The problem with British comedy is that it's either totally pretentious homosexuals who spend a month "crafting" their twee shows featuring their middle class problems at Edinburgh Fringe or it's literal pee pee poo poo humor and nothing in-between.
That show that ran for four seasons back in the early 1970s and never had a gag which ran for more than one episode? Is that your idea of British humor in 2022?
>Is that your idea of British humor in 2022?
Are you pretending to be a moron? Monty Python didn't just frick off and fade into obscurity after the show. They've influenced numerous comedians, writers, and filmmakers (for the worse)
Yes, I have trouble parsing the admittedly funny standup with the self satisfied smug prick aura he presents in his globalist approved writings. Typical jock, votes for independence but preaches marxism. All round c**t.
>Typical jock
I will actually throttle you you stupid little English (or Welsh) c**t.

Scotland's mostly farmers stuck in an endless limbo of green fields, barbed wire fences, sheep and horses. That's literally the entire country outside of Glasgow which is friendliness and stabbiness in the most depressing cityscape one can imagine and Edinburgh which is just England with castles.
Perhaps if some things are too difficult to understand you should just keep on voting in these self-promoting Bullingdon elites who sBlack person in your face as they line their pockets, burning £37bn on failed Covid responses via their mates/donors, partying as your loved ones die, bailing out the banks every time and tell you that it's you who has maxed out the UK's credit card. Pay your electricity bill and stop complaining homosexual.
how can you be autistic and this open about your weakness? (reacting openly/emotively to stimuli is something you should work on)

it's called stoicism
it's not even about 'turning off your feelings' like a robot it's about responding to them in a healthy way. if you are literally laughing out loud at comedy on your own then you are mentally ill or something. you wouldn't do that on a desert island.

If you were laughing out loud at comedy on a desert island you're literally hallucinating. Laughing out loud at a comedy show is not only a natural reaction, it's a polite reaction. If you don't find it funny you're free to laugh but if you find something funny and just sit there emotionless you might actually be autistic. Not in the meme sense.

it's a social signal to others. you should not be doing it on your own any more than you would 'have a conversation' on your own (which is fine if you are literally hallucinating, then you have a reasonable excuse)

Laughter is a human reaction to finding something funny. More than that it's an exclusively human reaction. If you don't understand that then...friends with the queen yeay?

it's a social reaction though, to signal something to others.
happy to admit i might be autistic not in the meme sense, but if you are actually laughing out loud sat watching comedy in your bedroom then please consider that you are mentally defective. there are people who cry alone, or have conversations alone. if it's real then you need to get help.

If you laugh at something it's a perfectly normal reaction whether you're alone or not. That's just a fact. I've no idea what kind of psyop you're trying to pull here but it's a novel one I'll admit.

One of the most autismo takes I've seen in years.
Do you just watch comedy tv shows, movies, stand-ups etc completely stone-faced?
Do you truly believe something funny can't be crafted?

I can believe someone is capable of being funny but also that they are gigantic homosexual
I bet he thinks Nick Mullen is a KKKlansmen because feminists on Twitter told him so. He's the very definition of a backtracking pussy. He thinks that if he sees le Nazis under every rock, then the woke cops won't come for him.
He's always had the Glasgow uni accent and his patter's always just been edge for edges sake. It's just funny that the time that became a problem coincided with him slagging off the mutts.
The idea is conceptual, not at the granular level. Also for every soldier who just wants to get home you've got your My Lai c**ts who get zero repurcussions because the American public as a whole protested their incarceration.
>Told Carlin is a master >Watch a couple of his specials and don't laugh >Told Pryor is a master >Low IQ "Muh dick" shite >Told Lenny Bruce is the king >He doesn't tell a joke >Told Bill Hicks is hilarious >He's obnoxious as frick
Are there any good stand-ups or is the whole thing garbage?
Agree. The only good stand ups are the ones that do one liners, like Dangerfield. The issue is stand-up tends to attract losers too stupid to succeed at anything else, and all they can do is talk about their shitty lives or basic b***h observations. It gets obnoxious when people like Burr and Chappelle (who have lived better lives than me since their births) reach a certain point and we're expected to treat them like blue collar working men.
If euros put as much effort into creating something as they did seething about anglos maybe talking about some euro kino on Cinemaphile wouldn't be a once a year affair.
This guys mogs anyone on the other side of the Atlantic who isn't Dave Chappelle, Chris Rock or Sarah. And these last three have already dumbed down content.
First time I watched Stewart Lee live it was at the Edinburgh Fringe and Mick Foley was like three seats away laughing his arse off. No real point to bringing that up but it was a memory.
I fricking love it when comedians go after each other. Not in the playful, go on each other’s podcast way but when they really have a fricking problem with each other. It’s my crack. They need to do it more. Rogan going after Mencia made his career.
Don't get big working at your craft, you get big here by getting spots on BBC panel shows, which measn you can only really tell the jokes the BBC are willing to pay you to tell. In short, death to the panel show.
tim key doesn't look like he'd be funny and has been typecast into being a panel show soi wizard whenever he's on TV, but his standup act is genuinely brilliant and i fricking hate 99% of bri'ish standups.
It isn't, but don't tell them that or they will get royally pissed off at you.
Nah I'm British and I agree, our standups at least are pretty god awful.
A lot of British comedy seems so bitter. Why? There are some bitter, misanthropes in America too like Doug Stanhope. But not as much
The problem with British comedy is that it's either totally pretentious homosexuals who spend a month "crafting" their twee shows featuring their middle class problems at Edinburgh Fringe or it's literal pee pee poo poo humor and nothing in-between.
the mainstream of it seems to be dadlad humour like 4 out of ten cats panellists.
If I want that I'll meet up with my friends
What about the wacky Monty Python crap?

Watch Peter Kay he celebrates being a Brit
British com-egg-dy, like an egg Histor.
BIRD EGG WING!
Most comedy isn't funny but between this and MCU quipping I'd pick this every day
This. Comedy is kinda reddit, but at least bong comedy can be clever
All standup sucks though
UK stand-up comedy was great before it became a hobby only the middle-class could afford.
Frankie Boyle is still a 10/10 comedian though.
>le make fun of disabled kids and then act morally superior to chuds man
By his own standards, Frankie should have been cancelled years ago.
>Frankie Boyle is still a 10/10 comedian though.
the frick was going on with his meltdown on Twitter a few days ago?
(i do not have a Twitter but i like internet drama)
Boyle is a hypocrite who regularly writes for the Gu*rdian but is free to make jokes about genetic conditions in children
so this is also a response to
i think his current stance is that he's not that edgy, the Mock the Week producers/writers just told him to do more edgy jokes
>comedians can’t have comedy material that’s divergent from their personal beliefs

Why is it always the edgy comedians? It wouldn't be an issue if it was someone like Seinfeld acted like this.

It's OK. Americans don't know what a clutch is.

I like Steven Wright. He does this deadpan oneliner humour very well. Surprisingly obscure besides a few appearances here and there.

stewart lee is actually funny
OH DID SOMEONR SAY SOMETHING ABOUT THE MINORITIES OH NO BETTER WRITE A NEW SPECIAL
Comedy has gone post-modernist. It doesn't have to be funny anymore.
Stewart Lee is both postmodernist AND funny which I can respect.
Nowadays, I can respect any comedians who are actually funny because they are a dying breed.
First time I watched Stewart Lee live it was at the Edinburgh Fringe and Mick Foley was like three seats away laughing his arse off. No real point to bringing that up but it was a memory.
I fricking love it when comedians go after each other. Not in the playful, go on each other’s podcast way but when they really have a fricking problem with each other. It’s my crack. They need to do it more. Rogan going after Mencia made his career.
Rogan going after Trudeau made my morning.
Why do Americans on Cinemaphile keep talking about Britain and 'anglos'
are they, dare I say, obsessed?
Never sold out because no-one gives a shit about him and he would actually harm sales.
Every single comedy festival he's the main attraction. Never a shit show. Not once.
this guy's a prick, Herring was the talented one out of the two.
These days, if you say British comedy isn't funny, they'll lock you up
we all know what the spirals mean

that era is close to two decades ago
