Has popular comedy (as in, not stuff like Ambrose Bierce) evolved at all since Aristophanes, or is it basically about the same shit?

I wonder if any American comic have ever tried this sort of routine in a normal country just to get met with confused silence.

It wasn't the entire foundation over all of their work though.

The Miller's tale wasn't the rule with Chaucer for instance.

That's true, and I think their sex jokes tended to incorporate wit.

How?

Unless you're literally a prostitute, should sex really make up 95% of the experiences you talk about?

Thank god I have my foreskin. My family doctor was a "quack" and said I could not get it hacked off for some medical reason, but now I realize he was a bro and trying to keep the rabbi from ruining my great white girth.

Penis is full, thick, sensitive and healthy and I'm not a cuck. No coincidence.

No, mainstream female comedians make many jokes about sex because they realise it's the only way they can make it big

As someone who doesn't come from a jew-dominated place, I find it very weird that uncircumcised dicks are considered that weird.

i watched an amy schumer special to see what all the fuss was about and she was no better than those random literally whos that comedy central throws up on comic remix or whatever that show is called.

if this is the best that female comics have to offer, then maybe those people who say women aren't funny are right. i mean, i've never met a funny woman in my life but i live around a bunch of filipinos so i thought their lack of humor was a symptom of being asian.

the use of that image is oddly cathartic. it pretty much sums up her comedy, and how she isn't funny.

That's because being funny doesn't necessarily make one a good comedian. I mean some of my friends are hilarious but I'm sure they would absolute bomb if they wrote a routine and performed it on stage. Stand-up comedy is actually an art form, even if just a young and immature one.
