You are not alone. I gave him a chance, several in fact, but I never even snickered. Maybe his other characters are funny but "Keith" is not funny to me at all.

I don't like how Nathan fucks with people for real, but other than that I think he is brilliant and hilarious. I think he is the most talented and funny comedian alive.

The Ray Amsley self defense videos may be my favorite. Just pure gold.

those ARE great. Honestly just the sound of the pegleg hitting the pavement cracks me up. I remember he made a trailer for a Ray Amsley movie but I guess once Keith caught on that got scrapped.

I've never been a fan either. It strikes me as the kind of humor that is only going to appeal to a certain segment regardless of the specific subject matter he deals in.

Though I will say the few times he fucked with people at E3 was hiliarious. Mostly because the people had no idea what was going on and security took a while to intervene.

I love Keith's stuff. It takes quite the set to do what he does, and his physical comedy is nothing short of brilliant in my eyes.

But enough about Keith, let's get back to why people do and do not like Rolfe's brand of entertainment.

He makes some funny reviews but other than that his videos hadn't influenced me at all. Also, he needs to stop adding additional characters in his reviews.
