Babycat Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Robin Williams. About 1986. He was talking about swearing, and he recalled the story of his son in being in the back of the car. He said that his son repeated what his dad had said: "F*** it, f*** it, f*** it." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
circumstantial tree Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 I'm not that knowledgeable about stand comedians but typically I find women to be funnier in their acts than men. Elaine Stritch is funny. As for men, George Lopez can be hilarious. I saw one of his stand up routines on TV and he had me laughing pretty good. I remember he made a comment about the reality show "Survivor" where he stated he couldn't understand why producers would put the cast on tropical islands. He said that they should try putting them in South Central L.A. and see if they can survive there. It's not funny the way I write it but his delivery was hilarious. And he definitely pokes fun at the latino community, good naturedly of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Principled Man Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 My best Bill Cosby experience was when I was a child and I had his album Wonderfulness. I could still listen to it today and laugh my ass off..... His stories of Special Class, Tonsils, and The Chicken Heart are immortal to me. http://sixties60s.com/1966/wonderfulness.jpg Richard Pryor's Live In Concert (his very first film) is the best on stage stand-up film EVER.... Joan Rivers was severely underrated as a comedian. Her wit and unrelenting nasty-satire of celebrities was brilliant! Kathy Griffin is a master story-teller. She's like Joan Rivers, but with more body to her stories. Rivers was more like a drive-by shooter with her mockeries, but Griffin spins 15-minute long epics about her "encounters" with certain celebrities and political dorks.

Back in the day, she was an outstanding comedian.....and she also pissed quite a few people off! Her famous catch phrase was "Can we talk?"....meaning she wanted to have a no-holds-barred talk about whichever celebrity was to be skewed that day.... the funniest smack-talk of her Era.....

One of the best bits in the history of comedy... That was one of his bits on the Have You Seen Me Lately? album, and it was probably my favorite bit he ever did. He made it funny, and he had a pretty good point. I'm not a huge Kinison fan though... the rampant homophobia was off-putting because he wasn't being (it seemed) ironic. He really came off as genuinely hating gays. That, plus the novelty of hearing him scream "OH-OHHHHH!" over and over and over wore pretty thin after about ten minutes. More than most comics of the era, he's very dated. He was a very 80's kind of guy and his attitudes and resulting comedy reflect that. Compared to things that some other comics - Carlin, for example - put out in the 80's, Kinison doesn't hold up especially well. He died in April of 1992. I wonder what his comedy would have been like in later years. The way I see it, he could have chosen the Eddie Murphy route - cleaning up, taking on more mainstream projects - or he could have taken the Andrew Dice Clay route, fading into career obscurity and irrelevance.

Probably the latter. By the end of his brief career (and life ) he had milked the outrageous scream routine for all it could take. Really and Lenny Bruce kind of story...
