Letterman's Top 10 Dumb Guy Complaints about LOTR

10. I expected something a little more, you know, hobbity.
9. Middle-earth is clearly shot in Regular Earth.
8. It was too long, and it wasn't a cartoon.
7. I spilled butter on my Twizzlers!
6. My name is Stu- Why can't there be a hobbit named Stu?
5. Where the hell is Chewbacca?
4. If there's magic, why isn't there a rapping kangaroo?
3. I couldn't focus on the movie- I was still mad about losing money on the Giants.
2. Frodo ignored me- He thinks he's All That.
1. I haven't seen it yet, I was too busy governing California.

Just reminds me why I think Dave hit his peak around 1985. Not at all funny, imho.

It has nothing to do with LOTR or fanboys...

Letterman's top 10s are NEVER funny....I thought they weren't even suppose to be funny.

It is my belief that people can be divided in the following groups:

There are smart people, who find Letterman funny

-and-

There are dumb people, who find him not funny at all.

While I don't want to sound like a dick: YES! To say "Letterman isn't my cup of tea" is okay. To say "Letterman has not been funny for 10 years" is just obnoxious.

And, of course, we all know that Conan is the true king of late night.

This is true.

Letterman, however, is terrible. He's arrogant, annoying, and his audience kisses his ass the entire show. he can give them one look and they give him a standing O.

NBC has the best late night hosts. no contest. Leno does terrible interviews, but its still overall better than Letterman or Kilborn.
