Word.

If you are old school, you might say that everything after Richard Pryor Live at the Sunset Strip is all downhill.

Is this a compliment?

Gallagher is the comedian I don't get. What's so funny about smashing fruit?

so maybe that's why some of you guys don't get it.

I'm 24 and I don't think he is funny. Maybe he caters to the lowest common denominator of college students?

I didn't laugh once. He's not that funny.

I'm not a college student and I find him hilarious. Maybe he's funny to people that had similar experiences as he's had.

I don't think he caters to the

crowd.

Dane is not funny. His material is generally weak and only appeals to college kids (i'm in college but still hate him). I saw him live as he performed at my university a few years ago and understood all the jokes but just thought it was unfunny. Saying words in strange ways, emphasizing different syllables, and making awkward noises doesn't equal funny to me anymore. I liked him when i was in high school but grew out of it. It's kind of the same way that Family Guy is by far the most popular college tv show. I loved it in high school when it was still on the air for the first time and grew out of that style of humor before it became popular again.

Mitch is hit or miss. His material isn't that strong and he got by a bit too much with his intentional awkwardness much like dane cook. However, his funny bits are generally more creative and witty than the obvious crudeness of Dane Cook.

He added hair gel to comedy and dumbed it down.

Dane Cook wasn't in "Waiting", your thinking Ryan Reynolds.

And he's hilarious.

Dane Cook was in the kitchen. He had a few lines in a few scenes.

Carrot Top is more talented.

I thought SF members were only uppity about clothes.

ryan renolyds and dane cook are the same people. The whole overly cocky frat guy attitude isn't funny. Nothing about either of them is funny. His little bit is mildly entertaining at first glance like Two Guys a Girl and a Pizza Place but was unfunny after seeing him a few times. The more you watch both, the more you realize they're unfunny.
