Congrats on slaying. Nothing but respect there…
However, am I the only one that doesn’t find him really all that funny. He’s a bit better with pre-recorded material, but I’m not sure he’s ever been all that funny on SNL. He’s nowhere close to probably 10-15 cast members he’s worked with. I get the jimmy fallon vibe in terms of which cast member doesn’t belong in this skit because they’re not funny. I don’t really know how he was identified as being talented enough to be where he is today.
Is this just a generational gap thing for me? Is there some type of comedy with Gen Z I’m missing here? I actually find a lot of the snl cast over the last 15 years to be pretty funny even though I know the show gets trashed on a lot. Honestly curious to hear everyone’s take on this.

He's not funny.
Isn't his claim to fame his dad dying on 9/11?

I have nothing against him as a person. I’m just trying to find his appeal. On another note, watched the Mulvaney standup on Netflix and was very meh for me. |

Just that's kind of where his "comedy" came from and how he got noticed. That and his apparently prodigious peen that let's him score Hollywood A List women. And I agree on Mulvaney. It wasn't all that good. |

I liked Pete on SNL but I don't care for his standup.
Kevin Hart is a guy who I've never found that funny.

A comedian not many people know about but I think is great is Sean Bair Flannery. His book is amazing, and his shows with CJ Sullivan are always fun.

OKC - Who are some comics you just don't get? I'd be curious. Any others come to mind Peeps that most people like but you don't get it? |

For the record, even though I rarely watch tv, the few clips of Davidson I've seen, I don't understand his comedic value.
Not sure I find Jim carrey all that funny either.

As I've mentioned countless times, I don't watch much if any tv. But I did watch a fair share of Mork & Mindy. Fairly certain I never laughed at any of it. Point being, I thought Robin Williams as a comic was horrendous.
Now Robin Williams as a dramatic actor was outstanding from my limited knowledge. Wasn't he in some photo-stalker type of flick? I loved him in whatever that was.

Keep these coming KS!
Loved Carey up until maybe 2010?
Robin Williams had his moments as a standup comedian but I did not find mork and mindy funny at all.
Bobcat was just odd. Preferred him in police academy movies but even then his shelf life is like 15 seconds max

Photo-stalker flick. Did you like this because it felt very much like a biographical movie playing out in front of your eyes?

Pretty sure I never found Steve Martin to be all that funny.

Russell Brand. Joe Rogan. Seth Meyers. Trevor Noah. Bill Maher. Jay Mohr.
I do like Nate Bargatze and his new show on Amazon is really good.

I never really understood why people thought Dane Cook was funny in the 2000s.

I have, and the show is funny.
Jerry's standup, though, isn't.
Even his performance in the show is more miss than hit. He's carried by the ensemble.
