answer to this thread: lex

shakey otm

serious r&b fan is serious

the worst comedian is probably some no-name that had an appearance on "comic view" in 2001

lex, what do you find funny?

I come to this thread to find new funny comedians - it seems as if everyone who's ever told a joke on stage is mentioned.

was at the Broadway Comedy Club on 53rd and 8th in NYC at their 11 pm show last Saturday.

they sat me in the front, which meant I knew I'd get picked on, but I didn't care, cos if someone gets in some good zings I usually find it hilarious.

the MC of the evening was this unfunny guy whose name I forget (other than he was Irish). His brand of humor was telling me that I looked like a rapist, asking me if I was there by myself (which I was, as I took the trip alone as my bro couldn't make it), and then saying "he says that like it's not the creepiest thing in the world to go to a comedy show by yourself" and started telling everyone I was 'scaring' him.

nobody laughing, really hella awkward. I wasn't mad so much but I just sat in silence (as did most of the audience, cos his set wasn't funny at all). Rest of the show was fun and in bounds but man....that's acceptable now?

Frankie Boyle.

I will never understand why someone would feel it's their calling to stand up in front of an audience and make them laugh, only to derive your entire act on mean-spirited pisstaking. Maybe these people have always done it, taking the piss out of people, and mistaken the awkward murmuring that ensues as genuine mirth

So many amateur stand up nights are like this aren't they?

mistaken the awkward murmuring that ensues as genuine mirth...

i mean, watching an actual standup do crowd work can be funny. but yeah 99% of crowd work is going to be like that.

I usually enjoy being made fun of by standups, but saying I look like a rapist was a weeeee bit over the line, especially since I wasn't heckling or being disruptive or anything.

trevor noah

jeff garlin

i never did that shit when i was a standup. at most, when someone was opening birthday presents at the first table, i asked what they got.

gonna need to see a WDYLL, Neanderthal

luckily you have years of them to choose from

maybe you do look like a rapist? maybe you carrying a knife and wearing a mask wasn't the best outfit for the evening?

are you a man, neanderthal? then you do look like a rapist!

makes you think

ilx outdoing the shittiest open mic hosts each and every day

also the very few times I've been to stand-up comedy shows someone on stage has said something really horrible about a crowd member. last time the first act made a comment about how low-hanging the breasts of a woman were who was with a guy who was getting ejected for being a sloppily drunken heckler, the entire crowd turned against him and the rest of his 10 minute set was a complete failure

Who was the comedian who El-Kabonged a heckler in the head

no clue but lmao at that reference

My answer:

Craig Shoemaker (born November 15, 1958) is an American comedian, writer, and voice actor.[1] He is best known for his baritone-voiced character, The Lovemaster, which he routinely portrays in his comedy act. In 1997 he was named Funniest Male Stand-Up Comic at the American Comedy Awards.

xpost he clocked a heckler with a guitar, and the audience roared in anger and he was asking like "wasn't I in the right?" and one audience member said "YOU WENT TOO FAR" and dude just walked off stage after that

I love the fake audience on that Walt G Love clip.

There a whole Rudy Ray Moore movie like that from the 70s

no way is this Craig Shoemaker guy real

I was reminded of him when I was reading wiki about The Magic Johnson Show. He was the "comedy relief" sidekick. I can't believe he consistently wins comedy awards.

no guitar but classic heckler takedown.

that's i believe greg giraldo.

Dude at an improv show walked offstage and swiped my phone mid-text (nb, this was years before doing so became the ubiquitous source of annoyance it now is, and I was trying to be discreet about it) and wrote something like 'I am an asshole' and hit send. Closest I've come in my adult life to decking someone.

Not that many comedians I have a strong dislike for. Even when they're not good I still kind of want them to succeed and think most of the ones I see on television have a basic level of likeability that makes their failures very uncomfortable.

For years I felt very awkward watching comedy on tv because I'd have a strained smile as if they were in the room with me. It was exhausting and depressing because very little comedy succeeds at a comfortable level.

I'm scared I'll make friends with comedians someday and be asked to watch them or give feedback. They'd have to be in the tiny elite for that to be a comfortable relationship.

Given how difficult stand-up comedy is, it seems insane to me how long the sets are and how many people want to do it.

a young man with face tattoos stole my phone and typed boonk gang whole lotta gang shit xp

say what you will about the man's politics

I assume this thread's heyday did not overlap with Carlos Mencia's and that is why this post is the first invocation of his name.

This, in every respect, is the opposite of what I think.

Colin Quinn is the unfunniest comedian

I can probably count the number of times Colin Quinn has made me laugh because of a joke and not because of how viciously he was bombing on one hand.

the saga of dan nainan, hungry millennial comedian is funnier than anything he's ever said in a comedy routine, by far

bahahaha at the comments in this video

even Neil Hamburger's early CDs don't have him bombing this hard. I'm 15 minutes in and he hasn't gotten a single laugh

btw my entire Twitter feed has an obsession with this guy. I saw him get quoted in a dumb newspaper article and it blew my mind

neil hamburger is a treasure and i'm amazed audiences didn't cotton onto this more quickly
