Now I'll have to go with their complete inability to recognise sarcasm.


Oh, and all of their stand-up comedians are not funny. That's not sarcasm.

He's doing his best troll routine. I'll grant this to him though, it's funnier than anything Eddie Izzard ever did.

What about Dennis Leary? He was a comedy genius! And Rich Hall! And Richard Pryor! And Reginald D Hunter!

Denis Leary was a hack. He ripped off all his early material from the all-time great Bill Hicks and found success on the strength of that stolen material.

Bill Hicks was the greatest, most provocative stand-up comedian of all time.

Richard Pryor is also on that all-star list but for different reasons.

Actually yes, I meant Bill Hicks but got 'em mixed up because of the overlap of material. I still liked Leary though. And Eddie Murphy in his early stand-up stuff too. And Steven Wright (think that's his name...). Don't know Soupy Sales, must look him up.

But on reflection, that's not really many considering the size of the country.

Soupy Sales was well before my time.

I'm curious to know who the decent English stand-up comedians are so I can check them out. Can't say I know of any besides Izzard...

I know Billy Connolly but he's Scottish.

Some of my favourites: Sean Lock, Lee Mack, the brilliant, unequalled Bill Bailey! The mental Ross Noble. Hmm, I thought there were more. Oh yes - Jack Dee. I'm sure there are more still...

edit - Then there's Lee Evans, whom I'm still undecided about but you've gotta admire his energy.
