I'm So Old, I Remember When Joe Piscopo Was Actually Funny

From his 1985 classic -- seriously -- album New Jersey...


...please enjoy "The Nightclub" (featuring June Foray and Bill Scott as Rocky and Bullwinkle)...



...and "Good Morning," with June and Bill and Piscopo as David Hartman.



Or is he?

Seriously, this is great stuff -- as is the HBO special some of it derives from. My theory is the steroids destroyed his sense of humor.

This album was so strange -- most of the humor needed something visual. Yet I still prefer his version of "My Oh My".

In retrospect, my conclusion is that Joe Piscopo was never actually funny; he was just in close enough proximity to actually funny people long enough for some of it to rub off for a little while.

But whatever reason, his decline and fall was meteoric - hard to think of somebody who disappeared faster than he...
