Chris Rock might not be as funny as he once was but this cac Ari Shaffir has NEEEVERR been funny bruh

The best thing that he did was create that storytelling show on Comedy Central that helped my boy Ali Sadiq get some shine

Word. Then Comedy Central took it from him and gave it to a much funnier guy, Roy Woods. :mjlit:

Wooosh.

I remember Chris talking about hiring writers in that interview he had with Patrice O neal. But singers and comedians having writers don't take away from their talent imo.

Singers no, but for comedians it does to me. Same as with rappers. If cats like Shakespeare and Juvenal had ghostwriters I’d consider that lame too.

I agree with Ari that Judd Apatow can eat a bowl of dikks. fukk that dude.
But Ari, while popular with other comedians and a certain types of cac comedy lover, is not that funny.
Chris Rock has been funny for 30 something years.
I'm not gonna throw him away because he did one bad special or he may get other comic around him to get his creative shyt happening.
It's what Eddie does on the low to keep his comedy chops in shape without doing stand up He's always "hanging out" with the funniest mfs in the game.

The kirk to the fields
Here is Neal Brennan talking about the so-called “ghost writers”




Comedians give each other “tags” all the time. That’s a far cry from “ghost writing”. It’s basically helping someone edit a bit.

You know that premise and joke you have? Try it this way, Take out this line etc.

This is what Mooney used to do for Pryor and then everyone started talking about he wrote for Pryor.

Yeah, he really hasn't been funny since his 2004 special.

I Think I Love My Wife is his last funny movie. :yeshrug:

Rock was never funny: all that screaming and weird faces were always :unimpressed: to me. :yeshrug:

Plenty of GOATS had writers, the difference is that the GOATS use writers but they don't need writers.

GOAT of what? You can't be a GOAT comedian if you don't write your jokes. You're just an actor.
