Proof that you do not need talent or charisma to have a career in comedy. Just make sure that you are an insufferably obnoxious ultra-liberal Jew and you will have work thrown at your feet.

One of the mysteries in this game is how so many people go to bat for this guy.
11 Pat_Battle_Storage 2015-02-08
"I am Comedy," not being funny, has always been his act. He's terrible and he's been the exact same style of terrible for twenty-five years.
Twenty-five? Really? Yeah. He's been around forever and knows everybody. And he talks. The comedy business is about the size of a high school, and it works a lot like one.
Look how comics all point to Louis now and say "That's who we all should be." They didn't do that when Louis was the best. They do it now because...they all do it now. There are fifty pictures of Louis in the yearbook, and his name's spelled right in the captions.
Kindler keeps the slam book. In the principal's office. He hangs out there at lunch, with the deans and the school cops, going over the book. He's thinking longer-term.
Being a censorious moralizer against comedy except for Louis is the thing now, not only in the press but inside the business. Kindler's on the next thing. Louis won't be around as long as Kindler will. Post-Louis world is "Kindler was right all along" world.
Then he really is Comedy, finally.
(I think he already is.)

He's probably good friends with people who can make or break your career in the comedic world.
5 TijnTijn 2015-02-08
Maybe he's the in joke of the scene. People love to shit on him and see him miserable like joe DeRosa. Every time I hear him brought up somewhere people trash him.
3 erockarmy1 2015-02-08
He is the patron jewish saint for all the bitter comics who never made it big. He bashes popular comics for not doing comedy the correct way and being hack. But then he goes out there and performs sets that would make Rob Delaney cringe. Still needing the crutch of Jew ethnic humor to stand on. And he is almost 60!
His fanbase are other comedians like DeRosa, who can't make it, and are convinced it is because the comedy world sucks. As opposed to them not being funny enough.
-15 rahtin 2015-02-08
Because he's a respected standup.
20 PanzerSmanzer 2015-02-08
His Letterman set was embarrassingly awful. Just bomb after bomb.

Its always interesting to me that his whole thing is being an asshole in comedy but then is a crusader against assholes in comedy.
Like if you ever heard his bit where he shits on the industry, that bit is all about being an asshole. But when he talks about Bill Maher, Ricky Gervais or Adam Carolla he spits such venom at them that there isn't an attempt to be funny. Because I think he thinks he's a guy who stands up against the bully. But he is the bully. I've heard him get in the mode whenever he's a podcast guest too.
It's like, the perfect example of Rich Vos' favorite AA saying "you point a finger at me you are pointing 3 back at yourself". So the good news is, for those who hate Andy, I think he is just seeping with self-hatred. So much that he can't contain it.

they talk about what a baby back bitch he is on legion of skanks.

Don't need a timestamp but do you remember which episode?
13 breadmoccasin 2015-02-08
I don't think it's fair to say someone is a "respected" standup if they're not funny and their only skills in comedy are kissing ass, knowing the right people and keeping up appearances. Comedy is about humor, as ridiculous as it is to have to say that.
I've seen a little of Kindler's comedy and it's seriously like, ehhhh. Like if it was on Rawdog you'd swap to a music channel.
I don't give a shit if you mow Jerry Seinfeld's grass, if you're not funny, then I don't think you're a good comic. (Sorry Tom Papa.)
1 TriangleDimes 2015-02-08
I think he's such a weak, shrewd little manlet that people look at him like a dog. Just this yippy little fucking thing that you want to pat on the head and throw a bone once in awhile.
1 breadmoccasin 2015-02-08
I love dogs, but I think small dogs should be considered a different species. Hate those fucking things. And I don't care for Kindler either.
12 kgt5003 2015-02-08
I don't think he gets much work. Aside from doing a voice on that Bob's Burgers show all of his credits on IMDB are just one-off walk-on parts for various TV shows. He's also estimated to be worth 500k on celebritynetworth.com which is a site notorious for overestimating people's actual net worth.

This is great. He will never be able to live that joke down. It will be printed on his headstone (aka one of his front teeth)

Does anyone here watch Bob's Burgers? I had never given it a chance until recently, but that is a hilariously well written show. Lots of funny people involved (Besides Kindler)
5 TroyMacClure 2015-02-08
I'd like to make time for it someday. H. Jon Benjamin is usually a winner in anything he does.
4 PokeredFace 2015-02-08
Jon Benjamin Has a Van ruled. Too bad it only got one season.
2 stinkskc 2015-02-08
I also liked Nathan for you both great shows
1 BigGreenYamo 2015-02-08
Haven't caught much of this season, but I've been digging it since the first episode. Having said that, I'm actually surprised it made it past the first season. I just never thought it would catch on.
5 RahnBayngtin 2015-02-08
Yeah, I just got into it over the reruns they air on Adult Swim. I havnt laughed as Hard at a 30 min. Episode of any show in recent memory as I did where Bob's sister in law comes to town to display her portraits of "Animal Anuses"
1 thesynking 2015-02-08
I'm watching it later on today, heard good things.
3 RahnBayngtin 2015-02-08
It makes no sense to me why Fox and Adult Swim would air Bob's Burgers both at 9:30 on Sunday's. Actually... I feel like an 80 year old complaining about TV schedules in 2015. Why doesn't the newspaper print the TV schedules anymore?!?!? I NEED to watch Donahue at 5:00!!!
2 thesynking 2015-02-08
I live in England, I have no idea if it even airs over here tbh. I'll be watching online.
1 Wsallgood 2015-02-08
A few seasons of it are on Netflix.
2 xxmikekxx 2015-02-08
He probably got 6 figures for that season of "last comic standing" he was a judge for (with greg Geraldo & Natasha leggerro), that was the biggest thing in his career
1 stinkskc 2015-02-08
God damn you think they paid him that much? that'd be insane I feel like they pay stand ups less because they get all the exposure for their acts. also I will say vos is a really hard working comedian, even though he's been doing the same set for pretty much a decade.
1 xxmikekxx 2015-02-08
Oh I have no idea. Not per episode but for the full run, hour long network series?
Edit: he wasn't a contestant he was a judge for the whole season. I'm sure the contestants got paid shit

That'll get him! O&A PESTS UNITE!!1
5 anonimescu 2015-02-08
he is the rock'n'roll HOF of comedy,just sadder and with an illuminati brother.
He also had a knife to grind with O&A because he was probably the only comic in the country never to make an appearance(even Silvemann was on back in the wnew days). That probably ate at his petty soul so when Ant was down he saw the perfect oportunity to kick him a bit,since he strikes me as that kind of guy(sad old twitter troll).
I remember him going after Louie (when his show was actually good) probably because he wasn't cast. He is a self-interested sycophant.
3 Slippery_Slope_Guy 2015-02-08
What is it about black sheep illuminati kids that go on to be hack comedians? Look up Nick Kroll's family if you really want to go down the rabbit hole.
9 IggysGlove 2015-02-08
Kindler comes from an illuminati family?
And kroll is no hack. He's hilarious. And even if you don't find him funny he is no hack.
Hack doesn't mean comedian you don't like.
2 Slippery_Slope_Guy 2015-02-08
I use illuminati tongue in cheek but this is Kindler's brother: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_A._Kindler
And Nick Kroll fucking stinks and you will never convince me otherwise.
8 IggysGlove 2015-02-08
Doesn't make him a hack cause you don't like him. And I don't give a care about convincing you. People have incorrect senses of humor all the time.
-4 Slippery_Slope_Guy 2015-02-08
LOL. What is your favorite part of Kroll Show? Is it the part where he acts like an illiterate retard poor dude or an illiterate retard rich person? Maybe the part where he dresses in drag? He fucking STINKS.
1 IggysGlove 2015-02-08
You really showed your hand with "LOL".
I know it's difficult to grasp but I like the show for more than the visuals you are able to comprehend. Because every character you so brilliantly described has a lot more going on than a mongoloid teenager can understand.
LOL? I hope you're a teenager at least.
0 Slippery_Slope_Guy 2015-02-08
Are you trying to tell me that Nick Kroll does mature comedy that is just going over my head because I am a teenager (I'm not by the way)? LOL indeed. I can't imagine he actually has fans above the mental age of 13.
1 IggysGlove 2015-02-08
Teenager is a state of mind. I don't care if you are 20. You a teen. But really, stop with LOL. No one can respect you this way. At least lose the caps. Then maybe one day you can kick it entirely. Your 20s are a time for maturing, you will find yourself. And hopefully you like what you find. Continue with this LOL and not only will you not like yourself, no one else in your life will.
1 Slippery_Slope_Guy 2015-02-08
Why are you obsessed with LOL? Does it bother you that much? LOL LOL LOL LOL

Someone graduated with "Romantic Poetry and music" as a major and still made money? He should be famous for that, if anything.
6 Slippery_Slope_Guy 2015-02-08
When you're a lizard person you can major in anything and still make money.
5 stevex42 2015-02-08
Holy fuck, you're right. I just looked up Nick Kroll's family, and his dad is like a billionaire business mogul. He's definitely a dude that was jerking off in caskets back in college.
7 Slippery_Slope_Guy 2015-02-08
His dad is a billionaire whose company does "corporate investigations" which translates into taking down the opposition for a price. Some real greaseball shit.

Hasn't been on Stern either!?!
3 fullpowerattack 2015-02-08
He is definitely respected. He's extremely irritating, his material is blah unless you're a fan of JEWISH + INDUSTRY + NEBBISH STANDUP = COMEDY, but he's respected.
1 SlamballReunionTour 2015-02-08
Really? Because you'll never even hear anyone refer to him as "a comedian's comedian".

Pathetic, but given the quality of his comedy, well-deserved.
3 callmesnake13 2015-02-08
He's really not a big deal, he just does the state of comedy thing in Montreal and it's become a tradition. He's not influential or well connected, and you guys talk about him more than comics do.
1 SlamballReunionTour 2015-02-08
"Career" is practically too generous of a qualifier.
3 Djs3634 2015-02-08
His brother is literally a billionaire. Thanksgiving must be fun.
3 TheDarkFezRises 2015-02-08
After I heard his state of the industry set I had to search his stuff on youtube, I thought there was no way he could be that bad consistently. What I witnessed was bomb after bomb after bomb, nothing but failure.
What shocked me more was that Nick DiPaolo defended him and said he was really funny and talented. Andy must have some real dirt on him.
2 shameofyou 2015-02-08
he's another bore riding the lucrative wave of victimhood.

He seems like a more enthusiastic version of Jeffrey Gurian. I think both of them just surround themselves with comedians and calls themselves one.

Awhile back, after he trashed some comedian, I listened to a clip of his because I had never heard his "comedy" After about 3 minutes I was so embarrassed I had to shut it off. I fucking HATE when people force me to feel embarrassment. How this guy is at all relevant is beyond me. Repulsive and not funny. At ALL
0 dingobabie 2015-02-08
To be honest he's kind of grown on me, he's an unapologetic hyper liberal cunt..he's more than capable of being funny, he's definitely not a hack and his Letterman set was actually pretty decent compared to 90% of the shit they have on there..I think what most people haven't realized yet is that his stage persona is a massively exaggerated version of who he really is, he's kinda like Dice, just with a polar opposite morality.
2 NoirMagieGateau 2015-02-08
I remember being smashed for saying something similar. I don't find him that funny, and I "get" his act, but it is an act.

Shut up, dickhead. "Oh yuck' is something Jim Norton would say! Now I'm saying it! Yaaay!" Shut up.
By the way, it's the greatest thing ever that 'The Opie and Anthony Show' is effectively dead. These obnoxious, self-important, thin-skinned pricks just ended up going nowhere after they thought they were going to defeat Stern.
Anthony doing a shit podcast nobody cares about, Opie languishing in mediocrity and Norton desperately clinging to his fucking horrible internet show, I guess nobody at Vice told him that the show has been cancelled, while all of his comic friends pass him by.
Hilarious.
