Why are there less naturally funny comedians?

[Formerly Black Trash]

NONE of these social media “comedians” are funny. Would you pay to see any of them do stand up? You leaving your house and driving to the comedy club to see Druski or Wayne?

Tra Rags makes funny skits but he isn’t a comedian. That’s like calling Key and Peele comedians.

Im the biggest Druski hater
He not even in this convo

They've been on stage enough to know how to do the technical stuff but they are barely even comedians to me.

Theo is actually 'naturally funny', like he blurts out random funny shyt all the time but he's a shytty standup lol

I feel like you're just wondering why comics/comedians aren't nearly as cool as they used to seem which is a fair observation but some of it comes down to social media removing some of the mystery and reason to be personable.

Ppl are laughing at Theo, not with him

Bruh is the dumb kid in class

And the funny shyt is its probably just an act

I know people that hung out out with him before he got into stand up, like after Road Rules.



He's not the dumb kid but he plays up that trailer park aspect of his upbringing for his audience and a lot of them are too dumb to know when he's joking lol

Same reason you don't have actors with gravitas like Clint Eastwood, Denzel or Robert Deniro

Mfs is just watered down and infantilized

I wish Tmoneysofunny did more as far as social media.

Its crazy that Jay-Z was so prophetic

"40s the new 20."

I think being a great comedian is a combination of both personality and structure. A joke like Eddie Murphy's goonie googoo segment can't be written by a person who isn't naturally funny, but how he layered the joke had 100% technique, Chapelle's baby in the project joke too.

C'mon, you're just typing to type now.

I dont see what yall see

All I see is an old white man yelling at the air

He's talented funny, but not naturally funny

Kevin is naturally funny the switch up on homie is crazy. That FoxxHole interview is a classic lol.

this. destroyed the whole crew

dude is just more PC now since he has a lot more to lose.

nikka is still ignant as hell sometimes when it comes out and he's not trying to be safe.

I always thought that because Hollywood has become so small, it's like if you are not part of the in-crowd, or in other words, an industry plant, you are not going to get noticed even if you have the charisma.

Same or harder for broke ppl to get on in an increasingly brutal economy

Social media definitely don’t help. Standup comedians kinda have 1 hand tied behind their back telling jokes now

I think Chappelle said the same thing in one of his stand ups

Because social media made everyone think they’re funny but it takes YEARS for comedians to hone their craft.
