Enough With the Charlie Sheen

Alright here's my issue: Charlie Sheen has been funny for like 18 years. Everyone knows he loves blow and hookers (but who doesn't). The issue is that nowadays you don't even have to dig around for it. It's too easy. I miss the good ol' days where people actually had to have some sort of inside knowledge to know who loved the finer things in life (again, blow and hookers). For every cheap Charlie Sheen shot out there, there are dozens of more sophisticated and funny jokes out there if you just dig around. Is someone you know drugged up as hell? Instead of the usual Charlie Sheening, dig a little deeper and go with a Richard Pryor comment. Friend go home with the sluttiest girl at the bar? Instead of "winning,"  how about going with a Eddie Murphy zinger? After all, he got caught "giving a ride to" a transvestite whore. All I'm saying is, Charlie Sheen has sort of spoiled us. It's just too easy. True humor has a little thought and originality in it. Plus, it's just really played out. Really, really, really played out.
