How funny is Louis C.K. compared to other stand up comics?

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:The examples you’ve given are a seriously far cry from the style of Louis CK. You’re listing only black comics whose material draws heavily from racial issues and pop culture. Louis CK doesn’t focus as much on that other than he’s an aging white man with a kid. So, that’s racial. I guess? It’s apples and oranges in terms of topics and style. Humor is subjective, instead of asking us why not go to Hulu and watch his new show Louie for yourself and form your own opinion? I think he’s hilarious, and has in the past had some of his funnier stuff ripped off by other comics. For example, Dane Cook ripped off a bit of his from years ago almost word for word – you can find proof enough online with some googling of their names. :P Go check him out, he’s fairly popular. And like I said, he’s hilarious to me – but none of the comics you listed entertain me for more than a minute or so before I’m begging for someone to change the channel or kill me. Louis CK, Mitch Hedburg FTW.
