Think there`s a couple of people on here more funnier than Bill Burr.

Didn't think much of that Bill Burr rant.
An uncouth American being uncouth.
Not overly impressive.

Stewart Lee is at the top table for sure.
His bit about that Scouse UKIP chap is legendary.

It occurred to me last night after giving Bert Kreischer's new special just 5 pathetic minutes, that the guys in Joe Rogan's circle of comedian friends are absolutely shite. I constantly hear Rogan blowing his own trumpet about the craft and how to work the crowd etc but they all have the same setup and delivery when on stage, like reality TV shows all have the same setup and delivery. They've turned into an act instead of being guys that are actually funny. See Brendan Schaub as a prime example. It seems anyone around that Comedy Store clique can be a comedian if they "work hard enough", load of bollox. This Billy Connolly clip appeared on my feed and just cemented what I thought. If you're not naturally funny you can't just become a comedian. Fuck you, Rogan. And Kreischer. And take your shit "this one time my wife was giving me a handjob" schtick and set fire to it along with all your notes.
Thank you for reading my rant.

Think Joey Diaz is naturally funny but I know what you mean Vin.

Soz, I'd give Joey the time for sure. At least there's truth in his style. I can't abide these 2-bit Yank comedians who make silly faces and overact in order to make a shit story into a joke. See 98% of Comedy Store lineups for example.
Also I might add, Rogan's constant reference to Sam Kinison is doing my swede in. The guy was muck.

Americans, in general, don't do the bants particularly well.
We're blessed that being from the UK, we're just naturally funny.

i actually thought burt kreischer's special was surprisingly good. i had zero expectations going into it through, so that probably helps. segura wasn't bad either. ultimately they're both b-level comedians at best.
as much as i love the jre podcast, i can't watch his standup. it's just bad. i really think joe just worked himself into a role as a comic, rather than being naturally funny. you see it with guests like theo von, when their jokes go right over joe's head.
definitely looking forward to joey diaz's special. i haven't seen him do stand up, but he can tell a story with the best of them and he's lived a pretty interesting life, so he should have the material.

I've watched about 10 minutes combined of Joe Rogan bits and I don't find him funny at all. Comedy marketed towards college stoners and frat boys. Junk basically. Kreischer's special falls into that category for me too.
Theo Von and Joey Diaz have crazy backgrounds so they're genuinely funny and have funny stories to tell. None of their bits seem contrived, they're just stories.

It's okay for people to like different things Vin.

It's okay for people to like different things Vin. It's aaaaall subjective of course. I think I just noticed the "template" they all use now to perform rather than being naturally funny people, as the Big Yin is.

I think I have regressed as I now prefer Bernard Manning and the blokes off The Comedians from the 70s.
