This rant isn’t really related to the things I usually post/reblog, but I just had to spill my shit somewhere as this really pissed me off.
First, let me point out that I’m from Croatia, land of the technologically impaired. Second, let me point out that I am a huge fan of stand up comedy and I really respect people who do it. That is also one of the reasons I watch the Croatian version of many talent shows that are out there right now - I’m checking out the stand up comedians. No luck so far, we suck.
But, what happened today was beyond rude. This guy, Branimir Grabar, came on stage and after a somewhat sporadic and incoherent intro started RIPPING OFF Rhod Gilbert’s luggage sketch. It is well known on the Internet, I saw it yeeeeeeears ago. But Croatians probably haven’t, so here’s an idea - LET ME FUCKING STEAL IT. And not just the basic idea, noooo no. Let me translate it WORD FOR WORD.
So, while I can’t do anything to prevent this guy from being a total douche, the least I can do is write this and let off some steam, and maybe make his name appear in the search engines alongside such epithets as shitty, unfair, fake, copycat, dumb ass and dick head. Also, cocks.
I know the video above (and below) is in Croatian, but I’ll still post it as evidence, since he uses the same broken luggage prop as Rhod. Luckily he was so bad that they disqualified him even though they did not know of his evil plan.
