It gave me a very mild but distinct "haha, I feel nothing" when I first found out it's probably the case.
In fact this is a very boring topic, find some new drama in your gay lives.
Is "I'm into cute stuff but really I'm super edgy" like the girl equivalent of being an Andrew Tate fan?
Hating jedis is hack and gay, I hate Carthaginians now
But don't get me wrong, I'm not saying US comedians are good. They are just a different, more egregious but slightly less lame brand of bad.
Everybody is thinking of like Eddie Murphy specials or Dave Chappelle's earlier specials.l or some shit.
But then you look at what stand up ACTUALLY is nowadays, I am talking the standard for a "successful", perhaps even "high level" working comedian, these people are fucking FOOLS who would never be able to hold down a legit job and honestly are just not funny, they are promoted specifically because they are marketable milquetoast entertainment figures who can fool a "that's nice dear" chuckle out of captive audiences.
People don't realize how shitty it is.
Vomedians will literally have this discussion on their podcasts and shit about how you literally don't even have to say something actually funny, comedy audiences have become trained to respond to the lilt and cadence of "comedy".
They actually think they are saying something good, like skilful or some shit. I remember Dana Carvey and Bill Maher talking exactly about this on Bill Maher's podcast Club Random, they are hyucking it up with each other about how you don't even have to be funny to get laughs.
Isn't that a little sick? Now when I watch standup, it is plain as day to spot once you know it is happening, and it feels like looking at a room full of mentally ill people who are forced to laugh by social pressure at unfunny shit that even their brain knows is unfunny.
Thank you
I really thought I could be having a heart attack.
Nah definitely them
UK and European comedians are just lame by default, their standup is literally like listening to someone read jokes from a joke book, like they actually tell "jokes" akin to "why did the chicken cross the road" type stuff
It is actually kinda funny that the one UK guy who is supposedly known for being edgy and offensive and is supposed to be able "hang" with US comedians is Jimmy Carr
But if you listen to Jimmy Carr's standup, it's like you are still hearing "joke book" jokes except Jimmy dared to get the "Jokes For Big Boys" book
In general humans are afraid to say that something popular just sucks, they seek social validation, they will even answer that 2 inequality length lines are equal if everyone around them is giving the wrong answer. So if XYZ comedians say comedian A is good, it must be so. Who are you supposed to "check" against, other comedians?
Nah, shit just sucks. These are unfunny people given the title of "funny".
