Is stand-up comedy obsolete?

This. If I was there in-person, and was pretty drunk I'd probably enjoy it more, but when you watch stand-up at home they're shit.

Personally, I think when people resort to stand-up it means their career is going to shit.

What was the last good stand-up special?

Why would it be?

I just don't see what comedians can possibly joke about anymore, especially if they're white.

You don't see to know much about the scene.

>i am of superior intelligence because i have no sense of humour
all the good comedians are insecure, the shitty ones (like Burr) are the narcissists
stand-up is how the majority of comedians begin their careers, moron

Dave Chappelle - For What it's Worth

Welcome to performance artists. Musicians, actors, theater, stand up, painters. It's the whole point.

Stand up comedy isn't supposed to make you laugh, it's supposed to make you think.

>It's the whole point.
no it isn't retard
the good creatives create for themselves and whoever wants to listen
the narcissists paste their mediocre autotuned voice on top of a repetitive beat and shitty lyrics written by someone else and jump around on stage

It certainly is at the moment. Worst state comedy in general has ever been in.

They both perform to display their talent and be looked at. Just because one has talent and the other does not it does not make their motives any different.

That doesn't even make sense. The greatest standup special of all time is by a black guy.

Nah seriously though Delirious is hugely underappreciated but Raw was the goat.

Nah, Dave Chappelle is still alive.

I completely disagree. Delirious had better bits all the way through. Although the bit about Johnny Carson's wife is top tier.

Delirious is better.

Yeah the shit ones are. Nobody says this about the good specials when they are fresh and relevant. The problem is you kids (avoiding z word) have only known shitty neoliberal comics or moderates like CK and Silverman who flip flopped to the bigger demographic when it was convenient.

i hate bo burnham.

What an asshole.

My 3x national champ muay thai coach told me about a chinese fight doctor known as 'Dr. Feel-Good' because when reviewing injured fighters he would always say "how you? you feel good?".

Why. He seems quite talented to me

they perform because they have things to say and people to say them to. You're doing the exact same thing by posting here. The difference is they have the talent and the initiative to monetize it

Stand-up is kind of obsolete because 80% of it are jokes and stories that could be better conveyed through other platforms (podcasts, videos, talk shows, sketches, tweets, literally anything). There's nothing Bill Burr says on his specials that wouldn't be funnier on Conan, MMM or O&A.

Pic related is unironically the only person who thinks of it as something whole and different. He's like a movie director playing with editing, cinematography and angles back when everybody was just filming plays. But nobody will follow his example because it takes too much effort.

It must suck to have a sibling whose success in life just shoots off into the stratosphere. Makes me glad I'm an only child.

Eddie's impression of his father is way funnier in Delirious as well, actually.

>Brendan Schaub is a prick
Shocked.

You're a retard. Posting on an anonymous imageboard is not in the same ball park as getting up on stage to showcase one's talents. People perform because they like to show off what they can do and because validation is delicious. Some of them are hugely talented, but don't believe for a minute that vanity isn't the primary motivation for it.

No, but sketch comedy is.

that's just a lazy old routine no wonder he's famous as a podcaster

If it wasnt so fucking politically correct and politically motivated, it would be better.

You're not allowed to be offensive, and everything now is about fucking relationships and shit.

everyone likes validation. it's ingrained in humanity. don't pretend like you don't care about it just because you post on an anonymous image board. people like the feeling of their personal efforts being enjoyed by other people, whether those efforts are made anonymously or not.

No it's not. You're just a fuckin retard.

I pretended no such thing, I was merely making the assertion that performers perform for the same reasons regardless of whether they're 'good creatives' or 'narcissistic and mediocre'.

you made the assertion that seeking validation makes you a narcissist, which is not true

Different guy, buddy. was my first post.

oh for fuck sakes

pleb tier opinion

dibs on big spoon

Stewart Lee's Comedy Vehicle is the only good standup on Netflix.

john pinette is jolly

podcasts and previously radio were always more funny than standup was because it was more organic
standup relies too much on tired setups and "heres this bullshit story that totally happened to me" kind of stuff
podcasts and radio just allow comedians to be more organically funny and entertaining

Like David Bowie's Blackstar puts a cap on all rock music, Comedy Vehicle actually puts a cap on stand-up comedy. Sure, there's pretenders afterwards, but the artform has now peaked and we can just stop.

WHITED

Lee's like the Penn & Teller of standup. He's an old hand and knows all the routines, can do them better than anyone, but chooses to use them in a way that exposes them and then subverts them and makes them funnier

This
Blackstar is actually good, unlike the sweaty music this virgin prolly listens to

Once Louie comes back with a new special called "jerking around" stand-up comedy will be revived.

this was funnier than any stand-up routine I've seen

Bleached* ftfy

frienship simulators (podcasts) and twitter have taken over stand up, the millennial/zoomer brand of fifty levels of irony humour works best over text and it's what we're all most accustomed to and being able to be a funny online guy is the best way to gain social clout for men and
almost everyone online now is {profression} + funny twitter guy persona but at the same time people are becoming more autistic and less funny in real life.

>>suddenly a hellish shriek can be heard in the background

top lul

continuing, this is probably a bad thing as it follows the trend of further atomisation of everything cultural into a million and one marketable demographics (use our promo code at bluechew so you can fuck your gf on your casper after you buy her a bra from thirdlove) instead of having comedians that everyone knows (pryor, carlin, chappelle) associated with an entire era that spoke to everyone and that we could all laugh with or reflect on our current state as a physical group we now have completely separate groups of alienated people with no real shared reference points laughing at shit in their bubbles (netflix comedy, weird niche twitter, shared podcast universes, even imageboards, twitch, etc) who as far as they're concerned are living in separate realities and can barely relate to anyone on the outside (the normies) and lends to bullshit like identity politics. i'm probably propping up stand up too much, and it's not really a medium i give a shit about, but i think we're definitely losing something as we continue to delve deeper into the era of identities and tiny subcultures.
