She tries too hard. She's just not funny.
No. No one can.
good question
unfortunately WE never decide those things...
I aint never seen a sister from SNL blow like that besides the mixed chick who funny as HELL.
Wanda Sykes had her moment
I think the head writer on the Seth Meyers show could be the one
but they been a more than FEW really smart beautiful funny sisters in the spot but its ALWAYS brief.
Sad Sommore never REALLY got to pop

Comedy is very subjective. I’m from the Def Comedy Jam and Comic View era of black comedy where snapping and talking shit was a big thing, but we did have some good story tellers.
Eddie Murphy was able to pull of both sight funny and tape funny. Pryor as well (the best).
Redd Foxx was joke funny. If you wasn’t listening, then you miss it.
Moms Mably was minstrel show funny, which I am unable to understand her comedy from the 30s and 40s. Listening to her stuff from way back when is kind of boring.
Hart and Haddish are silly. Good for today’s age, but not my cup of tea.
That being said, we have to let her be. She’s found her lane. It works for her. She not comparable to any greats because live stand up today is almost like heavy weight boxing. There is a shortage of talent.
Lastly, the funniest people I know are not even celebrity comedians. They regular everyday non-status people. BGOL is funnier than most comedians today. Lol.
This. We're always adding stipulations to HOW we're supposed to wear our blackness.
And those stipulations causes us to be limited as a HUMAN.
That’s why I have unsubscribed to the the idea of BEING black. We should just be because if we keep listening to all these stipulations, were not going to be able to explore our potential.
This is something I have been dealing with the last 2 to 3 years. I have torn down MY mythology of what it means to be black because I never felt so limited and worried on how I would be judged by those who look like me.
I want us to be ourselves and find whatever path is best without having to worry about those constant-goalpost moving stipulations.
I feel like EVERYBODY knows this...
yet it is STILL an issue of debate.
I wonder if you can tell anything ABOUT a person by WHAT style of comedy they enjoy?
damn..
comedy IS subjective for REAL!!!!
He funny...he aint making me spit out my coffee but he is funny and smart

What's interesting...
from my QUICK search...people are surprised that the way he looks?
He calls out white men all the time in his comedy
off that...I like him already!
I don't find Amber to be funny either...just a tad goofy to me. It's good that she can write but her performances are blah.
exactly...
And lets be FAIR and HONEST
white OR Black
its MUCH tougher for female comedians.
damn..

He funny...he aint making me spit out my coffee but he is funny and smart
he said he was on a castle tour in europe and complained that it didn't have any wi-fi
he said it was the whitest he ever was in some old white shit complaining about some new white shit.
I find female comedians have to try too hard. Seems unnatural at times. All the females that make me laugh really never intends to be funny. They just are.l and they are really good story tellers, not jokesters.
IMO Eddie's buckwheat was satire. In the vein of Chappelle's ******* skit or black KKK skit.
And yes C Owens is also cooning. It come in different flavors. Clearly.
You done post her at least 5 times this thread. I know you got a name.
And dont post that Big Show gif either...
For now and really Hollywood only caters to what they think we will accept,buy into and push.Granted no one I know nor no one this board has said that they find her funny so it might just be a matter of time for her,who knows.
All I'm saying is that I can't hate on her totally because just about every comedian from the 90's still here still doing their thing and that has a name in Hollywood plays into one stereotype or another;Katt is a small pimp,Kevin is a small timid black guy who's everyone's friend aka not a threat,Tracy is the fool who's been special all his life aka a product of special education,Dave smart opinionated black guy who white people think might be a republican...sike bitches he's everything but...ect.We like all for every reason or not for whatever reason.
I saw the Tylor Perry movie she did and not because I wanted too but it was ok but trust when I tell you no one walked out of there overly joyed after watching her shtick of comedy in that film.
Lucille Ball Carol Burnett to me were the GREATEST male or female
Moms Mabley and later Aunt Esther made me laugh
even Joan Rivers to me is in the all time category JUST as a trailblazer alone.
But much like in hip hop?
You gotta be REAL good for a woman to make me laugh.
Even that will and Grace chick who was really a Lucy clone WAS funny.
To Sommore should have have been bigger
I don't think there has EVER been a female equivalent to Eddie Murphy.
and I make a distinction cause to me that is why Eddie was one of the all time greats on screen and on stage and in skits and in improv and even singing?
He ALWAYS KILLED
cause there is TV funny, movie funny, stand up funny, sit com funny, internet funny, SNL / skit funny, political smart funny
Living Single they were ALL funny ...VERY VERY funny. But that is TV funny
you get what I'm saying?
There are moments and I am being SERIOUS here
that Pam and Martin reached modern Laurel and Hardly, Abbot and Costello level of funny on that show.
I actually find Sara Silverman funny
Samantha B too.
@4 Dimensional
also LOOKS plays a HUGE part...
a female comedian can't be too pretty or too ugly
men do NOT have to deal with that
(or Louie jerking off in front of them to be fair)

This dude must be running out of shit to talk about.
I just saw a video he did crying about how good morning America censored the shit out of wu tang's performance. I guess he never saw the Motherless Child video back in the day. Rap City would blank out half the song. You think GMA is going to play around with curse words ? Lol

I can agree with that.
It’s funny...folks thought Martin Lawrence was over the top on Martin, but bamas can’t get enough of his reruns. Go figure.

If it was delivered from the Mother's POV, then it'd be perceived totally different than if it were Kevina talking about HER mother. The mother would be looked at as trashy, even if it were funny; but coming from the daughter, you'd be more empathetic and would laugh WITH her, not AT her experiences, almost like a therapy for her to get it off of her chest.
