Is Earl Skakel funny?

7  2016-08-01 by maynardsabeast

I never heard of him till Roast Battle and he rubs me the wrong way. Comes off like a rich LA douche that hangs out at the Comedy Store non stop cause he doesn't have to support himself making connections and then just acts like the "outrageous" guy that takes his clothes off and yells nigger and faggot.

I also found it very odd that he clearly lost all his battles (especially the final 3) and still ended up in 3rd place. I'm totally open to the possibility that this guy actually rules and I'm wrong, but I'd much rather have people in the know come here and justify my suspicions

Jimmy Carr murdered him and they gave Skakel the win. Horseshit.

Yeah that was bullshit and so was the one against the fat guy K. Trevor. That dude murdered him as well (and that dude actually seems hilarious btw)

Jimmy's jokes were better, but Earl had the better delivery, because he wasn't using a fucking clipboard.

Who and what?

Somehow your summary isn't too far off, yet he is actually great. Earl is lightning quick and prior to Comedy Central getting involved with the Roast Battles at the Comedy Store, Earl killed his spot as the house racist. He's like Ant if Ant's over the top racism was being done ironically.

They said nothing was off limits, but as far as I could tell, nobody brought up the fact this his uncle killed a woman.

K Trevor did bring it up.

If you listen to episode 6 of his podcast "Inappropriate Earl" with jeff danis and ryan oneill, he tells a story about gang banging Carrol Shelby's wife with a ritz cracker bag on his dick. its one of the funniest things ive ever heard. Earl is the best

With a name like that, he better be.

3  RSC-Tuff 2016-08-01

He's 33 and he's never been laid

3  AccidentalRenaissanc 2016-08-01

He looks busy but he's not, he's just walkin' around. He'll pick up some papers and then put em' back down

1  maynardsabeast 2016-08-01

Really? I figured a millionaire trust fund douche, and pseudo celeb "comic" living in Hollywood would be slaying pussy. This makes me hate him even more, at least take all your privilege and parlay it into something useful

4  RSC-Tuff 2016-08-01

Nope. He's a genuine lazy bum.

This is Earl vs some gay guy two months ago. Joe Derosa is one of the judges. He starts talking at 7:57 and precedes to get destroyed by everyone in the room. Pretty funny.

Heard him on some podcasts funny guy. Don't know his standup tho.

The Kennedy cousin who may have killed Martha Moxley? Yes, I've heard his very funny.

I know these words but these sentences make no sense.

Unless his family is loaded, as far as I know he's a low level comic who moved from MN to LA in the last ten years and is working mainly at the comedy store.

Edit: he was always funny on the old Ice House Chronicles

3  SpaceEdge 2016-08-01

He is a Skakel cousins to the Kennedy family. Money is no issues with those two families.

0  DrunkMasterPo 2016-08-01

I thought Earl was a working class, struggling MN comic like myself. :(

1  SpaceEdge 2016-08-01

Pretty much East Coast Royalty. There is a list out there of all the crimes members of those two families committed or got away with its nuts since most of the family is in politics.

1  cumbot6969 2016-08-01

Earl was born and raised in LA

1  DrunkMasterPo 2016-08-01

Thought I heard Rogan talking to him about MN but it was Ice House Chronicles so it was probably another one of the 8 people in the room.

He was on Roddy Piper's podcast until he killed him.

1  Billyassman 2016-08-01

Didn't he kill some girl with a golf club?

1  Jaeromaru 2016-08-01

The other Skakel kills better.

1  jaybone2323 2016-08-01

Well, he is a Kennedy Dynasty tangent. Bobby Kennedy's widow, Ethel Skakel Kennedy, is his aunt...I guess. So he can call on the "elites" if he needs or wants something.

I just think he uses that jeopardy joke (_______ for 500 Alex) way too much; I heard variations on it 4 times in his first 2 battles alone

0  Fluxywild 2016-08-01

He's delightfully racist sometimes. Plus he's a Skakel.

1  maynardsabeast 2016-08-01

Wtf is a Skakel?

an obnoxious, entitled, untalented person with poor vision.

2  EarlSkakel 2016-08-01

1  eastriverdriveII 2016-08-01

Shake it up, brother!
