why is standup comedy so bad? I'm watching the funniest guy in 2025 and he's god awful compared to legends like Patrice O'Neal
>>215045606everything has already been said
Because of Joe Rogan and his friends.
Real life is funnier and more ridiculous in 2025 than any one person's clever take on it.
>>215045606Figures that a nigger worshipper would think this nigger worshipper is the best comedian
>>215045606Why does it come off as posters on /tv/ hate standup comedy so much? Does anyone here even watch it? Do you only watch the bad shit? Is it a generation thing or something I've always found it mildly funny how full of disdain /tv/ seems to be for stand up comedy, sketch comedy, live comedy in general.
>>215045606Stand up was never funny. The "legends" were never funny. It was always a retarded "art form".
>>215046096
>>215045955George Carlin did far more damage.
>>215045606Are there any arts that have become better and more creative/original the past few decades? Since 2012?
>>215046385AI Art-ificial Intelligence
>>215046427True
>>215046353honestly i think bill hicks was a bad influence too
>>215045606the world is too shitty and stupid to even make fun of, people hate their lives so much they cant laugh at themselves anymore
>>215045606>compared to legends like Patrice O'Neal
>>215045606he was given grace for being """based""" in the same way how Sam Hyde is unfunny, his supporters just care about the message rather than his material.
i've noticed my favourite comics will do jokes about whatever. or find funny angles to things. and the comedians i dislike are mostly "i'm gonna tell you about me and my life, and instead of jokes it's just embellished anecdotes". not sure what that says about me
>>215045606>There's a huge laundry list of things you'll get cancelled or mobbed and beaten for joking about, even on a 'cool' show like Kill Tony>No one in the industry actually has talent and it's full of nepofaggots - Joe Rogan's hangeron's are just that>There's a lot of air time to fill so they let women and literal retards and the disabled perform for claps rather than laughs
>>2150464812070 paradigm shift is both the funniest and most avante garde comedic performance in the last 10 years, unironically. Do not reply to this post denying it unless you can name a specific example that tops it in both
>>215046501I've been watching a lot of Conan lately. Not stand up obviously but he really is genuinely funny and can joke about anything. None of the other talk show hosts even seem human let alone funny.
>>215046622Conan was a writer for Simpsons during the golden age, he's absolutely funny.
>>215045606Because everyone has a podcast.
>>215046051>posters on /tv/ hate standup comedy so muchmost of them are really into those comedian dissection channels on YT and don't actually watch an entire special ever, let alone see a standup live. There's nothing special about it, there are other communities dedicated to takedowns and ''critiques'' of videogames and their creators, fashion creators, sportsball players etc. Not that most of the standups are any good, but people ITT don't take the time to make up their own mind and just absorb whatever some YTfaggot posts as truth.
>>215045606Real talk does this guy have downs
>>215046622Conan has been consistently great for three decades in whatever he does. Late Night with Conan from 2000-2005 is probably the best talk show programming of all time, he was at the top of his game.
The crowd work shit is unbearable with modern "comedians"
>>215045606>why is standup comedy so bad? I'm watching the funniest guy in 2025Because 2025 is bad. Standup has almost always been a commentary of real world, with some exceptions like Mitch Hedgberg, the world sucks now, so comedy will suck too.
>>215048146With the exception for my girl Taylor Tomlinson of courseand I'm not even saying that sarcastically
>>215045606Shane panders pretty hard for his specials, but if your familiar with MSSP (the old testament), the dude is definitely truth-pilled. Plus he studies history and likes Sam Hyde; ((he knows.))
>>215045606The podcast is great. His first special that blew up on youtube is alright. His special after that leaned hard into the pandering and big black cock worship. He can't stop bringing up how inferior his tiny white cock is to big black studs. "Haha I wish my cock was impressive and intimidating like a big black one, the only way my little white pecker makes anyone fearful is if they see me in a parking garage. A navy seal tore up my girlfriend's pussy I could never compete."His SNL monologues (sellout faggot move which is without even mentioning his Bud Light commercials) are even fucking worse where his ultimate American dream fantasy is described as a white kid calling his downy niece a retard and his 3 black adopted nephews beating the white kid into a pulp. A real "America is healed" moment in his eyes.
>>215046096agree, standup is forced. >let me practice the same shitty joke 1000 times in the mirror so it sounds like i just made it up when i tell it to an audience>they'll never notice because they're all midwits>*humps the stool*
>>215045606i like todd glass but he's woke!
>>215045987TPBP
>>215046051I have watched pretty much every stand up alive today and popular enough to be on youtube and I can confirm they are all entirely shit. Stand up comedy died with Dangerfield and Hedberg. Modern comedy is just long and boring stories of self-obsession and political bait for clapping seals. That or 'crowd work' which is not interesting in the slightest unless the person gets angry and causes a Micheal Richards style scene.
>>215045606if you try to actually be funny, you get black balled and nobody will hear about you
