Apparently "dumb" coffee is not good enough to drink.

"Dumb Starbucks Coffee" was shut down after just a few days on Monday by Los Angeles County health inspectors, who posted a "notice of closure" near the front door of the shop in the Los Feliz neighborhood.

The closure, for not having a valid permit, happened just hours after Canadian comic Nathan Fielder took credit for the stunt, saying in a press conference that he was planning on using footage for his Comedy Central Show "Nathan For You."

Fielder had hoped to keep the faux Starbucks open until Friday, and even looked to open a "branch" in New York City, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

1. Starbucks has deep pockets

that's all I am saying.

2. Comedy seems much, much lamer these days.

3. I agree. I don't really get it...

what is funny though, is that one would go to so much trouble for a lame joke...if one can even explain how it is a joke.

4. Maybe he should have gotten Joaquin phoneix to run the counter....
