as howard always says, "how do the people who complain about him know
so much about his shows?"  although he is quite offensive at times,
the fact is that if you listen to him long enough, you know that he
gets around to insulting just about everyone and that makes him funny.
the other thing to realize is that his show is just an act (i.e. very
controlled environment).  in fact, he is not as funny on the talk shows
where he is not the host.
