he's like politics. it's fun to have an opinion on him, but actually sitting through the material is boring.

He was early anti-comedy, which will never be mainstream regardless of the era.

Seconding.
Also, his comedic style never took off because it was never that funny to mass audiences.
His humor only appealed to those who were 'in' on his jokes and the wierd shit he was doing.
I've always considered him more of an artist than a comedian. His entire life was like some sort of really bizarre performance art.

what do you mean his style never took off? people loved him on SNL and he got lots of jobs after that. To me it seems like the type of comedy you get laughed at so they play it off as them not really trying "it's anti-comedy bro" sad clown etc.
