And like Gilbert on Howard's Show, he will eventually get the hook, only to return at a later date when you are hungry for him again.. like Chinese food. There it is exactly... Mu Shu Mort.

Oh Steve, I agree that Gilbert is a scream, and an acquired taste.

But I don't get the comparison to Morty. Once in awhile a few of his lines border on clever.

but the endless parade of obscure cryptic references....boring.

The mangling of names, snarljim? ha ha ha! a quarter rattle at best.

Then the uncalled for ugly side where he insults people, whats funny about that?

His comedy reminds me of the quote by Getrude Stein "there is no there there".

Don't know how many here will get the reference, but Mortay's appearence here is something akin to a lost dog taken in by a fraternity or sorority.. Many in the house adore it... others find it endlessly annoying.. I'm of the opinion that the Morto can be house-broken. Otherwise, we take him to the pound and drop him off.

If my good friend BuffyMommy accepts my sincere apology then she may pet me as well.

Perfecto!! a lost dog, that is the perfect reference.

If he becomes housebroken maybe he'll be more accepted.
I would suggest neutering be done as soon as possible.
