Mitch Benn, a former BBC employee and TDS and CDS (Corbyn Derangement Syndrome) haver. I think one of his songs was mentioned here, it was about how he felt bad for making geek girls uncomfortable or something, but he essentially ranted about how Corbyn was bad for not opposing Brexit and is something of a tranny chaser and twitter addict. He made videos defending Doctor Who because "it was anti-gamergate" and then said "The Sandman was always woke", which sort of backfired

Comedy is ultimately subjective, so whatever. If you find his brand of comedy funny, I guess it'd be mean to judge you for it.
Chapelle got big because "killin' them softly" was legit funny and that let to chappelle show. but i remember people complaining that Dave would get up on stage and be too high to do shit in 2004,2005. I cant remember if it was chappelle or mitch hedberg that did a show laying on the ground rambling. chappelle was definitely a specials only comedian, comparef to patrice whos live shit was good.

on a side note, Comedy clubs are rip offs with the overprice drinks and shitty bar food. paying for the privilege to get fleeced by the 2 drink mininums and be a canned laughter machine. I've been to some that'll kick you out for booing or heckling a shitty comic.
 
I never got the liberal love for Bill Hicks. He was a racist, sexist white man, but he did drugs or something so they think he was insightful. Leary said "racism bad" & Hicks turned on him. Hicks would be MAGA 8f he were alive, no doubt.
Racist? No. Overrated? Yes. And very, very smug. And the reason Hicks hated Leary was because Leary plagiarized him.

How do you criticise Bill Hicks and not mention the fact he was an open pedophile who regularly bragged about dating minors and even worked entire (extremely uncomfortable) bits into his act about how good it was having relations with 15-year-old girls.
 
Honestly any comedian that even remotely implies that they, and comedy in general, are defenders of freeze peach and the real truth sayers is a lolwcow.
The amount of mental gymnastics you need to do to come to the conclusion that being 10 rungs below Court Jester is actually super important and you can effect change and open eyes by humping stools and getting on a soapbox and talking about how hard you've got it as a millionaire comedian is just something else.

Hell even the most used example of a comedian "fighting the power" is just Carlin being a coked up hippy intentionally breaking obscenity laws and telling you "the government sucks man, abortion is cool, God's a faggot, and fuck conservatives."

Wow, really Raging Against The Machine™️ there.

If you’re disrupting a performance you should be kicked out.

Hecklers should be raped to death by pit bulls. That’s nothing but basketball enjoyer behaviour.
That's just faggot talk. Might as well tell people not to leave mean comments on a youtube video. And if you can't handle being heckled, you shouldn't be a performer. Period.

Bill Hicks was a 90's liberal: nothing more. Yes, he was a "le heckin edgy boi" back in an era when being edgy meant bashing the religious right and muh fundies. Hicks' entire shtick was bashing religion and American culture. He was essentially a Redditor before Reddit. I know so many people IRL who took this guy's routines as gospel and always quoted his takes on Christianity to makes themselves sound smart.

Personal anecdote here: when I was old enough to drink in the 2000's, I went to some pretentious nightclub that had TVs near the seats. The main bartender was some hipster douche who would play Michael Moore movies and Bill Hicks routines on the TV screens. One time at the bar I ended up watching an entire Bill Hicks biographical documentary in its entirety. It was some comedy special narrated by likewise edgy 90's liberal comedians like Janine Garafalo, where they talked about his career and tragic death by highlighting his clips and giving commentary on his comedy style. The main focus of the theme of the video was how Bill Hicks had a hateboner for Christianity and American culture -- which back then, made him a vanguard for free speech and anti-establishmentism. This caused him to get heckled and booed off stage in American comedy shows, thus he would move to Europe where he found a new audience and became a superstar by using the same shtick that drew the ire of American audiences. The video essentially said, "In America, Bill Hicks was an outcast for his outspoken criticism of religion and dumb Americans -- but in Europe, people were smarter and enlightened enough to understand him better."

Then during the credits of the biography, the video played Rage Against the fucking Machine as a means to frame Bill as being a true counterculture rebel who raged against the machine by making fun of Jesus whilst taking drags of cigarettes.

I've only ever seen a handful of his routines, thought they were mundane and pseudo-intellectual at best, and definitely raised an eyebrow on his remarks about sex with underage girls. One of his comedy bits in the 80's openly advocates for murdering teen popstar Tiffany and then makes references to watching her have sex with other teen pop icons. Again, the guy was Reddit before Reddit. If he were still alive today, he would have 100% been a White Dude for Harris.

EDIT: I fucking forgot that Bill Hicks condoned gay and trans soldiers in the armed forces before that was even a thing! I remember watching one of his bits where he said something along the lines of, "I don't care if you're gay, straight, or trans: anyone who's dumb enough to enlist the Army deserves to get killed in combat equally."
 
Bill Hicks was a Generation X liberal. In the 90s it was allowable to make all kinds of spicy jokes as long as it was understood that ultimately the butt of all these jokes was working class whites. Hicks, Carlin, and others like the Diceman mastered this dynamic to a “T” which is why they were able to get away with edgy material. This nuance started to fall out of favor in the 2000s and disappeared in the 2010s altogether.

its not even that, all it took was people questioning the material, no one questioned that "white middle class bankers" stuff from Carlin when it came out and its only through 4channers mocking their liberal bullshit have people turned Hicks/Carlin/Stanhope into persona non grata online.

It also has to do with culture as well, it was way easier to get away with never making jokes or points about non-whites or trans people because they were under everyones radar in pop culture before the 2010s.

Doug Stanhope was in his 50s before he met his first black person. thats how lucky liberals got to be in life. Hicks never really saying a non-liberal opinion probably made sense in the Reagan south, but there's also a reason Hicks never moved to bigger markets like LA or NYC, he wouldn't be able to get away with never pointing out the absurdity of blacks, Hicks' best friend in the texas comedy scene Sam Kinison went off on blacks and hip hop and that combined with his persona is why he's not given the praise Hicks gets despite a lot of similar material with a different persona attached to it. Hicks was too much of a coward to try his comedy in any major city which is why he was a road comic and then fucked off to europe. even Boston would have knocked his viewers right out of him

It reminds me of David Foster Wallace, whenever he's brought up i bring up his views on black people, the joke being that DFW despite being the usual urban lib had so little interactions with them he never formed any real opinions and thats despite living in harlem and going on cruises and to porn conventions and rap shows for articles, people also immediately understand what i'm saying about that too. because to anyone alive in the last 20 years it seems really fucking spineless and retarded to never notice or mention anything about non-whites and that is usually the major sticking point that gets comedians to stop being liberal.

As Michael Richards showed us in that famous stand up clip, blacks will fuck with you to the point that you'd have to be a total faggot to have nothing but nice things to say about them while being a comedian. making working class whites the butt of your jokes is a total crime if you're genuinely honest in your comedy. Kurt Metzger and Owen Benjamin were very much going down the Stanhope path until the last decade or so when they got fed up dealing with uptight liberals, niggers, trannies, and other protected classes. Even the most bland comedians nowadays have some jokes about the protected classes because of how uppity they are and how much they need to be taken down a peg
 
yknow it's funny i thought i heard the opposite about hicks, that he wasnt a superstar in europe because they found his routines twee and could only be popular in america, maybe im thinking of carlin
He was definitely worshiped as “one of the good ones” over there, where to be American was/is considered cringe by the left-wing intelligentsia. Hicks taking shits on working class white Americans made them love him.
 
The mark that you're being a preachy faggot on stage is when people online start calling you the new Carlin. They're never referring to his actually funny wordplay bits or the "what you're missing on TV right now" bits that haven't aged that well but are endearing to look back on. It's always in reference to his final couple of specials where he's bringing to the man maaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnn!

I saw some clips of the new Burr special on my social media and every retard in the comments section was sucking him off and saying that he's the new Carlin. You can guess how funny these clips were based on that.
 
I find this nigga Josh Johnson's popularity bewildering because he's just not particularly funny.
This is his most popular video and it's just him summarizing Kendrick Lamar and Drake's gay hiphop beef. Get a load of the title "Drake vs Kendrick Explained to White People" -really hitting his target demographic of niggas and self-hating whites.

I'll give him credit he's good at telling a story and can occasionally throw in an okay quip. But his material seems to just be telling these long stories with some talking down to white people peppered in, as well as some "wypipo amirite"s thrown in there. Okay I'm starting to see why he's so popular, niggas and self-hating whites eat this shit up.
Anyway he annoys me because he's just not a comedian in my eyes. Nigga doesn't tell jokes, he's like a condescending quippy news anchor. Or like if a youtube commentary news channel became a standup comedian, because again he doesn't seem to tell jokes and also doesn't do crowdwork. Just one of those fuckin' "comedians" that wants to be seen as a smart guy i guess, which is another thing that annoys the hell out of me. Like how insecure are those Ricky Gervais types that want to be seen as some smart social commentator, nigger your job is to make drunk people laugh, fucking know your lane.
