There should be a thread for Dennis Perrin tweets.

The President of the United States is a half-mile from me, and the sky above is choked with military helicopters. Freedom!

Or blog posts, or whatever. This guy is a goldmine of yuks.

As I watched the first few comics spar with the crowd, I decided that this bit was too arcane for the room. I toyed with an evolving premise about power relationships based on extreme porn categories, but again thought it not right. So I returned to the Black Muslim Acid set. Drugs, racism, hallucinatory revelations -- surely the kids would be hip to that. Right?

The comics before me performed more or less the same material. Different energy levels, some sharper and funnier than others, but not an eclectic range of topics. And again, nothing really political or social. There was also a lot of talking to the audience, making fun of each person's country and stereotyped culture (the Germans as Nazis, the British having bad teeth). The kids seemed to like it, yet this was not what I had in mind. When I was introduced, I improvised a few opening lines, then went directly into the bit.

Silence. Stares. When I got to the Blacks giving me acid and their features morphing into Disney crows, the lone Black audience member got up and went outside. The guy was from the Bronx, so there wasn't a cultural divide. He simply had no interest in my story. When you're confessing your inner-racist core and a Black guy walks out, you know you're fucked. And I was decidedly that. The energy shifted from giddy and silly to weirdly tense.

you're kind of an ignotamus, Loh

or ignoramus, or just lazy

Hey, I did a lot of work to uncover my favorite new right-wing blogger/twitterer!

OK, I get it, you're just repeating "right-wing" to make Old Dr M mad. Very cute. You're kingkongvsgodzilla, right?

I thought his comments on Conan O'Brien's disdain for "meaningful" comedy were fair and astute.

Old Dr M!!

Dr. M. may refer to:

Dr. M (film), a 1990 film starring Andrew McCarthy
Dr M or Mahathir bin Mohamad, fourth Prime Minister of Malaysia

Dr. Morbius. Yes, I changed screen-names. I'm not trying to make you mad. Sorry. I'm just having fun with Dennis Perrin, who is a bit of an enigma to me. He's hard to pin down and when someone suggested starting a rolling thread for his tweets, I thought that might be a good way to help elucidate and define his character. If it makes you overly mad, then nevermind, basically, because I'm not really interested in causing any controversy.

I'm shocked this thread is only just happening now.

I'm shocked at being called an ignotamus.

There are precious few google results for ignotamus.

Wouldn't it be great if the US govt devoted similar energy to solving its own war crimes as they are on this fucking dud SUV bomb?

did kkvg get a new personality when he changed usernames? quit being an asshole

maybe kkvg should devote similar energy to solving HIS WAR CRIMES

WAR CRIMINAL

Damn dude.

Hey Afghanistan -- we've got health care now! What do you have? Ha! Losers.

i think they've got enough on their plate, and don't deserve to be zinged by dennis perrin about their lack of healthcare

i just saw that obama was arrested moments before air force one was set to take off, so idk

MAYBE DENNIS PERRINS SHOULD INVESTIGATE HIS OWN WAR CRIMES INSTEAD OF A TWITTER

hahaha wait, kevin when did you turn into an anti-establishment, morbs-sympathizing hardman

i noticed a change right around the time that john paul stevens resigned, but maybe velko can help update my xls

i think u guys are mean to morbs tbh

LEAVE MORBS ALONE

morbs is like 85 years old, he can handle himself!

say what u want troll the good doc how u wish but d.perrin talkin @ "length" about his desire 2 hate fuck republican women is all time internet shit fuiud

morbs is equally "mean" to "us" fwiw, if this is the definition that is being used

Sex remains a wonderful thing. Yow.

oh man. too many informations.

hahahahahaha

that tweet signals that dude prob has no irl friends & needs attention -- kinda sad now ;_;

np lohzilla, I'm not mad.

Lamp, that's called "comedy," the unfettered kind that's a little more edgy than sainted Conan's masturbating primates I guess.

Perrin is married and has two kids, don't know if they count as "friends."

are we sure "Dennis Perrin" isn't "Dennis Miller"?

Yesterday, Morbs felt that I wasn't worth the time it would take to explain who Dennis Perrin was. Perhaps I'm a little butthurt. Perhaps I'm not acting like myself lately because I'm jacked up on Benadryl after having a severe allergy attack this weekend. Is that milquetoast enough for you k3v?

I think that my cashews were processed in a facility that also processes pine nuts.

he explains who he is right here, OK?

yah im 2 much a simp to really "get" how the gr8 the divide is btw personas hes inhabiting but tbh i like perrin best when he veers into creepy sexual predator mode:

Sofie's two companions giggled. We sat on the front steps of my friend's Chelsea art gallery, watching the older rich and younger hipsters stroll by. Sofie and her friends were visiting from Belgium. They saw me sitting alone, drinking a beer, and decided I was harmless enough to engage. We talked about art, politics, life. They were friendly and very cute. They refused to believe my age, which was flattering. Their soft young features warmed me, and it felt great to be alive in the city I love.

Think of all the successful marriages between ex-porn stars and mixed martial artists that go unreported. 2:45 PM Apr 28th via web

They were friendly and very cute.

this attempt at Chandler terseness is much grosser, actually.

I'm the author of "MR. MIKE: The Life and Work of Michael O'Donoghue, The Man Who Made Comedy Dangerous," "AMERICAN FAN: Sports Mania and the Culture That Feeds It," and "SAVAGE MULES: The Democrats and Endless War." I wrote jokes for Bill Maher and countless other comics, some of whom ran for public office. I've done the media/public speaking thing, pounding podiums when not singing and dancing for tossed coins. Once upon a time I wrote Red State Son, the archive of which can be found in the blogroll below.

Which I read yesterday, and which, let's be honest at first glance reads kinda Republican!

not as gross as anything Dennis Miller has ever said or done. but I'll take your word for it, Professor.

xp

A few months ago he wrote about how he held his nose and did campaign work for Kerry in Michigan in '04 bcz he was so appalled by Bush.

morbz your brave stand against guys who recite cheesy topical jokes on late night tv would make more sense if this dude wasn't your hero

there should be a thread for Richard Nixon tweets.

i have never seen this guy referenced anywhere other than on ilx. still have no idea who he is.

check the liberry

lol based on how much morbz posts about him i thought he was very well-known or something. i also have never seen him referenced outside ilx

no, he is just some dude

maybe morbs is friends with him irl dunno

Can't believe you guys don't know about the dude who wrote a book about Donahue.

sorry guys, i know how desperate you all are to assfuck Trump bcz he has 70 kajillion followers

lol

This summer, Perrin was losing Twitter followers whenever he pointed out what subhuman garbage Clinton was, and then he'd tweet "C'mon, more!"

What a hero

just different ways of measuring human worth

morbs come clean, is dennis perrin just your twitter superhero identity

iirc there was a good discussion of dennis perrin on the thread for non-diegetic posters

Vladimir Putin is the sexy Ralph Nader

His Donahue book is good. His tweets are not, unless rote zings at Clinton are the only thing that still gets your dick hard.

plz don't say Donahue even as a joek

Sorry for the slight to Phil O'Donoghue.

https://twitter.com/DennisThePerrin/status/822365531650945024

woeful stuff even by perrin's low standards

Three "likes".

he retweeted will menaker from chapo trap house, who he was apparently hanging out with yesterday. can't wait for the ilx clusterfuck if and when perrin guests on the podcast

I should repeat that Perrin's O'Donoghue book is pretty good, if requiring the reader to believe that O'Donoghue's every instance of being a bitter self-destructive cunt is actually a gesture of genius. He's a dull knife as a tweeter, though.

more of a plastic spoon, really

def not kicking thru that open net

yr soccerball metaphors could use a little work, honestly

was bellowing at the dilution of Scrooged into holiday saphood an example of M O'D's cuntdom, i wonder?

I'm very fond of that movie, and I'm not sure fashioning it into a more bitter and caustic satire would have improved it, and yes, that was one instance in which O'Donoghue seemed a vainglorious crank who was probably very difficult and unpleasant to spend time with, on occasion.

It's been at least a decade since I read it. I tried to reread it a few years ago and didn't enjoy it nearly so much and stopped, so apologies if my recall is too vague for you.

there's no doubt the guy was a 'purist' about his own work, but you can't be surprised that he wasn't especially interested in cineplex-level mass appeal. He was delighted at reports of audience 'riots' at Mondo Video.

I keep meaning to watch Mondo Video, I tracked down a copy a while ago.

it has a couple of huge belly laughs, otherwise agreeably perverse.

He said a lot of things, mostly deranged. He had pictures drawn by Richard Speck in his office, just to show how edgy he was. They guy might have been funny in the 70's but he was a tool when I had the displeasure be be around him. https://t.co/vXqI0ftTgs

i'd ask how, uppmiss, if I wasn't bored with your post

Why is @DennisThePerrin off Twitter?

oh my god
we were wrong
he was Morbs
all along

I confess
I was lame
Thought one was two
Tho thoughts were lame

I've never been on the Twitter

You fucking liar.

Laugh at this all you want, but it's more common than you think. I did 27 sit-ups at my Grandfather's showing, shadowboxed over my Uncle's open casket, and performed a tribute to Mummenschanz as dirt was tossed on my Stepfather's grave. Grief takes many forms. pic.twitter.com/gspcPueAlS
