Comedians are so painfully unfunny on twitter. Even those really bad twitter accounts with 100k followers that post Obvious Jokes are funnier than most comedians on twitter. Except Colin Quinn, whose twitter is a great work of irony.

many of these guys are funny in a conversational or social setting and then one of their stand up specials pops up on netflix and I get five or ten minutes into it. Maybe it's because on radio shows or podcasts they're 'talking shop' with other comedians whereas their standup is precicely timed and polished and aimed at a very broad audience?

comedians are pretty funny on podcasts because when they talk about themselves you realize most of them are really really hosed up, grotesque people

You know what's not hilarious, and this just occured to me? It just struck me, like in a joking way, that reading a Haverchuck post is like the opposite of experieincing comedy, you know? I'm not saying reading a haverchuck post is EXACTLY the same as attending a great aunts funeral, I'm not saying that. But it's extreamly loving close

it's helpful to observe how good a successful stand up comedian is at making deeply rehearsed actions and words seem casual and spontaneous because that's actually a really useful life skill

comedians are like musical acts in that one good album or a couple hits is enough to set them up with a career for life

most of them have one defining stand up special and the rest are ok or garbage. Netflix has all the garbage.

Walking The Room is the best podcast because on it the hosts will often talk about how standup is a lovely career but they do it anyway.
