people nowadays aren't funny

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

"I'll be the one in the lobby, stabbing jaws"

am i the only one who likes naked gun?

nice beaver? safe sex? reggie jackson is the killer?! fucking OJ is in it for christs sake. come on.

i like naked gun. its a real shame oj doesn't do movies anymore. he's just sooo busy with his hunt for the "real" killer.

I agree theres a lot of crap thats not funny at all, BUT I have to say that Dave Chappelle is pretty damn funny.

When was SNL consistently funny?

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'.

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 ), 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.

supertroopers was one of the best comedys ever. me myself and irene was better though. you people are crazy.

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".

i'm funny. hehe.

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.

aaaah! carrot top!!! get him away from me!!!

conan o brien is the saving grace of humanity.
