@5tran9eMCMLXXII you forgot larry david

[5tran9eMCMLXXII]

it's unfair to compare jimmy fallon to stephen merchant. jimmy fallon in no way represents american comedy. if you want proof there's matt groening, david cross, tina fey, patton oswalt, david sedaris, conan o'brien, aziz ansari, andy samberg...

[Neal432]

@5tran9eMCMLXXII you forgot larry david

[shanustheanus]

@5tran9eMCMLXXII first problem there. how can these totally different comedians who's humor is different on a massive scale all represent American Comedy. All you have done is pick the ones you think are most popular and put the American stamp on them. Which Ironically is the most American thing to do. second It is completely fair to compare these two comedians as comedians because they are...comedians. And third and perhaps most importantly why am i replying to a comment made 5 months ago?

[5tran9eMCMLXXII]

@shanustheanus first - what you've said seems like a perfectly appropriate reason to pick disparate comedians as examples of u.s. comedy talent. i didn't name people i think are the most popular, or i would have listed, i dunno, seinfeld or something. i think people would have missed the point if i'd mentioned jim norton. second, i only meant it was "unfair" to fallon to be compared to merchant because merchant is clearly more talented. third, i dunno -- mind-altering substances?

[shanustheanus]

@5tran9eMCMLXXII shall only answer the most important issue. Id didn't reply to an okd comment because of drugs, merely to see if i was able to be a youtube ass that always pester people for reasons that don't concern them and are utterly pointless...did I manage it? I kind of hope I did then I know its easy to be a...for lack of a better word...cunt.

[5tran9eMCMLXXII]

@shanustheanus but i thought you were an anus? make up your mind

[shanustheanus]

@5tran9eMCMLXXII ahh but im an anus disguised as a cunt, by being a dick...see?

[MadSkeelz16]

@5tran9eMCMLXXII This conversation going on between you two seems kind long so I'm gonna keep my opinions as simple as I can, You're wrong !!

[pythonfan001]

i love how jimmy has become the "host" of SNL, rather than just a cast member

[skaseisback]

it seems to me like stephen merchant doesnt find that hankey gag even remotely funny. how awkward

[anileda1116]

soo right... steve expected something more...

[HarryPartridge]

It was a gag?

[mcchick49]

wow i know hes "old enough" to swear but i have never heard him say the F bomb before :S--i wasnt expecting it, it was kinda hot lol

[raaze]

wtf is Jimmy Fallon doing drinking coke?

[SopranosFan1723]

you're bit of a retard aren't you mate? You fuck twirl.

[raaze]

Guess you haven't seen Fallon dance for Pepsi have you? Fuck twirl.

[SopranosFan1723]

Shave my ass and put the hair in a pie and have a snack for yourself, Cunt Rag. We all know how much you love ass hair pie. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.

[SopranosFan1723]

Well I clicked your profile and I wouldn't have called you a Cunt Rag if I knew you were a chick. So you can take that one away...but I'll leave the ass hair pie diss in the mix. You are a serious tard for this Pepsi remark, that's just how I feel!!!

[raaze]

lol, if you knew i was a chick what would call me?

[thehandmedownman]

Its called sponsorship with product placement.

[jamesflory]

I think the comment is about the fact that Mr. Fallon has appeared in Pepsi adverts and yet he is seen here drinking a Coke.

[CrazyCoolMedallions]

i love jimmy fallon, he's so funny!

[jonletter]

compared to Merchant hes nothing.

[eyemoeba]

there are many adjectives eye would use to describe stephen merchant. very tall would be one. gorgeous would not make the list. hilarious would.

[AshDunderHead84]

I am American & I believe Jimmy Fallon is pure shit, he's never funny. Stephen Merchant is all you could ever want...and more! He is absolutely brilliant in everything that he does & not to mention gorgeous too!

[Juggler1711]

@AshDunderHead84 haha i agree but gorgeous? i think even he would disagree

[ohmarrow]

a candid Jimmy Fallon backstage conversation is representative of 'American Comedy'. absolutely.

[chympmunck]

i love jimmy fallon! funny!

[Cosmos120]

Apologies for grouping all American's together BTW. I just read what i wrote and it came across so small mindedly. Who I actually was more refering to is Fallon, Dane Cook... Not the average American. I love Matt and Trey just as much as the next comedy enthusiast!

[Cosmos120]

American's are always offering a gag, it's like they can't just sit still and chill out - they always have to be forcing a laugh out of someone.

Britons are just more subtley funny which sometimes comes out as a bit pretentious - If you can be naturally funny then that is the makings of a good comic.

You can see Fallon is playing the joker and Merchant is acting a little confused.

[AlexSibley01]

Coca-Cola at an Amnesty gig? "the ironing is delicious"

[utterlyplanetarium]

I KNOW! Bloody coca cola, just because they've got good PR, they can get away with murder. And I mean that quite, quite literally.

[real2m]

Steven Merchant is one of the funniest men alive, Jimmy Fallen is shit, american comedy is all pretty shit.

[prettyvibe]

ahh no i like Fallon he's cute. I thought his sketch with barry from eastenders was really funny.. 'I am thunder.. i am BLAINE!' haha, hilarious!

[whatdoyouwantfool]

cant say i find fallon all that amusing. but stephen merchant is a hilarious guy! he saved the 2nd series of extras!

[scatterbrainedfloozy]

awww, I've got a crush on Steve Merchant.

[asspancakes]

jimmy fallon is not funny

[keirisbeach]

Jimmy is a cunt, Merchant is a legend

[cosmicflavah]

jimmy is awesome.

[wellplastic]

i love these guys, and of course the cause is very worthwhile...but what's with the REALLY REALLY SUBTLE product placement?

[mindyj77]

BEAUTIFUL! two of my all-time favorite men! stephen merchant is always hilarious commenting on what the other people (ricky, karl, and here jimmy) are doing. love it!
