They need laughing tracks to get proper jokes.

They lack subtlety and restraint, two necessary ingredients for good humour.

Youtubers in general are not funny, in fact the only humorous thing on the internet are witty replies on anonymous imageboards.
>>
>>57420336
It's true. If you're not willing to take the piss out of yourself you can't move on to other people/things. Most Americans are incapable of doing this, as they tend to live their lives as if they're the suave protagonist of an action/thriller/suspense movie.

It isn't true at all. Self-deprecation is a very small subset of humor, typically done only by very insecure people.

>>57420551
I don't find arrogant comedians like Dane whateverhisnameis and Kevin Hart funny in the slightest. I can't really think of any good yank comedians apart from the ones that are at least slightly self deprecating (Bill Burr, George Carlin, Louis Black, Always Sunny in Philly crew).

I'm not a fan of his, but he is the furthest thing from arrogant, his whole set is one big short joke on him

>Bill Burr

>>
>>57420913
I've only seen a few clips of Hart and I didn't find them funny at all, his demeanour seemed a bit cocky. Chris Rock is pretty funny though.

>Burr

Most of his act is spent discussing how much of a psycho he is, mixed in with making fun of his ugly balding mug and alcoholic tendencies.
>>
>>57421107
The fuck it is, well maybe his new sets but his old shit was always complaining about people and how they were stupid, same thing for Carlin and Black
>>
>>57421157
Burr's older stuff was the same

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7OEPMiYv6fA

Black is classic jewish self deprecation, sure he rags on everyone else just as much but he has a special amount of contempt for himself.

Carlin might be the only exception just because his observational/lyrical skills were so extraordinary.

Don't really like Carlin, the guy's kind of an edgemeister IMO.

I don't know why everybody's complaining about American comedy. We produce a lot of shit but we produce an enormous amount of quality too, and I know for a fact that those shitty Adam Sandler and Seth Rogen movies do very well internationally i.e. in your countries

The best American comedians today aren't very popular. People like Paul F. Tompkins, Sam Hyde, and Scott Aukerman are all doing hilarious and interesting stuff but it doesn't really sell on a mass international scale.

british self deprecation = "I, a British male, know in my heart I am superior to my company, but must pretend not to be so as to not offend my fellows who believe in their superiority just as much as I believe in mine. To not poke fun at myself would be considered offensive to the group; it would be as if I earnestly considered myself to be of a higher social standing, and more importantly, as if I don't care how it makes the people around me feel. To not self-deprecate is an invitation for others to do so on my behalf"

- insincere deprecation

American self-deprecation = "how can a piece of shit like me have such a comfortable, superior lifestyle compared to the rest of the world when I, as an American, am no better deserving than anyone else? How do we have it so good when we act so bad?"

- sincere deprecation

Iv seen comedians outside the US, I never personally could understand their comedy especially the UK comedians.

Even then I could only ever enjoy people like Bill Burr or Arty Lang. Why do people like Louie C.K?
>>
>>57427180

Seinfield had a unused stand up bit...

"To comedians, the truth is just bad material. The last thing you want is for people to just be thinking, "Hey, he's...right. He's a really, really accurate guy."


Iv seen comedians do what George Carlin has done and actually be funny at it.
