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.

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.

Are you saying that white humor is more intelligent because whites are more intelligent?
