John Curtin hipped us to the reasoning behind the Heffron quote from LCS III, Episode #307 (The one where Heffron says, “I respect all of you for laughing at me.” Curtin says, quite rightly, that Heffron’s statement was in response to a Ralphie May quote from an October 1 story that was splashed all over the wire services. The money quote:
May says comedy isn’t always about getting the laughs, it’s about pushing the boundaries and moving stand-up forward.
“That’s why I don’t have respect for audiences that laugh at ‘Remember when you were a kid?’ jokes. … Let’s move on, let’s try something new,” he said.
Hey, y’all! Ralphie got all up in Heffron’s shit… an’ shit! He had no choice but to get up in Ralphie’s shit… an’ shit. Fo shizzle… er something like that. Read the rest of May’s moaning here.
