I like Chris Morris a lot. Especially the Blue Jam monologues.

Hannibal Buress (both as a stand-up and on the Eric Andre Show) is probably some kind of god

Steve Martin, John Mulaney, Pete Holmes, Patton Oswalt, Bill Bailey, Maria Bamford, Jim Gaffigan, Paul F. Tompkins, and Patrice O'Neal all have a certain genius about them

>>5900112
Chris Morris is next-level
Brass Eye, My Wrongs #8245–8249 & 117 and The Day Today are all brilliant, not seen much of Jam yet but it seems just as good so far

You know I've noticed a certain anti-intellectualism going around this country ever since around 1980, coincidentally enough. I was in Nashville, Tennessee last weekend and after the show I went to a waffle house and I'm sitting there and I'm eating and reading a book. I don't know anybody, I'm alone, I'm eating and I'm reading a book. This waitress comes over to me (mocks chewing gum) 'what you readin' for?'...wow, I've never been asked that; not 'What am I reading', 'What am I reading for?' Well, goddamnit, you stumped me...I guess I read for a lot of reasons — the main one is so I don't end up being a fuckin' waffle waitress. Yeah, that would be pretty high on the list. Then this trucker in the booth next to me gets up, stands over me and says [mocks Southern drawl] 'Well, looks like we got ourselves a readah'...aahh, what the fuck's goin' on? It's like I walked into a Klan rally in a Boy George costume or something. Am I stepping out of some intellectual closet here? I read, there I said it. I feel better.
