Yeah, but you can't be a hipster unless you hate everything that's popular.


Sure, blame it on the hipsters. It was the hipsters who caused his Comedy Central series to be cancelled in less than two months, not the fact that it sucked and was unfunny.

I was at Comedy Works in Denver on Saturday night. Reinforced the stereotype that there are very few funny female comedians. She was awful. Luckily the rest of the show was $$$$.

Hey give the guy credit, he's managed to be a comedian for years without being funny or having talent.

He had some funny moments, but nowhere near the hype some were giving him. Had this friend who way too often wanted to listen to his standup all summer when we were driving (we logged 15,000 miles over 2 months). No matter how funny someone is... theyre not funny after that much repetition.

I didn't want to be the sexist jerk to bring it up, but I don't find any female comedians funny. They come off as annoying more often than not. I suppose Lisa Lampenelli is tolerable but she might be more manly than some of the men on this board.

I can't name a single woman comic that I would listen to or watch voluntarily.

Amy Schumer (Sp?) is pretty funny. Whitney Cummings was alright but for the most part, very few and far between.

Lisa Lampanelli is funny but she does basically men humor. The rest of them I don't find funny at all. Actually, I quit watching saturday night live when they tried to jam Tina Fay, Kristin Wigg, and that other blond annoying lady down our throats. Maya Rudolph was the funniest out of all the SNL women in the last 20 years.

Blue Collar Comedy>Dane Cook>Jeff Dunham

All terrible, though.

Pretty much sums up my thoughts. Jeff Dunham is not funny at all. He gets laughs out of his gimmick.

Regarding Blue Collar, I think that Foxworthy/Engvall/Cable Guy blow, but I really get a kick out of Ron White. I think he has a totally different style/subject matter than those guys and only got lumped into the "Blue Collar" thing because he's from the South.

The Lynyrd Skynyrd to their Molly Hatchet, if you will.

I'm a really big fan of Ron White, the other guys on the BCC tour not so much.

I used to find Dane Cook funny when I was younger, now I think he's annoying.
