We can all picture Andrew Dice Clay's stupid haircut. His long sideburns curling in at his jaw, perfectly razored; his sleeveless leather jacket with its collar popped so high it hovers over his head like a rent-a-Dracula. I can even see the way he holds his cigarette, between his thumb and index finger like your typical moronic meathead. His cigarette is the prop that holds his act together.
(Later in life when Clay quit smoking, he would apparently hold a cigarette in his hand for five minutes—the duration it takes to smoke one—without lighting it, then he'd throw it away.) The cigarette is everything to the Diceman persona.

Clay has released several best-selling comedy CDs, including The Day the Laughter Died, and starred in multiple one-hour comedy specials, including The Diceman Cometh and Indestructible.
The Day the Laughter Died is a strange double album, released in 1990 and produced by Rick Rubin for Geffen Records. It was Clay's second album after Dice, which went Gold in the U.S. Dice had the sweet smell of success, and as a comic he sold out stadiums as a dumbed down version of Lenny Bruce. His vulgarities and charisma stage presence were dynamite in this country. PC mobs boycotted his shows. Sinead O'Connor cancelled her performance on SNL because she didn't want to share the episode with him. His unapologetically masculine behavior was controversial, but still, in 1990 everyone knew who Andrew Dice Clay was.
Which is why it makes absolutely no sense to release an album like The Day the Laughter Died as your follow-up. The album is nearly unlistenable, closer to Merzbow than Billy Crystal. Typically the sound of an audience member's footsteps stomping angrily out of the club would be edited out during post production—however, here it was embraced. People walking out is the main focus. Dice calls out anyone who dares leave his set, creating a scene for the audience to clean up, tearing viciously into his audience with all of his knives.

Dice could have chosen nearly any theater in the U.S. to record this album. With Rubin backing it, the funds were there. But instead he chose Dangerfield's, a small dive club in upper east Manhattan owned by his friend and mentor Rodney Dangerfield. The crowd seems mostly unfamiliar with Dice. I'm not sure if the show was promoted, or even announced. It was certainly unadvertised, only a few Diceheads in the audience. You can hear one person's lone laughter exploding throughout the special—that of Rick Rubin himself.
Andrew Dice Clay Quotes
Dice's set is largely improvisational. Whatever passes through Dice's head is relayed and beaten into his audience to agitating extremes. Jokes about incest are common. Dice even accuses a father of being sexually attracted to his daughter who is seated directly next to him. The entire special is totally crude, off-putting, jarring, and offensive. It is absolutely one of the most revolting things I've ever heard.
By the end of the show, I was entirely lost in the world of Dice rambles. During the last ten minutes, Dice yells the words “Hour” and “Back” about a hundred times, screaming into the microphone, his voice cracking in desperation. After five minutes of bantering like a drunken maniac, he asks if the audience gets it. “You don't get it but you're laughing. That's what it's all about. Doesn't matter if it's funny. Doesn't matter if anybody gets it. . . You laughed again, you don't even know what you're laughing at. I don't know what I'm talking about, you don't know what you're laughing at. But it's funny.”
This quote sums up the entire special pretty accurately. The audience has no clue what Dice is talking about and Dice has even less of an idea. It's so absurd that it's funny, not immediately but as a slow burn, one that simmers and sticks with you, for better or worse.
What separates Dice from other moronic conservative comedians, like Adam Carolla, is his ability to turn the joke in on himself. As crude and offensive as he might be, Dice is playing a character. His character is an idiot, spewing nonsense about homophobia, misogyny, everything in the book. Not to spread hate, quite the opposite. His act isn't supposed to be taken literally. Unfortunately, many of his fans do take it literally. This is where the problem lies—less in Dice's act itself, more how his fans interpret and run with his words. Autotek mx5000 owners manual. Of course Dice feeds into this, taking advantage of his fans like Trump takes advantage of his mindless followers. Is his act wrong? Probably. Is it harmful? I believe so. Is it ridiculously absurd and enjoyable more than anything else? Definitely.
In an episode of his cancelled Showtime show, Dice finds himself wondering, “Would the world be a better place without me?” Tough question. My guess is probably not. I think he's giving himself a little too much credit. At the end of the day, he's a dinosaur in the world of comedy. If Dice hadn't come along, someone else would have. It's not too difficult to tell dirty nursery rhymes and berate an audience with toxic masculinity. The main difference between Dice and Larry the Cable Guy is that Dice made this superbly bizarre and somewhat admirable artistic leap into the world of avant-garde. Whether his intentions were as such remains cloudy, but The Day the Laughter Died is still a singular experience.

Andrew Dice Clay is proud to be America's controversial and outrageous comic of all time.
And it’s that persona that has made Clay “The Undisputed “Heavy Weight King of Comedy.” And now he adds a new nickname to his resume when he premieres his first stand-up special in 17 years on Showtime on December 31 st simply titled Andrew Dice Clay: INDESTRUCTIBLE.
Over the last few years, Clay has been going through resurgence; he had a critically acclaimed recurring role on the final season of HBO’s Entourage. And next summer, The DiceMan will be co-starring alongside Cate Blanchett and Alec Baldwin in Woody Allen’s forth-coming feature which comes out Summer 2013.
To this day, Clay remains the only performer banned for life from MTV. When he released his debut album, DICE, the parental advisory label simply read 'Warning: This album is offensive.'
But despite all the media backlash; Dice’s rise to fame was meteoric, selling out Madison Square Garden two nights in a row along hundreds of other sports arenas from coast to coast. As Dice proudly boasted, “I’ve done so many concerts tours that I can’t even remember their names.”And in 1992, Dice performed in front of the largest audience ever by a comedian when he shared the stage with Guns & Roses at the Rose Bowl.
Along the way, Dice starred in numerous feature films including: The Adventures of Ford Fairlane, appeared in several HBO specials (The Dice Man Cometh), released best selling DVDs (No Apologies, Dice Rules!), a string of most multi-gold and platinum selling CDs (Day The Laughter Died; Filth and Face Down, Ass Up) and profiled everywhere from Entertainment Tonight to Nightline. And in 2009, he appeared on Celebrity Apprentice where he proudly admits he was thrown off the show first.
The secret to Dice's continuing success is that he has a lot more going for him than shocking and being a potty mouth. Clay is a disciplined, talented and versatile performer/actor. His acting roles and credits clearly show that Clay is capable of being just as funny without the dirty words.
But more than anything, audiences continue to crave that excitement and demand to see The Diceman and Clay is more than happy to oblige and prove the comic icon is INDESTRUCTIBLE.
