Sunday, November 14, 2004 at 5:21 PM Adam is one of my top 5 favorite comedians, so don't take this to mean that i don't like him or something, b/c i do - it's just that lately i've noticed that his rants have been going on about 50 to 75 percent longer than they probably should. i think he's trying too hard, forcing himself on tangents even when he isn't really inspired, and then not bringing his rants to a close until he's beaten his subject into the ground... the other day i was listening to a radio show on npr about the improv comedy group the groundlings (you can listen to it here: http://freshair.npr.org/day_fa.jhtml?display=day&todayDate=11/08/2004 ), which apparrently spawned a bunch of SNL comedians and famous comedians, and which i think that adam was briefly a member of... anyway at one point they talk about how most improvs that they do are two to four mins long, and that if they aren't getting anywhere after that time frame, the director shuts the lights off on them and ends the improv sketch. anyway i think that adam needs someone (drew) to move things on after 2-4 mins of his ranting, if he hasn't really gotten anything going by that point... i know that drew tries to do this sometimes, but he needs to get better at it - just slide in after a joke and go to a call. on the other hand if corolla really gets somethin goin, as he often does, then let him rip. —daveman |

Sunday, November 14, 2004 at 5:58 PM If you think they're too long then record them and play them really fast.
I'm sure they'll sound funnier too. —Puff |

Sunday, November 14, 2004 at 6:13 PM Daveman... you are fucking crazy. Adams rants should be longer.. infact I wouldn't mind one show of nothing but rants. no call, no diseases, no molested, or bipolar chicks... just rants. —annonymous smoke detector |

Sunday, November 14, 2004 at 9:59 PM the good ones should be longer, and most of them are good. listing the temperatures in various areas around LA for 10 mins - that one could have been cut off earlier... he just needs to tweek it a bit, that's all. a minor suggestion/criticism. —daveman |

Monday, November 15, 2004 at 9:40 AM I think it depends on the subject. I believe a person can rant for ten solid minutes and do a good job is there is enough material. I believe Adam can easily sustain a rant for that long, but not necessarily on any subject. He does have a tendancy to go on and on a bit, but it's never bothered me all that much. —clodhopper |

Wednesday, November 17, 2004 at 12:11 PM I would not listen to that. Adam's rants are good, but they can go on a little too long some times (although when it comes to length I'm more worried about his morning DJ imitations, he can really drag those out sometimes). A showfull of ranting would be too much for me. —Dark Laith |
