Jeff Foxworthy, Carlos Mencia, and Jeff Dunham suck just as much

With Jeff Foxworthy and Jeff Dunham I would disagree with you, even though I don't find either funny. Even though they're similar to Amy because they just focus to 1 big niche, they're different in how it happened.

Jeff Foxworthy put together a tour and put 'redneck' comedy in the mainstream again. Jeff Dunham went after similar crowds with a different act that was his thing. With Amy, corporations really want women viewers and using shitty female comics to try and get them in.

Fair enough, corporate-made diversity comedians are generally much worse

I can at least quote some Jeff Dunham, Carlos Mencia, or Jeff Foxworthy lines. I've never heard anyone tell me an Amy Schumer joke, besides that rape one and the tampon line (both to insult her).

Foxworthy had a great premise and ran with it, he also put his guys on. Without Jeff we wouldn't know Ron White. Foxworthy is a good dude even though he's probably a bit clean for you.

Kathy Griffin's joke is asking "Really? Really?"

And withiut Ron White, we wouldn't have Vic Henley. Think what we'd he missing out on

Ron White is hilarious I'm sorry that he hangs out with people you don't like. Every time I saw Blue Collar Comedy Tour on TV I would watch Ron, get some laughs, then Engvall comes on and I change the channel.

The guy is a smart comedian who can write a joke and it's not "aww shucks" good ol boy bullshit like Vic Henley et al.

I loved the rickety bridge 20 miles an hour shit. Ron White sold that shit so hard. Hilarious.

My favorite Ron White bit is about the small plane. Also the "Tater Salad" bit is great, and the story about him fucking some girl in his garage and grandma coming in.

Agree 100% with Mencia.

Foxworthy... meh. He's not great but he's not like, offensively bad like Schumer is. Same for Jeff Dunham. He's just mediocre. I don't want to punch my TV when I see him though.

If I had kids and wanted to introduce them to comedy I would put on a Jeff Dunham clip. We are obviously not his audience, but he actually does some edgy stuff for a family type comic. He is also just a talented performer, so I have zero issue with his success. Schumer isn't and has never been funny, no matter what audience she was selling to.

Ralphie May and the fat spic who says he's fluffy.

Ralphie May isn't that bad. Google 'fuck a bunch of Indians.' It might change your mind.

Will do, I'll give him a shot. I just haven't been hype on his stuff before.

You haven't been hype on him?

Ralphie May has a residency in Vegas, retard.

How the fuck would I know where he lives faggot?

Wrong residency

I would argue that either are talented. Ralphie has been around awhile and has put out quite a few specials. Gabriel (fluffy) can at least do noises. Amy has about 3 specials, where 1 she is accused of stealing tons of material.

Ugh I HATE Gabriel, thank you for his name, I was on my phone.

I'll give Ralphie another go.

We don't want to piss them off and have a parade through here.

well I have a good news for you - Fluffer is either dying or he decided to do something to try to extend his life.

you can search for more, I saw headline somewhere the other day but did not care enough to click on it.

Hey, that doesn't sound like good news at all

Fucking Gabriel Iglasias or some shit.

Nick Cannon as well.

Gabriel Iglesias would be great in the role of the black guy from Police Academy. He's at least funnier than Pablo Francisco. "MUPPETS WITH AIDS"

I'll go with Bill Cosby as leader of unfunny/successful comedians. Other than the rape stuff, all of his other shit is awful.

'but you seee..what's with the thing the guy did for me the guy aaaba hiba guba gooooo?'

What, you don't find long form stories about being a high school football player and a mundane thing happening funny?

The best part of that story is that Carlos Mencia (ie Ned whatever his real name is) actually stole that story, literally word for word, and put it on one of his specials. Like it's not even arguable, there are videos where people play them side by side and it's literally the exact same story, same punchline, everything. Ned chose to steal from one of the best selling albums, by one of the most well-known comics of all time. Hr can't even fucking plagiarize properly

He'll of a closing bit tho. Almost as good as Michael Jackson's pedophile bit

I saw Cosby post-rapey, but before anything had come out. He killed for an hour. Seriously funny.

His compulsions are escalating.

i saw him right before that scandal came out. most of it was pretty unfunny and about his success and life. just the way all those big guys go towards the end. real soccer mom crowd too.

however, i did laugh a couple times and in hindsight it was at stories that were a bit sexually inappropriate, hahaha. he's still got it.

You ever heard of this guy Dane Cook?

The Dane Cooks?

I believe you meant Margaret Cho. She's Dat Phan with "edgy" views and has been spreading cancerous San Francisco bullshit for 20+ years.

Sf rocks, Margaret is from Oakland.

San Francisco is a place where "people" shit into the escalators so often that they stop working. San Francisco is the city where you have to not only dodge dogshit but human shit on the street.

Good restaurants but SF absolutely doesn't "rock"

That's what people who can't afford Silicon Valley and SF Bay Area say.

Lmfao this guy doesn't understand that when you shop on Market Street if you walk down a block you end up in a very "dark" neighborhood.

I'd be proud if I were a regular joe though, you know - not some high falootin' ivory tower guy like you. Just gimme a container of coffee - and I'm happy.

Dats cool.

Where, pray tell do you live in the Bay Area?

You know nothing about me fellow redditor yet assume I must not have been able to afford the liberal wasteland.

That's why you people are such fags.

Oh come on. I'm sure you are fine. I live in a town called Atherton it's about 30 miles south of SF right next to Palo Alto. I honestly didn't mean to set you all this much. I DO love the Bay Area but was more poking ya. Part of can't wait to get out !

Sorry, I assumed you actually WERE one of those people who thinks the only reason people don't like SF they don't have money. I was living in SF I won't say where but it definitely wasn't the TL, HP or Bayview.

The fact that you can shop at Westgate, walk one block down to 6th and market and get mugged for all your shit is what I find so horrible about that city.

Forgot I was on O and A subreddit and someone might just be trolling me.

Since you're both from the San Fran area you should make up and slather cum on each other.

Wow that was a pretty original one there, Jimmy.

You live on hill. Shut up. San Francisco stinks

The Bay Area stinks. It will just take another decade for everyone to realize it.

anybody that says a city "rocks" is instantly wrong and should be hung for spreading lies and propaganda.

Except she's from Oakland

So you must be a big Paula Poundstone fan.

Didn't she rape her adopted child...?

Something like that.

Aziz, might be less successful, but he may be the worst person to ever call themselves a comedian, at least Vince Champ made 'em laugh.

Aziz came instantly to mind. His stand-up is just him telling slightly odd stories with no attempt at a punchline.

Aziz has to be my guilty pleasure as a comedy fan. "Ching Chong ding dong where's my keys"

Iliza Schlesinger's joke writing skills are just as bad. Then you got Dane Cook, Larry the Cable Guy, Ralphie May.

Andy Kindler.

I would agree except he's not successful.

Depends on your definition. I mean people know who he is. For a comedian that's fairly successful.

Comedians know who he is, but I couldn't think of a single person that I know (past or present) who would know his name at all, much less as a comedian.

We both know who he is.

And considering how absolutely dogshit he is at his chosen career, that's damn impressive.

Eh, the only reason I know his name is from people on 2-3 podcasts and shows saying what a hack fraud he is. I've never heard anyone say anything remotely positive about him.

Jim Norton and Nick Dipaulo both defended him against accusations of him being a hack. They really let me down.

Ugh fuck him. I hate him a lot. He bombs on everything but hey he acknowledged he's bombing so clearly he's not bombing anymore. Stupid jew with a jew face

I don't know, "AND AN OB TAMPON WHOOP WHOOP" had me in stitches.

Kathy Griffin, Ralphie May, Jim Carey, Bill Cosby, Kevin Hart, Gabriel Iglasias, Dane Cook.

I was going to say Dane Cook, but I'll concede both Amy and Dane have occasionally made me laugh. I've never laughed at anything Russell Peters has said.

[removed]

No one has mentioned "I'd like to see you work a state Fair" Gallagher? Or Gallagher II? One of the few times I could tolerate Marc Maron. Hey, there's another one. Marc Maron. Tried to be the "liberal Rush Limbaugh", somehow that failed, so he started his podcast which would never have gone anywhere if it wasn't one of the first ever. I mean, interviewing comics about their craft? Either he actually wanted to be a modern Alan King, or he just realized he wasn't funny and had no other choice. And now he fucking sells out theaters and has more success than much funnier people just because of that audience he's built. Never laughed at him once.

Or how about Trevor Noah. Who has ever laughed at anything Trevor Noah has ever said? It's barely even a comedy show anymore, it's a show to make liberals smile and nod knowingly while congratulating each other for being so much smarter than everyone else.

When Patrice tore apart Gallagher, God did that show Gallagher true depth of unfunniness.

But how the fuck has Marc Maron become relevant? He is strikingly unfunny. He has zero insight, zero forethought, just wings everything like a junior in high school producing a documentary film. Get rid of him.

Hat about that Indian guy Isneezd Imsorry

I don't care what anyone says, Dane Cook has given me some pretty big laughs.

Jim Norton

I would argue that jim Norton is funny but not successful

He's funny on the radio, not as a stand up comedian.

Dennis Leary. Adam Sandler. Whoopie. D.L. Hughley (however you spell his last name). George Lopez. All his shit is the same and he reworks the same bits over and over.

More like huge-ly overratted tsss

And on top of that, she's a massively phony cunt.

I would agree except he's not successful.

Ugh fuck him. I hate him a lot. He bombs on everything but hey he acknowledged he's bombing so clearly he's not bombing anymore. Stupid jew with a jew face
