Comedic top trumps
0 2014-06-18 by rawdoggydogg
Had weird thought when listening to Burr thread posted earlier.. I often try rank comedians, with Patrice and Colin being my ultimate and Burr the penultimate.
Burr's really good at making an argument funny.
Jimmy is fantastic at "counter-punching", or turning other peoples points into setups.
Colin vocab, references and general observations are the best.
Patrice seems a mix of all of these with being hilariously brash.
Anyway so it got me thinking if there were comedic "trump cards" what would the attributes be? And how would the "friends of the show" score on them?

Don't try and rank comedians, they're all good at different shit. That's why I hate Top Stand Up Comedian lists, they all just go in order of who is the most famous. For instance, Eddie Izzard is fucking brilliant but how can you compare him to Eddie Murphy? Completely different styles, I'd say almost every comedian has a different style to another.

Burr is your penultimate? As in 2nd to last? So is he 2nd of the 3 or is he the 3rd of 4? If so who is 4?
Also don't be a nerd.
