Sure some people get offended by some people but if you try to see it in the right perspective it is all fun.

Roy "chubby"  Brown....you fat b*****

[alacrity]

Lived in Great Britain for a while: - Dave Allen.

Also liked Bernard Manning, Les Dawson and the fatter Ronnie.

Monty Python trumped all.

Jack Dee, Tim Vine.

He's dead and gone now, Rodney Dangerfield.  I don't think he had much popularity outside the US.

Amazing how many years he was able to keep going with "I don't get no respect...."

Jack Dee’s droll sense of humour I find particularly funny.

 

Frank Skinner is someone I didn’t really care for when he teamed up with David Baddiel but on his own he is terrific !! His stand up is hilarious but does get very grafic sexually ( if that’s not your bag ).

His autobiography is a great read .

 

Peter Kay is an obvious favourite ( as I’m a Brit )

 

Here’s some names to check out if you want some new laughs :

Simon Amstell ( very likeable gay comic British)

Gary Delaney ( excellent one liners British )

Stewart Francis ( very funny Canadian )

Anthony Jeselnik (American comic )

Jimmy Carr ( very controversial Brit comic )

 

 

Gary Delaney

 

 

Stewart Francis

 

[worgeordie]

The big yin, Billy Connolly ,Scottish comedian  and The little waster  Bobby Thompson,NE comedian now deceased, 

if your American you would not understand either of them.

 

I am afraid there are very few US comedians I like,they shout a lot,and think that's funny.

When I was a kid it was all Jasper Carrot and Freddie Starr , plus all the old timers in the Wheeltappers and Shunters Social Club.

But one who I did see many times live and had me almost peeing my pants on several occasions was Mike Harding .

 

Sadly, for me , none of these have stood the test of time and I cannot watch them anymore ( after searching on YouTube ) as they are now very cringeworthy, especially Freddie Starr RIP .

 

Of course if you are not a Brit then this post is totally meaningless [emoji51] and for this I apologise.

 

To make amends here is one of my all time favourites. ( another Brit I’m afraid [emoji45])

 

Frank Skinner

 

 

[Puchaiyank]

Nancy Pelowski, Jerry Nadler, Adam Schiff and last but not least Joe Biden...????

I can't come up with a favorite but I recommend the web series by Jerry Seinfeld called Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee.

Of course Seinfeld is one of the greats and you get to see these talented people in a different light. There is something quite interesting about comedians when they interact with each other.

I've found Gabriel (fluffy) Inglesias to be funny.....

Taking his life's every day encounters along the way & putting a hilarious spin on them that relates to most of us....

Sadly, Spitting Images has been surpassed by real life, and so many of our politicians are beyond ridicule and  caricature

Spitting Image was groundbreaking stuff !!, no one, or nothing, was sacred with the government and the royal family usually taking the brunt of the jokes.

For those not born in the US of E ( united states of England ) here’s a little taster .

They were rude and offensive, but within the bounds of ribald lampoonery.  With the buffoons that we have in power, tasteless obscenity would amount to flattery.  Most political criticism I read on Faecebook Iwhich is shitbytheway) has to resort to inventing new insults and vulgarity.

The politicians we had back then were larger than life characters, Thatcher, Hattersley and even John Major was was easy to lampoon due to his worldbeating dullness !!
UK politicians recently have been lifeless, humourless, intelligenceless [sic] entities not worthy of lampooning.
We need a Donald !!, and with Boris on the horizon I think Spitting Image could return with an infinite amount of material !!

Anyhoo, back on topic:

Here’s an American comic that I came across via the comedy channel and Tosh.O.

Daniel Tosh

[lemonjelly]

Present: I like Mickey Flanagan, puts a laugh on domestic situations without being too OTT. 

Past: Richard Pryor and the Big Yin.

Don't read comics now, but Superman was a favourite when I did.

I think you meant comedian.

Must be an American thing.

I watched an episode of Seinfeld once but it was so boring I went away to look at grass growing.

British humour though- the Goons, Monty Python and Father Ted still get me going, decades later ( Fr Ted is of course Irish humour, but similar to British ).

My favourite comics are Thailand's "democratic" military junta, a laugh a minute!

Only surpassed by most of todays British parliamentarians or the House of Lords.

Been watching Jim Gaffigan, very funny in my book.

 

[Andrew Dwyer]

This guy has some original material, but maybe his delivery needs a little tweaking, sometimes the “ deadpan “ approach is not always great.

[starky]

Patrice O'neal  (RIP) Bill Burr, Chris D'elia. Honestly there's heaps but those 3 are amongst my favourites. Most of my thai time is spent on youtube and Netflix watching stand up
