My response was O_o
I thought he was hilarious on Comedy central and on harmful if swallowed.
But retaliation? It was a bunch of lame jokes that were not funny at all.
anyway, I youtube'd his new CD and sure enough, it's not funny

But, here's the mystery.
While he tells these unfunny jokes the crowd goes insane.
And all the youtube commenters think it's hilarious too.
Watch it and tell me if I'm crazy. Not funny at all IMO.

* Teams now score a point per captured control point, rather than per sub round
Kinda fucking dumb. I prefered the old way.

Team Fortress 2
* Sudden Death mode is now a server option (a convar) and defaults to OFF
* Sapped buildings now take slightly less damage from the Spy who sapped them
* The Medic's Medigun now charges at an increased rate during Setup time, to remove the need for self-damage grinding
* Fixed an rcon/console command that could cause server crashes
* Prevented players from playing the "civilian" class
* Prevented players from hiding their name in the scoreboard
* Fixed exploit where the Medigun UberCharge wouldn't drain if you switched weapons

* Fixed first person spectator view of the Spy watch not showing the correct cloak value

Dustbowl
* Now waits until either team wins fully before changing to another map on server timelimit expiring

* Prevented Demomen being able to launch grenades into the stage three alleys while standing at the final cap point
* Fixed gaps in stage gates that allowed snipers to kill defenders during setup
* Fixed several model and brush perch exploits in stage three
* Added stair access to the upper area in stage three after the first cap
* Limited line-of-sight at the first control point in stage 3 to remove a griefable sniper spot
