>>>I thought he was mildly amusing, but beyond that, just too crass at a low level.

>Exceedingly crass, but typified by the "man in drag" meme you described. A lot of Little Britain is too crass for my taste also. E.g. the Emily and Florence skits mostly weren't funny. Seems that the line between funny and poor taste is very fine, as Sasha Cohen also discovered when trying to repeat his Borat success.

>Is Jackass funny?
My wife and I saw Jackass years ago. Half of it was hysterical and half of it was just plain stupid.
Sometimes crass can be funny. I rather doubt you'd have occasion to watch it, but Clerks and Clerks 2 are just insanely funny. I would get banned in a minute if I repeated the jokes. They are hugely offensive - but I have never laughed so hard at a movie in my life.
