Favorite Comedian

[pinkeye]

chris rock is the funniest man in the united states, perhaps even the world:

Rock references Sept. 11 only indirectly -- but effectively. He remarks on the patriotism that has surged during the war in Iraq. "You see these weird white guys getting overly patriotic, and they have their ****in' flag hats on, and their flag drawers, and their flag pickups. 'I'm American, man! I'm American! **** all these ****in' foreigners!' There was a lot of accepted racism when the war started. 'I'm American, man! I'm American! **** the French!' That was cool. Then 'I'm American, man! I'm American! **** all these Arabs!' And that was cool. Then they went to: 'I'm American! I'm American! **** all these illegal aliens!' Then I started listening, because I know that niggas and Jews is next."

reminds me of pastor niemöller's famous quote:

First they came for the Jews
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for the Communists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Communist.
Then they came for the trade unionists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for me
and there was no one left
to speak out for me.

[2Sheds_Jackson]

It's funny because it's true! As a white American, I hate everybody that doesn't look like me!

And it's true about speaking out for others...since America's military is oppressing terrorists, who among us will speak out for them?

Please people, lay off the terrorists! They have every right to live life their way, to pursue their goals without undue Western oppression. How dare we apply our cultural norms to them, how dare we oppress their religious glorification of justified holy retaliatory killing (was gonna say murder, but that's a no-no..we' mustn't judge). It's racism at its worst!

Well, I've got to return to oppressing the dark skinned peoples of the world, no time to chat.

[2Sheds_Jackson]

It's funny because it's true! As a white American, I hate everybody that doesn't look like me!

So ure racist?? dont get it??

It's perfectly simple, if people would just take the time to review the many posts here by some of our more well informed members it will be perfectly clear that;

America is responsible for all evil in the world, whether by taking action, or failing to take that same action - it doesn't matter which.
America's evil is uniquely concentrated among it's white population - but only the men, because women are a dominated majority (classified as a minority) and therefore cannot be evil.

So, again, Earth=evilest planet supporting life (that we know of), America=evilest nation, white=evilest skin color, male=evilest gender.

So jeez yes, as a white American male, I'm the friggin' embodiment of evil itself - of course I'm a racist (also a murderer, usurper, and small minded wiper of other people's bottoms). I even hate myself - who the hell do I think I am 2Sheds, me friggin prick?! I'm gonna go sabotage my own career in an effort to tyrannize & dominate myself. I'll show me not to get all uppity.

[StarvingStudent47]

1. Chris Rock is damned funny.

2. Nothing is sacred to Chris Rock. He will rip on everything and everybody. So today's target was flag waivers. Big deal. He once had a hilarious skit about how dumb Kosher foods laws were. I nearly pissed my pants laughing. But that doesn't mean he's anti-Semitic. Saying that he's anti-patriotic because of this monologue is like saying he hates African-Americans because of his "the difference between Black people and n-----s" monologue.

[UkrainianAmerican]

Chapelle is cooler.
Chris Rock is a cheap-ass. Driving around in a 94 Altima.

[Merik]

Chris Rock reminds me a lot of Eddie Murphy in his stand up days. And a little like Richard Pryor.

[Romulus]

Chapelle is cooler.

I agree. I also think Chris Rock got played out since that last lethal weapon movie. Dave Atell is better than both of them though.

[Ria]

Does Chris Rock ever make jokes not pertaining to color/nationality? :roll: He's funny sometimes, but it gets so annoying after a while.

It's a prerequisite to be a black comedian that you must focus your comedy on clashing groups. ;)

but why?...it seems to only drive a wedge between these groups....pryor didnt always go off on being black...he talked about drugs, and social problems....beyond issues of race...rock seems to have the punch line of "im black" to every joke....

It's really just what's expected. White comedians are supposed to make fun of little quirks in behavior or pet-peeves while black comedians are supposed to make cracks at different races. It's just what people expect to see from them, unfortunately.

Im a huge fan of sinbads stand up but I cant seem to find any videos of his stand up. Anyone know where to look?

[Khabbi]

[Stormy]

Sinbad is good, You have a nice Avatar M1, I must help a man that got a avatar like that!

[M1A2U2]

THAN HELP ME!!

[Q]

Hope his standup is better than his sitcom... it sucked bigtime

[scrybe]

I remember watching one of his on TV a few years ago. I remember him joking about how when you are in college you are dirt poor. When you find a dollar on the street it's like the best thing that ever happened to you. It was funny.

[Lifeinasmallbox]

you can buy a cd of his stand up called "brain damaged" at walmart for like 10 bucks.....i have a recorded tape of his best show but ya cant post vhs...sorry

[Uncle Sam]

People making fun of Bush can be funny, it's the ones that go "Yeehaw im george bush, im gonna invade Alaska because there's oil there! hahahaha im the funniest and most intelligent person alive! Majority of the country is dumber than me because they voted for him!" that piss me off, but c'mon Chappelle's Black bush sketch is friggin hilarious

Old school Eddie Murphy back when he was wearing leather pants and hanging out w/ Rick James.

[digrar]

I was watching Anh Do talk about his worst stand up gig yesterday. He was at an RSL club (returned & services league) performing for about 500 WWII, Korea and Viet Nam Vets. He reckoned after five minutes of dead silence he decided to press at the exposed nerve and said something to the effect of "you blokes are all thinking that he looks like somebody who's shot at me before." They all burst out laughing and he got on with the show, no drama's.

[Nawlins]

Although I admit I'll laugh at just about anything... there's something about the phrenetic energy in Robin Williams' standup that gets me every time. Chris Rock is pretty funny too... but sometimes he's really a bit crude for my taste.

True. Ron White seriously has the funniest routine I've ever watched, but I've never seen him do any new jokes. It's exactly the same on the Blue Collar Comedy Tour movie, his "They Call Me Tater Salad" special, and his Comedy Central Presents! episode.

Did you know he used to do stand up comedy? It's true. I just found that out today and I was just wondering if any of our Australian members ever caught his act. He seems like a pretty intense guy and I'm betting that he wasn't that funny. I mean that guy was the Hulk for Christ's sakes. PS - Am I the only guy here who saw Munich? I've seen that movie twice already. It was f***ing awesome.

[Ria]

Standup comedy?? I never would have guessed.

Oh Clete...I saw Munich...NOT impressed. I doubt I'll ever see it again. :|

[Clete Torres]

You're drunk Ria. Best movie of the year.

What the fkasdfksfdsfhjdsdfs best movie of the year my arse...

King Kong beats Munich :)

And I didn't say I hated it...It just didn't touch me. Maybe because I wasn't all that interested in it in the first place. Acting was good, etc. Hm. I dunno. Didn't have that spark for me.

[digrar]

I think everyone in Australia was shocked when he started showing up in mainstream movies.
We knew him best from various skit shows on TV, playing silly characters.


In an ironic twist, Mark Brandon Read (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0973692/), who was portrayed by Bana in the movie Chopper (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0221073/) (2000), has a small role in the film Trojan Warrior (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0313726/) (2002); which he plays a guy named "Erik Bana". This is not to be confused with Troy (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0332452/) (2004) which also stars Bana and features a Trojan horse.

You should see him in Chopper, probably his best role.

[Ria]

Or maybe you're an idiot.

I've come to the conclusion that Ria is just unsophisticated and quite possibly antisemitic to boot. Do yourselves all a huge favor and see Munich. You'll be punching yourself in the nuts if you go see King Kong instead. Trust me. It's really that good.

[Ratamacue]

Cute.

I wonder if you'll like it Rat...I think you might. Probably. I'm always up for appreciating movies that everyone else raves about, regardless of my own personal opinion. After all, being labeled antisemitic can be quite the stigma on your social life at MP.net.

[BiZ]

Eric Bana not only had his own (short lived) tv comedy show he also did regular skits on "Full Frontal" in the early 90's.

"The Eric Bana Show Live" (1997) TV Series
"Full Frontal" (1993-1996) TV Series
"Fast Forward Presents Full Frontal "

His most notable apperance in Full Frontal would have to be "Poiter" the bogan.

As a comedian, Bana is pretty good going his older work.

"Chopper", although not a comedy per-se (dark satire maybe?) is very funny and done extremely well by Bana if you have some idea as to the background of Mark "Chopper" Reid and his tall tales beforehand.

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0051509/

"I did stand-up for 10 years before acting"

I'm suprised no-ones mentioned The Nugget or Finding Nemo....

I haven't seen Munich yet, but I think Clete is right. King Kong was complete crap. Totally unbelievable, I mean...a giant ape and some blonde chick fall in love. Do you know what that would do to her ******?!

two very good comedies that he's been in are 'the castle' where he plays the kickboxing brother in law, and the nugget. both low budget australian flicks but still bloody funny

There is a bigger dude I know, hes the funniest guy at work
He made the point to me that "he is never hungry" see one day he sat down and ate "Two full meals" like two hot plates of food one lunch and one dinner.

This feat put him ahead one meal, he is always eating one meal ahead and thus dosnt get hungry, for there is no need.

Pretty damn funny if you ask me

[gaz]

That's because the Oscars suck.

Seriously; ask Gaz.

I have serious issues with the Oscars ever since the '94 Forrest Gump / Shawshank Redemption debacle and the '97 Titanic / LA Confidential travesty.

They may as well just go ahead and change their name to The big self congratulatory wank-fest that lasts for three hours and has Billy Crystal boring the sh*t out of everyone, but that may be too long to fit on the screen.

[zonk]

i personally am a huge fan of dave chappell and john cleese, but consider john cleese to be more of a comedian. so tell me based on what you have seen who do you think are better comedians...the brits or the yanks..

As far as stand-up comedian, I'll take an american over a brit but I prefer British sketch comedy to American.

[Gauntlet]

I the Brits are better. American comedians rely so much on bad language to make a joke funny and I find it annoying to hear the same curse word over and over. But the Brits rely more on plain old wit so they get my award.

[mudbunny]

"I the Brits are better. American comedians rely so much on bad language to make a joke funny and I find it annoying to hear the same curse word over and over. But the Brits rely more on plain old wit so they get my award."

To a certain extent, but British comedy tends to be more dry than week-old turkey.

[zonk]

british slap stick is pretty funny. i do sit down and watch a few of their shows on bbc world everynow and then but i am unsure of their names

i think that french and saunders is one

there is this one where they work in a department store
another where its a bunch of villagers and a lady says"may i helllllpp you siiirr" "this is a local shop for local people"


in america its" im rich beeeyotch"

Benny Hill forever guys... even though it's vintage...

I like British comedy, but it's overated.

If we're talking about stand-up then it's American all the way. There are some good Aussie stand-ups out there. Brits pretty much suck at it, though. Canadians are only a bit better than the brits.

As far as stand-up comedian, I'll take an american over a brit but I prefer British sketch comedy to American.

I'd agree with that. There aren't too many good british stand ups, and most American sketches go on for way too long and aren't worth it. American shows would take a complete 5 minute sketch to tell the same joke that something like The day today, Alan Partridge or Monty Python would do in a sentence.

[mudbunny]

All of the Second City troupe are greats ie. Candy, Ackroyd, Eugene Levy.

Whats that guy who used to be on late night on channel 4, he was dead right wing and would turn up at political press conferences to have a go at politicians especially the tories, his show involved some stand up, i used to enjoy that.

The king of stand up has to be billy connolly, first time you hear it is obviously the best.
We have this irish american commedian in ireland now aswell who has been stirring the **** of late, des bishop, he had a good show doing minimum wage jobs with foreign imigrants and seeing the reactions of irish people etc to them, does stand up aswell.
Cant think of any american commedians i like, robin williams too scripted.
And there used to be that commedy show on channel four where the commedians had to add lib topics they were given, some yanks on that, funny as fook.

"robin williams too scripted"

You've got to be sh!tting me! You have to be thinking about someone else. I think he used cocaine during his earlier days because he gives the term "tangent" whole new meaning. There's nothing scripted about his stand-up.

[zonk]

eddie murphy, robin williams, george carlin, richard pryor, ellen degeneres...all examples of fine american stand up comedians.

i havent seen any british ones that i remember, its a shame because i think brittain really produces some top notch stuff

Mr. Bean is good, but it's getting old, even though i still laugh at the same episodes 10+ years after seeing them for the first time.

Absolutely Fabulous, Ab Fab, was great. Too bad they cut it.

Red Dwarf is touch and go, Porridge and Dad's Army are great.
