The guy’s pretty much pissed off every other network. From getting banned on MTV and Saturday Night Live for his stunts, there’s really nobody that he hasn’t shat on. But you can now add CNN to the list, after his appearance on CNN ended with him swearing on camera. Video is available here.

Andrew Dice Clay is making a living. If you don’t like his brand of comedy, don’t listen to him. It is a free country. Just turn him off if you don’t like him. But, personally, I think it takes a lot of nerve for George Carlin to criticize him. Clay is not any more obnoxious or offensive than Carlin is. I think George Carlin needs to take a look at some of the things HE says before he starts casting stones at Clay or anyone else.
I used to love Dice. Now he sucks. He just did that bit on CNN to get some publicity and press.
It didn’t work though. I didn’t hear anything about until I found it on the internet. Dice is so fat, old, ugly, bald and over!
He used to be handsome and now he looks like some fat crazy old man with greasy bad hair plugs! Lose weight Dice! Ya fat tub of crap! Ya look like Harry Knowles!
Clay is a nutcase. Watch that video. It is no act. He always was a nutcase, by the way. I’m surprised he stayed out of jail, but then again he is too much of a pussy to really do anything but mouth off.
Did anyone see that time when he cried on the Arsenio Hall Show? It’s bad enough he was on the Arsenio Hall Show, but he actually broke down and started crying. Then again, it’s bad that I was watching the Arsenio Hall Show, but I didn’t know any better then.
Unfortunately I use to work with Andrew ‘Silverstein’ back in the early ’90’s and it’s a frickin’ shame to see that 14 years later, he still has to HIDE HIS INSECURITIES through this totally ‘outdated’ hack bit…..it’s almost like watching the FAT ELVIS fit into his 1968 LEATHER COMEBACK SPECIAL OUTFIT…..Just hurts to watch Andrew fizzzzzzle and fizzzzzzzle away. GLAD I’M OUT OF THE B.S. OF HOLLYWOOD!!!!!
George Carlin may say dirty words, but that doesn’t make him an offensive jerk like Andrew “Dice” Clay. Carlin is a humanist, an insightful thinker and a sharp satirist who bases his routines on keen observation. “Dice” is just an egotistical slob who wanted to be a “big success in the Industry” by pushing a one-note persona. That’s why Carlin is still on top, and Clay is an entertainment footnote.
I don’t know if an of you are real dice fans or you just heard some of his mainstream filth and decided to pass judgement. He is a genius, listen to “The Day the Laughter Died” and then see how you feel. It’s an act people, take it for what it is.
Really Andrew Dice Clay’s jokes aren’t any more heavier than Chris Rock’s stuff. The only difference is that ones white and the other one is black. Wake up people!
“Andrew Dice Clay” is a persona. The guy is not a nut. It’s an act. It’s a character. Watch the video. Listen to what he says. It’s obvious he went on that show with the understanding that “the character” would be interviewed, not the performer.
“Jesus fucking Christ… with these guys. I come on the news for two seconds… an-and you want to say… every time I do an interview a guy wants to open his fucking mouth. Can’t even do a little fucking routine here.”
It was the “real guy” who ran a gym, not the character, so the real guy got pissed off when reality was brought up, and the illusion of “the routine” was broken.
Good, bad, love him, hate him, whatever. At least understand what you’re seeing.
The Day The Laughter Died is a great comedy album. His others are mediocre at best or just awful.
He’s just sad. Dice is not funny anymore. He’s washed up and doing guest spots on I Love The 80’s for crying out loud! And he looks awful.
Andrew Dice CLay is the man and the people talking shit about him…if you saw him in person you would turn into pussies, because you know he could kick your ass. You are the man Dice, don’t let some internet nerds tell you otherwise.

Dice was never anything special, and while I grant you the persona is an act, the man’s a one-trick pony. To compare him to Carlin—or even Chris Rock, for that matter—is abusrd. Of course, it’s only the Dice fans who do this, and let’s face it, anyone who could find this guy funny for any sustainable length of time are a special breed themselves.
Actually, that CNN spot was brilliant on dice’s part. And yes, he made it evidently clear that Dice was “still” a character and that Andrew Silverstien “Still” knew how to control him.
Dice isnt washed up yet and he knows good and well what he’s doing. And the arsenio bit was infact- very good acting. Do your research and look around for the footage of dice( err, andrew) that night. Actually, the guy is somewhat plotting his carrear in a kind of “Andy Kaufman”-esque manner. Only in retrospect will we be able to fully understand and appreciate him- much like Andy Kaufman.
dice is the best comedian of all time. his newer albums are better than his older ones. ‘filth’ is and unbeleivable album. Just because you don’t agree with his type of humor, doesn’t mean it is not genius. No other commedian interacts with the crowd like Dice does. No other comedian talks on the spot on stage like Dice does. “I fucked your mother in the ass and she had you.”
Dice Sucks.
His type of humor is dead
Whether you love him, hate him, or simply ignore him, everyone agrees that Andrew Dice Clay is an asshole. In general, people that respond to his humor can identify with his on-stage persona — they too are assholes of varying degrees of abrasiveness. I became an asshole a few years ago, which perhaps not coincidentally, was right around the time I first discovered Dice’s material.
Dice’s approach to humor is through stylized shock value, which is frankly a difficult routine to sustain for an entire career. But to me, Dice in his prime is more than a one-trick pony — he is quick on his feet and his riffing with audience members provides some of his funniest schtick.
But to say that Dice is not washed up is foolish. His fall from grace, which was so public and professionally catastrophic, was befitting only for a career that sought to destruct, insult, humiliate, and ejaculate on the human experience. His “meltdown” on CNN was a desperate attempt to jumpstart his dead career and it failed. Dice has become a tragicomedy.
He is a comedic genius.
Yo Rob,
You know, based on your post, it looks to me like you stick up for Clay more because you fear the guy and are desperate for some sort of comraderie rather than for his brand of comedy. Quit being his washrag and dislodge yourself from between his asscheeks please.
Andrew Dice Clay is the Norma Desmond of Brooklyn comics. “I am big. It’s the audiences which got smaller.”
“Andrew Dice CLay is the man and the people talking shit about him…if you saw him in person you would turn into pussies, because you know he could kick your ass.”
HAHAHAHA!!! Have you seen “Dice” in his new reality series on VH1? This fat old ugly tub of crap couldn’t kick ANYONE’S ass! He’s an unfunny, washed up loser. The world has changed and his so-called “comedy” isn’t funny anymore.
Comedic genius?! Christ. His humor is for litle boys in the 5th grade.
And let me guess, all you kids who have something positive to say about Dice here are 13 years old or younger, right? You can’t be an adult and find his act remotely funny.
Andrew Dice Clay’s “act” isn’t even remotely funny anymore. It’s just sad, really sad to see how badly he’s aged. Mick Jagger is over a decade older than him and he looks better than Clay. Clay’s a hack, I used to like him in his early years, but now? Not funny anymore. Just corny and lame. The same old tired shtick. You have to update your act with the times. George Carlin evolved his act, even Eddie Murphy doesn’t wear those leather suits from the 80’s anymore. Doing the same bit you did as a young man just looks pathetic doing it as heavyset, balding older man. Clay should forget comedy and just do character role parts in films and TV. His days as a “comedian” are done. And a lot of his so-called “fans” these days are just fortysomething losers who grew up watching him and are just as fat, bald and pathetic as he is now. Give me Chris Rock any day over “Dice”. The man’s done.
I’m listening to Dice right now on Serius Raw Dog. He is simply not funny. IMO he was never funny. I just don’t see the humor in buffoonish, obnoxious rambling insults. Like the new kid at school who desperately wants to be a part of the in crowd, he resorts to over the top insults.
I thought he was good as Ford Fairlane. He makes a great Guido. But that’s all.
He could take a lesson from Artie Lange, who is very intelligent and knows how and when to use the Guido schtick.
Don’t insult Dice, just ignore him.
Dice is a moron. Anyone who likes him is a moron. He caters to the lowest possible denominator. The fact that some people enjoy his feeble “comedy” is upsetting to say the least. Dice is what is wrong with western civilization. There are cleverer adaption of nursery rhymes in your average play school. Anyone who spends there money on his DVDs does not deserve to own money, since they have proved they are no mentally old enough to handle it.
Jesus Rick can you cry like a little baby anymore? So just because someone likes something you don’t like they’re a moron? Wow. And if you think Andrew Dice Clay is the problem with western civilization then you truly are an idiot.
manny, can I point you in the direction of british performers Jim Davison, and bernard Manning. I think you might like them. They’re both ignorant bumwits too. Since that appears to be your type of humour I think you’d like them. If you like Dice clay, you could also try writng poo and wee and penis on a bit of paper then looking at it when you want a giggle. it’s twice as funny as dice clay and it’s cheaper than buying his videos. It’s kind of scary that you have the vote.
Yo dice’s stuff is not for pussies. I honestly feel there haven’t been many that can hold a candle to him. We’re talkin greats like Rodney Dangerfeild, Eddie Murphy, Dice Man. Hell, I can only think of those three right now that caliber entertainer is so rare. It pisses me off when people even think of saying has been. How about legend?
I just watched a clip of Andrew on youtube and he looks like somebody’s old grandpa now. He use to be at least half decent looking back in the day..
Is he funny on stage? Sure! But honestly, all the videos I’ve seen of him off stage, makes him appear very unpleasant to be around. It’s like he takes everything very personally, and could go off in a fit of rage an violence at any moment. There are some videos on youtube of him backstage with or being interviewed by tom green, and the tension in the air caused by Clay’s seriousness is so thick you can cut it with a knife. Everybody around him is forced to agree with him, because he puts out this “I could go off at the drop of a hat” vibe. He seems to add stress to every social situation he’s in. I don’t think I would even want to be in the same room with such a confrontational man.
Dice Clay CANNOT be compared to any comedic greats. Whatsoever. Those sticking up for him are probably Carlos Mencia/Dane Cook fans who resort to date rape along with their lame frat brothers. He’s simply an asshole who’s trying to ride the entertainment wave by trying to say the most outlandish, lame s–t he can say to get attention. Plus he’s a washed-up piece of gorilla dung who’s probably becoming endomorphic (I know… big word for you Dice Clay fans out there) from all the working out and protein-pounding he’s done in the years.
I TOTALLY agree with what Hank said with the exception that I don’t find Andrew funny at all. I like watching his shows for one reason. To laugh at him and NOT to laugh with him. The guy is a TOTAL loser!!
I agree with Hank in that I always felt that I would NEVER be comfortable being with Dice in the same room. It lQQks like if you should say one thing that Dice would disagree with and he would probably end up tearing the room down. The guy has a MAJOR temper.
I don’t know if he REALLY is a Jew or not but he MOST certainly is an embarrassment to Jewish people everywhere and most Jewish people don’t behave the way he does.
Someone please tell me what is soooo genius about his comedy. I could write the same comedy as Andrew Dice Clay watch….
“Fuck, Fuck, Fuck” “I shoved my cock up a woman’s ass” Now start laughing everyone….I mean seriously what is sooo original about his STUPID act?? All he does is curse his head off and a bunch of his moron friends start laughing. ONLY a 10 year old would find curse words funny.
UPDATED GRAMMAR!!

Clay was never funny! He is just a fat asshole. Who laughs at the fat bastard, people like Jesse, with an IQ of 26.
Dice was funny on his The Day The Laughter Died album. And on his one SNL hosting appearance. But after Ford Fairlane bombed so did his career. The more hair he lost and weight he gained the more unfunny he became. He sucks now.
Dice is bile vomit of the worst kind. He’s about as funny as testicular cancer and should go back to entertainment obscurity where he belongs. He SUCKS!
genius? people must have a pretty low artistic standard to find his cheap ass routine funny past five minutes in 1987. there is no great meaning behind his work, and his character is as one-dimensional as they get. if you serious think this guy is some kind of comedic legend, then your sense then you must have difficulty grasping complex concepts and need your entertainment dumbed down to a degree that i simple expletive laced insult or sexual comment is pure comedic gold. there is no grand plan or brilliant method behind his work, he’s the s.s. titanic on the sea of his own giant ego, and can’t sink fast enough.
Grew up watching the Dice Man. And his humor is just as funny now as it was then. Beneath the civilized veneer that I have to put on for civilization, at the end of the day I just want to hunt, fight, and have sex.
I also enjoy George Carlin, Dennis Miller, Bill Hicks, Rodney Dangerfield, Chris Rock, Eddie Murphy, Sam Kinnison, Artie Lange, and Dennis Leary along with others.
Those who judge someone’s character on one of the aspects of what they enjoy as entertainment might as well be bigoted, racist, sexist, ageist, or homophobic.
George Carlin is 900000000000 times funnier than Dice, and he’s dead for Christ’s sake.
Dice is even more terrible now that most people view him as “washed up.” This probably pisses him off even more and causes him to produce even shittier comedy than before. Suck a big cock, Dice!
Dice is capable of being really funny, but chooses to be boring instead.
It’s almost like he’s deliberately trying to ration it out or something.
