sadly his IQ was too low to stop the chudaganda from destroying his mind.

>>211935669 (OP)
Standup is mostly retarded. The internet means the most funny thing anyone has ever said in their lives is visible to the world, whereas comedians are aging, slow, out of touch, low IQ, often fat, and usually addicted to drugs or alcohol which makes them even slower and dumber. Comedians are generally worthless degenerates who have little understanding of the world, and only talk to their sycophant friends, which means they can't filter their worst jokes out anymore. Since they live in an increasingly insular world centered around themselves, their only source of material is responding to the criticism of themselves, so their act inevitably degenerates into them complaining that people don't like them enough, which is generally just sort of pathetic and embarrassing.

>>211935820
Yeah, for all his "nihilistic anti-establishment" larp he would've masked, quintuple-vaxxed, and worshipped at the alter of Faucci.

the reason being edgy is called being edgy is because there is danger in it, the danger of being booed and canceled. The chuds were so weak they couldn't handle it. They demanded the edge without the risk, and cried about it.

the best Rogan stand up was the one from like 2006 where he yells out the Nword. It was so funny man. Truly hilarious.

You're not allowed to be funny anymore. You're not allowed to crack jokes or make light of things because that's a challenge to the regime and they will not be insulted. The second that you get people to laugh at your supposed auhority, you're finished. You are allowed only to now clap at pre-approved kosher messages that go through a committee and pass through the mouth of a jackass and when all else doesn't work, you just hump chairs.
Women aren't funny either, I don't care what the fuck you say. I can admit women can be silly, but they don't tell jokes on stage, they pee them out. A lot of it is just sexual garbage that I'd rather not hear even in normal coversation.

Bro, The Banana Room rough is TOUGH!! That's a brutal crowd, if they don't like you, they're going to let you know it! When I auditioned for the owner, Mitzi Shekleberg, I did my edgiest bit. You know the one about how Black people are cool and white people are dorks? It was inspired by George Carlin. I thought I bombed but then Mitzi looked at me afterwards and with a smirk said, "You got the job, goy!" But you know, that's the craft of stand-up comedy, she could see that I had potential. Most civilians will never understand how we have to push the boundaries and hold a mirror up to society. It takes decades to really find your comedic voice.

>>211943611
>SCAN HIS FACE!!!!!!!

>>211939629
It's funny because if he actually followed his own theory he wouldn't be punching down on white middle class people from his multi-million dollar mansion.
But Carlin was always an incredibly two-faced jagoff who tailored his message to whatever was convenient for his career.

I guess he's punching down on them form heaven

People became siloed in their media bubbles and stop experiencing a shared reality, especially one in the real world. Comedy stopped being things happening out there in the physical world and started being conflict in systems of symbols and beliefs. The joke is funny because the person doesn't realize how stupid they are for thinking and behaving differently than me, rather than because the person has had similar experiences as me and now realizes how funny those experiences were.

>>211944272
has comedy really suffered from monoculture and common touch stones disappearing though?

>>211944326
I don't know if it's so much about monoculture disappearing as it is everyone turning inward and refusing to engage with reality. So much comedy these days is just self referential tautologies. It's weirdly puritanical.

>>211936149

So we're just going to pretend that comedy isn't the best it's been in 20 years? Suddenly all the great comedy specials and podcast content we've gotten in the past 5 years are just dismissible just because?

Was stand up ever good?

cancel culture killed most normal comedy
now it's either grifters becoming right wing with edgy comedy yelling about niggers, trannies, or whatever modern thing they don't like, or lefty snowflakes either doing the most tame shit imaginable or political rants that barely count as comedy

I'm convinced norm was the last great comedian. He pulled off a certain level of subversion that was just masterful.

We're just waiting on a Lenny Bruce to go on stage and starting saying nigger, faggot, kike, cunt, etc. until the crowd walks.

Thanks for proving my point. You cry about grifters and then you post grift videos featuring people no one is even familiar with. Not a single popular comedian is featured in these videos. The most notable person is Rob Schneider who's not even popular in the realm of stand-up comedy since no one watches his shit. Not a single mainstream comedian is discussed in these videos. Not one.

>>211949269
>It's about familiarity, chud!
Nice goal post moving

>>211949579
Apparently you're actually retarded. How can you sit there and and cry about comedy becoming a "right wing grift with all these people doing edgy comedy yelling about niggers, trannies, or whatever modern thing they don't like" and not post a single notable example of this? Yes "familiarity" is important, dumbass because the mainstream and what's popular dictates what the current identity of the medium itself is. If it's these niche nobodies who are doing what you're claiming, then it's not real or leaving any real impact on comedy. If it was Shane Gillis, Mark Normand, and Nate Bargatze doing the shit you claim, then you'd have a point.

Comedy over seas is absolute dogshit and you're a contrarian to argue otherwise

>>211950312
I'll give you Stavvy but the other 3 have put out legitimately great comedy specials whether you want to admit it or not. Ari in particular put out one of the funniest comedy specials of the past decade and even his newest Netflix one is also very good. The guy knows comedy.

>>211950319

What does politics have to do with anything when every known comedian that is conservative doesn't talk much about politics in their act with the exception of maybe Tim Dillon.

>>211951176
The monologue poetry stuff he did can get annoying on rewatch. It's more impressive and annoying than funny. His views about the world I don't mind, personally the only stuff I find distasteful is like this anon said >>211951100. Just constantly putting down white people and saying black people are better when you are white is just embarrassing no matter how edgy it was back then.

Not a valid reason to launch an organized spam campaign here pretending his entire act was "white people bad" when it wasn't.

>>211951665
Not my problem, first time I've ever spoken about Carlin. This is a comedy thread and is entirely valid to speak about probably the most respected comedian of all time. Looks like those threads don't do well anyway

Joe List is funnier than prime Carlin

I was watching an old JRE Protect our Parks episode a few days ago and in the middle of it, both Joe and Shane casually admitted to having mouth herpes.

>>211951176
carlin is a great example of seeing someone be blackpilled in real time combined with drug/alcohol abuse
imagine being some lefty like him in the 70s only to have to live through the reagan/bush sr. years, the clinton years (the diet reagan years), then see dubya elected.
he turned into a bitter jaded old fuck using drugs and booze to cope with how the world seemed so conservative. he just happened to be lucky his bitter liberal attitude was very in vogue post 2004 with how dubya turned into satan himself for 80% of the country so critics tend to gloss over it unlike say bob dylan's christfag trilogy/almost anything he shat out in the 80s
>>211951522
>He was a famous public figure.
no one under the age of 30 has any idea who carlin is to be brutally frank outside of niche standup focused circles. I have seen almost zero public discussion about him since like 2017 - excluding one nyt meme article about cancel culture and what he'd do. yet there is almost a thread a week about him if not more.
he basically became the avatar of the liberals relentlessly shitting on conservative stuff comedy that was all the rage from like 2004 to 2014 so you get autists raging about that ever since

>>211951665
>Not a valid reason to launch an organized spam campaign here pretending his entire act was "white people bad" when it wasn't.
>he was only a bit poisonous
what the fuck? you're weirder for being so invested in the spammer imo.
if you've heard some of the conversations carlin had in interviews (where he gets to choose the topics of discussion) its so full of vitriol and rage at whites that you could easily take it as a personal attack, that he would do everything in his power to kill you just because you were white. he was legitimately insane.

ZLs jumped straight into the vidya to yt pipeline and wasted all that time instead of learning something, like history. hell they dont even know who comedians from 10 years ago were. when i was younger, in the 90s and 00s, i knew about shit going back to the 50s and 60s.
