Who is the best stand up comedian? - Nubblies.net Forums

killerboarder · 11-12-2002, 05:45 PM

Personally, I think Seinfeld takes this topic because of the fact that he can take the real life irony of a topic and make it funny, and the fact that he can do it in a "I don't care" kind of manner, but so does many other comedians. What do you guys think?

Sorry about the other post my computer is acting like shit.

Ahh, The Amazing Jonathan, absolutely hilarious. That's a name that you probably won't see on too many lists...but deserves to be on all of them.

tonguegina · 11-13-2002, 12:36 AM

1. Seinfeld
2. Leary (if you haven't heard, you should)
3. Cosby
4. Kevin James
5. Drew Carey

I can't belive Ugly Bastard left Leary off of his list.

Ugly Bastard · 11-13-2002, 01:31 AM

Leary is funny. But most of his comedy is other people singing, and "fuck you" jokes, those other guys are more original

-Ugly Bastard

tonguegina · 11-13-2002, 01:38 AM

no, that's all him singing. and i like how much he curses. I also noticed you left off James.

I thought about puting Kaufman on, but decided that since he didn't want to be known as a stand up comedian, I wouldn't count him as one. (by the way, if any of you haven't seen "Man on the Moon", you need to...it's damn good.)

11-13-2002, 01:41 AM

Leary's energy is what puts him over the top. He's a fucking madman, and that's what I like about him. "Capital n, little y, BIG FUCKING Q." Hilarious.

Ugly Bastard · 11-13-2002, 01:42 AM

tonguegina-

Yes I left off James, you can't fit every good comedian onto a list of five.

James, who only has one album out, and ripped half of his stuff off of Jerry Seinfeld, isn't a better comedian than the guys I listed, I like him, don't get me wrong....I just don't think he is one of the five greatest comedians of all-time.

-Ugly Bastard

Niger Angelus · 11-13-2002, 02:04 AM

How about Chris Rock, he is rather funny, and Bernie Mac, along with the rest of the kings of comedy, and Dennis Leary is good, very funny guy I have to say.

Ugly Bastard · 11-13-2002, 02:36 AM

They're all funny guys. We wouldn't be talking about them if they sucked.

A little note though: When someone makes a list of what THEY think are the Top 5 of something, you have to realize that-
a.) it's not your list, it's there's
b.) they can't put 55 people on a Top 5 list.

-Ugly Bastard

buckeye · 11-13-2002, 12:23 PM

all chris rock does is make fun of white guys, if i was a comedian and made fun of black people, the african americans would get their panties in a knot and get pissed off at me.

Ugly Bastard · 11-13-2002, 12:27 PM

buckeye-

That was the smartest post you have made on nubblies.com to date. Nice work, and keep it up.

-Ugly Bastard

buckeye · 11-13-2002, 01:21 PM

thank you UB, it will be something i work on.

St. Anky · 11-14-2002, 01:36 AM

Bastard, I have to disagree with everyone on your list, especially Jerry Fucking Seinfeld. Kramer made that entire show funny and Seinfeld was the bitch. And what the hell is up with Bill Cosby??? That old yap has nothing better to do than molest little children while promising them jello "jigglers" afterwards.

I understand that its YOUR post, and that you have every right to voice your opinion. But for Christ's sake, get some taste.

Niger Angelus · 11-14-2002, 01:50 AM

Does anyone know of any good mexican comedians? Maybe Yanky can start to use some of their stuff so the posts he makes can possess some humor, and possibly, not make him look like an idiot.

Ugly Bastard · 11-14-2002, 01:51 AM

Anky-

I never said Jerry Seinfeld was the funniest Seinfeld character. I said he was the funniest comedian of all time. The show was named after him for a reason, he's funnier than hell.

It is apparant you have never heard any of his stand-up by your post, so why don't you go ahead and shut up......you don't see me arguing who the best Mexican-Crack-Whores are do you?? (even though we all know that would be your Mother..........wait, you don't have a Mother, sorry.)

-Ugly Bastard

tonguegina · 11-14-2002, 02:03 AM

Anky-

I believe you said something like, "Kramer made that entire show funny and Seinfeld was the bitch." While Kramer was humerous, there would be no show without Seinfeld. All this quote does is show your stupidity in appreciation for slapstick comedy. I supose for mexicans, all you need to do to get a laugh is trip on something. Well, here in America, we use people called strait men, or as you call them, "bitches". If it weren't for these people the show would make no sense. I've watched Galavision to make fun of the fuckers, and it's like watching an episode of Three's Company. All they do is fall over...gay as hell...I guess that's where you got your homosexual tendancies.

And what was with that entire Bill Cosby shit? He's fucking hillerious. I don't know where you get the "molesting", maybe that's something from your past that you need to take up with him, but I've never heard any reports. As for the Jello...yeah, he's the spokesman...what the hell's you're point?

St. Anky · 11-14-2002, 02:10 AM

Lets analyze this war here for a second.

It seems Bastard has no better comebacks than to make fun of my ethnicity (something thats been going on since elementary school) and my mother. Way to be original there pal.

Also, I have Niger Angelus here, calling me an idiot. Niger, I dont think I've ever read a post on here when you went out on a limb to voice your own opinion. Rather, I see you filing into conformity with Bastard and anyone else who's already begun to bash on someone, just so you dont feel left out. Also, when you DO have anything to say, you never really back it up with any hard details. Its quite alright that you call me an idiot, but at least post a reason for your comment.

Ugly Bastard · 11-14-2002, 02:12 AM

I'll tell you what Anky. I will stop making fun of you and your shitty race of "people" (if you can call them that). As soon as you get off the red-head bit.

That whole concept of the fire-crotch really seems to interest you. I'm startin to wonder....

-Ugly Bastard

St. Anky · 11-14-2002, 02:17 AM

When you say "wonder", are you sure you dont mean hope?

And in the rules of war, is such a trade allowed? (Maybe we can get Orgazmo to mediate)

Ugly Bastard · 11-14-2002, 02:20 AM

No actually Anky, when I say "wonder" I really do mean "wonder". They'll teach you that in English as a Second Language soon enough.

-Ugly Bastard

St. Anky · 11-14-2002, 02:27 AM

You dumbfuck, you just double-quoted yourself. If you re-read your post, you'll find that you're referring "'wonder'" as a direct proportion to itself, ultimately making no sense whatsoever. Maybe being down in BSU wit' all dem blaq folk, has got that ebonics shit rubbing off on you. Fo shizzle.

tonguegina · 11-14-2002, 02:33 AM

Made sense to me Anky. Maybe you should be in one of those special needs classes...you know, you can sit next to the kid with Down Syndrome.
