In 1996 Andy Kindler offered $1,000,000 to anyone who could produce a video showing that Whoopi Goldberg was funny.

Even if you're still upset that he made fun of Louis CK for being pretentious and Ant for being racist, you've got to admit that's pretty fucking funny.

i'm offering $2,000,000 now to anyone who could produce a video showing that Andy Kindler is funny.

parallel thinking?

Amy Schumer is going to steal this idea.

That, or a chain of sausage links.

Wassat?

"BJ Novak gets the Perseverance Award for graduating from Harvard and being unemployed for the entire plane ride to Los Angeles."

"The Magician Award to Mike Birbiglia. It must be a trick! I don't know what he's doing! But it's working! I don't see any wires!" - From the State of the Industry. I like those jokes. Shrug.

The Novak joke is good. The other one is only funny because it's about Mike Birbiglia.

All the bullshit aside, I just don't find him funny. His lack of funniness makes me find his smugness and projected-air-of-comfort, like he 'knows' he belongs there and so he doesn't have to prove himself, really bothering.

As a kindler fan I kinda know what you mean. I think he's funny but he's not funny enough to be such a cunt about it.

Kindler has such a poor understanding of humor. Everyone laughs at the goosestep joke, then he adds the shitty tag about limping curmudgeons, then tries to defend it when it shits the bed.

He's just like Opie. He can't let funny be funny, he needs to find a way to ruin it.

Good one... Good one...

Andy Kindler is funny. I fuckin hate you guys.

If Andy Kindler is funny, then why isn't he on the extremely short list of O&A approved funny comedians which includes Jims Florentine and Breuer? Check mate, open-minded comedy fans.

That is amusing, but I'd still say Whoopi is funnier than he is.

I'd listen to Whoopi discuss an app she just learned about over Andy discussing something he's done his entire professional life.

Whoopi's name is funnier than he is.

It always makes me think of farts. And vague time sensitive Star Trek species.

you've got to admit that's pretty fucking funny

No, not really. The only way Andy could be funny is if he was performing his act at Dauchau in 1943.

I'm surprised Kindler hasn't gone to a Neil Hamburger show then killed himself in a parking lot.

HAMMMMMMMMMM-BURGER

Ahh shucks ducky quack quack

in tha house

I'm not sure what you mean by that but you better not be talking shit about Neil Hamburger or I'll start a rumor that you're a fuckin poop pants.

ANYONE that talks shit about Neil Hamburger deserves the forced-viewing Clockwork Orange ending video loop of a continuous Harry Hater marathon.

Just checking, you fuck.

This sub should become more Hamburgery.

Utterly justified and understood, pig person.

Also I just got it. Because kindlers act is basically making fun of comedy itself, and Neil Hamburger does that but way better. Also I hope you're watching On Cinema because he's fucking brilliant. I'm still drunk from yesterday.

So glad others watch that as well. The James Dean faked his death Oscar Special moment is one of my all time favorite things. Also, met Turkington in December and he is fucking cool as hell. One episode of "Decker" is better than Kindler's entire career.

I actually like Kindler but I'd have to agree with that. What was Greg like? I always picture him as a Kaufman style person who never breaks character like an asshole.

andy is one of those hacks that tells bad jokes that hipsters pretend to like but wont laugh at because they are cooler than laughing.

then when the audience is just dead, he will make a weird noise until they give him a pity laugh.

Kindler isn't even popular enough to be considered a hipster comedians. If you hang around hipsters, they like Louis CK, Zach Galifianakis and Patton Oswalt. They don't even know who Andy is.

Those are the hipsterist ones you could come up with? Zach was in three hangover movies you ass.

I didn't come up with anything, those are literally the people I hear quoted the most by hipster type dudes. Not The Hangover, but his Purple Onion and Comedians Of Comedy bits.

Louis is far too popular to be hipster approved.

Hipsters don't go deep with comedy. They are the ones loudly pontificating with a group of 12 people wearing neon camouflage hats and tank tops. You're confusing hipster with comedy nerds. A comedy nerd is the dude at the table next to the 12 hipsters, wearing a hoodie and khaki pants, sitting by himself with his headphones on.

I don't want to know any of them.

"You don't have to" - Esther Ku

He's more somebody who comedy nerds pretend to like, since he is so focused on it as an industry. They also pretend to find Reggie Watts hilarious.

Reggie Watts is funny, though. Even if he doesn't make you laugh, at least he's unique. Andy Kindler is not.

He's entertaining, interesting, talented, sure, but he really isn't funny beyond being mildly amusing even if he is a genius when it comes to doing his act. But comedy nerds will try to act like he is tapping into this next level of clowning or whatever that you simply don't understand.

offering money to degrade and humiliate a black woman.... 1863 never happened as far as Andy Kindler is concerned.

Instead of crying that a non O&A approved comedian told a joke at Cumia's expense, this sub should dedicate itself to promoting Kindler as a jew so self hating that he simultaneously denies and celebrates the holocaust.

Andy kindler is funny you guys. You guys are dicks.

Im suprised he has that much money

His family is mega rich. His brother is the head of Mergers at Morgan Stanley after being a hedge fund manager. I believe his dad was in that business also.

So that must be why everybody in the industry is nice to him.

Can you give me a source on this? His Wikipedia is what they call a "stub".

Here's his brother His page is also a stub. But it shows his position at Morgan Stanley. I can't remember which podcast, it's probably from way back around 09, Kindler talked about his super rich family. It might be his first WTF appearance, but for some reason I think the person he was talking to was a woman. Maybe Carolla before Kindler called him a Nazi.

His dad is rich.

Kindler sucks a bag of his brothers money

You spelled "Brother Joe" wrong.

Of course Kindler makes it about money lol. I hate when boring rich kids try to be funny, but to try to parlay it into a career of being funny, no. He should be doing finance like his brother.

Add Chris D'Elia to that list.

Andy kindlers retarded glasses and hair are funny than he is.

I have hit a point in my life where I can't distinguish audio of Whoopie from Chris Rock.

Check out the empties man!

If you laugh at it then it's Chris

uh huh

If Kindler didn't go after Ant or take such a strong stance in favor of political correctness, the fact that his career is basically talking shit about people at the expense of him actually making a living in show business seems like it would be at least endearing to people here.

Exactly. Andy Kindler is the douchebag hipster comic's douchebag hipster comic.

Quote of the year and it's only January.

I laughed that time he compared Adam Carolla to an unfunny version of Hitler.

Louis ck is pretentious and ant is racist

You'll curry no favor with logic here.

He's not pretentious, he just hates everybody and is rotten inside.

Well fuck, when you put it like that...

You can only make that joke if you are a funny comedian

Funny? Or material we can use to paint him as a misogynistic, racist?

If somebody was to do that now Kindler would smear them as racist and sexist.

Would he?

No more kindler please...No more kindler please...No more kindler please...

I keep having fantasies of Kindler wearing black and white striped pajamas.

Blue and white?

Years ago I watched the first 20 minutes of a Whoopi Goldberg documentary before falling asleep I think. She had one joke about penis's that was fucking funny. Especially because I didn't expect a good/off colour joke.

I've tried looking for the clip numerous times, but can't find it or remember the joke.

That's fucking rich coming from him. This asshole has never even seen Sister Act!

All this hate because because he shat on your degenerate pedophile god? Andy is a funny comedian but there is an an IQ threshold to getting his jokes, anything below that and the only thing you can appreciate is Dice impressions and Seinfeld quotes peppered with rants about race and NASA.

He's entertaining, interesting, talented, sure, but he really isn't funny beyond being mildly amusing even if he is a genius when it comes to doing his act. But comedy nerds will try to act like he is tapping into this next level of clowning or whatever that you simply don't understand.
