I'll start. Bill Hicks. Why? Too sanctimonious. Too "rock and roll". Too opinionated. Uneven material. And that mullet.
Your turn.
You disgust me richard
Bill was actually a massively underrated comedian. People seem to only really know his later stuff when he was vaguely well-known, when he was more concerned with spoken-word tours about politics and social satire (which I also love. I think he did it with passion and a vision, not because he was sanctimonious). His earlier stuff shows a brilliant sense of comic timing and very well written material. Saying he was too opinionated is ridiculous, you sound like a Dane Cook fan: "I don't wanna have to like, think when I watch comedy". Of course he had a mullet, he was a texan in the 80s.
Bill had a unique passion that was often unpleasant, sometimes infuriating, sometimes made him sound like a preachy, sad, twisted man, which he was. He was also possessed. Every time I listen to Rant in E Minor I feel like he was the only person in comedy who saw it's potential to try and make people laugh and disagree with him at the same time.
but anyway, here is some of his FUNNY stuff. The ending is strangely poetic and disgusting at the same time too
I think the most underrated comedian is Stewart Lee, a man I will be seeing on the 28th
This clip is still funny having seen it about 50 times. His style is very slow, he builds a joke over about 10 minutes so you need to pay attention but he is so funny.
"I remember one night at Muzdalifa with nothing but the sky overhead, I lay awake amid sleeping Muslim brothers and I learned that pilgrims from every land — every colour, and class, and rank; high officials and the beggar alike — all snored in the same language"
yes, but Van Morrisson had left by that point. Still good though.
I'm not looking for an argument on this subject, i believe we were all asked who we thought are over-rated? I just dont find the comedians I posted to be funny, or at least as funny as they are made out to be, sorry if that doesn't agree with your viewpoint.

We are all different individuals, so it's cool.
Took me a minute....Them
Get em a Body Bag Yeeeeeaaaaa!
Sweep the Leg Johnny.
oh i forgot one... mitch hedberg... stings together what most comedians would consider notes for a decent joke using absolutely zero transitions and he sounds like hes coked up the whole time... like an untalented, musicless tom waits
my favorites right now are george carlin (always), david cross, and brian posehn (the last 2 will be at 'roo so if youre going check em out)

Dane Cook
i don't see how that guy ever got a gig.
Agreed.
Not funny in any way.
"I remember one night at Muzdalifa with nothing but the sky overhead, I lay awake amid sleeping Muslim brothers and I learned that pilgrims from every land — every colour, and class, and rank; high officials and the beggar alike — all snored in the same language"
Bill Hicks was to "thinking comedy" what Ani diFranco is to modern poetry.
Agree to disagree I guess.
you bastard
"I remember one night at Muzdalifa with nothing but the sky overhead, I lay awake amid sleeping Muslim brothers and I learned that pilgrims from every land — every colour, and class, and rank; high officials and the beggar alike — all snored in the same language"
I've turned the channel a few times watching him...not funny to me at all
:eek:
I think he is hilarious.
And I give it up to FinsburyPC and Dunkman to introducing him to me. I had never heard of him until they posted about him here.
He is so damn funny.
I don't like the guy that does the news on SNL with Amy. He is just awful.
Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away
I'll give another vote to Andrew Dice Clay. How did that dumb fuck ever sell out Madison Square Garden?
