Comedians

[Channel98]

Here is Louie Anderson's first appearance on The Tonight Show, 1984 – but why does every fat comedian have to do so many jokes about being fat? In 2019, Louie told the Philadelphia Enquirer that he's "scaling back" the fat jokes because he no longer needs to do self-deprecating humor in order to get laughs. Congratulations, Louie. It took you only 35 years to realize that!

Carson never invited him to sit on the couch. I guess it wasn't re-enforced.

Speaking of fat comedians who goof on themselves... here's Mr "YOU GO NOW! YOU HERE FOUR HOUR!" John Pinette

Here, from 1988, is one of my favorite George Carlin routines. He is dismayed by all the euphemisms invented by white people and the government – and I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who hates the expression "80 years young."

I'm really digging this guy lately. Don't know how long he's been around but he's new to me and I like him.

Here is Jim Carrey at age 21, impersonating celebrities' faces. I love his "Michael Landon smiling."

And here is Jim Carrey's hilarious impression of Wile E. Coyote:

I am convinced that Theo Von Is playing a very convincing character like Sam Kinison. Not the same type of comedy, but the same type of never-breaking character type funny man.

I know Theo is a southern guy and you can see some of the shit he did when he was a lot younger. He did like road rules or something on MTV and he had the same accent and stuff but it was not at all the same.

I would describe his comedic style as a guy pretending to be a stupid hick that in reality is a super funny southern philosopher.

And he knows how that shit can make him money. He knows to never break character. That's the ticket. If you break character once you can never get it back. And so far he's never done it.

But I'm pretty sure that if you're his girlfriend or aunt or friend from growing up he does not act the same way whatsoever.

My two favorite 30 something comedians are akaash singh and stavros halkias. Check them out. They're both fantastic American comedians even though they have weird, foreign names like I and singh is probably my favorite of the two. They're both really good at crowd work and he is better at it.

Anyway, he's a co-host on this podcast called flagrant and he turned me on to this story. Check it out.

Apparently India only has a truncated version of free speech.

This random comedian singh mentioned got in trouble for a would you rather scenario..... Watch your parents have sex everyday for the rest of your life or join in one time to end it.

I'm not sure what I would do there. It all depends on what everyday and join in means. If everyday means 5 minutes then I'll live with that. But if everyday means 12 hours..... I don't know.

I guess I could do something with my dad just one time to get that torturous fucking shit over with but if I had to do something with my mom then I'm putting up with watching 24 hours of them together.

So what would you guys do? I think I answered pretty honestly so you nerds better answer honestly too.

Boy! You’re thinking about that too hard.
Thinking isn’t a good thing for you.

Now go schedule an appointment with your therapist.

Hahah. Fair point. But you didn't answer.

So answer the question.

I finally got around to watching the Tom Brady roast. It's almost 3 hours which is too long, but it was funny and worth watching.

The joke of the night definitely came from Nikki Glaser and it was like an hour into the show. That girl is really funny.

When it aired, I made it through the first half (which was good), and that was enough. Yeah, that Nikki Glaser joke was awesome.

When I was a kid I used to have that far side daily calendar thing and then I figured out that they still sell them. So I got one for 2025 and I've been keeping all the days that I deem worthy of keeping and this is the most recent one I kept and I don't know it made me actually LOL.

I can't believe I haven't mentioned Kill Tony yet. I've been watching a ton of that show. If you haven't seen it, it's like The Gong Show for only comedians.

I'll go into it more later but this is the most recent joke I saw that made me really lol.
