TDS: The Hurt Talker

gorillaman says...

Sure, it's called enlightenment, it's called progress, it's called ... universal fucking brotherhood. These are bad things? OMG if you don't treat black people differently you're a racist.

Law is for homos and history's for homos. There's just people and as we've covered, some of them are a problem. You're really trivialising the real criminals when you start accusing anybody who uses words you don't like of racism.

This is probably the most offensive thing anybody's said in this thread so far, but sorry here it comes: you're just like Wanda Sykes.

>> ^NetRunner:
To you, society should be such that white people can walk up to black people they don't know, call them a nigger, and have both people know and understand the meaning and history of the term, and yet not get upset about it?
You're seriously bent.

Why aren't there more women on QI?

spoco2 says...

Ahh, but messenger just said 'successful' comedians. I wasn't vouching as to whether I find them funny (Wanda Sykes for instance I really don't like)... and on the attractiveness front I know many who do find Want attractive. So they were just examples.

For the most part I don't like any comedian who has 'a bit'... as in, they have a particular thing that they do their comedy about, be it that they're a woman, or of different ethnic decent, or are short or fat etc. etc. The truly great comedians just tell stories... and those stories are hilarious.

In their prime, Robin Williams and Billy Connolly were superb examples of this. Connolly especially with his ability to go off on a seemingly random set of tangents for a long, long time (making you laugh hysterically all the while), and yet coming back to his original point after it all, long after you might expect him to have forgotten where he started.

They both have lost their edge these days (probably that issue of once you have money and comfort and power you loose the connection with the 'working man' comedy that you began with... or something). I find Ross Noble to be one of the best at doing this style these days. (I had tickets to see him a couple of weeks back with my wife.... and then my son kinda got his arm broken on the trampoline thanks to me so we missed out... doh)

If a woman comedian can do the same, or can just tell jokes that span a wide gamut of topics. One of my favourites at present is Kitty Flanagan.

@spoco2

Different strokes I guess, but I don't find wanda sykes attractive at all, and I personally really don't find Sarah Silverman that funny.

It's not a sex thing for me, I just don't like their styles of comedy. I hate Elvira kurt, the lesbian bit has been played to death and it's quite stale now, I don't like the women who (like the video says) think they're a minority, but there are female comedians who DO make me laugh.

I watch just for laughs regularily (Montreal comedy festival, there's many sifts of comedians doing their just for laughs set on the sift) and Most of the women that are on it are (to me) moderately attractive if nothing else, AND funny. Mary Ellen Hooper, for example. I'd provide more but there aren't a lot of videos of it on youtube.

But, who knows. Maybe I'm the weird one.

>> ^messenger:

Every successful female comedian I can think of is a ditz (lack of mental power), a lesbian (no threat to women, not an option for men), or doesn't have sexual attractiveness: Ellen Degeneres, Roseanne Barr, Rosie O'Donnell, Joan Rivers. None of these women hold any sexual power over men, so women can safely laugh at them too.


Except... Sarah Silverman, Wanda Sykes, and a slew of ones I can think of here in Australia, but you wouldn't know over there...

I think it just comes down to them being funny... There really aren't anywhere near as many good female comedians as male, but also think about your circle of friends and the 'funny ones'... I bet they're almost always male.

And, as said on this clip, a lot of women do the shtick about 'being a woman'... compared to GOOD comedians who have no 'topic' to their comedy, but range over everything.

In fairness, these clips were edited together by the uploader, so "the flow" was a bit altered in that fashion. Have you seen the "racist dog" and "Larry likes big asses" clips? Those are some of the funniest with Wanda Sykes. You should check them out if you haven't done so already!


>> ^dvst8download:
Yep, still not funny. No amount of odd tuba music makes the "punchlines" any funnier. And the very thing that critics seem to love (OMFG ITS BASICALLY UNSCRIPTED! shats critically ) kills the flow. It desperately needs to be more scripted.
Yep, still unfunny.

Wanda Sykes on Karma

MilkmanDan says...

>> ^holymackerel013:
This reminds of a story I heard about from my Father when I was a kid. (probably just an urban legend though) The story goes as follows; These guys get drunk, somehow catch a rabbit and strap dynamite to it's back. They light the fuse and let it go. The rabbit runs under their truck to hide. Truck goes BOOM!


I'd heard something similar, but with guys throwing a stick of dynamite onto a frozen lake in order to break the ice and go fishing. Their trusty hunting dog then fetches their "stick" and runs under their car, kaboom, and the car sinks to the bottom of the lake.

Just did a quick snopes search, hoping to confirm that - unfortunately appears to be a legend / unconfirmed: http://www.snopes.com/critters/cruelty/dynamite.asp.

Wanda Sykes on Karma

MilkmanDan says...

Wanda Sykes is great, and that's an amusing anecdote. I somewhat agree that being overly cruel to any animal, including a pest like a mouse, should be avoided. And maybe throwing a live one into a burning fire counts as being overly cruel.

Which is why I will stick to using the nice old fashioned mouse traps that instantly kill the little bastards by bludgeoning them with a high-speed metal rod that dents their skull in half.

So it's "treason" now to question El Presidente?


And here I was thinking it was one women exercising her right to express an opinion. Funnily enough, Rush does that all that time.

I love how "free speech" suddenly falls off the bill of rights when you are criticising the wingnuts of the republican party... =)



Some clarification is in order for our socialist friends


Blah blah blah, nothing new here... =)
