It's basically just socially acceptable bullying
Dave Chapelle and Shane "Syndrome" Gillis are the only ones worth a damn still in the game. Louis CK needs to stop being fat and gay and get the fuck back in
>>217397114Yeah I dont find it particularly cool. This form of comedy belongs to the classic standing circle of 10 people max at a houseparty. Doing this shit on a stage with people in seats is odd af.
>>217397114I don't mind it but honestly the ratio of bad stand up acts to good has to be like 10,000:1.
if people puncehd down more it'd be funny again, I used to love standup in the days of Comedy Central Presents when most comedians who got their own special (outside of that show which was for amateurs half the time) they deserved it. The new era of countless wannabes watered the comedy world down hard
>>217397143autistic as fuck
>>217397114It's incredibly unfunny.
>>217397178On the contrary. Then its a proper conversation that everyone enjoys. Watching it in a tv format is just wrong. Humor is soul and laughter is deeply human. Its not meant to be released through a stage performance. Its a deeply connected, intimate experience for peers.
>>217397114Most good comics are better just talking shit with their friends anyway. That's why they all have podcasts now.
>>217397114It was my favorite thing for about a decade, and then it was too much. To many stupid people to listen to, none of it improving or meaningfully adding to my life. Just a waste of time listening to idiots babble. It’s sort of perfectly follow Stanhope’s career. It’s a little obnoxious at first, but then he get into it. I have some really smart or clever orators, the philosopher kings of our time, that take a lot of time to write quality material and you come away having been affected, but now you tune in and it’s just another fucking podcast, recorded across an echoey room with three or four of their drunk loser friends just yammering on about nothing and kissing the comics ass so they’ll get invited back next week. It’s just all so fucking sad.And this new wave of retards… They just took out their ass about nothing and telling you going in that it’s a comedy show is supposed to prime your brain to thinking everything you're hearing is funny but without that, none of this shit is funny, it’s not even fucking clever, it’s just the dumbest people you would never associate with filling airtime and petting themselves on the back. Bill Burr is probably retiring at the right time.
>>217397114who hurt you?
>>217397241Wow speech to text really shit the bed there. well anyway you get the idea
>>217397211nobody is saying a person irl can't be hilarious or more enjoyable, what is autistic is thinking a comedy act on stage is "odd af" art has been performed on stage since the dawn of man
>>217397274Calling this shit art is a bit of a stretch.
>>217397274you think the ancient sumerian priest-kings or some shit had faggots pacing back and forth on a massive stage babbling on about reheated jokes while pretending to be rebels?because you might be right
>ohhh my GAHHHHD well that was FACKING something, jeeezzzzzzzz>*audience erupts in laughter*>sewwww uhhhh>how long have you been attempting stand up comedy?>*audience explodes with uproarious, earsplitting laughter and yelling*>"uhhm, uhhh, u---four years">holy SHAIIIT well let's hope that job works out at panera bread
>>217397114Somehow everyone became a comedian overnight.
>>217397211I feel like standup fags even secretly want that conversation because they go nuts over clips of comedians interacting with hecklers and stuff.
>>217397114It's the ultimate boomer entertainment. Boomers would sneak out of their homes to not lisren to their whining wifes... to go to a place where they will pay to listen a stranger whine!
Standup is based, only retards get offended by it ;)
>>217397342absolutely, and it goes even further back to cavemen times when they joked about sabre cats and getting their heads hit by bones
>>217397286i never said I liked Kill Tony but not every comedian is as bad as the lowest common denominator, especially when comedians have a flow to their set it can feel particularly artful, I used to really like Daniel Tosh
>>217397114I fucking hate longheads and their fucking long rat teeth
>>217397464I was 13 too once.
>>217397464I prefer actual comedy in my comedy.
>>217397464the problem is its not offensive enough, like i said we need more punching down
>>217397642No, the funniest standups were always the guys who could do characters. Robin Williams, Eddie Murphy, young Dave Chapelle.
>>217397142I REALLY miss Norm and Bernie. I like Shane a lot though. I'll always like Chappelle, and while I don't agree with the flavor of the month opinion "he isn't funny and doesn't tell jokes anymore", I do think he's become something of a misanthrope. Just because you're smiling and doing standup doesn't mean there can't be genuine malice and rage behind what you're saying and, this is just me, but if I detect the slightest hint of that I can't really laugh with you anymore. Comedians can do social commentary and be funny but the comedy absolutely has to always come first.
>>217397114What if it were a musician singing about retards? or an artist painting retard niggers? or an actor playing a retard nigger faggot?The ability to separate the art from the artist is a basic requirement for an advanced civilization. See the guy who got his head chopped off in the street by a jeet for making a cartoon for an example of a non advanced civilization.
>>217397650oh yeah like Jim Gaffigan or Jeff DUnham
>>217397668I don't care for Jeff but I've always loved Jim. I've seen him live twice. Funny story: he's never particularly vulgar or profane, but he definitely is a little edgier at smaller shows compared to his specials. He did a 5+ minute bit critical of Islam and the violence that come from criticizing Islam vs. the other religions. Again, it wasn't a seethe filled, thinly veiled "I hate all Muslims" rant disguised as a joke. The primary focus of the bit was the absurdity of the fact people pretend this isn't almost exclusively an Islamic thing at this current moment in history.>(Yes, I'm aware of contemporary Jewish, Christian, and Hindi atrocities and acts of terror directed at those that aren't members of their religion but we're talking about organized campaigns there with geopolitical motives. Even militant Christian fundamentalists aren't attacking a newspaper cartoon artist who drew a naughty Christ picture.)
>>217397114>I.. I'm getting bullied.. :'(Grow up faggot.
Drunk Ric Flair walking off because it was bullying was the best
>>217397142Chappelles last few specials have sucked. 4chan only sucks his dick because he's the only comedian who's allowed to shit on trannies
>>217397211That's why like 90% of comedians start off with crowdwork, to get the audience actively involved. Obviously going to see a comedian in a big stadium sucks
>>217397114200 comedy assassins are after you now
