black comedians vs. white comedians
 

Im not neither white nor black. So I guess you could say im very objective in this topic. But I find average black comedians to be 10 times more hilarious than so called good white comedians. i just got done watching the newest episode of HBO's def comedy jam and was in tears. what gives?

Re: black comedians vs. white comedians
 

Maybe you like racial jokes. "White folk drive like dis, black folk drive like dis. White folk dance like dis, black folk dance like dis."

Re: black comedians vs. white comedians
 

ill admit blacks are generally allowed to cross the racial lines much more liberally. that surely adds to their humor. but also blacks are just more funny in their delivery and style imho.

Re: black comedians vs. white comedians
 

I prefer black comedians because they're not jewish.

Are you speaking in terms of stand-up only?

Or comedians in general?

There's a lot of crappy ones and a lot of good ones from both races, but I think I also agree with this statement.

Re: black comedians vs. white comedians
 

In general, I think black comedians tend to talk about being black too much

We get it, black people are different than white people

Re: black comedians vs. white comedians
 

In general, black people talk about genitals and sex too much and use too many swear words in their delivery. In general, I think white comedians dont do enough of this.

Re: black comedians vs. white comedians
 

Dave Chappelle is really the only black comedian I could watch for an extended period of time and not want to throw up.

This probably has something to do with his intelligence level.

Re: black comedians vs. white comedians
 

Complete opposite for me. I find most black comedians to be terrible. The subject matter frequently misses me and I'd much prefer [censored] I can somewhat relate to. I like Seinfeld a lot.

I can't remember the name, but I saw some black comedian, as well as Aries Spears, at a comedy show/concert not long ago and they were both absolutely hilarious.

Re: black comedians vs. white comedians
 

I think there are great, average, and crappy comedians of all races, sexes, etc. Hard to generalize.

My three personal favorites.

well im actually indian-american (parents from india).

I can't relate at all to white comedians. I laugh my ass off at blacks.

Robbins Williams is boring and slow. Dane is weak. I'll admit I do laugh at Jimmy Kimmel. I went and saw Norm Mcdonald and he was OK.

I agree it is totally different humor. White humor is usually more intelligent. But black humor is just downright "off the hook" funny.

I can't say that I'm objective between deaf and blind comedians, and then say that the deaf one wasn't funny because I couldn't understand her sign language, but the jokes that blind guy told were hilarious!

I think he is extremely funny. Check out some of his other stuff. He is usually a bit more edgy than the appearance you watched.

for non-black-or-white, what about Sacha Cohen AKA Ali G AKA Borat? I'll admit I'm tired of Ali G, but Borat looks absolutely hilarious. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0443453/

I'm not trying to "call you on it" or anything, but wanted to point out that there's some inherent bias in your opinion the second you admit to not being able to relate to one of the sides in question.

Better luck at poker.
