doug stanhope is one of my favourite comedians. it's become popular among 20-something cretins and tryhards to criticize mainstream white male comedy as out of touch with the pepsi generation. and maybe that's true, hell, how would i know? there's probably palestinian youth telling great jokes in gaza and i'm ignoring it and watching reruns of cocaine-addled self-destroyer robin williams.

doug stanhope is a "natural". he understands how to craft a funny thought from top to bottom. he's rude, he's crude, he's got an attiude. his particular material is almost all garbage. it's like if he were doing improv and everyone in the audience that was shouting out stuff were ron paul fans. but that's not the point, he's got great rhythm. he dissects our modern society and leaves us all a little richer.

go buy all his albums on iTunes, the apple media portal.

comedy is interesting to me at least because it is one of the cruellest jobs in the world and yet the thinnest skinned introvert people compose its primary citizenry. masochism is a part of comedy, i am convinced

stand up comics are pretty cool in my experience. they like to drink a lot, pretend they aren't trying to be funny with everything they say in any conversation with anyone, and backstab each other but not you because they want you to follow them on twitter. remember that Keven was one of the best posters here until i hurt his feelings and he moved to New York in response.
