Im gonna go ahead and say it... that's a tough one, man.

Thieving jokes can be a real motherfucker

And also getting popped

*woman

HOT TAKE ALERT!!!

"My dad thought punani was a tropical fruit."

You guys are losing your minds if you think he owes money to this chick over saying that over two decades ago. This woman just wants to steal money from him.

There's so much hatred in this sub that logic is backwards.

Sniff...

Gay man or lesbian woman? I honestly can't tell.

It's Dr. Dre

Drs. Dre

A lesbian but she's seemingly got more balls than any of the male comics who fawn over Peters.

Nia Burr

Good for her.

this, I don't know who she is, but I like her

I love the way he tries to break it down in to how many words the jokes was so it doesn't seem as bad. It was eight words, it's not like I took a long joke. Just a one liner.

It also works for her because she is from the Caribbean and thats where the word punani comes from, and its a youth slang word too, so her saying her dad is so old he thought it was a tropical fruit is demonstrating how old he is and thereby disconnected from a culture he is part of. Him stealing it and claiming his street-lavatory father said it, doesn't make sense.

Man really is a cunt.

It's great to see Indian men are as shady and terrible at comedy like everything else.

Jesus how the fuck does this have upvotes.

shut up bitch

lol

I wonder if Trevor Noah hired her for the Daily Show in an attempt to silence Russell Peters from accusing him of joke stealing?

Fucking thieves everywhere man.

Indian Mencia.

Mind of Mahatma

He wont curry any favor with his fellow comics.

This is the cute part of the thread where we get the pun train going, I love Reddit!!!!!

This!

So much this!

He's a cunt.

It's been at least a decade since I've heard any of Russel Peters' material and I actually remember this one joke quite vividly. It was a memorable part for what become the first viral comedy video. The man on the right does have a right to be pissed off.

Oh you

Dennis Rodman just keeps looking weirder and weirder.

That's not Dennis Rodman, dude.

damn afeni shakur still alive?

This is why a lot of comics tip-toe around Amy Schumer stealing jokes, because A LOT of them do/did it. If you ever see a comic tip-toe around this issue, he's guilty as charged. Fuck them.

And the phony faggots only get brave when the public opinion about the person gets irreversibly bad.

Nah dude, comics defer to amy because she has (or rather hopefully had) her fat fingers in several greasy pies, and basically anyone who licked her shit got paid, thats why no one (least of all the worm) has a go at her. The same is also true with Russell peters to a different extent, he is up there with Seinfeld as a touring comic behemoth, and he has a lot of showbiz connections. Some are also themselves thieves, but most of it is just desperation and worminess.

Why can't you both be right, and comedians are at once miserable hacks and shameless sycophants?

Jim Norton steals jokes from 22 year old Jim Norton.

The worm won't call anyone out because he didn't only steal jokes, he stole his whole personality from the people around him, especially Colin.

That’s not the reason. It’s cause Amy Schumer was giving them jobs. I saw her skit show on and off and she’s basically had the whole loser cellar standup crew on at least once. Hell I think I even saw Anthony in a skit before.

She was on Race Wars with Sherrod and Metzger a couple yrs ago saying Russell was a joke thief, but it never caught on because..who the fuck is she?

Also, who could listen to anything where Sherrod is involved?

For Metzger

Having never listened to it, I feel qualified to say that’s still not worth it

You are mostly correct. There were some great episodes, especially in the beginning. But without a guide of clips, you will find yourself hating Sherrod more than you already do.

Her fame is our responsibility

DJ Khaled VS. transitioning Shannon Sharpe

Shannon Sharpe used to be a machine, homie was part horse I think.

Sinead O'Cooner

Deserved more

They have the same exact hairline.

OH OH, someone link her the video of him jamming his hand up Sarah Tiana's crotch at the end of teh world podcast and #metoo shall commence.

https://youtu.be/p3kdmOQlqfQ?t=3h48m3s

streamable that too if you care, when rogan sees that he'll pull it.

whoa fuck

Yeah, wow. That was straight up sexual assault. The only way he will get attacked for it is if his industry lustre dulls. Sounds like a new project for the sub

What was the comment?

It was a timestamp YouTube link of the end of the world podcast or whatever, the massive comedy panel show about the election. It was almost at the very end, and a girl comic was walking away from the table and ol paki shitskin peters was next to her route, and he touched her ass maybe, and then legit just shoved his hand up her skirt into her box, and she was just stunned. Its the complete definition of metoo

Holy shit, I need to see this.

I got you homes https://youtu.be/p3kdmOQlqfQ

Harvey doesn't have shit on Russell peters

Thanks man. Maybe they're friends or they're fucking? I don't know, it seems so bizarre. And wasn't she a loudmouth drunk all night? I'd figure if he did it and they weren't fucking she'd make a scene. Maybe we can ask her what happened on Twitter or whatever, but I refuse to give that site my phone number. Anyway, thanks for the quick link.

I think that maybe even when you are a loudmouth drunk bitch, when a stranger, particularly a megastar in your field suddenly grabs your pussy, that thats enough to stun you into silence. Its mega creepy to do, even if the girl is your gf, on stage, right next to a bunch of other people, in front of a crowd. So i really doubt they were in a relationship.

yes

Are they even people?

This lady rules haha i wanna hear her take on Ant

WAKANDA VEGEANCE!

He does it better than anyone else but I had heard something about him taking or getting jokes from other Canadian comedians back in the earlier days.

Peters is one of the best natural comedians and at this point he's an old veteran of the comedy world but he really does come across as one of the most immature men I have ever seen be successful. As if he's still a 17 year old.

But anyways, he's a good guy.

He steals better than anybody else? That has to be what you're saying, right?

Oh no, he delivers the jokes better than anyone else. Stolen or otherwise, he's the best at delivering them.

This reminds me of something far too many people, including other comics too, something the often don't know when making accusations:

  • Comedians buy jokes. Their teams buy jokes. This is not at all unusual. It's not crazy that one let's another use a joke.

  • It's not unusual that this isn't discussed by anyone ever. Not just because someone signed an agreement that they cannot discuss the sale but they just don't mention it.

So when you hear a Russell Peters joke and realize you remember like 10 years ago you heard another guy do that it may not be stolen.

Anyways, he's a good man.

Oh no, he delivers the jokes better than anyone else.

I'm going to find you and bury you alive.

I'm going to find you and bury you alive.

Oh man, I read that in Russell Peters voice and pictured him saying it on stage and it made me laugh. really.

Cheers lolz

Jesus fucking christ.

Please do.

So when you hear a Russell Peters joke and realize you remember like 10 years ago you heard another guy do that it may not be stolen.

Stupid cunt.

Nah, its about being 'woke'

Gina Yashere made a joke about her mother? I'm not buying it...

He's the jerk of all jerks.

These joke theives all have the same energy. Peters, Mencia, Schumer, Dennis Leary. There's this underlying lack of confidence or something and they're usually very generous.

She acts like that stupid line was worth an entire career. He did the line and he's rich, you did the line and you're nobody. Maybe taking the joke was shitty but ultimately meant nothing career-wise.

I remember that line so well, I think all of the advertising around his gigs must have shown the joke. She also didn't say she built his career but she clearly contributed.

She should have contributed to her own career.

Point is that a joke thief probably didn't just steal one joke. Half has shit could be stolen, we don't know.

If I’m going to racist, it’s going to be against these corny Indian guys that think they’re fucking cool. Miss me with that shit

She looks like someone I wouldn't like but it's a real nice thing when an angry black lady agrees with you on something.

Mm-hmm

I agree. Russell Peters shouldn't have stolen jokes from Dennis Rodman

Russell

*looks at him hard

Peters...

He looks like a Sanjeev Gupta tut tut

And in one of his stand ups when he asks a Chinese audience member his name, he takes the piss when he gives him an English sounding name.

LOL the Bobby Jindall is strong in this one.

Russell stole jokes from Stephen A Smith?

Too bad he didn't have poison on his hand when he fingered Sarah Tiana

WTF isn't that?

Maxine Waters without her wig.
