Dennis Miller obscure reference pop-up system   (+2, -2)  [vote for, against]
Never miss the joke

Simulcast by HBO. Enable it on your specially equipped TV, and every obscure reference is accompanied by a bubble with a brief explanation (a la VH1 pop-up videos), and perhaps a "for further reference" notation.

Who Is Dennis Miller? http://en.wikipedia.../wiki/Dennis_Miller
A kind of bearded, TV UnaBubba it seems... [zen_tom, Nov 12 2004]

Dennis Miller is too slow- yet he regards himself-so it seems as quick. It would be impossible for me to not get a joke of his. I'd already thought of it long ago-while yawning. That being the case, I keep TV on MUTE when I see his mug.

I find myself laughing at how long it takes for him to "GET TO" the punch line.

I've never seen him, but if he's a snappy, right-of-centre take-no-prisoners kind of guy, then I think we've got our own version right here...
