Dan Aykroyd is a great comedian. He is always funny and I love watching him do what he does best, so it pains me that I just learned of this Saturday Night Live bit called “Point Counterpoint,” part of “Weekend Update,” in which he squares off against Jane Curtin.
In this, he says one of the funniest lines I have heard lately: “Jane, you ignorant slut.”
Why is it so funny? It is just my kind of humor.
You watch it and I’m sure you’ll enjoy it as well. (Sorry I couldn’t embed it.)
