is highly underrated. It never even occurred to me how clean his act is until I heard another comedian mention it. Most of my favorite comedians drop plenty of F-bombs and do plenty of "edgy" material but Brian Regan has got to be the funniest clean comedian there is.

    Regan lives in Vegas, but it'd probably cost at least $50k. Brian Regan is one of the top 5 comedians in the biz. I wasn't there, but I seem to recall SBR had Dough Stanhope several years ago. He's excellent.

    Fair enough, you should asked John what he did to him and his wife back in 2010....calling Paco a terrorist...funny but over the line as you suggested. Guy is probably nothing like that in real life but ultimately that doesn't matter if his act truly made you and others feel uncomfortable.
