Name a better comedian pro tip you can't

>>714815085
I have all his stuff and I have listened to it many many times. But it's not valid to say he was the best comedian. There are different styles. He certainly was one of the best of his style, no question.

He has a good writing team TBH. Earlier in his career he did the whole "shock jock" but that was more like less dangerous jackass pranks. The HS show was funny because of his writers. But he is definitely a genius.

Ya, but ya got to give it to Jimmy Carr for being both English charming and having some of the rankest, rottenest jokes out there period.

>>714815085

Hicks was not that great tbh. He was strongly opinionated for his time and not at all afraid to show it, but that doesn't make a great comedian.

Eddy Murphy was funnier than Hicks. No contest.

why do people think Rickles is funny?

If your measure of comedic merit is unpopular opinion, then I guess so, he is up there with Carlin.

There is something to be said for traditional comedy, and, you know, jokes. Rather than conspiracy theories with unconventional delivery.

>>714820210
The last time i saw his show he had like jd, sal governale, and i can never remember the blonde dude. But he has a shit ton of writers. Most of them go off and develop shows. He defintley has the best writers money can buy. Dude makes like 67 million a year.

You do have to scale it a bit for the era they come from. Way back when most comedians worked only clean, he way saying things and making jokes on stage that were a bit shocking. Pushing the envelope, and opening the door for future adult comics.
That, and some of his stuff is just genuinely funny.

>>714815085
i can't get over how this guy does the part on christians implying they're all rednecks. It may have been relevant in his time and I agree everything should be allowed to be made fun of but it's just an annoying low hanging fruit type of piece to do. Also, he's smart as hell and seems pretty enlightened, but he seems real spiteful of religion like most other comedians, which just isn't funny which is the whole point of being a comedian. Like, too many of these motherfuckers try too hard to be george carlin and be all political and forget that most people watch comedians as a form of escapism to have a laugh and forget the problems of the world.

I really like Hicks, but my criticism is that he would sometimes drag out a joke for a just bit too long. Sometimes till it became unfunny, and instead tedious.
Then again, it might be my attention span.

>>714820817

Look. Youre either an angry white man, or part of the problem

>>714818326
Add Christopher Titus to that shit list.

Gotta say, I like Jeff Ross. He's always making material, no matter what you think of the quality.

>>714824414
Yeah that's why I said it may have been relevant in his time.
But you're correct, the rednecks were probably the fedora atheists back then, so it doesn't translate quite as well in this day and age. But I still think that comedy is more important than political discussion for comedians (although I do think an """"unbiased"""" political insight is important for some comedians) Which is why I rate other comedians higher than him although I know that he is good in his own right.

>>714824469
yeah louis CK is funny as hell, not to sound like a hipster but his newer shit is just less fresh and seems lazy, like he did a part about crying and it was super cringey. But he is still very unique and funny

>>714825275
