I say modern era because there mighta been someone just KILLING it with Gilgamesh jokes in 250bc. I say man because women are rarely funny. My picks: |

I wanna say, Woody Allen, Bill Cosby, and Louis CK, but apparently they're politically incorrect now-a-days |

yeah there are definitely funny women, but it's *usually* more like witty and clever, little bit snarky. Nothing like whatever was going on with Chris Farley, just thinking about him makes me laugh. I do really like Tiny Fey, and Joan Rivers tho. And Susie Essman who is featued in that Larry David clip above. back when I used to kinda use twitter, I followed some funny chicks. and (that tweet is gold) |

oh man susie kills it in CYE. i love standup as an artform tho, don't get out to comedy clubs nearly enuf. joan rivers is very nicely acerbic but fairly US-centric. feels like i'm only getting a peppering from a full buckshot blast |

Never heard of that one, funny movie? I don't watch many pure comedies, usually cuz some predictable romance angle drives the plot resolution. I liked Meet the Parents and 40 year old virgin, moviewise. Less "sentiment" there. TV shows, at least in the past, are better. Seinfeld, always sunny, arrested development are good tv comedies with less overt messaging. Sopranos is actually some of the funniest shit I've ever seen, but it's buried in a more cynical outlook that comes through in the character dynamics. Cohen bros too (No Country For Old Men is basically a comedy movie, when you shine the right light on it). |

Nothing like whatever was going on with Chris Farley, just thinking about him makes me laugh. i'm so very tired of being sensitive about women. i'd rather be sensitive about fat people fat does not necessarily mean not in shape ~ ~ back when four loko was legal and just because you're fat doesn't mean you can't do speedballs ~ ~ i don't care what he was on for this; it was worth it |

sarah silverman has a special gift but my all time favourite is german helge schneider, but hes hard to get if youre foreign, because his humor is hard to translate, a unique kind of clumsy abstractness, that actually nails it. his clumsy behaviour and clown like appearence dont match with tv or international humorists. he is the modern days fool at court. even fooling his audience right along with it. true mastermind. and a gifted musician aswell. he plays an incountable number of instruments. |

> epic were you more thinking currently when you said eric andre?? i'm incredibly glad you asked: i was previously thinking currently, but i'm currently thinking that i was previously wrong for thinking currently, and should have thought previously, previously. obviously, i now think previously, currently, and i binge watched everything i could pirate during the peak of the pandemic, 2020, and it literally hurt to breathe the next day. i have to admit i've gone on another tour or two through it with less gargantuan results. additionally... things like his desk giving birth; not everyone appreciates this. maybe it is crap and i just like it because it's precisely the sort of shit i'd come up with, except with more bodily fluids. i cited george carlin and andy kaufman. there's a definite like, punk rock andy kaufman with a bit of carlin's biting commentary, in a back-alley parody of an 80's public access show. but here's where we run into a wall, because i don't know if you have hazy childhood memories of those shitty shows. how old are you, mermaidman? where did you grow up? we need these parameters for the discussion to continue. otherwise, kindly gtfo |
