I've seen Tony Clifton before too!

Personally I hate stand up comedy, I just can't stand it, it makes me feel awkward and my eyes start to get teary, even when the audience is laughing you know it's all fake laughs, stand up comedy is not funny and people should just stop, please.
>>62804390
you should go to an amateur improv show if you want to see awkward
my college did a "whose line is it anyway" show with the drama club.
A lot of dudes yelling "MY PEEEEENIS" over and over and generally not knowing how the games work.

That's cute, anon. You know, Kaufman didnt originate that archetype either.

>if you want to see awkward
But I don't, I want to avoid it, it hurts I can't stand awkwardness.
>>62804548
I find awkwardness hilarious, reason I love the Office UK version.

Who is this fluid druid?
>>62804610
One of Britain's top new comedians, I forget her name?
No such thing. There are a few consistent ones but it almost invariably ends becoming a weak imitation of itself

Seriously, though, what IS up with shoes? I literally can't even ...

Burr is undisputed GOAT but don't hate on fucking Mitch Hedberg man. He has a style no one can emulate.
Also, Patrice O'Neal.

Bamford is great, her CDs more so than her acting and Netflix special. It's a weird style that I didn't care too much for my first time hearing it.
Also, Norm MacDonald

Stewart Lee is GOAT brit comedy, genius

stand up comedy is whatever joke you can write.
She really makes you think
>>62807825
or for Stewart Lee, it's whatever abstract setup you can use to make a joke out of people's expectation that you would tell a different joke, or their reaction to you not making a joke, or ranting about something unrelated. how does he fucking do it.
Doug Stanhope
>>62806631
He's good, but the more famous he gets the less it seems he can talk about relatable things the way he did early on. It's hard to write things people making $25-$60k can relate to when you're making ten times that. A lot of comics have that problem.
>>62806826
>John Mulaney
His new special proves he's 100% still got it. Dude needs to seriously just focus on his stand up though- he's really gifted at that and has a really well developed voice, but that show of his was an abortion.

makin a person laugh with only ur voice and body is a fuckin art dude, respect the skills!
>>62808158
I dunno, wasn't his most recent special the one with the Eddie Griffin ticket price bit? I also like the way he talks about meeting celebrities now that he's famous. He doesn't do it in the OH WOWEE I'M FAMOUS NOW GUYS CAN'T YOU TELL LOOK AT ALL THESE CELEBRITIES I CAN NAMEDROP way that Aziz Ansari does, he gives more of a sense that he kind of conned his way into that position that makes it a little more relatable. His bit about working on 30 Rock and getting an Emmy for it is a good example of that.
>>62808235
I didn't enjoy his new special nearly as much as New in Town or Top Part. It wasn't awful but none of it was as funny as even his average jokes in the older specials.
>>62808235
Agreed. His style just doesn't really work in a sitcom setting. I wish he'd come on Comedy Bing Bong more often.
>>62806793
>lowest form of humor
I'd argue it's one of the highest forms of art in a certain sense. As a medium it's a lot like a haiku. You have complete freedom of self expression, literally no topic is off limits, but you're bound by one ridged hard rule that you can't disobey: whatever you do must be funny. A haiku can be about anything in the world, it can be beautiful and thought provoking in it's brevity, or it can be complete and utter dog shit. The one thing it can't be is anything of there than 5 syllables followed by 7 syllables followed by another 5. If it doesn't do that it ceases to be a haiku. Stand up has a lot of potential to be very important art when done correctly, it's your own fault for only listening to the
