Stewart Lee is also amazingly insightful and intelligent. His bit about 'reverse racism gone mad' is 100% cross-culturally applicable to America.

Attell has always been one of the best, if not the best, working today. Watch Captain Miserable (his latest special, 2008) to see that as starkly as possible. He's been on the Nerdist podcast a few times and that opinion of his greatness isn't singularly my own. It's just he hasn't been focused entirely on stand-up as of late, 'cause of Dave's Old Porn and all.

Conduit for Sale! posted:It was pretty uneven, because his character work is fantastic, but his actual standup is kinda generic and forgettable. He said on KPCS that he's most comfortable when he's doing his characters and I think it shows. His Fabrice Fabrice stand-up segment on John Oliver's New York Stand-Up Show was just amazing. "You know who loves fried chicken iss BLACK PEOPLE. You know who else loves fried chicken? EVERYBODY." escape artist posted:I actually like his (non-character) stand-up a lot. And when he's doing himself on the show. I was literally eating pizza combos when he said "a cats rear end in a top hat looks like a pizza combo"... It was hilarious and gross. You and me both on that one. CC finally decided they'd give TALENTED comedians a shot at doing their own shows how they want and it's working good so far with Kroll's. God drat was the latest episode hitting on all the right cylinders with both Ghost Bouncers and The Spotted Ox Hostel.

I need a little bit of help in finding a forgotten comedian I want to look up again. He had a bit that made me laugh so hard about how Christians in football act persecuted when they aren't, because if a devout Muslim were to play football and start praying during a touchdown celebration, whipping out the prayer rug and prostrating repeatedly on it, Americans would be like, "Wow! Football is CANCELLED!" Any ideas as to who it is? I remember he was on Spotify, but I can't seem to look through past albums I listened to to find it up on my own.

Yeah, Inside Amy Schumer's pretty good in my book, as Kroll Show was. But I don't get the hate Jeselnik Offensive and Jeff Ross's show get. They were both absolutely hilarious, in my book. I re-watch all the episodes of both of them quite frequently, because I still find them absolutely hysterical. I guess different strokes for different folks.

First, agreed about Jim Norton's stand-up being poo poo while his radio poo poo is great. But, about Chelsea Peretti, she and Jim have both mentioned numerous times that she wasn't exposed to that sort of stuff. None of her peeing on him with a hooker present or anything. edit: I missed a recent WTF live, and one with Maria Bamford at that? Can't thank you enough for bringing this to my attention!

He also did a bit about how he and his sister had to eat the brazil nuts in the house as fast as possible because of their uncle continually reminding them about what they used to be called.

Man, Patton's new special is only on Epix and I can't get at it. :I They loving advertise that they are giving out free 14-day trials, but they apparently don't think to actually send the loving emails out for it, or whatever the goddamn deal there is. It's been 12 hours and I still can't watch it.

Agreed. Good special, not Patton's best, but any Patton is superior to none. I love the payoff to his daughter's exposure to Wolfman.

There's a list of stand-ups a mile long that I absolutely love, but Kurt Metzger makes me laugh the absolute hardest. I just wish he had more than one CD out, because it's SO good. To see him with Amy must be loving awesome.

He's still funny as hell with fantastic material and a great writing gig on Inside Amy Schumer. Also, you may be mistaking a thing that didn't ever happen (a "joke") for a thing that did.

Groucho Marxist posted:I think that was a thing that happened on his Facebook, but anyway he seems like a giant dick aside from that and isn't funny enough to make up for it. I think that he is one of the funniest stand-ups alive. Here, give these YMIW Lives with Kurt a shot, tell me he's not great after hearing from him on these: http://www.nerdist.com/2012/11/you-made-it-weird-102-live-from-ny-comedy-festival/ http://www.nerdist.com/2013/07/you-made-it-weird-169-live-from-montreal/ Both are noteworthy by Pete as some of his favorites, so that is awesome.

You owe me a pair of pants, because the news that Kyle Kinane has taped a new special has caused my erection to irreparably damage the pair I was just wearing.

Pepitone (and Jim Earl with his fake obituaries for real dead people) on WTF live podcasts won me the gently caress over so hard that, upon seeing his Netflix special hitting release, I gasped audibly and immediately watched it twice in a row. I loving love that man so much.

Honestly, I don't give two fucks if the person's material is funny. Louis talks about his kids a lot. So what? He's hilarious and his material works, so who cares what the subject of it is? Cameron rules from what I've heard of her, too.

I've only enjoyed Joe Rogan's stand-up of the DeathSquad crew. I was surprised, too. I love JRE now that I gave his stand-up a try and see him as a know-bunches stoner, as opposed to a silly jock.

Shovelbearer posted:Kurt Metzger seems to have some life elements of a poo poo guy but I think his stand-up is rad. I don't necessarily need to think I would like the actual person to enjoy the stand-up. Saw him live like a year, year-and-a-half ago and he was hilarious. It didn't hurt that he seemed to deliver half his set directly at me and my girlfriend. To each their own though. Zuh? You mean where he overcame being a religious nutter like his parents, or where he's banging an Israeli girl half his age and her black girlfriend?
