Why do people think Artie Lange is funny?
5 2017-01-24 by packitchofsositch
I'm open to being proven wrong but to me he comes off as a story teller. He relies on those "get this, this one time" anecdotes to get laughs like 2010s Breuer. Once you've heard them there's not much left.

The heroin stories get a bit old. He was a lot sharper during his prime years on Howard. Much like Ant and Jim, he works best when there's a weak link in the room to make fun of. On that recent appearance, he continued to bash Joe long after Ant and Jim started to pull back out of pity.

He's funny, just check out the interview from Stern with Crystal Clear.

Because his agent is room mates with Big J Ocherson or something like that. Take him out for some bleach.

If Artie and Jim didn't have connections to radio, they'd both be middle acts or thereabouts. Artie isn't a good traditional comic, he fibs, and recrafts his old jokes multiple times to get laughs.
Where he, Norton (and Jackie Martling) shine is that they are really good off the cuff. All are at their best spur of the moment.
