"Trust the Dust"

I don't really think any post of mine could do justice to Dustin Diamond's "stand-up comedy" performance this evening, and not because it was insanely funny. I know that in real life he is not Screech, the television tool, but I at least expected him to make an effort to be amusing. Instead, he spent a few minutes making wisecracks about Saved by the Bell (the only part that was mildly entertaining) before launching into a half-assed routine with recycled toilet humor the likes of which I probably heard in 3rd grade.

But even this wasn't too bad when compared to the numerous times during the show where someone in the audience would boo or make some smart-ass comment and he would literally talk about how much he wanted to kick their ass. As much as he tried to distance himself from the Screech character by cussing left and right, in the end it just really seemed like he was Screech: desperately trying to be "one of the guys" and failing miserably. And I couldn't even feel bad for him, that he will spend his whole life being typecast and the butt of everyone's jokes, since he was just a complete jackass to everyone in the audience.

It was just really really bizarre. I don't know how to describe it.
