Andrew Dice Clay

Andrew Dice Clay (born September 29, 1957) is an American comedian and actor.

Commercial failure

After Ford Fairlane failed at the box office, effectively ending Clay's movie career, a standup performance at Madison Square Garden was given a movie release as Dice Rules in 1991. It failed commercially due to many theaters refusing to show it, and by the release in 1992 of his album, 40 Too Long, Clay was almost forgotten.

His 1993 album The Day The Laughter Died, Part 2 was recorded in front of a small audience at Dangerfield's in New York. On the album, he reprised the concept of The Day The Laughter Died, verbally insulting his audience. Apart from the audience baiting, he attacked American movie critics Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert for giving both Dice Rules and Ford Fairlane bad reviews. He also responded to a request for a nursery rhyme, which he had previously refused to do on The Day The Laughter Died, by stating "You don't know how much I hate those fucking poems, you have no idea how I hate those fucking poems, I wish I'd never thought of those fucking poems." Following the release of The Day The Laughter Died, Part 2, Dice vanished from the media spotlight for two years.
