Best Stand Up Comedy Specials
« on: August 24, 2017, 05:37:48 PM »
Dudes what are some of your favorite standup comedy specials? I'm on Netflix right now feel like getting some laughs, any recommendations appreciated! Watched Sebastian Manascalco's special, that dude is damn funny especially if you're Italian. They have tons of legends on there like Prior and Kennison. Help a brother out!

Been a while since I used Netflix for comedy specials, but I remember Colin Quinn and Doug Stanhope's stuff being on there. They're always good.

Bill Burr, Dave chappelle "killing the softly", Rodney danger field . If I think of more I'll let you know. Jackass 3D was funny too.

There is a midget named Brad Miller (I think) who is actually pretty good.

While not a comedy "stand up" special, the Comedy Central Roast of Flavor Flav was an absolute piss. My wife heard me laughing my ass off on another floor of the house. I have been trying to find an uncensored version of it.

Lots of stand up comics these days use themselves as the butt of the joke so they don't offend anyone, most female stand ups are either fat or ugly so thats the topic of their act.

Brian Regan absolutely hilarious and yet somehow 100% clean.  Very very difficult to do.

Louis CK seems like a tool who just wants to say shocking things.  I see that too often, shock does not equal funny.

The end.

He is awesome.

Richard Prior is great, Eddie Murphy was great and Robert Schimmel was a riot.

But for my money, the all-time comedic king is Carlin.  Hands-down.  His HBO special from 1991 is probably the funniest thing I've ever seen.

Totally forgot Chris.  The way he ragged on black people was priceless.

Martin Lawrence was another funny dude.  And Don Tickles, for sheer roasting power :)

I'll look up Brian on your recommendation (thank you, BTW), but I don't agree about C.K. 

I *do* agree that shocking people is the easiest way to get attention ... The last few generations have heavily leaned on that bullshit, from Madonna's stupid antics in the early 90s to some stupid bitch like Kathy Griffin posing with Trump's decapitated head.  Even a hard like Genova can "shock" -- doesn't impress me in the least.

Anyway, I don't see Louis C.K. as thusly limited.  I'm curious to know why you think otherwise.  Perhaps my memory isn't what it was, but the most "shocking" thing I recall Louis saying was something about how his daughter was an annoying moron :D
