Comedians who's entire act is racist characterizations of their own race. I'm not talking about people like Chris Rock who do sometimes-disparaging jokes about black people or black neighbourhoods. I'm talking about people like Gina Yashere, who's entire shtick on panel shows is "Nigerians are violent and confused". Every single time she comments on a story it's a variation on "Imagine if <event> happened <in Nigeria|to Nigerians|to her mum, who is Nigerian>? *in exaggerated Nigerian accent* WHAT IS THIS?! I WILL BEAT YOU!" *laughter from overwhelmingly white audience*.

In Australia at the moment there's quite a few comedians whose whole act is "I'm gay". Adam Richard, Rhys Nicholson, Joel Creasey etc etc all do this shtick that goes "ohh my mum wanted me to be straight but look what happened! OOOhh! Cock!" and so on. SomethingAwful can get over using "I'm gay" as a punchline but Australia can't? Come on mateys

I JUST WANT TO DRINK BEER AND WATCH SPORTS AND THEYRE LIKE BLAH BLAH RELATIONSHIPS THE NOTEBOOK Women comedians that are "I AM SUCH A SLUT LOL" I may be mixing comedians I just don't like with overused tropes but I drive a lot and listen to the comedy channels on XM to help pass the time.

I Can't Believe It's Not Butter. Every single hack comedian (and even some good ones) would use this dumb product as the punchline to a joke. It was barely funny the first time, and it's painful every time someone tries to use it again. Even Stephen Colbert used it in his otherwise hilarious correspondent's dinner stand up. http://youtu.be/U7FTF4Oz4dI?t=4m36s It is bad and lazy

Yeah comedy songs are a trope I could really stand losing. Also folks who think they are Louis CK and tell long droning stories about their children but throw a poo poo ot gently caress in there to sound "EDGY" Full disclosure, I still do "how is everyone doing?" every now and again.

I've noticed a lot of comedians who learned the wrong lessons from otherwise wonderful comedians. For example, George Carlin and Richard Pryor were more than just guys who told jokes -- they were philosophers. Their jokes could get people to stop and examine their own prejudices and misconceptions, to question their ignorance and learn something about themselves and the cultures that surrounded them. They told the truth couched within laughter, a bitter pill with a candy-sweet shell. They made people laugh, and they brought about awareness. Then you have some assholes who saw Carlin and Pryor and thought, "Hey, I can bitch about things and make the word 'friend of the family' my entire act and I, too, shall be famous!'"

"WHY YOU CRYIN'?!!!!!" Because you're not funny, sir, and your stories of your childhood are depressing as gently caress. Thank you for misrepresenting the entire Latino community with your dogwhistle antics.

Part of the significance of Carlin too was how many boundaries he pushed and that back then you pretty much couldn't say the poo poo he said. Nowadays it's easy to talk about weed, say gently caress, be an atheist, etc on stage.

This is more of a thing in general, and not exclusive to comedy, but I get really really sick of catchphrases that people repeat ad nauseam. Jeff Foxworthy, Carlos Mencia, Jeff Dunham, every rear end in a top hat with a popular catchphrase can burn in hell.

Weird Al should stop, though. Also, Lonely Island.

Yea Weird Al should definitely stop on the heels of his first #1 album. Also Lonely Island is better than Garfunkel and Oates but that's not saying much either way.

Anyone who tries a parody of the Abbott and Costello "Who's on First" routine. Unless you are 110% perfect and can nail it just as often you shouldn't even bother.

A stand-up comedy catchphrase is as close as you can get to selling out without straight-up shilling for Canyonero in the middle of your act.

Dr Christmas posted:Hey guys, what if, heh, what if we called M Night Shyamalan...snicker...SHAMALAMADINGDONG? The worst part is that "Night" isn't his given name. It's a self-applied nickname, and if people weren't so focused on his surname, Shyamalan could be mocked for trying to get people to call him that. But people go to the surname and he gets away with people calling him "Night".

Comedy music acts are more forgivable, weird al and garfunkel and oates are good exceptions. Likewise with people like Jonathan Coulton, all of them would likely list themselves as musicians who use humor not comedians who use music. The big offenders are those who do a standard act and then throw in a "hilarious" song at the end.

I don't like when a comic keeps making references to "this side of the room." Like, "Oh, I see this side of the room is extra sensitive, you may not want to stick around for the second half of my act" or other similar poo poo.
