Neither is that Gabriel Iglesias. Nothing clever about either of their humour.

But Bill Bailey, he's great in Black Books, never seen his standup. Dylan Moran is also great in Black Books, and his standup is great.

I just don't like American comedy at all, to be honest. American comedy is, for the most part, crude and not really that witty at all, relying on shitty references to immature things, and with no real sophistication at all.
I do like Mitch Hedberg though, he's good.

You, sirrah, are a wanker, and an imbecile! Good day to you sir!

Wow.
This thread is lame.
I thought it was going to be funny.
Most of these guys are so unfunny.

You know, some people are looking for that in comedy. Not everything has to be overly mature to be funny, in fact, its quite the opposite. Comedy is an escape from all that, and Gabriel is hella funny.

Its great that we all have our opinions.

Same thing with some people when watching sports, I hate how they constantly say shit about their team if they're losing. I mean most of the people that do cant even keep up with the worst person on the browns or the bengals.

Not even close, unless you consider all jokes on football now stolen.

Not even close?!?

It's not stolen because it has something to do with football. The entire build-up to the joke, the punchline... they're EXACTLY THE SAME!

That's like me saying to you "You can't criticise Barack Obama because you don't have any presidential skills".
You've really made no point at all by saying that we're in no position to criticise comedians when we aren't established comedians ourselves, because at the end of the day, it's entirely up to opinion anyway, and in art and media, opinion is everything.

I think YOU are the douche bag.

by Gauz Fri Oct 16, 2009 5:04 pm

I think YOU expect too much from a comedian and YOU have too high standards.

Therefore making YOU a douche bag, but, these are all just opinions right?

...Right?

everyone is entitled to their opinion, and in MY opinion this thread is getting derailed and turning into another argument.

time for more funny vids please. Very Happy
