I have to agree, and Kurtz proves it with this line:
"Anyone in the world, can learn how to work in tech support."
That's why UF is funny. That's why it's OK to mock these people. Because anyone can learn. If it was damn near impossible to learn how to operate a computer, then, yes, I could see a certain elitism with those of us in TS.
Carrey a comedic genius? Not so much. He is rather funny, and has the facial range of several well-drawn cartoon characters, but he's not a genius. Lenny Bruce, Bill Hicks, Bill Murray, John Belushi, hell, even Denis Leary if you can forgive him for the Quaker State commercials, they are comedic geniuses. Jim Carrey is simply good at making faces. This is not to say I do not find Jim funny. I do, and often. But I also find George Bush funny. Doesn't make him a comedic genius.
