College Humor=College Radio

This Shecky article says that indie comedy is at the same point where punk rock was when Blondie came out. I beg to differ. Here's how I break it down:

* The '90s was like the '70s punk revolution because that's when the DIY alternative comedy model was established, with David Cross being the Ramones and Patton Oswalt being the Sex Pistols

* The current decade is like the '80s-College Humor is the most prominent supporter of indie comedy much like college stations in the '80s spun REM and The Replacements


So expect the next decade (the teens, the tweens, the twins?) to be like the '90s alternative revolution. One comic will be like Kurt Cobain, bringing alternative comedy to the masses.

I see myself either being like Radiohead in the next decade

OK Comedy

or like 4 Non Blondes

What's goin' on...with this guy in the front row?
