The level of funny would have to be really, really high to make up for the antics. I tried valiantly but never "got" him.Back in the day, I thought he was one of the most annoying celebrities that ever lived. Then I saw how savage & hilarious he was in roasts and developed an affinity for him. ...And I subsequently developed an appreciation for his uniqueness in the comedy business.

I get ya. Probably in my 40s before I could appreciate his schtick. But then I get Jonathan Winters until Robin William's came alongThe level of funny would have to be really, really high to make up for the antics. I trieddidn't get Jonathan Winters valiantly but never "got" him.
