I'd kind of agree, but he's just the go to meme to make a point about stand-up comedians.

His DMV bit is still funny.

While I don't think anyone else knows about it, "My Best Friend's Girl" is one of my favorite Rom-Com's. Cook, IMO, is hilarious in that one.

Of course, Dane Cook was famous once, so there's that

i was going to bring him up in your "conspiracy" post but wanted to keep it on point saying my sample was a specific set of comics

but yeah dane cook is one of many examples (now it's aziz most notably) of comics who sell out to the masses.

female comics who get really successful do the "female issues" sets and it is what the public wants and that's why they get famous. those who really develop it and are somewhat pretty can get tv shows and movies (like shumer, whitney, and i presume soon to be iliza)

She's not Iliza Schlinger fun. But a tier below.


I watched my first Iliza Schlinger standup this past weekend and I like some of her jokes, but her "voices" are so annoying that I wanted to turn it off a couple times. Only reason I didn't is because she's hot.

Yeah, and Vicious Circle is still a damn good hour and a half of comedy.

I love Amy's TV show. Smart stuff.

Someone mentioned Kurt Metzger, who is one of her writers. I was not familiar with him until I heard him on a recent WTF podcast with Marc Maron. That dude is funny as hell. Comes from a Jehovah Witness background, which was interesting to hear about.

She's really funny. Saw her live here in St Louis once and it was pretty awesome. And she is pretty hot.

Anjelah Johnson is so underrated in the funny female discussion.

Anytime this discussion comes up, I remind people that Ellen Degeneres still exists. She is not only hilarious, but a pioneer and a legend.

She is what Rosie and Whoopi could have been, had they not become angry countsacks.
