AM I the only one who finds it only "sorta" funny?

I'm with you on the "sorta" funny, but the ones that are funny are hilarious. My faves:
10:17pm The camera cuts to actor and non-winner Brían F. O'Byrne, he of the í that makes me írrítated that Í myself am not Írísh and alas laddíe cannot have an í of me very own. I hear his Tony-losing performance in Doubt is not to be missed.
10:46pm Bernadette Peters comes out, says "piazza," and leaves.
"Some of us have it worse, you know, Dana. Some of us are dating lesbian men. Okay? C'mon."
Yes last year's was funnier, but this year's report had many moments of comic genius. By the time it got to Aretha Franklin, my co-workers had all gathered round to find out exactly what had reduced me to helpless laughter.
I think theatreboi needs a sense of humour though.
Nothing precious, plain to see, don't make a fuss over me. Not loud, not soft, but somewhere inbetween. Say sorry, just let it be the word you mean.
"Then they bring out an actual live guy, Jesse L. Martin, to do a little song and dance and milk the now three-year-old Chicago marketing cash cow. Maybe I missed something, but how does "Razzle Dazzle" have even the slightest bit to do with dead people? I'll Google it."
This is funny. I felt the same way. I am glad I am not the only one.
If you're famous, you'll be parodied at some point. I do think the "hee hee Jackman we all know you're gay" jokes get kind of tired the 659th time around, but what do I know? Anyway, this was a mixed bag- hilarious when it worked, but it didn't always work.
