I’m very curious about Funny People! Saw the promotion thingy which aired on Comedy Central and I’m really looking forward to it! Only hoping it’s not too much of an Adam Sandler movie but more of Jude Apatow…

Anyone here see Funny People yet? I went in skeptical, left pleasantly pleased.

Dude I think you nailed it! Everybody loves it when the asshole heckler gets what’s coming to him. Well, except the asshole heckler, but he shouldn’t get a vote. Nice work Ryan!

As far as something universal that at least almost everyone likes is to not be the guy being railed on. I’m not speaking of trash talk necessarily. It’s just in almost any given show I’ve seen or been a part of, the one unifying thing that can rally a crowd is a well placed comeback, retort, clever comment, about something or someone that is right there right then.

It’s one of the few things in comedy that I’ve seen that absolutely takes real talent and usually experience. The asshole talk who thinks he’s funnier then you. The awkward noise or response to a question. The perfect put down to loudmouth. Almost everyone loves to not be that guy. Whether they laugh because it’s funny or they laugh because it’s not them or they laugh because you simply said exactly what was on their mind; almost all of them will laugh almost every time.

Except the asshole who was talking durring your show of course, and you know what? Fuck him.

@eschmiel
Dane Cook, Carlos Mencia and Carrot Top.

Just kidding.
I will assume this is coming from a fans point of view, so in my opinion, I would say it depends on your type of humor. I like George Lopez, Lewis CK, Lewis Black, Dave Chappelle, Peter Berman, Troy Bohunk (oops wrong podcast).. to name a few.. Older Steve Martin albums are still really funny.. Damn, I still get a kick out of my old Pauly Shore tapes.. and I do admit the first Dane Cook cd was funny.. after that he tanked.

if you’re new to stand-up, who are the comedians that you absolutely have to hear? Who are the stand-up legends?

No shit.. just saw this on twitter:
@RWZombie “Rob Zombie”
Gene Simmons introduced me to Carrot Top at Comic Con. Sounds like a set up for a joke. Nope, just an important moment in rock history.

My Mount Rushmore:
Carrot Top – props man.. props..
Dane Cook – what can I say?
Jeff Dunham – puppets.
Brian Mollica – need I say more?
