Reminds me of a story about Eddie Murphy and 48 hours..
I was told that every scene of that movie was shot twice.. One where he swore all the way through his dialogue, and another where he did not.
Apparently the two versions are out there, and I always thought the toned down version I saw was just dubbed.. But maybe that was it..

The amount of swearing doesn't bother me as much as whether the comedy is funny or not..
Eddie Murphy is funny, and swears like a trooper... Just like Richard Prior (Bless his soul), who also swore like a trooper on stage.. These new comedians like the guy you bumped into makes me think of comparing the likes of Vanilla Ice to Eminem, for example. You may not like either, but it's obvious which has some talent..

Moogs, I think you are quite right to think this guy has no talent.
I think the swearing is a way of trying to cover that up, and as such just makes it all the more obvious to people of discerning taste, I guess.
