You Wanna See Something Really Funny?
You Wanna See Something Really Funny? by Roxanne McDonald

Maybe the one saving grace for Dice Undisputed will be the hilarity—not of the show itself or in the stand-up clips but in the adventures of Mutt and Jeff. |
I hate to harp on Dice, but there is one funny element to the show, what with the two friends like boys with short attention spans and even shorter memories of slights and transgressions between them. The stand-up clips are not all that funny. There’s nothing all that unique or gut-busting about “Dice Undisputed” in general. But as I watched the re-run of the re-run of a show that had just barely hit the airwaves (or digital system or whatever), I found myself chuckling…at the quirky Mutt and Jeff, or better yet, Ralph Kramden and Ed Norton, relationship.
Dice rags Todd in the airport, outside the airport, on the first floor of the hotel, the top floor of the hotel, outside the hotel, on the street, down the road, in the car, etc., etc., etc.. Intermittently, however, he seems to forget to be frustrated or “tired out” by Todd, and Dice gets all
close and buddy-buddy, sharing memories of his first road days, challenging Todd to be able to lie on back and throw pillow far enough up that it hits the ceiling, or calling Todd back to the rental car after he has “fired” him, telling him to “come on, let’s make up” and then, as Todd sheepishly returns and after the buds have hugged, says, “Hey, who wawnt chew heah, huh?”
They snipe and snap and Dice pokes and pinches with insults. They separate. They re-unite, the skinny, gangly lad and the big bullish brute, arm-in-arm. Friends again.
