Comedians

Post by Marc »

Anyone have any favorite comedians? Russell Peters is one of my favorites. I grew up with a bunch of Indian friends, plus I'm familiar with the Asian foibles he points out through having studied the region, so there's a lot I find funny. And the joke at the end about how funny Cantonese sounds (like the person is falling off a cliff)... I've always said that, haha.

One of my favorite bits of his Outsourced show:

Harry Hill is a genius. I love his TV Burp show and his live acts, always makes me laugh every weekend. That comedian, Russell Peters you posted Marc; is pretty damn funny man. I especially liked this YouTube video:

I'd go to watch him if he ever comes here again.

I always found Frankie Boyle hilarious (the Scot in this video):

I am a big fan of John Cleese and Rowan Atkinson as well, practically everything those two have been in, I've found hilarious.

And here they are together for a change!

I'm actually a big fan of Adam Buxton (usually one half of "Adam & Joe", most famous for Channel 4's "Adam & Joe Show" from the late nineties). Some of this will probably be a bit too "British" for most outside of the UK.

His shit movie director character, "Ken Korda" is particularly good.

I'd have to go with John Cleese and Christopher Titus.
And then the long pulse of Zion Dub...

That Pablo Francisco seemed to be really famous in Scandinavia... They were all like "you have heard this guy, right?". The clip was interesting, the ending was funny indeed. he's really good with voices... the movie preview one is amazing (bad lip synch though)

But regarding comedians, I am not much into the, But Monty Python would have to be my favorite.

I am a big fan of David Cross, but I have no idea what he's up to these days. I want him to make fun of Obama.

I have to vote Pablo as well. Probably because I'm scandinavian.

We have to borrow good comedians from overseas because all comedians in Scandinavia are about as funny as getting queefed in the face.
