[quote name="Devy"]It seems that if a comic deviates from the "This is a thing that I've noticed that happens sometimes" format, they don't make it very far.[/quote]

People like racial and class stereotypes, too. Observational comedy works. It worked fantastically for George Carlin and other talented comics, but it worked because these people had unique perspectives and styles.

There's plenty of that word in James Kelman's or Irvine Welsh's books.

anyone care to recommend any particular standup dvds or cds?

not standup, but i recommend people check out "peep show", its a series by the mitchell and webb couple. its generally regarded as the complete opposite of aids

Devy · Post by **Devy** » 25 Jun 2010, 15:03

I like me some Tim Vine. His is probably the most innocent style of humour there is.

bills bro · Post by **bills bro** » 25 Jun 2010, 23:06

stand up: bill hicks, patton oswalt, ross noble, mitch hedberg, dave chappelle

tv: marion & geoff, human remains, nighty night,

Tim Minchin is great when he isn't trying to be funny

Meat Engine · Post by **Meat Engine** » 26 Jun 2010, 05:13

That is the first thing by him that I have heard. I found it to be quite humorous.

Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy him. I just find that a lot of his songs are brilliant but not particularly funny.

Verbal · Post by **Verbal** » 27 Jun 2010, 02:43

seeing a comedian with a musical instrument is a very good indicator they will be shit

indeed. stating "carlin is boring" should be an offense worthy of the capital punishment. could somebody please decapitate gleeso? the world (and the mabb) would be a better place...

Verbal · Post by **Verbal** » 21 Jul 2010, 05:23

carlin is mostly boring and sometimes not boring (and only some of the not boring time is funny)

based on the stuff ive seen/heard

Stewart Francis is fucking brilliant, he deserves way more praise than he gets.

Devy · Post by **Devy** » 23 Jul 2010, 00:09

For the englishers who liked him, he's apparently on Mock The Week again tonight. I think if they decide to go with another full time comic to replace Frankie, it should be him. He clearly gets Frankie's seal of approval considering how much he was laughing at him.

Verbal · Post by **Verbal** » 23 Jul 2010, 00:20

i dont think ive ever watched mock the week other than on dave

what time is it at?

im generally not a big fan of his style of comedianing, but i remember that bit and it is quite god

mitch hedberg also had some dealings with the win: *representative youtube clip*

Devy · Post by **Devy** » 23 Jul 2010, 00:31

10pm on BBC2

Verbal · Post by **Verbal** » 23 Jul 2010, 02:13

danke schon

i assume you are a fan of peep show..?

actually, david mitchell wouldnt be a bad choice of replacement for fb. or maybe he could replace one of the other twats. any show can be made better if david mitchell is there
