Can't edit so I'll post again to make an update: the whole video is actually a long ass boring intro made up of forced edgy-wannabe jokes and idiotic musicals. This guy is the kate upton of comedy, and kate upton is the armin van buuren of modeling, so that should give an idea about how lame this is.

Anyways, this got me looking for some other new comedians to check out, here's a short list that I came up with so far: George Carlin, Richard Pryor, Carlos Mencia, Louis CK, Bill Hicks, Mitch Hedberg, Bill Cosby...

Drop the Carlos Mencia and add Bill Burr

^This. Burr's the shit.

Mencia is infamous in the comic world for being a phony dude and constantly stealing jokes. You're probably actually listening to 6 different comedians anytime you watch a Mencia show.

Joe Rogan Destroys Carlos Mencia on Stage:

In contrast, Bill Burr is 100% original and slowly approaching legendary status as a comedian, especially ever since the infamous "Philadelphia Incident." Basically, a tough crowed in Philly booed some great comedians for the first 2 hours of the show, and when it was Bill's turn, he decided he wasn't going down like a pussy. Hilarity ensues:

Also check out Doug Stanhope if you like Bill Hicks and Carlin.
 
thanks for posting the Joe Rogan calling out Mencia for stealing shit vid. Carlos is a hack that stole other people's routines. Definitely doesn't deserve to be in the same line up as those others listed.

No need to bring Armin van Buuren into this. ASOT kicks ass :love-smiley-005:
 
Here's a pretty good comic that I never see mentioned. I don't know, I think he's pretty good at least.

But yeah, with the exception of that prolonged eye contact part I couldn't find the funny as well.
 
Soooo...

I've kind of changed my mind about Burnham's special.

Still not a fan of the constant musical theatrics, but I gotta say, this motherfucker really is creative.

I finished the show starting from the 40:00 mark and was pretty impressed with how absurd, random, and strangely introspective it became.

Maybe it was his feminine, quasi-gay persona that threw me off. Dude is flamboyant as fuck, and shockingly white.

But at least now I "get it."

And ya know what? I'm in a generous mood...

I give Bo Burnham's comedic performance:
