Stand Up Comedians

[Beau Knows]

Not necessarily. They don't know who or how much Chick-fil-a will donate to. They are probably going to donate to people that carry similar religious views. Are they going to go after every other company that donates to Salvation Army? Are they going to go after the Salvation Army directly? They ultimately accomplished nothing. Are all religious based charities bad because many of them are against abortion or believe in traditional marriage? This is where people lose the narrative. Even if you disagree with their beliefs, you can still acknowledge that they can do good and help people in need, and hurting them from doing that doesn't hurt the charities, it's hurts the people that actually need the help. But, the protesters get to pat themselves on the back, so yay for that.

I mean, it's not going to move the needle for Chick-fil-a or SA being more supportive of LGBTQ.

For a thread about standup comedians, you people sure are sucking all the fun out of it

I'm surprised Dennis Regan isn't as popular as his brother

The only "cancel culture" going on with Chick-Fil-A is the performative social media outrage by conservatives (led by that little fake lawyer manlet who probably needs a booster seat when he goes there to eat) over a corporations donation policy decisions.

What a naïve post.

What a naïve post.

Not in the slightest, it's completely accurate.

 

[ORRFForever]

Disagree.

Stand-up comedy is not particularly fun right now as a genre, considering how much of it seems to consist of man-babies complaining about how they are being "cancelled" on heavily-watched Netflix specials for which they are paid large sums of money.

The alleged victims of "cancel culture" sure do seem to often have very high-visibility platforms on which to complain about it and monetize their victimhood.

Getting back to the topic of stand up comedy...

I find most comedians excel in 10 to 20 minute sets. Giving every comedian (who asks) an hour special is a bad idea - I know it's cheap content but few comedians are up to it and what you're left with is 15 minutes of quality content surrounded by weak material that drags down the entire show.

I was so disappointed in Bill Burr's most recent comedy special.

The same could be said about both genders - the EXACT same thing was said about Elizabeth Banks in the Charlie's Angels thread and you took exception to it...

Her movie was no fun. She complained, blaming men for her failure. She had a high visibility platform from which she was able to monetize her victimhood.

Yeah, my bad for my part.

S0 do "alleged victims of being held down by mean white men who hate anything that is different than themselves".

Beth Stelling is great!

Below is a playlist of bits from her special, so just let it go and it'll automatically play the next video

He's just not funny

His crowd work was more insulting than funny.

Needs to take lessons from the master in crowd work Jay Oakerson

Jesus, this thread.

I will be forever pissed at Louis CK for being an asshole, nobody was better. And now he f***ed us out of the brilliant stand up and television he created because he couldn't control himself.

I still laugh my ass off at pretty much everything he did before he was outed. This clip is just a perfect example of how you can perform racial humor without being racist and everything is spot on. His delivery, the way he uses his body as he tells the story, he just does it perfectly.

Really disappointed with the Eddie Murphy episode. As funny as Buckwheet was they should have did something different then have him sing out dated songs. They should have did a skit like the white/black supremacist and did a front line version of Buckwheet's life after showbiz. Perfect opportunity to have his biological younger brother Clayton Bigsby introduced. I just thought the whole production value was not there for someone who's episode was so anticipated.

speaking of people I miss.....

Patrice always spoke what was on his mind and didn't hold back. He told you what he thought whether you needed to hear it or not. His frank and open honesty is why he is one of my favorites. Too many funny moments of him and Opie and Anthony back in the day. Unfortunately most of them have gratuitous profanity

They are typically defending each other but in some cases just putting the term out there to prevent backlash. Yes, it is fun right now.
