Adam Gertler Might Not Be the Comedic Genius We Thought

As we saw earlier today, editing can be done to put someone in a bad light... and, conversely, it can be done to put someone in a good light—or a better light than they were in in reality.Check out...

Is it me or does anyone else think Adam is not funny? I haven't really seen humor from him. It most like buffoonery. To me, he is trying way too hard to be funny. Like the tripping on the Coast Guard ship.

He's a little too Jerry Lewis for me. Kinda reminds me of the have fork will travel guy. And I don't like either of them. I like Adam as he is, but the funny attempts do not work on me.

Alton ... he's funny.

I just think, as he says he is still a child, or has reverted back to acting out his childhood on national TV. Remember that kid in school who tried so hard to be funny but actually ended up showing their stupidity, to me that is Adam. Time to grow up, get over the fact that your restaurant failed, and get on with life. There is nothing stopping you from correcting your mistakes and trying again. But you need to make sure you realise what the mistakes were, not just guess at them but analyse and summarize, then make a business plan. Life is only lived if we learn and move on from the past. Next food network star, nope not in my book.

And Alton's humor is witty too.
I'm a sucker for language humor, like puns and word play, that Alton does.

Attention Seeker

Adam reminds me of some of my students who act out in class, say inappropriate things, and make stupid jokes all out of a bid for attention.

Don't you wonder if maybe they asked him to be this way so it would bring controversary and interest? Every year they have one or two that stand out because of how they act. Do you think it is a coincidence? I don't.
