>>80380788
never heard of him, I'll check him out
no need to be a bully
>>80380418
Jim Norton was good on O&A, but his stand up is OK at best tier.
>>80380418
>Great tier
>Jim Jefferies
>Jimmy Carr
wew lad
>>80380418
>Jim Jefferies
He used to be fantastic, but he has since sobered up, and isn't nearly as entertaining.
>>80380843
fuck off jimmy carr is awesome
>>80380864
If you are 12
>>80380805
Search youtube for Jim Jefferies or Jimmy Carr, you'll find a lot of great clips, they have the most accessible jokes imo.
Maybe a protip would be to start by watching Jim Jefferies' appearances on talkshows, (e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQh8gMrYlFA) that way you don't spoil any jokes and you can move on to his full routines.
Mike Birbiglia has two great shows Sleepwalk With Me Live and My Girlfriend's Boyfriend, which are basically one man shows / stand ups where he tells his life story. His former stand ups are good, but don't stand out nearly as much.
Jim Norton and Daniel Tosh are a bit more niche, you need to be a bit of a perver asshole to enjoy them.
>>80380978
haha that's a great joke I'll add you to my top tier list.
>>80380864
>>80380843
Saw Jimmy Carr live, one of the most fun nights of my adult life. He's extremely good with his audience, better than any comedian out there i m o.
>>80380858
true, his last routine is not as good, but he still has around 4 great performances out there
>>80381009
He's pretty good at on the fly banter.i enjoyed his Netflix special
Jim nortons stand up sucks dude. He's funny on the radio but i've never laughed at his specials
>>80381038
I thought his latest was kind of weak desu.
>>80381038
He can do it extremely well on the spot. I'm sure most of the jokes he uses he'd prepared in advance, but still, he really kills it with his audience interaction.
Gaffigan is pretty damn funny too.
>>80380770
T b h his political stuff sucked in this special. He'd never been good at it but he did one good routine about gun control which suddenly made liberals think he's their guy so he tried to pander to them.
>>80380858
>>80380843
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YM6_5EcJ790
come on lads, this is pretty good
>>80381136
He's a happily married catholic with 5 kids, I can't take anyone like that seriously as a comedian. Stand up comedians are supposed to be fucked up more than me, that's the whole appeal.
>>80380418
what a god awful list
>>80380418
Why was George Carlin ever considered a comedian? He was just a grumpy old guy with a microphone.
>>80381778
let's see yours
>not ranking Chappelle
Is Jim Jefferies really the best comedian straya can come up with?
>no Norm MacDonald
>no Eddie Murphy
>no Mitch Hedberg
>no George Carlin
>Daniel fucking Tosh
come on now, guy
>>80381227
he's a degenerate lib loser pal.
>>80382003
so? doesn't mean he's not funny
>>80381970
George Carlin is shit tier, see >>80381797
>>80380418
>carr
>jefferies
>no Stewart Lee
have a word
>>80382186
but he isn't funny and gets way more applause/cheers than laughs from his own adoring audience... he's just an ideologue pushing an agenda
Remember when Frankie Boyle was funny as fuck on Mock the Week and outed himself as a 15 year old /b/tard as a stand-up?
>>80382268
Have you watched his other stand ups than Freedumb? Other than bashing Christians (which is a bit weak but meh) he didn't use to do anything liberal.
R8 plz
>Eddie Izzard
>Tim Minchin
>Bill Bailey
>>80382415
>Tim Minchin
he brings a guitar on stage, enough said
>>80382415
I'm really sorry but that's pretty reddit-tier
any stand-up set with songs in it is automatically pretty awful
>>80382338
Frankie Boyle seems funny on shows and stuff but I legitimately don't understand his full stand ups
Todd Barry 10/10
>>80382487
I suppose I'm not comedically developed enough to enjoy anything but lolrandumb stuff like Bailey and Izzard, and I like music.
Am I a cancer?

>>80382654

you can only laugh at what makes you laugh
>>80381954
yes and according to this cock gargling faggot op also the best in the world
>>80382704

Missing out on some of the best stand up out there. Burrs earlier stuff was some of the greatest modern comedy as well
>>80382670
He's trying to get a rise out of you
>>80380418
I used to worship Jim Jefferies, then he moved to California and became a massive SJW. Sad!
>>80382930
oh god no
I'm talking about the sort of thing that stewart lee occasionally arrives at after a twenty minute idea
the kind of jokes that are stretched so far and made so surreal that you can only really make them with friends over a few drinks
>>80383018
He always said things some people would consider SJW. Especially about gun control and American patriotism, two very triggering subjects for people who can't bare other people having a different opinion.
>no tom segura
Sorry OP but you failed
>>80383018
>that pic
Todd Barry's Crowd Work special is probably the best stand up comedy show I've ever seen. Not because it is the funniest but I just can't even imagine the sheer difficulty of pulling something like that off every night.
>>80383071
How do you feel about the naked gun / airplane movies?
>>80382854
Plenty of comedians mock muh Christianity, it's unimaginative and boring. Maybe it was funny in the 80s or something, now it's just beating a dead horse.
>>80383018
He's literally right about gun control and I'm considered a righty in Europe. Sorry Americans, your culture is retarded.
>>80383195
I like shitty gags like that but they're pretty dated now
saying that I prefer that to most modern comedy
Patrice O'Neal's brief life and career was enough to justify the entirety of slavery because without it he probably wouldn't have been born.

You want me to present an argument against a complete non sequitur?
>>80381970
Hello readdit
Jim gaffigan is the absolute worst male comedian I've ever seen.
What I always wonder is, why are there no funny right-wing comedians?
>>80384731
comedians are mostly smart
there are very few truly right wing smart people
beware that in the past few decades the political spectrum has shifted to the left
Hate him over memes all you want but Louis CK is easily the best stand up comedian of this generation. I don't care for his show and most of his politics but his writing, timing and delivery are all easily among the best which is rare to see outside of like carlin or rock.

>>80380418
I haven't heard really good standup in years. I used to enjoy Louis CK but then he started being tolerant instead of pissed off at deer, his wife, and his fucking kids.
steven wright hasn't done anything in decades
mike birbiglia and bill burr were alright, but suffered from the exact same problem. both knew the dangers of women and marriage, and both thought they knew better and got fucking married.
Can someone explain why if somebody is trying to be helpful, and suggests something you might like with "oh I love him, he's great", you feel prejudiced against it immediately?
>>80380418

99% of comedy is bad, that's a given. you enjoy it for the 1%
and it's the purest form of comedy, it's a guy just making you laugh with words he says. there's no animation to go with it, or music, or elaborate stages like a performance.

That's just wrong. George Carlin was a man's man kind of guy. He could be your angry Grandpa one second and your dirty joke uncle the next. Takes skill to perfect the art of the joke and what it means to be a man telling one.

CK is a lot better than channers give him credit for due to their reactionary bias

>>80394151
I'm wondering the same thing anon. His audience numbers are pretty good so I have to give him credit there, and maybe he's just a good show to go see live.
Watching his standup as a whole though feels like somebody is just walking on stage with a joke book. 101 Gut Busters or some shit that you'd find while taking a dump in your grandfather's bathroom.

Oswalt up until roughly a decade ago is fantastic standup. Everything since then has been diminishing returns. His Grammy win aside, his most recent standup special had long stretches almost completely devoid of laughs. I shudder to think what his next album will bring given that his world has essentially collapsed in on itself in the past year (aside from, you know, being a multi-millionaire who gets paid to be funny).
