I'm torn on Harland Williams. There aren't many comedians still meeting the needs of the rubber chicken crowd. He's one of the last. His blend of deadpan and manic delivery is very recognizable and obviously successful. And he has made me laugh. I believe it was his line: "Hey, hey, hey, hey— HEYheyhey!" I don't even remember the joke. I could have been something about pack of wild chihuahuas pulling a Thanksgiving turkey into your grandma's parlor, or a mustache made of cheez whiz and pinecones.It's a style of comedy that usually earns a quick judgement either for or against. If you know his act, his podcast is often what you'd expect. If you don't know him (really?) you might as well check it out. Episode 156 is all Harland, talking alone about inflatable gorillas, Activia, hair coloring, and other timely topics.
If jokes about deadly diarrhea make you giggle, The Harland Highway might be your path.
