Ricky Gervais on why evolution is bollocks:

Creationism.

I like anything from Stewart Lee on Political correctness:

 

[Melbourne Red]

Yeah, obviously, but in the intro he framed the bit as if he'd been convinced that evolution is bollocks and creationism is true.

He's clever like that.

Ah right.

I knew that...

Stewart Lee is unbelievably funny

 

[Mister Jeebus]

Stewart Lee is unbelievably funny

Or more accurately described, it's unbelievable that people find him funny. Each to their own I guess!

 

[Lance Uppercut]

Take your pick from Raw or Delirious.

This thread's been my introduction to him and my early impression is that he's the sort of dude I might enjoy exchanging political views with over a beer but not so much the sort that I'd part with actual money to see perform.

Genius.

He makes superb use of his accent.

Meh, too many to choose from. Watch both, if you haven't already.

He had/has a show on BBC, painful watching. Is politically astute, just not funny.

Just a random Richard Pryor clip, any of his stuff is brilliant.

 

[Count Duckula]

I don't find Stewart Lee amusing in any way. I don't dislike him, and I reckon I could have a good chat with him, but I don't find him funny.

 

[Makki]

Never seen the Gervais Creationism one, had me in stitches

Watch this:



Imo, that's some of the best standup in years.

 

[esmufc07]

Brilliant.

Richard Pryor - "The best thing about famous is the pussy. Had me some Playboy Bunny pussy one time. Went back to her apartment and this place was baaaaad, I mean, if ain't gettin' no pussy I'ma feck this couch!"

 

[RDCR07]

Apparently no one here has heard about Russell Peters.

 

[Pogue Mahone]

Watch this:

I'm with CD and MR. That's end of the pier stuff.

"there are no Scottish women but there are men in kilts, so that's ok"

Har har.

He's got some interesting ideas and I like the way his routine is structured but the one-liners peppered throughout are so lame and unfunny it all gets a bit painful to watch.

I don't think anything he's ever done has made me laugh or even smile. I've never understood why critics love him so much.
