E CUM OUT STEW XD
Stewart Lee is one of the worst """""comedians"""" going
>>67851676
Stewart Lee is one of the most unfunny people I've ever had the misfortune to watch.
>>67851676
The most recent series is following the logical progression of the act. If think it's shit then chances are you never understood what he's been doing all along.
>>67853020
>>67853062
I think he can be """funny""" at times, but I posted it more to remind everyone who has watched his latest stuff how shit he really has come

Nice taste familya. One of the best movie of 2015
>>67853140
I've watched his standup and it's essentially him having rants. But there is no comedy. 40 mins about fucking coffee. What the fuck?
He would be good as one of several in a comedy sketch show. But political comedy shows seem to have died a death. You don't get shit like Brass Eye any more.
>>67853341
Wait, did you think the Cafe Nero bit was about coffee?
>>67852984
>Quentin Dupieux
It's the same french dude who did Rubber.
He's also an electronic music producer under the name of Mr. Oizo (anyone remember Flat Beat and the yellow puppet Flat Eric from the old Levi's commercial?).

do you think his rant about Quakers was really mirroring a rant about muslims? Like hes there going on and on and on about fucking Quakers whilst everyone laughs, but god forbid you rip into islam
I kind of hope he is making a mockery of his audience
>>67853341
>political comedy shows seem to have died a death
Because politics has become fucked. It's the privilege olympics of who can be offended the most, and there aren't any shows which are willing to rip into both sides.
Spitting Image was the greatest, and we'll never see its like again.

Do you think the audience were not aware of that?
That's the fucking joke.
>>67853567
no I think the audience were there to kiss is arse and laugh at anything he does
>>67853567
No. His audience is mostly made up of lefty twitter users.

>and there aren't any shows which are willing to rip into both sides.
Part of the problem is that whole impartiality BS that most English channels have to go along with, when it comes to politics. Too many of them take it to mean that you have to nice to everyone, rather than being allowed to equally make fun of everyone.
>>67851703
Nah he's not seeing me...

Only Season 3 is available on US Netflix. Is this the season you guys mean? Should I not watch it?
>>67853860
Season 4 is the one Im on about. Watch it if you want, I just hated it
>>67853814
DAAAAAAAAN
>>67853131
>you just don't understand it
sure, you keep believing that this preening prick is going transcend the medium by turning comedy into an art form. If it helps you to believe that anybody who sees through it simply doesn't get it then hey, more power to you.
>>67853131
stewy pls
>>67853588
>>67853616
Are you taking the piss here lads?
The act doesn't even work if the audience aren't in on the joke, the central conceit of his current shows is that his stand up persona despises the sort of people who find him funny.
I genuinely thought saying that people didn't like Stewart Lee because they didn't get it was just a meme.
>>67853952
Sorry, I couldn't help myself.
>>67853364
No. It's simply me hyperboling the bit.
>>67853567
No.
>>67853458
I do not. Lee generally believes this shit. He's "le slow down and speak into the mic deeply" comedian. It's the only comedy stand I've seen where I didn't laugh once. I've watched Richard Pryor and while lots of his stuff is out of my generation, I've still laughed at big chunks of it. Michael McIntyre comedy isn't anything special, but it's at least appealing to a massive audience and I've never not laughed at him. Lee is basically what I'd call "pretentious comedy". It's the kind of comedian you list so you can go "YOU JUST DON'T GET IT!"
>>67853401
listen to it often
>>67853955
Him having a 'persona' is irrelevant. If I don't find it funny, I'm not going to laugh. It's like having a waiter at a restaurant be a complete cunt to you, but you claim to love it or dismiss it as a 'bit' or 'persona' or 'post-modern comedy' or something shit.
>>67854012
What's wrong with a bit of pretension? Aren't we on /tv/ for fuck's sake. His old act that everyone seemed to like has been ripped off by all the new stand-ups. I can see why people don't care for it, but people here often seem offended that he's even trying to do something different.
>>67854061
I'm saying that the audience understand that they're partially the object of the joke.
If you don't like him then fair enough, but if you don't see that then you are literally failing to understand the act.
>>67851676
I'm surprised anyone on 4chan likes him, Stewart Lee is absolutely based, best leftie wankery comic out there imo. His self awareness is the best.
>>67852951
I've only seen 2 eps of the second series, does it ever return to series one form? I'd assume not.
>>67854177
Oh right. Yeah. I get that the audience knows they're part of it. But it's still the type of people who go and don't mind being shat on cause they can laugh it off as a 'jest, bro!"
>>67854290
I'm quite the opposite to liberals in some ways but \i think he's hilarious. I just don't find his political stuff very funny, I get what he's saying and the angle he's coming from but I prefer him just taking the piss out of random things, or better yet, himself.
>>67853660
Yeah, but then most of them don't bother with impartiality anyway and let lefty twats have free reign.
I'm not even right wing, I just wish people would actually criticise both sides.
>>67854375
They're watching stand-up. If you go to watch comedy you can expect there to be jokes and depending on who you go to see you can expect the jokes to be at your expense. So your waiter analogy is way off the mark.
Context is key. In fact it's the main theme of everything Stewart Lee does these days.
>>67854424
I sort of agree, but he clearly is a lefty ponce so if he's going to properly stick it to himself then he can't leave that out.
>>67854498
>he clearly is a lefty ponce
And he doesn't hide that fact, it makes him less likable I guess but what can you do?, the man is still funny to me, If someone doesn't like the red button bits with chris morris or armondo for example then this style of comedy is not for them, simple as that.
>>67854658
He doesn't need to be likeable. Though he does always comes across as perfectly reasonable when he's not doing stand-up.
He's kind of become like a middle class Johnny Vegas, I'm sure he must have been influenced by stuff like this.

>>67854759
Really can't be arsed to watch a 9 min video of johnny vegas, I don't dislike him at all but I'm not a huge fan, i'll take your word for it lel
>>67854866
It's basically a savagely bitter attack on the audience that devolves into an audience invasion where he kind of sexually assaults some woman.
>>67854969
That rings a bell, I might watch it in a bit actually

Could be interesting... But hasn't it been off the air for like 30 years at this point?
>>67855289
