minus-squaredan1101@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up2·6 months agoHe did different sorts of comedy, many of his bits were purposely anti-comedy. For a great example of that, see his roast of Bob Saget. He also told some very dirty and controversial jokes at times, usually with a sly grin on his face like a naughty school kid.
