Emasher Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 Well he's not really a stand up comedian, (but he has a weekly show and stands up sometimes) But Rick Mercer Is a pretty good comedian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EEVILMURRAY Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 Says it all mate. So Chris Rock was lying when he said that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wesley Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 So... are you guys arguing with each other or Chris Rock? Seriously, am I the only one who thinks John Cusack looks just like Bill Hicks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monopolyman Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 Richard Pryor has to be an all time favourite for me. I watched some of his standup just recently, Live on the Sunset Strip I think it was, and man, it was fantastic. The man had a nasty childhood. Both his parents died when he was a young age, and only had his grandmother to look after him who worked in a brothel, which he had to go to with her sometimes as well. He grew from that to become a profound, yet ultimately entertaining comic. His material involving race is spot on, and never takes it too far; the way he can jump in and out of characters is highly idolised, and he (like most other comedians, granted), never took himself too seriously, even joking about his most tragic moments in his life (for example, after his incident of setting himself on fire, he got on stage, lit a match and said something along the lines of "What is that? It's Richard Pryor walking down the street!"). A lot of his movies were good too, but nothing will ever top his stand up. He will sorely be missed. Chris Rock = Closest thing this generation has of a Richard Pryor. If you ever say that again, I'll track you down, gouge you're eyes out ans skullfuck you.

Falcon_BlizZACK Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 You know what, I love that deceased Black American comedian, forgot his name, he starred in "See no Evil, Hear no Evil" and died this year. Sure, he overused the N-word but keeping in the mind the days of which he came from, I'm sure his stand-ups were universally funny! Whats his name? Dave Chappelle?

Monopolyman Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 Yeah, I know you wern't saying that Rock was anywhere near as good as Pryor, but I just don't think Chris Rock is that good a comedian. I have laughed a couple of times at his jokes, but ultimately he doesn't really do anything for me. Personally, I think Dave Chappelle would be a better comparison. But, yeah, I know what you mean.

Falcon_BlizZACK Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 The Chapelle show = funny as fuck at times e.g his rick james act. But as a stand up comedian, im not entirely convinced by him. Anyone know who Im talking about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LazyBoy Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 I am disapointed in you guys. I see not one mention of the greatest stand up ever, Eddie Murphey's Raw. Don't get me wrong Bill Bailey, Jack Dee, Bill Hicks (not as good as claimed, but still great), Stephen Wright and many others, but Eddie Murphey takes the cake. Watch this from Raw: A short clip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platty Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 My favourite comedian is Lee Evans. Seen him 4 times now and would go again anytime! I just have to look at him and he has me in stiches. Other than that I like comedy in general and often go to small comedy gigs with unknown comedians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest dynastygal Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Um, Ricky Gervais, and Peter Kay are the ones I've only really seen, so I'll say them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welsh_gamer Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 Havent watched that many stand up show's, but an ex-girlfriend made me watch Lee Evans with her, and I found myself forcing myself to laugh just to please her. Peter Kay and Ricky Gervais are ok, but seem to have both very good and very bad joke's in their set's. Dunno if Ken Dodd is classified as stand-up, but I saw him live over the summer and he was bloody good. Seeing Marcus Brigstocke live tonight, and I have high hope's for his gig as most of his previous work is pretty darn good. Woo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
