Funny Stuff Stand Up Comedy - Page 10

58-4ever · 12-11-2013, 08:07 PM

So, I've done a lot of thinking about this "art form"... I have a lot of favorites. Growing up, my dad had a traveling job. I would steal his cassette tapes of various comedians and I instantly fell in love with that whole era of comedy. I grew up listening to Carlin, Cosby, and Pryor. Over the years, my taste for comedy has evolved quite a bit. If I had to list a top 5 (current guys/girls) it would include, no certain order:

1) Chappelle
2) Louis CK
3) Kevin Hart
4) Joe Rogan
5) Joey Diaz

I know this has been discussed before, so the repost police can suck a dick.

Yeah Im sure consistency is an issue but hell, even if I only mustered up 40k one year I'd be fine with that. His travel and hotel expenses are always paid for right?

I "think" on tour its a deal where he's paid X amount per show or series of shows and everything (expenses) comes out of that. Except for the cruise thing. I think everything is included there. Minus his fee for his manager etc.

I used to do comedy with James back when he was still an amateur mostly in the mid 90s. He hadn't discovered the blue-collar niche yet – but he was still pretty good. I saw him a few years ago and we caught up – super nice guy.

I'm not sure if you have the capacity to stand, but you deliver comedy gold in every post. We used to take a reerun to Bo's nightclub to sing for the gong show. We won every time till they told us we couldn't bring him back. Are you Randy? Just checking.

So this guy, like Larry The Cable Guy, also has a fake southern accent?

Dayze · 09-11-2014, 09:59 AM

Ehhhh. Not really. He has more of an "aw shucks" small town boy thing. He grew up in Lenexa and Paola (to some extent).

I've been on a massive binge on Youtube watching tons of comedy shows over the last two weeks.

I have tons of favorites but two comedians that are great at stand up that many people don't mention or know very well are Demetri Martin and Daniel Tosh.

-Demetri Martin is very "Steven Wright" like and has amazing jokes and timing.

-Daniel Tosh is a comedian who tells very offensive jokes that turn funny in his delivery and willingness to go after very difficult subjects

These two shows will have you laughing out loud many times! STRONG LANGUAGE MAKING IT NSFW

Still funny as ****. And the thing with Patrice that so few standups have is, no matter what, his shit has a point and make sense. He didn't shoehorn his opinions to fit a bit. He expressed his opinion, and how he did it reliably happened to be very funny. Still one of the most authentic comics of the era.

You can go back and research, when he was at his best was when he was live, say on a radio show or a roundtable. And he could not only tell someone they were full of shit, he'd lay out in excruciating detail WHY they were full of shit. And he'd do it to people's faces. But he'd do it with an attitude that wasn't so much confrontational [or certainly not strident or angry] as it was 'reasonably bemused.' And eventually, the object of his analysis would chuckle, shake their head, and admit 'yeah, I was a little full of shit, there.'

Given what has happened, an incredibly funny, sad, poignant and concise line

Spoiler!

He is missed.

There is a Patrice documentary streaming now.

Killing is Easy.
