Tim Vine king of the one-liners.
Conjunctivitis.com – that’s a site for sore eyes
runner up, Matt Kirshen:
I was playing chess with my friend and he said ‘Let’s make this more interesting’. So we stopped playing chess

1) I saw a woman wearing a sweatshirt with ‘Guess’ on it. I said Thyroid problem?’
2) When I was a kid I used to pray every night for a new bike. Then I realised that The Lord doesn’t work that way, so I stole one and asked him to forgive me.
3) I’ve often wanted to drown my troubles, but I can’t get my wife to go swimming.
4) I was doing some decorating, so I got out my step-ladder. I don’t get on with my real ladder.
5) I went to a restaurant that serves ‘breakfast at any time’. So I ordered French Toast during the Renaissance.
He stole this one from Married with Children.Quote:

That'd be a good way to make a standup career though. Just pull stuff from old tv shows most have forgotten or pull from small movies that many haven't seen.
Not standup comedy, but some of Doug Stanhope's internet-pedo-baits on baiting.org are pretty funny and worth a read through.
Doug Stanhope: Well at least you learned whats important. Now what do you say you fuck my 13 yr old ass!
wertPoo9: i would love to
wertPoo9: i just was wondering, how big are tyour tits for being 13?
Doug Stanhope: I need it like I need a hug and a father figure.
Dude that stuff is old. Most of those made up kids would have kids of their own by now. But old forgotten websites is another subject that probably deserves it's own thread (the crap I used to visit back in 2000 thread...)Quote:

Joe Rogan and Ari Shaffir are both rocking (separate) AMAs on reddit at the moment, although Mister Rogan is just leaving it to accumulate questions and then going to try to smash through as many as possible come the california evening.
Joe Rogan AMA
Ari Shaffir AMA
patrice o'neal's elephant in the room is great
al madrigal's "why is the rabbit crying" is pretty funny. Had never seen him off the daily show before, but his standup game is strong.
hannibal buress's animal furnace is v solid
The two funniest comedians if you ask me :)

Jack Dee's standup has never been anything special, but I'd watch it. Tbf when he started doing it, it probably was fantastic but as I'd seen lots of similar styles before I saw him even though they came after I had already seen it done.
Lead Balloon is one of the better things I've watched on tv though.
Sean Lock is >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> though. Probably my third favourite.
+1.Quote:

Sean Lock's been one of my favorites on QI, but I've never bothered to check out his standup. Maybe I'll give her a try.Quote:

I didn't know it was cool. :( I rescind what I said about his special, I meant it used to be v solid.
Aaaaaand now I can't get the phrase "I hooked this Kia Sorento up!" out of my head.Quote:

Don't know he's on this thread somewhere: Frankie Boyle

Norm Macdonald doing stand up.
I saw Chappelle, Buress, Demetri Martin, Flight of the Concords, etc this weekend. Chappelle crushed it. Buress didn't disappoint, and the rest weren't bad at all. But Chappelle crushed it.
wait, this was live? I've only heard negative things about Chapelle's recent stuff, would be awesome if he's back on top of it
Lol, negative things? From who? All he has done in the last few years is some unannounced appearances at small clubs-- that is until now he's headlining the funnyordie.com Oddball tour. He had nearly 20,000 people laughing their ass off and got a standing ovation.
Do you have any links to negative reviews? It would be interesting to hear.
I think it was from podcasts although tbh I might even be getting confused with Kat Williams (all hearsay about black people looks the same), also as you say it was from people who'd seen him at small clubs so probably he was just working on new material. Pumped for his new act if it gets released as a DVD or whatever now
lol@ confusing Chapelle with Kat Williams.
oh shit wait I was thinking of obama
lol
I recently watched nick swardson & kyle kinane's most recent specials and found both to be quite full of lulz. I tried to watch ralphie may's latest special and didn't last 10 minutes... any ralphie may fans out there to convince me to keep trying?
I remember thoroughly enjoying some of ralphie may's stuff, but some other of it was just race stuff that may or may not have been funny if you grew up with southern americans and mexican folk but certainly missed me.
Having said that I couldn't get through Dancing around the Shit Fire or w/e Kinane+frands recent special was called so maybe some divergence in taste here. Enjoyed his Whiskey Icarus from last year though.
any other shows like John Oliver's New York Standup? Don't have to suffer too long if they're bad and a healthy dose of good in there etc.
Wat I didn't know he had another one, I was talking about whiskey icarus.Quote:

cant be assed going through the whole thread to see if he's been mentioned yet. but i'm currently watching jason byrne for the first time and he seems quite funny
upon completing the show, he actually just swears heaps and abuses the audience in his dublin accent. some good bits thoughQuote:

Aziz Ansari. Definitely different. A lot of his stuff is great, but i find myself getting bored and annoyed at times. there are stretches that I find myself laughing a lot.
I also love Bill Burr. The fact that he's actively trying to educate people (like how to treat a dog, etc) is amazing and still biting and funny.
Maeve Higgins is pretty awesome, has a Irish tv show which I really enjoyed watching over the past few days is on youtube.

Kaufman alive, or just pulling of the sickest long game prank ever? I guess, either way, the second premise is true, eh?

Saw this at the gym, with his brother presenting it at some fancy happening in a suit on a stage. The best way to honor this specific loved one would be to nurture this myth for as long as you can, methinks.
There was an interesting episode on Marc Marons podcast with Bob Zmunda and Tony Clifton that shed some light on the weirdness.
In other news I just learned about Jesilnek's show on comedy central just after it was cancelled, and apparently immediately renewed. Marathoned through the first season, and holy shit I can see why that is one hot potatoe for comedy central.
jeselnik offensive is great, though I feel some of the later s2 panels were weaker.
Doug Stanhope
I don't know how i haven't run across this guy before. I haven't watched a lot, but interested about others thoughts?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2noFZhLAVvU
I like his older stuff better. His latest specials are like...too dark for even me iunno. They're still good though. stanhope is great drunk as fuck comedy.
iunno, I liked Beer Hall Putsch a lot. As for the opinion of others: Stanhope is kind of a big deal.
Morgan Murphy has her special out now. I'd love to tell you what I think about it but there's no netflix in my country.
recently watched Colin Quinn's "Long Story Short," which satirizes various world empires. It's pretty goddamn hilarious and brilliant at points. It's on netflix. Also on youtube in parts.
