It's nothing like Carlin.

It's theft of his work.

Pick one.

I read it like:

Mimic, pace of tone and body language are parts of the work.

That they don't hit the main part (I.e the humor) is just the icing.

Perhaps I'm top lenient though.

The problem with that is that you can’t protect “pace of tone” and “body language” under law.

Ripped it from YouTube last night to add to my media server; curiously it's no longer available on youtube this morning... (at least the original Dudesy upload I'd grabbed, there's re-uploads)
