any good standup comedians?
« on: January 17, 2012, 11:24:01 AM »
i know too few, and each typically have only 2-3 specials :(
i love dave chapelle, bill hicks of course (his preachy bits are a bit.. boring, quite frankly, but i love his everyday bits), older carlin stuff (hes too shouty in the later bits), john pinette is great, gabriel iglesias, eddie izzard and just discovered jim jeffries whom i felt to be a bit weak, but with a very good sense of humor

that indian-american dude i never remember his name, i find him to be totally average, not too awesome, not too bad. same goes for old eddie murphy routines.
as for richard pryor, i get a sad feeling from him :D i havent seen as much as i should tho, so... i guess my jury is still open on him.

comedians i dislike are dane cook (shout shout) and george lopez (coked up aggro bad-vibe :D) and that douchebag with the puppets and the oh-so-overused make-fun-of-terrorists routine

I2 today is not i2 of yesteryear. It is a knitting circle. Those that participate be they nice or asshats know their place and the price to be there. Odeon is the overlord

.Benevolent if you toe the line.

Think it is I2 of old? Even Odeon is not so delusional as to think otherwise. He may on occasionally pretend otherwise but his base is that knitting circle.

Censoring/banning/restricting/moderating myself, Calanadale & Scrapheap were all not his finest moments.

How to apologise to Scrap

I like Jim Gaffigan, you might have heard of him. He mostly does food jokes, though.

My favorite comedian right now, by far, is Neil Hamburger.

I could go into ridiculous detail about why I love this guy, but instead I'll just say he's so pathetic and unfunny that he's brilliant.

Not sure to label them all stand up comedians but here are some British (UK) ones I like..

Bill Bailey, Frankie Boyle, Jimmy Carr, Hugh Dennis, Omid Djalili (Br. Iranian/funny chap), Noel Fielding, Russell Howard, Sean Lock, David Mitchell and Lee Mack.

Um, if wished you can find videos of them on Youtube, I think.

^ Jeez, no longer available it says in the box there now.. Well, for me it does. Due to Chambers Management?

Oh well..

I forgot to mention Dara O'Briain before. Reckon him one of the best comedians around almost present time. Very funny chap, in my opinion. Love 'his Mock the Week' show on the BBC also..
