Last Comic Standing Web Designer Crack
Posted by: Travis Schmeisser on Tuesday July 31, 2007
Did anyone catch last week’s episode of Last Comic Standing?
One of the contestants, Andi Smith, made a crack about web designers:
“I used to make web sites for a living… that’s what I did… which, in terms of artistic integrity, is like one notch above airbrushing wilderness scenes on the sides of old conversion vans. Soulsucking…really.”
Oooouuuuch! Guess you’ll have to try out next season since you didn’t make it to the next round. ZING!
This general assumption always kills me because I do find a lot of artistic integrity in what I do everyday and I wouldn’t do it if it was otherwise. Granted, we’re solving for problems, have guidelines, stay within contraints and are not making art purely of our own freewill, but integrity? Of course! Maybe it’s the web design nerd in me, but when I see a beautiful well executed site design it’s like looking at great fine art.
Why Mel Rules
Mel Silverback: Gorilla suit. Gorilla jokes. That’s really all there is to it. Unfortunately, due to ill-judging Mel didn’t make it to the next round either. I consider him robbed of his title as the one true “Last Comic Standing.”
Excuse Me While I…
I’m off to go design an absolutely beautiful, artistically provactive and assumption-breaking website called “www.anditotallysucks.com”

First off, I’d like to start by saying I though Andi was hilarious and it was pretty disappointing when she didn’t move on.
There’s a new thing called “Comedy”, where people make jokes to make other people laugh. Oh, and guess what?
Dressing in a gorilla suit isn’t funny. Never has. Never will.
Why did Mel move on? Who knows? The judges obviously loved his costume, but that’s about the extent of the funny.
You can’t get through a competition like this with stale jokes and dressing up like an idiot.
Oh, and another thing. Anyone who takes offense from what a comedian says needs to take a chill pill. They come up with “jokes” to make people “laugh” and 98% of the time they don’t mean anything by it.
