He's just another in the long line of white male comedians who think being crass or offensive is funny

He's just not funny

Listen to The Ricky Gervais Show that he recorded back when he was working at a tinpot radio station with Stephen Merchant and Karl Pilkington. These are comedy gold.

I never said that.

Oh, okay, I pick up what you meant but no? There is a long list of white male comedians that rely on offensive shit to be "funny"

It's not "white men are unfunny" but that this lineage of comedians that are white and male and follow this blueprint are not isolated

He's not one of them.
Half of his most recent standup was about his kids, and none of it was offensive. It was more about how kids tend to be selfish jerks.

My favorite standup comedian is Mitch Hedberg, also like some of Demitri Martin's material (If I in particular)

Not a big standup comic person overall though

I'm torn on the GG thing

Because while it's funny, a lot of the jokes feel a bit hollow

Like it's a guy who's incredibly wealthy, successful, with several hit projects, who's also kind of out of touch, criticizing other people for being incredibly wealthy, successful, with several hit projects, and for being kind of out of touch.

Hedberg is funny. But his whole lineup is basically one liners.

Yes, because as we all know, only white male comedians think being crass or offensive is funny.

I don't love his stand-up but his David Brent character is hilarious. He might have lost some steam but in his prime he was certainly a very funny man

....the implication in this post that being crass and offensive is race specific just makes you seem like you only know white comedians. Which is the opposite of what you were probably trying go achieve.

I feel like comedy is where it's not hard to find whatever demograph you're looking for. Unless it's a demograph that just isn't very present in America in general
