Cheers @kymbos!

There's tons of good, fresh standup comedy on the internet right now. You can find all sorts by different comedians. I was a bit disheartened upon checking in on the Standup channel to see the entirety of Louis C.K.'s most recent special uploaded in like, 15 different individual segments, almost all sifted by the same person. Glad to be able to introduce Sifters to a variety of awesome new comedians.

Women offended = men at fault.
I'm sure I've heard that one in much standup comedy.

Great vid but a little hazy on what started the war. There were the official reasons, and then the actual reasons. At this point history shows that the lead up and start of WWI was largely about geopolitics: 3rd world empires with their cheap resources and the rise of oil and technology. Even in that day and age, nations were quick to understand the importance and advantages of access to energy, especially oil, and other resources and raw materials. The only question was how the world and it's resources were to be divided.
it's pretty important to get this aspect right, because nothing has really changed, and geopolitical considerations dictate the foreign policy of most major countries, especially the US.


Yup, my favourite presentation of this information is:

It's 45 minutes long, but an excellent mix of standup comedy and facts.

*standup *comedy, if only as a topic.

*nochannel *standup *comedy *books *dark

This isn't exactly what I would call a Kid friendly sift.

I agree, he should be up there with Carlin and Pryor but he went too mainstream for some people I guess so he gets left out of it.
Sorta like how Louis CK points out that Seinfeld is a genius at comedy but most people see him for only his show and being an actor instead of a comic.

I don't think it's that; The Cosby Show was just like his standup comedy. Hell, quite a few of the shows were just acting out the stories he used to tell on stage. I think it's just that he wasn't the least bit edgy. He was hilarious but he was very "safe". No controversy, no swearing, no risky topics. I think he's just seen as a naive old man by most people who are my age or younger.

But he seems to be known more for his pudding commercials than any of his work now, so maybe you're right in that sense.
