Isn't this just what we call an "in joke"? Kids do it in the playground so the group can laugh at some poor sod without him or her understanding the insult.
If the reference is really obscure but you get it, then it makes you feel good inside. That's why Alexei Sayle has a strong following in the Tao Temple.

He used to do the news on SNL. He left there and his career crashed. He then for some reason I'll never understand got hired to do Monday Night Football, his carrer crashed again. He tried to do an HBO comedy show and his career crashed again. I hope he has good career insurance
Originally posted by PocketKingsThe whole concept of having a little comic relief on Monday Night Football wasn't the worst idea in the world. They just chose the wrong guy. Dennis Miller...terrible choice. Far too cerebral. Dennis Leary however...chain smoking in the announcer's booth, making all sorts of politically incorrect comments. I wouldn't mind seeing that.
