Is Bono a comic genius?

Ok he is kind of hilarious\nbut not always.\ncheck that :\n"What a city, what a night, what a crowd, what a bomb, what a mistake, what a wonker you have for a President."\nBono\n(Acceptance speech at MTV Europe Music Awards 1996, referring to French nuclear testing in Pacific)\nThat was correct. No?

Despite his whimsical speaking skills, he's actually quite an intelligent man. As far as better off, I sincerely doubt it since the retirement for presidents is one sweet package!

Genius..people think he's still doing "magic", and they are completely missing the point of his stunts. He isn't creating illusions, he is pushing the human body to extreme limits with endurance tests. He is doing what the Yogis and Natives of many tribes have done for ages, see how much the human body can sustain. It's really quite beautiful in a spiritual way. \n\nThis isn't about entertainment for him, it's about honoring a subculture legacy that was embraced by his idols before him.\nHoudini did these tests too. \nThose that think he is still in the whole "pick a card" thing are just not getting it.\n\nI have a friend who lives in New York and she said she saw him in the globe and he looked like a Beta fish.

I don't know him, but once he was in my city, and a friend of mine met him: he says he is very kind and caring, imagine that, but not so calm, of course.\nHe did have one girlfriend for, like a hundred years, she was actually older than him, which is so OK, and they've known each other since they were kids and when he became famous, he stayed with her and all his old friends (not so long ago, they broke up, and now he is with another girl, but that's beside the point). He is not a jerk, definitely, and he's pretty smart. \nBut you already know that stupid people can be funny, but only the intelligent ones can have a sense of humor.\n\nYou should check out Wikipedia, if you didn't already...

Famous artists and writers are often people with near-genius intelligence. It is difficult not to crack up when you are so aware of the world around you and all it's pain, sickness, and degradation. Many turn to drugs and alcohol to escape from their vivid view of reality. This is usually the beginning of the end. There is only so much chemical warfare your brain can allow before the nerves are shot, and bada-boom, into the loony bin you go. Hope this helps.

He's funny sometimes. I like the sketches. But when he's just talking and starts acting like a retard, well, he really does seem like a retard. Overall, the show is a bit dumbed down for my tastes. Sorry.

U2 have changed and innovated so much over the years that it is hard to say.\n\nThe early tours had a tremendous energy, rawness and passion about them, which reached it's zenith on the Joshua Tree Tour.\n\nThe Zoo TV / Zooropa tour was a unique undertaking, combining performance art, video loops, surrealism and a whole lot more. Backing it all up though, was the same passion - they just put sunglasses on it, so it was a little disguised!\n\nPop Mart really didn't work for me. They were touring on the back of their weakest album whilst trying to expand on some of the strongest live concepts devised. It all just fizzled out really, and they lost their way a little.\n\nThe last 2 tours have been similar in nature, and can perhaps be best described as a return to more typical stadium / arena shows and highlights how they have grown into very professional entertainers. At times perhaps a little too professional given where they started from, but if you catch them on a good night they show they still have "it" in quantities that most bands can't even begin to dream of.\n\nSo, my favourite...\n\nI think I would have to pick the Zooropa tour. I understand how Zoo TV left some people cold, but it was right on my wavelength really. In the UK the Zooropa shows were outdoors, and I saw them in a park in Leeds amongst (according to Bono at the time) "the biggest paying audience we have ever played in front of."\n\nBut what really did it for me was one moment during New Years Day, when despite being surrounded by all the videos, cameras, lights etc, and despite the size of the occasion, Bono was stripped right down to the core of his being. His knuckles white as he gripped the microphone, his voice breaking with the passion he was delivering. For that one second nothing else was there, only Bono with his beliefs back on his sleeve, and a passion that clearly burned so much it hurt.\n\nIt was both magical and inspiring in equal measure.

Hahaha!! Your'e a comedic genius!

Both comedians are hilarious.  However, I think Jerry is way ahead in the depth of his comedy.  His simple analysis of life's little foibles and everyday common occurances is incredibly lowkey.  That, is what makes him both unique and a modern day genius.  Hopefully,  he'll create another tv series to brighten Thursday nights again.  But then he is the "Master of His Domain".  Ha!
