What makes a comedian funny?

[SimuLord]

Done. And I hope this perfume ad is the one with Keira Knightley where she's got her tits out.

What tits? I've seen more fat on a skinless chicken breast. That chick needs to eat something once in awhile.

Pervert.

Pervert? Because I think bones are for dogs? Give me a busty, voluptuous WW2-era pinup girl over any of these so-called "hot" chicks today. And make 'em all-natural, please.

I think I just found legitimate reason for polygamy.

I love feeling loved =]

Run away with me.

Done. And I hope this perfume ad is the one with Keira Knightley where she's got her tits out.

Why of course, is there any other pretentious, tit-wielding perfume adverts out there that we would refer to?

If there isn't, there needs to be.

I sense a future career.

Not for me my friend. I look like Joseph Carey Merrick. To quote Russell Howard, I'd be holding my floppers aloft like some ferrets I'd found at an illegal fairground.

Merrick was a looker.

Then you, me, and my floppers are going to get along like a house on fire.

I never quite understood that one, but then again none of those sayings ever really make sense.

There's a chance that I'm messing with you. And finding busty all-natural tits these days is like finding Jesus in your toast.

Christ. You polygamists work fast.

When there's beer involved, I find most people work fast (until they've drunk it, that is, and they become a gibbering sack of stupid, lying on the floor covered in their own vomit. But we tend to deal with that when it happens).

For me, the deciding factor for a comedian is whether or not I can relate to what he/she has to say. As funny as a celebrity anecdote might be, I can't say I relate to that. But a story about flashing the camera on Splash Mountain at Disney Land? I think that thought has occurred to all of us at one point.

That said, it's hard for me to choose just one comedian. I'll chose the one I've seen latest, in the interest of fairness; Gabriel Iglesias. He's definitely one of the greats, as he doesn't make his Hispanic heritage the complete center of his act, while also taking care to remember his roots.

Personally, I find Demetri Martin to be the funniest comedian out there. I find his odd observations and his ability to work art and music into his show hilarious. His stage presence is also great; he tells each joke loud and clear, and with confidence that his audience is going to laugh at them. Most of his jokes are also universally appealing, so he's not controversial like other comedians.

 

[Unstoppable Wall]

To me a good comedian is someone that actually makes me laugh, I mean like out loud, holy shit I'm dying, type laughter not just the heh that you get from most, that being said, Stephen Lynch, Dane Cook,and Christopher Titus have to be some of my favorites
