He would get less shitty crowds if he would do less shitty jokes. No, being an asshole at a show is stupid and evil. No, he's not doing anything to prevent it as an entertainer.
I'm sure he's made fun of islam at some point, but I think you make fun of what you know. He is a jew so he can rip on that, and he;s from america so he knows christianity. He hasn't grown up with islam so there is less commentary on it I think.
I just saw David Cross in Chicago, and he was funny as hell. I do have one question though..does he ever criticize Islam? I know he always tears Christianity a new one, and Jews too, but I have never heard him say anything about Islam...can someone point me to a clip where he does?
Just an observation - maybe there is not enough time in the day to rip on all of them. Maybe he is scared of offending muslims (boo). I doubt he is worried about upsetting Buddhists.
Thank You, "Community" had a good joke last week about hippies going on a "vision quest"...and I've always had a problem with people starving themselves and taking drugs, then sitting there ad saying, "dammit, I scheduled a religious experience for today, c'mon, what's the hold-up"
The funniest. He's the only guy who's ever successfully stood up there and talked was still completely hilarious... more hilarious, in fact, than the traditional joke crackers.
Cross--an anglicized name, by the way--acts as if he's not Jewish by referring to "those poor Jews." I don't care if he calls himself an "atheist," and claims not to be Jewish. Judaism is a religion, true, but people of Jewish origin are also considered technically "a tribe." Does David think if this were Nazi Germany, he wouldn't be considered a Jew? I am atheist--but still Jewish. Too bad David Cross, no matter what his excuse, clearly feels some sort of ethnic shame.
The one thing about stand up that bothers me is that you hear the same routines so many times. But David Cross is great no matter what, even though I heard 90% of these jokes before.
I think he's just testing out new material. It's not uncommon for stand-ups who are working on a new act to take the stage with notes and just mess around with new stuff.
I love ob that cd he says That should be a bumber sticker I'm an ignorant mother fucker and I vote...... I about crashed my car, I was laughing and crying so hard too.
I think hes better than hicks in the funny department, he tends to stick more to the jokes as opposed to the philosophy. Hicks was awsome but he spent to much time trying to make the audience think instead of laugh.
Which is why he wasnt as good of a comedian as David Cross, Doug Stanhope George Carlin. If you devote your act to making people think, you destroy your ability to make them laugh which is why hicks was booed so many times. Comedians are Philosophers by nature but their profession is also to make people laugh, Hicks just spent to much time wiht the philosophy and not the comedy. I love bill hicks, i just think there are better comedians out there.
he was booed because people rejected his philosophy because it would make their lives meaningless. He's funny, not as funny as cross or oswalt i will admit, but still was funny
I never said he wasnt funny, i was just saying that he wasnt as good of a comedian in the sense that he wasnt very good at balancing philosophy and comedy. I think he was a great philosopher and a very funny when when we wanted to be, but not very at doing both at the same time.
i think you should look at his career chronologically, because he started out mostly comic, not brilliant but hilarious all the same. after about 1993 when he grew his beard and was diagnosed with cancer, he began to get more philosophical than comedic, and that is my favorite Hicks. so it was really just later that he was mostly philosopher/social critic Hicks, closer to death
Raiden: Just a comment on Stanhope. I love Doug, but I don't agree that he is more funny than commenting rather the other way around. He is just speaking truths. Love it though.
Since when was it written in stone that 'If you devote your act to making people think, you destroy your ability to make them laugh.'? I guess you Raiden the not so mighty wrote the book on comedy. You keep your lame comments to yourself and let the masses decide. Hicks was a legend because he dared to combine the two. Art of any kind should be made to make you think and evaluate; i don't want to watch some idiot make toilet jokes. Cross is cool but not in the same league as hicks. Get fucked.
@robcr8ton you absolute moron. this comment of yours is 3 years old so by now you must have been killed by someone who was disgusted at your idiocy. i sincerely wish harm upon you and everyone you care about.
