Until now, I had no idea this douchebag existed.

Adrian... I love your wildly gesticulating self. Also "his only degree is antiperspirant" is GENIUS

Don't worry, 15 minutes goes by reeeeally fast.

#6, Brittany, Lindsay, Paris and Nicole's 15 minutes have dragged on for a very, very long time...

#5, are you kidding? SITC was the gayest show, EVER! Straight women don't talk like that; Gay men, DO!

#7 - not me, and not the fags i hang out with. i certainly don't know any gay guys who would engage in a protracted freak-out because they farted in front of the guy they just fucked. this is worthy of an entire 30 minute episode? get a hold of yourself, girlfriend. please.

FYI, his show got cancelled, and the episodes they keep airing are all from the short 3 months that it was in production.

I saw this guy open for David Cross at UW a few years ago. He's far from the worst comedian out there, but he's definitely not good.

First of all, get his fucking name right:

GREG BEHRENDT


Also, he wrote the wildly successful "HE'S JUST NOT THAT INTO YOU" along with a few other titles.

(not defending him though)

In other words, he's not as big of a waste as you thought. Perhaps you could have tried doing a CURSORY SEARCH on Google.

And you're still a bitchy, whiny, hating waste of pay for The Stranger

are you sure that's not the guy from that 90's alt rock band that sang "pretty fly for a white guy" and "gotta keep 'em separated"? can't remember the band name right now...

@10

Where do you live?

@11

The Offspring; arguably just as douchebaggy.

Agreed. He's like Dane Cook only older and less funny. If that's at all possible.

fabulous point. only when i'm not dressed.

Well first off, his show was just cancelled so you and your underwear won't be subjected to his un-coolness much longer.

I love the guy though. His book has helped clueness woman (myself included) figure out to move on when guys... "just aren't that into you!" I wish I had read his book in high school and college, I would have saved myself a lot of angst.

I thought his show was rather cheesy but much better than a lot of stupid shows out there (HELLO RACHAEL RAY THE GHETTO GOURMET!)

When Dan and Josh and any other old farts retire/die from the The Stranger, I hope it falls into the hands of Adrian! and Ari.

I saw him open up for David Cross at the U a few years ago. He was actually really funny, if trying to hard to pull off the "I'm still 20" vibe.
Best joke: a trick to remember his last name.

Bacon
Eggs
Ham
Red
Eggs
Nipples
Dog
Toys

For some reason that has always stuck with me.

I totally hate him now and feel used and betrayed that he ever made me laugh. I guess I'm. . . just not that into him.

I saw his show for about 5 mins once and thought, "oh he's a toned downed, cheesey, TV version of Tom Lyekis"

Greg is actually a really nice guy...and he's aware that he's now "the old guy at the rock concert"...

And I've seen him be really funny on stage. Bits about "There might be cake!" and "Ripped like Jesus" come to mind.

I wouldn't compare him to Dane Cook as much as I'd consider him an older Nick Swardson.

Now, I admit that I haven't read his book, and I couldn't watch his daytime television show based on that book...

...but the book is being turned into a movie...and the cast of the movie is: Jennifer Aniston, Jennifer Connelly and (just signed) Scarlett Johannson.

Don't hate. The guy is living my dream.

Hey Peter,
Unless they spend 1/2 the movie making out with each other, I predict it will suck!!!!

OK, Greg Behrendt aside, does anyone else think it would have been cool if they had ended "Sex in the City" by having a serial killer stalk, sleep with and kill all four of those bitches? Shit, they could have extended for another season with that plotline.

I understand, adrian. Why you hate him so is because he is one of the many symptoms of the total collapse of American integrity. Celebrity worship should be a crime unto itself, punishable by banning from every place of business in the world. I also agree about Sex and the City. That a half hour was devoted (each week, right?) to their "misadventures" or what-the-hell-ever, is a sick, sad thing that should have culminated in them all being punched in the throats for being entirely too self-important sluts. Similarly, I hate... well, a lot of people in the same fashion. Damn, can't think of any names.

Hold on...
Got one...
...

try, uh... well, Paris Hilton is obvious. How about Oprah? I hate her?
Well! I DO!
