I was on the internet the other day, and there was this person on there, on your internet, on your world wide web... Called Anonymous.

And I don't know what this person does for a living, don't know what he looks like... I couldn't tell you ladies and gentlemen if he is a he or a she. But this person, this "Anonymous," sure does POST A LOT OF RUBBISH.

*produces piece of paper and reads from it*

"FOR YOU."
"YOU'RE A BIG GUY."
"I BET YOU ENJOY THE MOVIES OF WES ANDERSON."
"WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR QUEER PARTY FRIENDS?"
And this one's my favourite:
"BRAVO NOLAN."

It seems the new, technologically literate generation socialize exclusively by repeating, word for word, what they've seen on the internet and the more they've seen it repeated, the more acceptable it is to repeat it again...

BABBAGE, BERNERS-LEE, THEIR DREAMS REALISED... THE WORLD CONNECTED LIKE NEVER BEFORE... WONDROUS MACHINES TRANSMITTING TRILLIONS OF PIECES OF INFORMATION A SECOND...

"Ricky Gervais is a fat hypocrite, he is basically just a fatter Michael McIntyre, who is basically a slimmer version of Stewart Lee. Richard Herring is pretty much just an old Russell Howard. Russell Howard might as well be Stewart Lee's cross-eyed son. Lee Mack is just Blackpool's version of Stewart Lee. Dylan Moran is basically a drunk irish Stewart Lee. Stephen Merchant is Stewart Lee's lanky and less funny brother. And Eddie Izzard is just ginger Stewart Lee in a dress. Stewart Lee, Stewart Lee... Stewart Lee. Nobody can understand meta-humour like Stewart Lee. Stewart Lee is the epitome of British comedy. Every shitposter on /tv/ is an idiot, and probably don't understand Stewart Lee."- Stewart Lee

It's okay, but it is essentially a patchwork quillow constructed of the best bits of routines he was ready to dump at that time. There is no narrative arc. 41st best stand up is his best live show, although I would direct people to the three Comedy Vehicles for the masterclass.

My thesis on Stewart Lee: he was adopted and grew up in Birmingham, but his real parents were both Scottish. He is an entirely Scotch man. And the Scotch as we all know are genetically predestined toward being whiny irrepressible bigoted left wingers with a victim complex. Once you see Stewart Lee for the tartan Jew he really is, all of his material suddenly becomes clear and makes perfect sense.

I don't understand how everyone thought Carpet Remnant World was good or even the best. When I saw that show live it was like the point where I realised what a hack fraud Stew really was.

>write a show about how you can't write shows and that everything you do is bad
>but it's le ironic because it does have a structure and is actually super good but he's just tricking you by not bragging about it
>I guess the REAL truth is that nothing is finished and everything is shit and relative but that's what makes it good

how about no, fuck off, and write a real show? one that isn't self indulgent aimless pandering retreads of material you've already done

But he did write it, and it is funny. You're an actual retard.

>>64234363

I think you were laughing because you wanted to laugh. I saw the show during a year where I was being incredibly disillusioned with liberalism. I almost went in order to see if Stew could reaffirm my belief in liberalism, but seeing the show only pushed me further and further away. I guess comedy like many things is very contextual and very cultural and relies upon a shared set of norms of values, and because those values were being dismantled in my head, the framework Stew was using to hang his jokes on no longer seemed legitimate to me, and kind of ended up alienating and pissing me off.

lee is a comedian, he doesn't do jokes where it's just set-up punchline set-up punchline, he's looking at other areas of comedy such as irony or callbacks and self awareness. you might not like it but there aren't many alternative comedians around these days, it's all student comedians inhabiting panel shows nowadays

Humour isn't universal, friend. It is highly contextual. There is a good chance you don't find TRS/Sam Hyde funny because you are a limp dicked cuckold, and that is perfectly fine because that stuff isn't aimed at you.
>>
>>64234471

He's interesting in that he is nominally liberal and does routines defending liberal things and attacking non-liberals, but simultaneously tries to hide behind a smokescreen of irony, hyperbole and absurdism whilst also displaying a completely elitist attitude towards all sorts of things. I think the tension between his elitist hatred of his audience vs. his desire to satisfy their liberal expectations of him has been a pretty productive comedic seam that he's managed to mine.
