you've never watched family guy? simpsons? frasier?

nope never

good technicality


Damn i ment stand up commedians

American comedy breaks boundaries and goes where comeyd isn' tnot suppose to..well the great one do anyways...Ricahard Prior, Lenny Bruce, Rodney Dangerfield, all crossed the line of where they weren't suppose go while pointing out the problems of society while at the same time making people laugh, and like Pr already mentioned there's the comic genius of Family Guy, Simpsons, and South Park (sorry, not a big fan of Frasier so i subsituted that one)

oh... well some are good, some are shit... but that can be said of most countries...

Yeah, Dave Chappelle and Lewis Black are just utter shit for stand up comedians.

Oh yes, but Mr. Bean is comedy at it's finest.

I don't think so. We have Dave Chappelle, Chris Rock, Andrew Dice Clay, Steve Martin, and Cedric the Entertainer just to name a few. And we have the legends like Sam Kinison, Rodney Dangerfield, and Andy Kaufman.

Now, if you want to talk about taste in comedy let's say for example some people find Jerry Seinfeld funny. Some people prefer Adam Sandler and find him funny. I personally find Jerry to be a better comedian than Sandler, but then again that's my taste others will disagree.

never mind I goofed

k

there are some really good american comics...

richard pryor, mitch hedberg, jon stewart... and so on and so forth. the shotty ones make the rest of them look bad

Pryor and Dangerfield have always been my favorites.

Chris Tucker and Jack Black are pretty funny.uhoh3

pryor, chris rock, excellent...

but eddie murphy's delirious and raw... amazing... so f*cking funny...

still no match for billy conely or anyone in monty python

true...

though eddie murphy at his best can compete with the best of em imo...

he and connolly are too different in style to be compared imo...

i like eddie murphy

as do i

he can be quite serious too hes not just a comic

Originally posted by Grand Moff Gav

of course... i wish he'd go back to stand up though... though he'd offend alot of people nowadays... he's not exactly PC is he...

good i hate PC

I think thats taking it too far, british comedy and north american comedy are different.

Saturday night live and SCTV (when it was on) are awsome....

chris farley, bill murry, chevy chase, mike myers, adam sandler, ugene levy, martian short, jim carrey, chris rock, dave chappel, john candy....should I go on....

to say that north american comedy is bad is just false...

there are many who strongly disagree including myself.


i'll agree with the poster of this thread that seinfeld sucks.
the whole "what is up with THAT?" shtick gets old really fast.
also, for the life of me, i cant understand how anyone can find jeff foxworthy
to be funny, unless they are heavily medicated. "if you can laugh at the same old tired joke for 10 years running, you might be a redneck"

PLease don't use Andrew Dice Clay, Cedric the Entertainer or Andy Kaufman as examples of comic genius.

Now Lewis Black, that man is fricken gold! George Carlin used to be gold, but he's lost it as of late.

Err....Robin Williams, Chris Rock, Eddie Murphy, Dave Chappelle......they are great
Other shows like Mad TV or Saturday Night Live....
Sitcoms are decent too to some extend and some
Cartoons are the best Family Guy, South Park, Simpsons, Futurama, American Dad.....
American Comedy is great. Maybe not the best but great anyways.

I think that a lot of American comedy is alright, I think the British comedy is better though... speaking as a Brit

it is better

Yeah right, American Comedy is awesome.

George Carlin, Richard Pryor, Diceman, Chris Rock, Dana Carvey, Dave Chapelle.

I Really Like Lewis Black, Have your heard his Starbucks one Bardock?
And Bill Hicks! That man was great....

Gogo Randy & Jason Sklar! Gogo Demetri Martin! Gogo Mitch Hedberg!

I do enjoy my stand up.
