>no Mitch Hedberg
don't be alive anymore
recommend me some clips of your favorites please
never heard of him, I'll check him out
no need to be a bully
Jim Norton was good on O&A, but his stand up is OK at best tier.
>Great tier
>Jim Jefferies
>Jimmy Carr
wew lad
>Jim Jefferies
He used to be fantastic, but he has since sobered up, and isn't nearly as entertaining.
fuck off jimmy carr is awesome
If you are 12
Search youtube for Jim Jefferies or Jimmy Carr, you'll find a lot of great clips, they have the most accessible jokes imo.
Maybe a protip would be to start by watching Jim Jefferies' appearances on talkshows, (e.g. youtube.com
Mike Birbiglia has two great shows Sleepwalk With Me Live and My Girlfriend's Boyfriend, which are basically one man shows / stand ups where he tells his life story. His former stand ups are good, but don't stand out nearly as much.
Jim Norton and Daniel Tosh are a bit more niche, you need to be a bit of a perver asshole to enjoy them.
haha that's a great joke I'll add you to my top tier list.
Saw Jimmy Carr live, one of the most fun nights of my adult life. He's extremely good with his audience, better than any comedian out there i m o.
true, his last routine is not as good, but he still has around 4 great performances out there
He's pretty good at on the fly banter.i enjoyed his Netflix special
Jim nortons stand up sucks dude. He's funny on the radio but i've never laughed at his specials
I thought his latest was kind of weak desu.
He can do it extremely well on the spot. I'm sure most of the jokes he uses he'd prepared in advance, but still, he really kills it with his audience interaction.
Gaffigan is pretty damn funny too.
T b h his political stuff sucked in this special. He'd never been good at it but he did one good routine about gun control which suddenly made liberals think he's their guy so he tried to pander to them.
youtube.com
come on lads, this is pretty good
He's a happily married catholic with 5 kids, I can't take anyone like that seriously as a comedian. Stand up comedians are supposed to be fucked up more than me, that's the whole appeal.
what a god awful list
Why was George Carlin ever considered a comedian? He was just a grumpy old guy with a microphone.
let's see yours
>not ranking Chappelle
Is Jim Jefferies really the best comedian straya can come up with?
>no Norm MacDonald
>no Eddie Murphy
>no Mitch Hedberg
>no George Carlin
>Daniel fucking Tosh
come on now, guy
he's a degenerate lib loser pal.
so? doesn't mean he's not funny
George Carlin is shit tier, see
>carr
>jefferies
>no Stewart Lee
have a word
but he isn't funny and gets way more applause/cheers than laughs from his own adoring audience... he's just an ideologue pushing an agenda
Remember when Frankie Boyle was funny as fuck on Mock the Week and outed himself as a 15 year old Sup Forumstard as a stand-up?
Have you watched his other stand ups than Freedumb? Other than bashing Christians (which is a bit weak but meh) he didn't use to do anything liberal.
R8 plz
>Eddie Izzard
>Tim Minchin
>Bill Bailey
>Tim Minchin
he brings a guitar on stage, enough said
I'm really sorry but that's pretty reddit-tier
any stand-up set with songs in it is automatically pretty awful
Frankie Boyle seems funny on shows and stuff but I legitimately don't understand his full stand ups
Todd Barry 10/10
I suppose I'm not comedically developed enough to enjoy anything but lolrandumb stuff like Bailey and Izzard, and I like music.
Am I a cancer?
What would you recommend?
this. how the fuck can you list him higher and patrice o'neal?
I grew out of standup comedy
well I hate them but if it's what you find funny then knock yourself out
you can only laugh at what makes you laugh
yes and according to this cock gargling faggot op also the best in the world
What makes you laugh?
Share.
I can barely watch specials anymore.
Between podcasts, youtube shows, and satellite radio, I don't get anything out of monologues.
>triggered conservatives pussies call one of the most respected comedians among those in the field shit-tier because he mocked muh Christianity
embarrassing
either retarded shit like anti-jokes/surreal humour
or incredibly basic funny voices and slapstick
Key and Peele?
Wow. If this isn't the best b8 I've ever seen...
>>No Patton Oswald.
Missing out on some of the best stand up out there. Burrs earlier stuff was some of the greatest modern comedy as well
He's trying to get a rise out of you
I used to worship Jim Jefferies, then he moved to California and became a massive SJW. Sad!
...
oh god no
I'm talking about the sort of thing that stewart lee occasionally arrives at after a twenty minute idea
the kind of jokes that are stretched so far and made so surreal that you can only really make them with friends over a few drinks
He always said things some people would consider SJW. Especially about gun control and American patriotism, two very triggering subjects for people who can't bare other people having a different opinion.
>no tom segura
Sorry OP but you failed
>that pic
Todd Barry's Crowd Work special is probably the best stand up comedy show I've ever seen. Not because it is the funniest but I just can't even imagine the sheer difficulty of pulling something like that off every night.
How do you feel about the naked gun / airplane movies?
Plenty of comedians mock muh Christianity, it's unimaginative and boring. Maybe it was funny in the 80s or something, now it's just beating a dead horse.
He's literally right about gun control and I'm considered a righty in Europe. Sorry Americans, your culture is retarded.
I like shitty gags like that but they're pretty dated now
saying that I prefer that to most modern comedy
Patrice O'Neal's brief life and career was enough to justify the entirety of slavery because without it he probably wouldn't have been born.
...
>haha God is a dick, Christians are stupid lol
I'm not even Christian by the way
Comedians aren't correct about anything.
I unironically am conflicted with this.
see
You gonna back that gif up with an argument or...
You want me to present an argument against a complete non sequitur?
Hello readdit
Jim gaffigan is the absolute worst male comedian I've ever seen.
What I always wonder is, why are there no funny right-wing comedians?
comedians are mostly smart
there are very few truly right wing smart people
beware that in the past few decades the political spectrum has shifted to the left
Hate him over memes all you want but Louis CK is easily the best stand up comedian of this generation. I don't care for his show and most of his politics but his writing, timing and delivery are all easily among the best which is rare to see outside of like carlin or rock.

Wew lad
The fuck is with you and Jims?
>jimmy "trash one liners all night" carr
I don't like his style rrrreeeeeeee
his one liners are legit funny
his audience work is the best in the business
standup comedy is too jewish and reddit
I haven't heard really good standup in years. I used to enjoy Louis CK but then he started being tolerant instead of pissed off at deer, his wife, and his fucking kids.
steven wright hasn't done anything in decades
mike birbiglia and bill burr were alright, but suffered from the exact same problem. both knew the dangers of women and marriage, and both thought they knew better and got fucking married.
Can someone explain why if somebody is trying to be helpful, and suggests something you might like with "oh I love him, he's great", you feel prejudiced against it immediately?
>Mike Birbiglia
Sleepwalk With Me Live is the most substantial funny special out there, prove me wrong
Jim Norton and Bill Burr never got married, if that's your criteria
youtube.com
louie c.k., "jokes i mostly never told again"

Dylan Moran.
Frankie Boyle.
Dave Chappelle.
pretty cringey
I fucking hate stand up comedy so much. It attracts the worst most shittiest type of people and even worse fans.
The only comics I can stand are Murphy Pryor and Chappelle.
Never heard of Murphy Pryor before
99% of comedy is bad, that's a given. you enjoy it for the 1%
and it's the purest form of comedy, it's a guy just making you laugh with words he says. there's no animation to go with it, or music, or elaborate stages like a performance.
