What’s so funny about Boston?

Sure, we’ve got the wicked awesome accents and a unique vocabulary - frappe? rotary? - but the best side-splitters to come out of Beantown and its ’burbs are its comics.

what isn't funny are all these: Red Sox Nation/Yuppie,phonies who've moved here from all over the country,taken over the city, and try and co-opt. our culture.Imaitation isn't always the sincerest form of flattery.They are mediocre souless bores, about as funny as hemroids. Actually it's hillarious giving them a hard time.

Look at that list of names. A lot of Irish names on there. I think for some reason people of Irish and Italian descent tend to have a great sense of humor. They're just hard-wired to be funny. Plenty of Irish and Italians in Boston for sure. Either that or it's something in the water. LOL.

Dane Cook who is half Irish and half Italian is the best selling comic in America. So maybe there is something to my theory. LOL.
