Herc Loves The Finale of the Best Reality Show Ever!! COMEDIANS OF COMEDY 1.6!!
SPOILER ALERT !!
I am – Hercules!!
Why is the “Comedians of Comedy” better than every other reality show ever made? Because everybody enjoys a good reality-show argument. And nobody has more entertaining reality-show arguments than a minibus full of world-class comedians.
Tonight? I swear to you, laugh-out-loud hilarity from beginning to end. If you don’t laugh tonight, there may not be any laughter left in you.
Our sleep-deprived heroes – Patton Oswalt, Brian Poesehn, Maria Bamford and Zack Galifienakis – grow giddy as they begin the last leg of their tour, journeying from Boston to Martha’s Vineyard!!
Brian chastises Maria for her lateness and references the length of his scrotum.
Maria, never funnier, explains that breadloaf-size pads are what’s preventing women’s ascension in corporate America.
Patton mocks the deejays at WMVY-FM, and proves himself a bigger “Jaws” nerd than AICN’s own Quinty McSeaman.
Patton and Brian, in an effort to drum up attendance, try to manufacture a Boston-Martha's Vineyard rivalry. “They said something about, ‘You don’t know how to party’?” remembers Brian.
Zach shares his theories on why Patton and Brian are arrested in a state of nerdocity.
Brian shares the moment in the fourth grade when his nerdliness turned against him, and relates a conversation with his doctor during his prostate examination.
Patton tells a hilarious tale of flying in the wake of 9/11.
Zack, to great effect, mocks his elderly audience. And, in one of the funniest bits of the whole series, Patton reveals what in Vegas is “catnip to old people.”
Finally, as a low-budget homage perhaps to “Jackass: The Movie,” we are offered a glimpse of the Comedians of Comedy in the year 2040 A.D.
11 p.m. Friday. Comedy Central.

As is Brian. I enjoyed Maria and Zach in this as well, but the nerde boys had me at "Comic Day."

Call it what it is, a damn good show following four funny comics. When you say reality all I can think of is Joe Rogan having models eat horse rectum while Tyra Banks tells them to get "fierce" and Trump's hairpiece fires them all.

really, i do.

but it sure doesn't sound like it tops the early episode of "The Surreal Life" where they had to go camping, and all the sudden they heard a coyote howling and Emmanuel Lewis immediately jumped up and ran into the tent and came out with a rolled up towel which he unrolled to reveal a huge hunting knife, explaining that he's not stupid, he knows the coyotes are gonna go after the weakest prey and that's gonna be him.

Besides the female, the rest of Comedians are bloody horrible. They are the worst about geekdom in general, and leave a brother feeling about as uncomfortable as wearing a pair of underoos. I am glad that it's over, but nowhere near as relieved as I was after watching their horrible movie.

The difference between a reality show and a documentry
by twitchinmonkey
A documentry is a camera following a person while they are doing things they normally do. A reality show is people doing things they wouldn't do if the camera wasn't there.
Comediens of Comedy is a Documentry -

this "show" is a freaking tour documentary. i don't know if herc thinks he will get more people to watch it by calling it a reality show, but i wish he wouldn't, it's annoying. besides, patton & brian are funny, but not because of their jokes. they're funny in the "i know guys just like them" way. maria and zach have actual talent. brian & patton make you remember, maria & zach make you think. you laugh at brian & patton, you laugh because of maria & zach.

I finally started watching this mess - had it on DVR. Wow. Comedy is not funny anymore. I think I'm seeing a connection here; Don't criticize SNL, 'cause it's still genius - ComediansOComedy is funny. The connection? Herc's new meds are working too well. That shite's not funny, mate. Apparently, I'm out of giggles, harumphs, snerks, chuckles, and that quick burst of air that comes out of your nose that some people think was the start of a laugh but was actually a reflexive - defensive measure of your body to keep you from saying 'assclown'. Self important standup comedy is all there is anymore, and it isn't funny. I think I know what killed Richard Pryor now. Every time a bell rings, an angel gets his wings. And every time one of these comedians receives a check in the mail for their 'routine', laughter - real laughter - dies somewhere. It all began with Kinison. Cosby cashed a fat one that week and killed Sam's ass in the most brutal way possible. In a world this full of f'ed up nonsense, it's sad that funny is so hard to find.

Did we really need a headline telling us that Herc loved the finale of this mildly amusing show? Would Herc think Patton was funny if he didn't read comic books or visit this site?
-
No. No he is not. He's a comic book nerd who tells comic book nerd jokes. He's about as funny as those occasional comic versions of "What If?" with lame bits like "What if Black Bolt were the front man for a rock band?" and "What if Banner's pants ripped when he changed into the Hulk?" So I guess if you consider that sort of thing genius comedy, then Patton is your man. I think I'll stick with folks like Pryor and Izzard.
-
That would be insane
-
Not you.
-
Really, I need to know because I might need to rent him out for a weekend to pimp out my new film. I don't have NBC money but I might be able to make it woth his while. How's ten dollars to start?
-
but only if you're a c to a list talent and he thinks he can make himself look cool by being your drooling adoring fan.

...falls under the "When alive nobody cared, when dead they're all of a sudden legendary" category (See Kurt Cobain). The 4 comedians are funny, but if you try to compare them to Pryor or Carlin you're just being stupid. That's like saying, "Kobe Bryant and Allen Iverson suck because they aren't Michael Jordan."
-
really?
-
People may have liked Nirvana, but upon his death Cobain was labeled a genius. Don't think he was known as a genius when he was alive.
-
The primary reason Cobain killed himself was because he couldn't handle the label "Voice of His Generation." So, yeah, he was considered a genius while he was alive.
-
It was clear from the series and the original special that he's so far in denial he's sitting on a barge with Cleopatra in Egypt. Otherwise, the show was fun to watch because I always love behind-the-scenes stuff.

But Comedians of Comedy isn't trying to be a laugh riot all the time. Behind the scenes, comedians are NOT funny all the time. That's why this worked... it showed what life is really like on the road. Dysfunctional, cramped, killing time by telling bad, goofy, scatalogical jokes to each other and hitting every comic book shop and whorish radio program in each new town. Comparing behind the scenes to an actual on stage performance by Carlin, Hedberg or Kinison is just ridiculous. Just because "Comedians" is in the title doesn't mean it has to be a laugh a minute. If you want that, catch Patton or Brian live and you'll get that. They really are hilarious in a live show. Here you only saw snippets. If they aren't your comedic cup of tea, fine. And if it helps you to piss on everything you don't like, then I hope your grandma hid the nutbread from you over Christmas.
-
You're Patton Oswalt, aren't you?
-
... that's another one down. Kitty Carlisle?

You know, a good friend once said to me in regards to a very similar subject, "If it has a stupid name, uh... People might notice." Now, I don't know if he had a point there. But I was thinking, you know. Yeah?
