Oh, and Ron White. I can't really stand the rest of those Blue Collar Comedy Tour guys, but Ron White is fucking hilarious.
I had to google his name just to see if it was the same guy.....and yup, "they call me tater salad" I saw that shit and it was hella funny. the rest of the blue collar comedy guys aren't funny at all and I refuse to watch them together but if its just Ron White then I'd tune in.


I think its all about finding something you relate to. David Spade is hilarious to me because he's so brutally sarcastic, he's the type of person that I would be like if I didn't give a shit about anyone's feelings.

To further add to CB's post, American mainstream white culture is a culture born of the assumption of plenty and the humor that it most often produces is either ironic, nihilistic, or petty. You could compare it to the European philosophers tendency towards atheism, nihilism, and materialism.

In the same way that Christianity thrived under persecution, Black culture has been allowed to more distinctly develop based on commonalities in the Black experience, and thus is more relatable by the average person since it is based on concrete examples and common sense.

Unless they are going "white people drive a car like this" "brotha drive a car like this". "White people walk like this" "brotha walk like this".

And @ the Simpsons reference CB, I think they were being sarcastic....implying that it wasnt true.

Any garbage ass comedian, yes.

Simplify george carlin, chris rock, or lewis black that way

Lisa Lampanelli has one 'shtick' and she repeats it a million times
If you think she's garbage then your opinion doesn't even matter at this point. She's a insult comic like the man who influenced her(Don Rickles). So to say she only talks about fucking black guys, is the same as saying all black comedians compare and contrast the differences between black and white people.
