Bill Hicks never really appealed to me. I'll probably get some hate because he's a legend but he's just not for me.


I used to really hate Bill Hicks, but since I’ve gotten cynical to society, I realized he’s largely right. I disagree with him on many fronts, but he was a fantastic philosopher.

Louis CK


Anyone who says Louis CK is either a radical feminist that wouldn’t know funny if it farted in their face or is stupid.

Chris Rock used to be great at racial humor. His most recent netflix shows aren't very good though.

Racial comedy gets ham-fisted way too easily. Nuance is the number one key to good racial comedy.

I'm sure I'll catch hell for this but I understand that Denis Leary stole Hicks' routine but I think he did a better version of Hicks. It's more balanced and not just raw rage. Balance is the key to all good comedy. You can rage, but you have to turn it back on yourself and laugh to even it out. Bill Burr is the master of it.

Racial humor is just overdone at this point. It’s not edgy but lazy. Not every nonwhite comedian needs to do racial stuff.

It's certainly overdone in a lazy/PC way. The social climate has pretty much killed it to the point where you can only make fun of white people. The nuance isn't allowed so it just ruins everything.

Ron White isn't funny at all...tf. His jokes are old and he just retells then fifty times. Dude is the least funny of the four..and the other three aren't funny either

She visited us when I was in Afghanistan. She was surprisingly attractive in person. I had breakfast with her.
