Evil Genius
I'm not going to try and excuse this comedy sketch. It's a malignant, vituperative attack on blue-collar mores and it made me cringe with embarassment. I was also trying so hard not to laugh that I nearly choked on my own fist.
I have the same reaction to a lot of the 'talent' that appears on talent shows. And there is an underlying moral that applies to all of us (well, me, anyway): wanting to do something well takes learning and practice, hard lessons and hard graft.
At the same time I have the sense that a lot of talent shows deliberately pick people who are laughably bad; they seem designed to appeal to our desire to take pleasure in others' lack of talent, failure and bad fortune.

Meheh, love the last line.

Oh yes, it's all about schadenfreude!
