black comedians vs. white comedians

[doc_1982]

Can anybody link me to the "be a man" sketch from Russell Peters on youtube? It was one of the first clips i saw of him(and the funniest), amd i haven't been able to find it since.

Apparently it needs to be pointed out that the non-famous comedians on TV are not the funniest non-famous comedians out there.
Just because you've seen some boring white dude on a Comedy Central hodgepodge "special" doesn't mean he's supposed to be funny. Those people that get on TV are there because their schtick lends itself to television better than live. They look normal...they are hygeinicly well-kempt, they don't lean on a lot of racial jokes or sex jokes in their act, etc.

There are all kinds of boring white dudes and women on Comedy Central. Don't judge white comedians by this! I go to clubs all the time and there are hilarious comedians of all races. And trust me, in person, the white comedians are probably worse with the racial jokes than the blacks. And the crowd at these clubs is VERY mixed with whites, blacks, and hispanics. (Not a lot of Asians though).

Cliff notes: Don't judge white comics by the watered-down PG TV specials. Go to some clubs and watch some ugly, bald, white comics who tell racial/sex jokes just as well as the blacks on TV.

EDIT: I just remembered that everytime someone is announced as having "been on such and such TV special", I usually cringe and figure they are teh suck.

lol, there's really only one funny female comedian. i forgot her name though....she's the fat ugly italy chick who does a lot of racist jokes and is always on comedy central. the rest are [censored] horribly unfunny. for those who say margret chow is funny should just kill themselves.

but back to the original thread, yeah there are some seriously funny crackas, including gaffigan and dane cook. there are also a lot of really funny black dudes too--although i can't really understand what the majority of comedians shown on BET are actually saying. that said, jokes really don't get much funnier than this gem from chappelle: purple drink

Sarah Silverman is funny.

Def Comedy Jam is not.

I like english commedians, regardless of skin colour.

I don't generally find american stand up funny, but i probably laugh more at black american comedians, than white american comedians.

Though i think Rich Hall is great.
