wackety schmackety doooooo

[James]

were i going to get into a discussion of theory re: comediennes i think it is because we laugh AT comedians like 9/10ths of the time, not WITH them, and if we laugh AT a girl we feel kinda bad about it

or at least i do

fr xampl would Titus (as in Chris) be funny if he was a girl? All his stories of his dad beatin the crap out of him and his dysfunctional family etc etc

[Maynard,]

James, this is an unfair example because Chris Titus is not funny as a man.

[James]

you're about to get your face dead

[Kyle]

"my dad, stacy keach, used to beat me half to death. i look like a human rat." - chris titus

[Kyle]

i also considered "if david caruso were the third dillon brother" instead of "a human rat"

[Maynard,]

Will you allow the rest of my body to live?

[James]

without the vital face section the rest of your body will atrophy like one of them lil chest-heads from total recall

[Andy]

I have to also say that I have seen no female comedians that consistantly make me laugh.

As for the men...

5. Kevin James (at least I really liked that one comedy central special. king of queens is a totally different story, a bad one)
4. Jon Stewart
3. Jim Gaffigan
2. Mitch Hedberg
1. Brian Regan

I have limited vision for comedians.



Even less for comediennes.

[Jennifer]

Sarah Silverman is the only comedienne I laugh with at most of the time. Lisa Lampanelli used to be pretty funny, but her stuff got real old real quick.

[James]

sarah silverman is too "hey guys i am going to SHOCK THE HELL OUT OF YOU and tear down the hypocrisy of your false world" for my tastes to be honest

[zack hoagie!]

James and i bros because chris titus be hi-larious

5. Ardal O'Hanlon
4. Dylan Moran
3. Richard Pryor
2. Billy Connelly
1. Bill Bailey

[Duzzy Funlop]

Cause he hasn't been mentioned yet, I love Daniel Tosh. It's like he studies all the crappy comics who rely on offensiveness or are Dane Cook and he makes it his goal to do what they do well.

I constantly quote his "Cribs" story with my friends all the time (that was him, right?). Also, Fuzzy/Duzzy, did you bring him up because his special is on right now?

[Andy]

I just finished watching him as I type. I liked this one a lot better than the Comedy Central Presents with him.

[Duzzy Funlop]

I constantly quote his "Cribs" story with my friends all the time (that was him, right?). Also, Fuzzy/Duzzy, did you bring him up because his special is on right now?

rather, i was reminded of his existence as i turned comedy central on

here is an example of why i love him: http://youtube.com/watch?v=3ngroXOp-V4

[tmbg13]

Less than a minute in and I'm already in fucking tears.

[Andy]

See, I think he's really funny, but his voice, build and mannerisms all remind me of this giant douchebag I know, so I can't fully like him without feeling like I am betraying my hatred.
whats a guy to do

[Andy]

However, for posterity, my favorite joke from him is the one where he says something like "you know what profession deserves more credit? Boxing. I think they should win a trophy just because they don't cry when they get punched in the face."
