Gifts: Gifts And Comics That Appreciate

Posted November 29, 2007 9:52 AM

With so many stand up comedians today it's sometimes hard to sit down and try out someone new. I can't tell you how many times I've sat down to watch some Comedy Central Presents (Mitch Hedberg and a couple others are good though) just to change the channel after the first five minutes of watching some jack off try and be funny. They're all too concerned over making it big and showing just how funny they can be on tv. It's all too rehearsed. They need to have a game plan obviously but once they're up there they need to go with things a little better, say the things that come to mind however "not funny" they may appear. I want real comedy, real people. We all should.

I think that is one of the main problems with comedy today. People have grown too accustomed to sound bytes and reactionary bits that comedians like Dane Cook do so well. Given he is funny sometimes, but next time you watch him pay attention to what makes a majority of his jokes funny: stage presence, weird/loud noises, facial expressions, annunciating words and parts of them, etc. All things that can be funny, but his material is composed of stories that are supposed to be funny because of his actions. Plus he's a cocky dick. I don't know how many of you have HBO or watched his Tourgasm, but he's rude as hell to the other comedians. It's all about him from his point of view. What kind of person wants to laugh at a person like that? I want a comedian like Robin Williams, Jerry Seinfeld, Richard Pryor, Dave Chappelle, Jim Gaffigan, Bill Cosby, etc. All some of the best comedians to be seen. That's because they have content and not just surface value. Actually there's one comedian that gets better the more I check him out, Joe Rogan. We showed his feminism fight, but he has so much more material that's so real. He's straight up and honest about his thoughts and is able to make them and the things around him into humor. We'll give you a little taste of Joe Rogan, but first try and watch Dane Cook. (Try and take the time to watch all of it and notice how he makes his humor)

And now some of Joe Rogan..

I'd recommend checking out more of both if you don't agree. Or other comedians. Just please become less of a reactionary and enjoy some intelligent humor (no Dane Cook).
