Totally underrated performance.

Bill Burr, Bill Maher, Chris Rock, Maria Bamford.

I haven’t really been into comedians for quite some time though. I used to watch them on Comedy Central in my 20s and I had a year or so back in the 2010’s where I watched lots of standup on Netflix.

Lately I’ve been kind of anti-certain comedians that punch down, like Ricky Gervais and Dave Chapelle. These are folks I used to like but no longer do. Same thing with Louis CK. Using the three letter F word is never necessary in a joke, it’s like using the N word.

Well as a young teen boy my favorites were Adam Sandler and Chris Farley.

Now at 39…

I like (says with a straight face) good wholesome jokesters that are the pinnacle of home entertainment on the color TV.

Shoot, not too many make me laugh nowadays… I like Greg Proops always a big source of sarcasm and irony, and Pablo DiFrancisco, although the last couple thins I’ve seen from him were kinda off… Otherwise I haven’t seen much that makes me laugh but I’m always open to new stuff…

George Carlin was a real legend, I was upset when he died.

I should also mention Trevor Moore here, he was the lead of a troupe of comedians known as the WKUK (whitest kids u know) from IFC. Their sketch show ran for 5 seasons and Trevor made a movie with one of the other WKUK, Zach Cregger (director of the film Barbarian) called Miss March. Unfortunately, Trevor died a couple years back from a fatal fall.

Dave Chappelle, Bill Burr, Jerry Lewis, Jim Carrey.
