“I love Steven Wright but as far as him being an influence, I can’t measure that. Let me say this… if I made potato chips, and I decided to pack them in a skinny can, people would say I was like Pringles. But what if I packed them in a bag?”
I'm not smart.
Is the humor that bagged chips are less creative or unique or "trying" than bagged chips so it's a diss on Steven wright? I don't know about their relationship so may be missing some info. Or is it that everyone is a potato chip in a bag so he's saying there isn't really a difference?
Not sure either, but my guess is that he was saying his humor is similar without copying Steven 1:1
And as far as my opinion, their styles aren't that similar. Steven didn't invent one liners, right?
