Why don't IG comedians get sitcoms?

[NZA]

standup is the preferred farm system for tv work. if you are on IG, you need to transition to doing standup. there you will learn writing, upholding professional obligations, and get before a broad audience which will help you once you get to tv.

I have NO idea how somebody haven’t thrown a bag at Bigg Jah with all the fuccking apps out there today.

Big Jah could definitely do a season no problem.

Nate is one of my top 5, his crowd work is great, came from the IG skit era to podcast and his own comedy club and tours.

But are those new sitcoms or old?

Haven't really been any new sitcoms I can think of that have been successful

Unless you count bojack horseman or abbott elementary. Which are kinda sitcoms but not really

Sitcom means situation comedy. If it’s a mostly comedic show, then it’s a sitcom. Abbott elementary is definitely a sitcom

They’re trash nikka what more do you need? Thread is pointless tbh

More of a mockumentary to me, like the office

But I get what you mean. That's why put them in the kinda category. I guess it can be considered both, but I usually think of shows like family matters or fresh prince when I think sitcom

Filled in front of a live audience (or feature a laugh track), Ensemble cast, made for syndication, primarily comedy but also has serious moments meant to teach a lesson or raise awareness about current events, and usually recycles the same sets

Things can be mixed up to keep it fresh. Some elements might also be present that I forgot to mention, but that's just how I think about it

Because they are not funny.
It's easy to be funny for 30 seconds. Especially when all of their material comes from recycled memes and jokes from "Black Twitter"

Desi Banks for example. Hilarious on IG, but his standup is trash. Same goes for a lot of them.

No doubt. I tried watching his cuddle season show last month but stopped cause I wasn’t feeling it….


I tried again last night and ran all that shyt in one night. Dude knows how to create make great content.

It’s the long term vs short term thing like people have already said

The example that immediately came to my mind is. I might laugh at dc young fly on wild n out but I’m not tryna see the same dc young fly joke for a half hour. But saying that I would most definitely fw a show made by the 85 south crew tho. That could be fire
