Stand Up Comedy.

[superbatranger]

1. What is your opinion on it in general?
I love it. I'm always looking for new comics.
2. Favorite comedian alive today?
Man, that is a hard question. Why must you ask hard questions? I'd have to go with George Lopez, Lewis Black, and Jim Gaffigan.
3. Favorite Comedian Ever?
Another hard one? Shit...Umm...Oh! I know! Mitch Hedberg, George Carlin, and..the previously mentioned in question 2.
4. Least favorite comedian alive today?
Finally, an easy question. Carrot Top and Dane Cook.
5. Least favorite comedian ever?
Look above. Have you seen Carrot Top's face? Creepy as hell.
6. Have you ever tried stand up comedy? How did that go?
I did, 12 years ago when I was in 2nd-3rd grade. No, I don't remember how I did. All I remember was that it was for a talent show in my school.

Got a problem with my choices?

I don't. Dane Cook is great in small doses. Like listening to him every once in a while, which I do.

OT:

1.) Love it.
2.) Patton Oswalt, John/Jon(dunno which it is) Pinette, Bob Marley, Dane Cook(he's great if you listen to him every once in a while, not all the time. If you listen all the time, he's fucking annoying), George Carlin, Sam Kinison, and Ralphie May.
3.) See #2.
4.) Carlos Mencia.
5.) Carlos Mencia.
6.) Fuck no, I'm too shy.

1. Love stand up comedy.
2. Reggie Watts, Bo Burnham, and Demetri Martin are among my favorites.
3. Bill Hicks.
4. Jeff Dunham, Blue Collar Comedy People, Carlos Mencia, etc.
5. Denis Leary.
6. Considered doing some jokes I wrote at a talent show, but I never did it.

1. What is your opinion on it in general? I love it, I think it's a great way of delivering humour.
2. Favorite comedian alive today? Eddie Izzard!
3. Favorite Comedian Ever? Eddie F**king Izzard!!
4. Least favorite comedian alive today? Most of the rest of them.
5. Least favorite comedian ever? Again, I find very few "real" stand-up comedians funny.
6. Have you ever tried stand up comedy? How did that go? I haven't tried yet, but I'm definately going to. Just have to work on my stagefright.

This is pretty much me.

I will say, however, that my least favourite comedian ever is definitely Michael Macintyre.

[FistpumpSnowbear]

1. Stand-Up is excellent if the comedian is excellent, which is generally the case.
2. Alive today: Daniel Tosh or Demetri Martin
3. All-time: Hedberg.
4. Least fave: Anyone who uses their gender or race to EXCESS for material.
5. Least-fave All-time: Ayeunno.
6. Nevar.

 

[gjendemsjo]

1. Don't watch it all that mutch, but I'm positive about it.
2. Comedian would be Bill Murray(Monty Python if we allowed groups), stand up comedian would be Jerry Seinfeld
3. George Carlin by faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar!
4. Whoever wrote Hannah Montana
5. Whoever wrote Alvin and the chipmunks 1 & 2(though I think that person is alive as well)
6. Never tried, though many people think that I'm hilarious and would be quite succesful if I tried.

 

[someonehairy-ish]

I love stand up comedy...
Favourite ones are probably bill bailey, dylan moran and tim minchin. Frankie Boyle and Michael McIntyre complete my top 5.
I don't really like Eddie Izzard much, but that being said I didn't give him much of a chance. I think the marathon thing he did was amazing though. Also I recently went off Lee Evans, bigtime. He just does the same silly voice and swears a lot and it got boring.

5. Dane Cook
6. Eh, I did a cheap imitation of it on youtube a couple years back, and that was pretty crappy. I've improved, but I'm still only 16 and most clubs wouldn't allow me through the front door, much less onto the stage.

 

[oktalist]

1. It's genius.
2. Stewart Lee.
3. ^^
4. Too many to choose one.
5. ^^
6. No. Unless you count quoting other comedians' jokes word for word in front of friends.

 

[2012 Wont Happen]

3. Bill Hicks.
...
5. Denis Leary.

Denis Leary- an untalented tosser who got famous ripping off a comedic legend.

 

[BlumiereBleck]

Its a great entertainment. Jeff Foxworthy. Probably Chris Farley. tina fey...shes just so awful. again tina fey. Nope.

 

[SCAFC Chimp]

1.) Adore it
2.) Chris Rock, Jason Manford, Jimmy Carr, John Bishop, Reginald D Hunter, and a Canadian whose name escapes me. Very good at one liners.
3.) Not listened to much older stand up, so Chris Rock
4.) Russell Brand, and the dead terrorist one. Can't stand either of them
5.) Russell Brand
6.) Nope, but maybe one day...

 

[Rakun Man]

1. love it
2. So many, Henry Cho, Lewis Black, Chris Rock, Steven Wright...
3. Might have to go with Steven Wright.
4. Sarah Silverman. Grow up.
5. above
6. No, but I would like to try it.

Edit.

 

[teqrevisited]

1. I love it.
2. Ross Noble absolutely kills me.
3. Richard Pryor was a legend.
4. Lee Nelson. I just plain don't like chavs.
5. I've not seen many bad comedians, so I'll just go with #4.
6. No but I once had the main role in a sort of visual comedy act. That went extremely well.

 

[TheDustyBanana]

1. I grew up with it so it's a vital part of my sense of humor.
2. Probably a tie between Christopher Titus and Eddie Izzard
3. George "Mister Conductor" Carlin.
4. Probably Carlos Mencia or Dane Cook or Larry the Cable Guy
5. See above
6. I've never done actual stand up comedy, like say in a night club or in front of an actual audience, so no. But when I joke around with friends my style of jokes are usually in the same vein as stand up...so kinda in a not really sorta way.

 

[Ickorus]

1. I love it, some of the guys that do it can get me near pissing myself with laughter.

2. Ed Byrne easily.

3. Gonna have to stick with Ed Byrne.

4. That wierd looking ginger twat, carrot top or whatever. (No offence ginger people, that's just his most obvious feature)

5. Same again, I really don't like the guy.

6. Not really though I do crack a lot of jokes at college.

Spoiler: Ed Byrne

 

[Griphphin]

1. What is your opinion on it in general?
Love stand up comedy!
2. Favorite comedian alive today?
Louis C.K. is my favorite, followed by Dave Atell and a few others.
3. Favorite Comedian Ever?
Louis C.K., as I'm not old enough to have really gotten into George Carlin, Richard Pryre, etc., though I find them funny as well by and large.
4. Least favorite comedian alive today?
George Lopez is pretty terrible IMO, as well as most comedians that rely on appeal to a certain ethnicity to relate to their jokes.
5. Least favorite comedian ever?
I'll have to say George Lopez again, Dane Cook isn't one of my favorites but he's got a few funny sketches and his earlier stuff (before his delivery became just talking in a very intense tone to keep the mood) was decent.
6. Have you ever tried stand up comedy? How did that go?
I couldn't do stand-up, I get stage fright like crazy, which is a real shame, as around my friends I'm the "crazy funny" guy, and I always have to answer that whenever the subject of us going into stand up comes up.
