I've seen it. It's certainly a tear jerking one if I ever saw one.

Watched Louis C.K. - Live at the Beacon Theater a few days ago. At first I wasn't too in to him, but he grew on me for sure. Also been re-watching all of Frankie Boyle's live shows. Probably my favorite comedian of all time. Downright ****ing offensive as ****, and his delivery is perfect. Watched Jim Jefferies. Meh. That's about all I've seen. Anybody got any recs for some funny ass comedians.

The new Jim Jeffries was a lot better than any of his other specials that I watched.

Check out Bill Burr and George Carlin.

Same. His sense of humor is right up my alley.

I love that fat ****ing nerd. Patton Oswalt is pretty good too.

That's why I like him, cause he is a nerd. A short fat depressed hipster nerd. Bill burr and Louie are funny but they're kinda your-average-Joe kinda comedian. That's mostly like what i am like so their point of view to me is not really that surprising but more nerdy hipstery comedians like David cross or Patton do bits that are more geeky and intellectual that appeal to the wannabe nerd in me.

A great geeky comedian that is mostly known for being a writer is Dana Gould. That guy's stand up was family guy before family guy was even a thing.

Have you seen this? He's perfect in the role.

No I haven't seen Young adult. I mainly follow his stand up not his acting. I might check it out later if I'm in the mood but some ppl said he was great in Big fan and that movie bored me.

If Young adult is a slow paced dark comedy like Big fan I doubt I'll be into it.
