Haha grmpy, now you remember Louis CK. He’s funny as fuck huh? I saw him on showtime a few months ago, he said something funny I cant remember it entirely but he said something about a deer hitting his car smashing his windshield yelling at the poor half dead fucking deer “I hope your deer wife dies!!!”, " You broke my windshield you faggot cunt nigger deer!!!"
I love standup. I feel lucky - I have seen many, locally, for a few years now. Love it.
Sarah Silverman, Todd Barry, Eugene Mirman, good stuff…
Sarah Silverman…
BLECK!! she’s the female version of Dane Cook! Not funny, unoriginal. and just like Cook the only reason she has a career is because she is attractive, end of story! the only joke silverman has is the fact that she thinks she’s funny! I wait for the day her stupid show is cancelled.

Anybody here listen to Opie and Anthony? They did this traveling virus tour a few years in a row of top of the line comedians like sagat, ck, patrice oniel, jin norton, Bill Burr, etc. if they’re on in your area or you have satellite radio i’d give them a listen. Unlike howard and most hockey hacks on the morning drive these guys are actually funny
ck, patrice oniel, jin norton,
THese guys are the real deal! Norton and Oniel were the only good things about that stupid “Tough crowd with colin quinn” show on Comedy cnetral. Another NO TALENT HACK how the hell colin quinn get a show? not only is he not funny he makes me angry as a matter of fact that makes him the anti comic! He’s worse than cook and silverman at least cook and silverman has made me at least chuckle after a couple of hours! Quinn makes me wanna punch a baby in the face he’s so not funny!

Colin is best at stand-up, but honestly his Tough Crowd show was like Seinfeld - the supporting cast was always funnier than him. Trust me, see his act and he’s good.
I don’t get the connection between Dane and Sarah…Dane has a knack for incorporating way too many pop culture references in his act, post-1980’s and up so of course you know who his target audience is. And it’s just annoying. I can’t see that with her – she is juvenile but she at least doesn’t hit that level where she has to throw in some reference to He-Man or Soundgarden or some other stupid shit.

It has more to do with their delivery and their jokes (Or rather lack of ) they are both simply not funny to me and it irritates me that other people find them funny.
Sarah silverman joke: I’m gonna marry my dog and I’m jewish! hahaha see how cutesy i am.
Dane cook joke: I’m a guy and i drink beer haha haha and when i drink too much beer i fall down and bang my head on the counter haha haha.
what assholes!! I find myself asking others (with cook especially) was there a punchline in there somewhere? Why are people laughing? where was the funny?
As far as Colin quinn goes i got roughly 25 years of seeing that asshole on tv that says he’s NOT funny. He has never not once in the history of my life made me laugh. stupid on “remote control” (and that’s back when i was like 9 years old) stupid on snl, beyond stupid on his show!! fuck that guy!! where’s a baby?? I’m gonna punch that little fucker!

On the bright side, Dane Cook lost millions of dollars when his business manager brother absconded with it.

So just because you don’t like someone and they are (admittedly) kind of a douche, you think it’s a good thing that they had millions of dollars stolen from them which they rightfully earned?
I don’t like Dane Cook but it seems to me he is talented even if his humor is of the dimwitted, straight laced, everyman “bro” variety.I just get rubbed the wrong way when we mock and celebrate the misfortunes of people who are talented and doing something extraordinary with their livess.
Then again I guess I’m as guilty of it as the next guy so this point was probably a waste of digital breath eh?
Dane has fame and, well, he deserves it, because he is not my cup of tea but I certainly see how he strikes a chord with others. He also was pretty much one of the first to incorporate and communicate socially with the world via the Web around the early millennium through his web site.

well i wouldn’t say he “rightfully” earned it but still earned none the less, so, point taken. And you got got full support on this one. A person who is shitty at their job doesn’t deserve be stolen from.

but he’s not talented, he tells dull moronic stories that ramble with no point, and calls them jokes, and he’s convinced others that they are jokes too! Not talented cause anybody can fall down sporadically to a caveman train of thought!

Oh please tell me how he can strike chords with others! I mean i don’t find nichole kidman attractive but i can certainly see why others would. long hair slender face slender body, she’s tall… all the elements are there they just don’t mix for me, but i can see why others do. with cook, silverman, and quinn none of those comedic elements are there, there are no funny elements about them. it would be like if kidman was 4’10 and 350 pounds greasy short hair, pimple faced with traces of rosacha(sp?), thick curdled up make up and wearing a size medium for her clothes… while I know that description gets voidhead all excited(j/k dude!) i can’t see how that is attractive or even seen on a wide scale(no fat joke inended) as attractive. It’s almost bait and switch were being sold a comedian and they hand us a dullard!

is there irony in a guy who made millions stealing off the jokes and material of others having said money stolen from him?
I’ll stick to my Bill Hicks.

completely agree with the hicks comment… too bad most of the recorded material of his is from a short period so it’s kinda the same jokes told differently… even his recent biography that came out (with the help and approval of his fam) was kinda repetative in the quotes of his routines.
that an amazing talent like hicks dies and somebody like artie lang (who is funny, don’t get me wrong, but not on the level) keeps fucking up and is still alive boggles the mind…
Artie Lange is the Motley Crue of comedians.

and i thought that was sam kinneson
Nah, that’s Lynyrd Skynrd…the singer being killed by his mic and amplifier(s)…total irony, for Sam Kinison to get killed by a drunk driver while completely sober

too sad! one of my favorite lines by sam was “I was cummin like a fire hose!” I think he was talking about fucking on coke, it was so long ago, but that simile always stuck out to me cause it was hilarious.
