Seen his name a time or two but never heard 1 thing about him. Couldn't ID him in a line up.

The one comedian who I think is terrible at standup but is hyped up as being great is Chris Rock.
His stuff on HBO in the 90s still holds up. More recent stuff sucks and his horse laugh he does under his breath after he tells a joke is so god damned unbearable

Loved the show……. But Jerry Seinfeld isn’t funny

Check out some classic Dave Chappelle or Eddie Murphy.
Tom Segura is one of the modern guys who consistently makes me laugh. Especially with everyone bringing up Bert, it’s kind of funny how good Segura is on stage and how bad Bert is despite them both being good friends and hosting a podcast together

I love Chappelle overall, especially his show. But I'm not sure "standup comedy" accurately describes the past 8 or so years of his career. It's more just like spoken word that has some humor. I still like to listen to it, but I do not have the expectation that I'll be doubled up the whole time.
And Kevin Hart. I'm not sure many people think he's funny, but he just is not. Even his baseline affectation of bombastic black guy is stunningly unfunny.

Chappelle's Show, with the characters & sketches was funny. His stand up is not as funny, but very humorously interesting, as he has a high IQ, is a great story teller & DGAF.

Matt Rife. He's lucky the lonely loser women of the world love him because he's not a great stand up comedian.
Yea his material is average. It’s his crowd work that is decent

Eddie Murphy was hilarious though. His standups are ridiculously funny, and they didn't feel like being funny just because he cursed.
Him talking about Bill Cosby and Pryors reactions to his stand up are complete gold.

I just don’t get this guy. Is it me? I have never heard one funny thing from him. Not one.
The good news is he does the laughing for you, no matter how funny the joke is.

I'd imagine their job is nearly impossible to succeed in with people's emotional trigger so fragile. Don't take much to get cancelled
Maybe back in 2015 but the whole cancel culture charade has elevated far more comedians than ended careers in what I would call the Pod cast era
Shane Gillis admits or atleast has talked about the whole SNL cancellation was a huge boast to his career and likely the best thing that happened to him.
There’s a way bigger and more profitable audience out there that wants to defend against any and all “cancellations” than the fleeting Twitter controversy that used to send companies shaking in their boots, but now they actively participate in edgy humor to appeal to their social media audience
The only guys who really I’d consider “cancelled” or had their careers seriously damaged by online backlash, are guys like Delia and Callen, which weren’t cancelled for anything they said but actual allegations of misconduct. And they’ve both worked their way back to atleast some level of success (I believe Delia is selling out theaters again). Brennan Schaub has also been “cancelled” is some way, but only for just being extremely unfunny
I think this reached a bit of an apex with that Whitney Cummings special where she didn’t even make a joke she just spent the first 20 minutes of her special talking about how comedians are the light bringers and modern philosophers. It’s just as eye rolling and self indulgent than the over the top reaction/self righteousness that started that whole cancel culture movement in the first place
At a more elite level, guys like Gervais and Chappelle have never been more popular by riding the same anti cancel culture wave. I think everyone needs to let go of this bogey man

Somewhere on YT there is a classic clip of Janeane Garofalo onstage in a comedy club, delivering a lecture on Derrida or some French philosopher. I think Norm MacDonald devoted a bit to it.

He's the biggest, best-selling comedian in the world. Blew my mind when I found this out. Never bothered to endure an entire set of his.
