there are good stand up acts out there if you look for them. Dane Cook is outstanding. nearly choked to death when I saw him at the improv a couple of months ago.

Here's his website

I saw Dane cook a few months back and 100% agree. That man is fuckin hilarious.

I agree that supertroopers was lame. I was just talking about this with a friend of mine, the comedians nowadays are not funny. They all do the same thing only make fun of themselves. Mexican comedians always seem to make fun of them being Mexican, Black comedians usually make fun of white people. I would love to sit down and watch comedy hour and not hear that annoying I'm making fun of a white guy cause this is how they really talk. White comedians always just make fun of themselves and their parents. Its fucking lame.

i can't believe you people don't like Naked Gun.

actually, i can, because Police Squad only got one series because the American audience somehow didn't 'get it'. confused

on this side of the pond, Naked Gun is up there with the greats, and rightly so, in my opinion.

what's killing American comedy is surely MTV and all the lameness that passes for 'comedy' on that channel.

also, where are all the great American stand-ups? i'm not sure about this David Cross guy--- i've only seen him on the Rock Against Bush DVD, but uh... where was the funny?? He's not a patch on Bill Hicks, either for funny or righteous fury.

All the great American comedians: Lenny Bruce, Mort Sahl, Woody Allen, Bill Cosby (or so I'm told whatever ), George Carlin, Richard Pryor, Jackie Mason, Sam Kinison, Bill Hicks... is there anyone to compare with these at the moment?

What's killing comedy is careerism--- boring, middle-of-the-road observations hacked to death by boring wannabe chat show hosts.

You forgot Steve Martin. as far as I'm concerned, his discs are the funniest ones out there.

And I still say Chris Rock and Dave Chappelle are up there. And Denis Leary's "No Cure for Cancer".

ped, you don't go for jackass/viva la bam type shows? those are my absolute favorites. i totally disagree with you though. mtv has some great shows lately, along with their normal lame, brainless ones of the road rules/real world variety. boiling points is another good one. and i adore watching jessica simpson being blonde.

now that's true. that's why i hate talk/late night type shows. they seem kind of pathetic to me.

there are tons of funny stand up comics out there right now. tons! but there are also plenty of lame ones, it's really nothing 'new' at all. You just have to dig.

As for TV shows we've got assorted adult swim shows, family guy, mr show, the state, upright citizens brigade, all the cky/jackass shows, SNL was funny just a few years ago (it goes in phases) trailer park boys, the chappelle show, the daily show, and fucking Conan....theres plenty of funny stuff circulating now imo..more shit than i care to watch actually (fuck TV)

I do however think we should burn ray ramano and carrot top at the stake as a offering/apology to the comedy gods though. And remember, bill hicks is still with us in spirit. Every time you find a dead body covered in urine, bill is there with you.
