Comedy...stand-up and otherwise...

Ha! Yeah, Jerry’s never seen Always Sunny? Maybe he’s heard of a guy named Larry David who did a show that gave no fucks? That guy is lucky he didn’t get caught in a shitstorm when he was 38, dating a 17 year-old high school girl.

Remembering the time HIMYM made an anal sex joke to explain why one of its characters wasn't around when the actress went on maternity leave. Probably grandfathered in too.

Kinda sorta? If you don’t already know the joke, you couldn’t have any idea it’s about anal sex.

I didn’t know the joke until 15 seconds later when I googled it.

What's the difference between peanut butter and jam?

Jerry Seinfeld is a guest on Neal Brennan's podcast this week.

I always heard it as "what's the difference between jelly and jam?" I think of that joke during most of my grocery store visits.

mister d · Post by **mister d** » Thu May 02, 2024 11:03 am

Yeah, I knew that version but it was close enough to be obvious.

What about a joke involving chickpeas and garbanzo beans!? Can we even talk about that anymore!?

Not on network tv that apparently millions upon millions are relying on for their comedy these days.

So far, so good on this Tom Brady roast.

But Kim Kardashian just got up on stage.

Edit

Bill Belichick is actually killing it right now.

rass · Post by **rass** » Sun May 05, 2024 9:06 pm

Turned it on long enough to see that Tony dude (no idea who) absolutely murder everyone. So I turned it off because it’s gotta be hard to top that.

Zero jokes about him kissing his kid. Disappointing.

I'm about halfway through and Edelman and others making Aaron Hernandez jokes seems really fucked up. Anything to help your post playing days celebrity career I guess.

Did anyone bring up that his supermodel, higher earning wife divorced him and took his kids because he wanted to play on a 8-9 also-ran instead of being with her and their kids? Because if not, that wasn't a roast.

wlu_lax6 · Post by **wlu_lax6** » Mon May 06, 2024 12:19 pm

I think this shows why Comedy Central was smart to edit these and not run them live. Not bad but just LONG and sending Hart and Ross to the crowd to allow for changes created some less than funny. Also editing down would have helped Kevin Hart hosting (and protected Kraft from a public massage joke that Brady had to step in on).

sancarlos · Post by **sancarlos** » Mon May 06, 2024 12:57 pm

Why does Kraft have to be protected from a public massage joke?

I think Kevin Hart did in his opening monologue.

Don't know but Brady thought so. He got up from his seat, interrupted Jeff Ross mid set.

See, I thought that was a joke. Considering Edelman opened his set with a Kraft funeral joke, I figured everything was fine.

Now Affleck's set was a total abomination and he should be dragged for it.

Tom Brady now says he regrets roast because of his kids. Dolt.

If you want a nice recovery from the Brady comedy abortion, watch Kevin Hart's Twain award. Genuinely funny people with lots of feel good moments. Who would of thunk that Chris Rock is funnier on stage than Gronk? And Eddie Murphy...

Sure the Kennedy Center patrons and VIPs were excited about the profanity. Guess the reason it was on Netflix and not PBS like most of the Twain ceremonies past. Had some good moments.

Yes, but having the federally-funded Kennedy Center as the location is also part.

Great story about stand-up Zak Toscani, who's been doing house shows...for $800-$1200 he'll come to your house and do stand-up for you and your friends.

The Concierge Comedian

In August 2022, Zak Toscani was in the middle of performing a stand-up show in a fan’s Boulder, Colorado, backyard when, suddenly, an audience member’s hyperactive dog began running laps around the house like it had been possessed. At first, it was just a minor distraction, but then Toscani and the audience of 30 to 40 people heard a squeak from the opposite side of the house. The next time the dog reappeared, it presented everyone with the graphic remains of the rabbit it had been chasing. Toscani learned a valuable lesson that day about these DIY shows: At any time, he might get upstaged by a rabbit carcass. Reflecting back on that show now, he remembers thinking, How do I follow death?

A little taste of his comedy...

I missed this when you first posted... Zak is a regular on All Things Fantasy and I really like him. He did a runner on Twitter about someone stealing someone else's lunch that is absolutely hilarious.

New Adam Sandler (Love You) is not good. Proves that standup is very hard and the case for when you figure out how to make movies you never go back to standup (i.e. Eddie Murphy).
