Rita Rudner is pretty much in Vegas now. -- nm - Remlik Jul 29, 12:50 3
- I'm so glad she's found lasting success. Twentysomething me used to find her really attractive because of the voice -- nm - con_carne Jul 29, 12:57 2
  - god yes. -- nm - Remlik Jul 29, 13:12 1
    - Thinking about it, it was really ASMR -- nm - con_carne Jul 29, 13:14
And one was the horribly annoying woman that I'm pretty sure most of us had never heard of before that episode. I turned it off, I couldn't get - Krusty Jul 29, 12:34 2
- Miranda Sings. Yeah, that episode was... different. :) -- nm - con_carne Jul 29, 12:35 1
  - That never should have made it to air. It was so bad. -- nm* - Krusty Jul 29, 12:39
Not saying it factors into this at all but one thing to keep in mind is that a fair number of comedians have great stand-up but in interviews are not - Spawn Jul 29, 12:19
Not trying to start something, but I've always found female comedians funnier than male ones. Some thoughts inside for perusal: - MDH Jul 29, 12:01 26
- The Dane Cook era was a dark one for comedy, to be sure. -- nm - Reagen Jul 29, 12:33 12
  - He was terrible but there were a lot of great comics at that time plus Carlin was still alive and working. -- nm - Krusty Jul 29, 12:36 11
    - Hell, I really like Foxworthy and Engvall. - Will Hunting Jul 29, 12:37 10
      - Foxworthy is underrated but forever tied to the You Might Be A Redneck schtick. -- nm - Tim Jul 29, 12:43 1
        
        Yeah, Engvall did a show where he told us to start, there'd be no "Here's your sign" jokes till the very end. - Will Hunting Jul 29, 12:45
      - Hell, Ron White could be hilarious depending on the subject at hand. -- nm - Spawn Jul 29, 12:39 6
        
        I've seen a special of his and liked it, and then heard he's basically doing the same routine for years...that hurts -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 29, 12:43 2
        
        yeah he's on air here in town a lot and it's same shit. -- nm - Remlik Jul 29, 12:46
        
        He’s basically got the one classic set that he’s been doing for years. -- nm - Tim Jul 29, 12:46
        
        Yup. He got rich off that potato salad joke -- nm - Krusty Jul 29, 12:40 2
        
        I think we can all agree that Larry the Cable Guy is the "K" in that FMK of that comedy group. -- nm - Spawn Jul 29, 12:41 1
        
        Ha! No doubt -- nm - Krusty Jul 29, 12:42
      - I don't care for their comedy but I understand the appeal. -- nm - Krusty Jul 29, 12:38
- I watch a lot of standup and for the most part women are just starting to really make more of an impact in the genre. Men have dominated for so - Krusty Jul 29, 12:32 4
  - Ever heard of Maria Bamford? Prolly my fave female comic -- nm - con_carne Jul 29, 12:34 3
    - Of course. She's great! - Krusty Jul 29, 12:37
    - She's solid. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 29, 12:35
    - She is on my top 5 comedian list. -- nm* - Spawn Jul 29, 12:35
- Lampanelli might be the most unfunny human being I've ever seen. Like, no insight on life; her shtick wasn't fun. - Will Hunting Jul 29, 12:07 2
  - word -- nm - Spawn Jul 29, 12:12
  - Her comedy downfall was pretty historic. She now hosts "empowering women's retreats" - MDH Jul 29, 12:09
- See, I find the opposite. I see your comedians (one of which I have seen live) and give you Jon Stewart, Aziz and back-in-the day Dennis Miller. -- nm - Spawn Jul 29, 12:04 4
  - Somewhat related, when I was teen/college all CC played was Cook and Blue Collar Comedy Tour - yeah not so much my thing. -- nm - MDH Jul 29, 12:06
  - Don't think I've knew Stewart did standup (will check this out), Aziz can be GREAT (hit or miss sometimes), Miller I can't stand. -- nm - MDH Jul 29, 12:06 2
    - Miller now is awful. But as I said, back-in-the day he was a deity. One thing Jon talked about that sticks with me. - Spawn Jul 29, 12:16 1
      - Lol -- nm - con_carne Jul 29, 12:17
Women can be totally funny. -- nm - Eric Cartman Jul 29, 11:56
Speaking of female comedians, if you haven't already checked out some of Katherine Ryan's stuff, you should do it. -- nm - Shaun Jul 29, 11:55 1
- I didn't like her newest special as much. I like Eliza Shlesinger a lot though. -- nm - sycor Jul 29, 12:47
that's a damn good point. damn good. -- nm - Remlik Jul 29, 11:51
It's getting harder and harder to explain shit away. nm - John Murphy Jul 29, 11:48
Kinds surprised it's that many. (This should be a poll) -- nm - Roger More Jul 29, 11:48 6
- Sarah Silverman, Joan Rivers? (not sure when it started), Aisha Tyler, Amy Schumer, Margaret Cho, Ali Wong, Ellen, Bridget Everett -- nm - MDH Jul 29, 12:03 5
  - Silverman was the first female guest on the show. Rivers was asked to be the fifth season's first guest, but demurred because of a medical procedure - Roger More Jul 29, 12:16 3
    - Schumer is a yes, btw -- nm - con_carne Jul 29, 12:18 2
      - I saw him pick her up for the show. She used to live across the street from a building where I have multiple clients. -- nm - Krusty Jul 29, 12:59
      - My mistake, I must have typod in the 'find' box -- nm - Roger More Jul 29, 12:20
  - FTR, at least five of these have been on the show. Everett just this season. -- nm - con_carne Jul 29, 12:09
maybe he couldn't find any girls who like coffee -- nm - decline Jul 29, 11:48 2
- Or cars! -- nm - Shaun Jul 29, 11:54 1
  - Or Jerry! -- nm - Spawn Jul 29, 11:59
