What I'd like to see is a comedian go after the jerk comedians like Sarah Silverman, Jeffrey Ross and Chelsea Handler and that blond that wears the short skirts to name a few. That WOULD be different!

I have a new standup/performance art routine that is just me saying the word "rape" for 30 minutes. You better be able to cut that down to 5 minutes if you're gonna do an Open Mic. Otherwise, you'll fit in with the rest of them.

Dear all comedians.
You will never be as good as older and dead comedians.

The thing I hate is when comedians say something "shocking" without telling an actual joke to go along with it. They just figure people will laugh just for the sake of shock value itself. Then again, people do laugh at that sort of thing so I don't know who's at fault more: the majority of people who find lazy incomplete material to be funny or the comics who take advantage of the fact that people will laugh at anything and just say the most unoriginal things they can because they know they can get away with it.
"So hey, do you ever use the toilet only to find that there's no toilet paper?"
BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"But wait, there's more to the joke. Aw, f*** it, you're already laughing. My job is done."

"So hey, do you ever use the toilet only to find that there's no toilet paper?" BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "But wait, there's more to the joke. Aw, f*** it, you're already laughing. My job is done." Yeah, we have this "comedian" in our local scene that does this. Everyone knows he isn't any good and we've tried to give him as much advice as possible but he refuses to improve and we're all too nice to tell him this. One of his standard jokes is "Today is one of those days where I want to put a plastic bag in a crib." That's it. And instead of trying to improve or develop himself, he keeps trying to mask his bad jokes with different delivery. He's purposely said "Yeah, I'm going to deliver my jokes like Steven Wright" or "I'm going to do a Zach Galifinaikis thing." Now he's trying to mix comedy and dubstep. Yeah. I feel kinda bad but almost admire him in a way because he hasn't given up yet. He hasn't shown improvement in the year-plus he's been doing it but he hasn't given up and something should be said for that, I guess.

Mr & Mrs Every Comedian are absolutely horrified, they tried to be as sensitive & intelligent as possible, they sourced things, they can't tolerate their good name being slandered.
They just wanted to make laughter; the coal of the emotion industry.

That WOULD be different! I've many times thought up routines based on other comedians' stuff, but I think there's kind of an unspoken rule that you don't really go after other comics, generally speaking...

The only acceptable voice of stand up comedy is that of the one who mocks stand up comedy.

That WOULD be different! That would be career suicide for most, not to mention they wouldn't bother. Most of them probably would either be too small to be able to do it without looking like a whiny upstart, or would be big enough to where they'd be better off making their own name. That, and these could be people they are friends with. Mostly the only way to get gone after in comedy is to crib bits, and if you want to see comedians go after people, that is more or less Joe Rogan's domain on that one. He loves taking people to task. What you are suggesting is a real-life version of Kathy Griffin in her Seinfeld role, and that just isn't sustainable in my eyes. You can only talk about another act so much before you get his with a cease letter or run out of material.

It's so sad to see people who think they're funny go up on stage and try to be shocking to get a laugh. Part of why I stopped doing stand up was because of how irritating it was to be around that.

...you're not shocking. You're not risque. You're not "dangerous". You're not a "bad boy of comedy". You're not the next Lenny Bruce. No one is scared of you or what you say. Now go say that on stage.

Most of the celebs that get trashed might do something stupid, but the comedians are bigger douches IMO for blowing it out of proportion.
