RSgamer Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Do you like comedy? Have a favorite comedian? How about a joke? (CLEAN, mind you) Browsing youtube, I found one of the most famous routines for a comedy group. sShMA85pv8M Anyone else want to share your favorites?

Zierro Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 I love it. Humor is quite possibly one of the greatest ideas in the world. If someone asked me what the purpose of life was, I would say, "To smile." And comedy definitely achieves that. Even making people laugh gives you a good feeling inside. As for jokes, I find inappropriate jokes the funniest so I can't really share them on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bloodyhatchetbear Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 i love danish standup so i'm kinda useless to this, but the americans i like is: paplo fransisco george carlin penn and teller: [cabbage]. comedy and truth - can't get anybettter + nudity :twisted: but the best comedy made is this: [hide=RIP George]casUr9UsabY [/hide] RIP George Carlin, one of the true comedic geniuses and someone who wasn't afraid to push the envelope. One thing I would like to add. Comedy isn't just about standup or slapstick routines. You can find comedy everywhere. Music is one of my favorite places to find it, especially parodies. Doctor Demento, Weird Al, The great Luke Ski are all extremely talented parodizers (if that's a word). Then there's just straight musical comedy. Bands like Bloodhound Gang (if you look past all the songs about innuendos, even though those are also funny) are talented. Then, of course, some comedians incorporate songs into their act (Denis Leary is one of them). So, find some good comedy set to music.

My top 5 favorite comedians/comedic personalities: 5. Will Ferrell 4. Jon Stewart 3. Dave Chappelle 2. Lewis Black 1. George Carlin Carlin is most definatly the #1 comedian of all time in my opinion. I wouldn't be even half the person I am today without listening to his cd's and watching his specials. The video already posted on here by him is one that changed my life. One of my favorite pieces of work (Strong langauge follows): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satenza Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 My favourite Comedy is Blackadder. With so many trees in the city you could see the spring coming each day until a night of warm wind would bring it suddenly in one morning. Sometimes the heavy cold rains would beat it back so that it would seem that it would never come and that you were losing a season out of your life. But you knew that there would always be the spring as you knew the river would flow again after it was frozen. When the cold rains kept on and killed the spring, it was as though a young person had died for no reason. In those days though the spring always came finally but it was frightening that it had nearly failed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roberthree Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Jim Gaffigan is the guy your thinking of. He's really funny :P. Jim Gaffigan. I keep comedy central on my TV 24/7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nadril Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Jim Gaffigan is the guy your thinking of. He's really funny Ah yup, that's it. :D Also seconding Dave Chappelle. A lot of people dislike him due to being so popular (and the idiots who only quote his show) but he's one of the best stand up comics of our time IMO. He can seriously make anything funny just because he knows how to deliver a punchline, unlike some people *cough dane cook *cough*. Plus most of his "racial" humor isn't just "huur black people" and "huur white people" but actually damn funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zierro Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Dave Chappelle really is funny. He beats Carlos Mencia any day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nadril Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Dave Chappelle really is funny. He beats Carlos Mencia any day. Oh man, Mencia is horrible. I don't know what comedy central thought when they hired him. Also going back to Chappelle, but I like that he stopped doing the show when it started to get dry instead of milking it for what its worth.

OldJoe Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Dunno if we're talking stand-up.. But the whole monthy-python (spelling?) gang are hilarious. Stand-up: Eddie Izzard and Peter Kay. One of my favorite non-cartoon "sitcoms" are Trailer Park Boys! J'adore aussi le sexe et les snuff moviesJe trouve que ce sont des purs moments de vieJe ne me reconnais plus dans les gensJe suis juste un cas désespérantEt comme personne ne viendra me réclamerJe terminerai comme un objet retrouvé Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nadril Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Speaking of non-standup, anything Brandon Smalls works on is great. The ones I know from him are Home Movies and Metalacolypse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaziek Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 more english representation needed! Peter Kay is fantastic, making some of the most brilliant comedy I've ever seen out of stuff that every person can completely relate to. 6Exp81iotSI Lee Evans stage show is brilliantly energetic, and fantastically fast pasted. I love it. 0fwDuere7no By far and away my favourite stand up, and a brilliant actor too, is Bill bailey. He is pure awesome. yfh7tSYVQdU Go Go watch all 10 parts of this show. Al Murray is fantastic, although somehow I doubt the majority of people would like him outside of England. xUdaPNXC_68 In terms of non-stand up, I enjoy a good sitcom, all the way from the Classic giants like Blackadder down to the relatively unknown gems like Black Books. I enjoy family guy and American dad, Futurama, and to a lesser extent the simpsons, As crude as it is, I do have a liking for Jackass sometimes.

Range_This11 Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Bill Hicks- "One Night Stand" Part 1. One of the most amazing comedians of all time. George Carlin- "The Planet is Fine" Another of the greatest comedians of all time. "He could climb to it, if he climbed alone, and once there he could suck on the pap of life, gulp down the incomparable milk of wonder." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warri0r45 Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 My favourite of all time is probably Bill Hicks. Some of his philosophy is summed up in the quote in my sig. The guy was such a rival of all things status quo, and that's a huge part of what drew me to his comedy. Although he seemed like a misanthrope in a lot in his comedy, in reality the guy was quite the opposite. He was really keen on seeing humanity rise to new levels; he was a dreamer like John Lennon. Another one who really challenged the status quo is the recently departed George Carlin. He's been another favourite of mine for some time now. His incredible wit, precision and endeering style mixed with all kinds of crass subject matter was funny as hell. Again, he was a rival of the status quo, not just another comedian in it for [cabbage]s and giggles listing off half-baked jokes. Having said that it's not like they have to be like Carlin and Hicks to be good comedians. I've also been getting into comedy central recently - Colbert, Stewart, Chapelle - they're all awesome.
