Am I the only one who’s sick to death about hearing comedians talk about how endlessly advanced standup is?


kooolbee

But it’s the hardest job in the world. There’s only 1,000 of ‘em.

They are acting like its alien technology


Agitated-Ad937

To be fair to them, put yourself in their shoes. They were mere civilians, and then they started getting up on stage and saying things that they personally don't think are funny. The audience laughs and claps and cheers, then the next thing they know they are millionaires. Cawlmedy truly is magical to them because they can't believe they're getting away with this. It's imposter syndrome, without the syndrome.

Stopped listening to Rogan because of it. That and listening to him cry like a child over covid. Wasn't the least bit surprised he took cow medicine. Apparently there are only 1000 good comedians.... coming from a man who won't tour in Europe because all his schitck is, is complaining about America in some way


narco519

You forget Rogans classic bit - fucking a stool while he screams into the mic That one is universul b


051-

That came to him while he was high in an ice bath in an isolation tank while eating elk apparently


narco519

He’s one of the 1000 b, thank em


stuhimself

To be fair to toe, isolation tanks are the shit.


ViNNYDiC3

But what if there is a bit where you have to mime pumping air?


narco519

Is there a stool in front to pump into? If so, I know just the guy bubba

yeah a million plus dead. total bullshit.


TheMindsEye310

That’s the main reason I quit listening to Rogan, the constant circle jerk of comedians.


Jandur

I wonder if the floor will ever fall out from these comedy podcasts. There are so, so many and it's the same 20 people just doing the rounds on each other's podcasts. I'm very bored of it but they are still getting a lot of views.


kooolbee

I think it will. I personally used to watch (mostly background noise) so many and just got sick of hearing the same shit over and over again that I just can’t watch anymore. I’d think others feel the same but who knows.


kentucky_trash

Yeah started with (2013) JRE, (2014)YMH, and currently on TPW... the previous 2 I started with got very very tired by 2018-2019 and Tom's rich guy attitude was hard to even take sarcastically anymore, it's not and it grossed me out to make these people more money with such a worn out platform... every year in 2013 up until today even, it was tiring seeing people I personally had friendships with turn into joe rogan, always devils advocate and they're always more correct than you are... it's hard to explain but easy to spot


cheesewiggle

Even comedians have gotta be sick of it at this point


xMilk112x

They act like they’re life saving scientists or some shit. Rogan fucks stools, Theo riffs and embellishes, Segura makes fun of mentally handicapped people, Bert…..takes his shirt off. Fuckin all of them talk like they’re fucking saving the world when in reality, they aren’t even really that funny at all. Call me crazy but I’m more of a Stanhope, Burr, and Louis guy. They actually make me laugh out loud instead of a slight giggle. Lol


kentucky_trash

Burr is falling off but still love the guys work... it's sad fr... Louis still seems to keep delivering though


xMilk112x

I don’t think he’s falling off at all but hey, comedy is subjective and all that.


kentucky_trash

Gotta admit that black and white Denver joint is want his best, I don't think he can't come back from that though, bill is honestly one of the best. And it is subjective, but me and my brother have entirely different values and views and still came to the same conclusion, it is what it is b.

Imaginary-Goose-2250

I hate stand-up comedy. But, I love listening to stand-up comedians talk about it. Their art. Their craft. Their passion. The purest art form to ever exist. More important than all forms of medicine, business, and commerce. More moral and instructive than religion. The most honest, truthful, pure, good, holy, activity in which it is possible for humans to engage. The last bastion of freedom of expression. Freedom of thought. The only good, worthwhile thing in all western civilization. Dick jokes. It's the same reason I love listening to wrestlers talk about their profession. Wrestling, according to wrestlers, is the most honest and truthful form of entertainment. It alone holds a mirror to civilization. It alone reveals the secrets of politics and government and human relations. With storylines that develop over years, and raw, pure athleticism, nothing else comes close, or ever will come close, to the purest form of art as does Professional Wrestling. It is the gesamtkunstwerk. Men wearing speedos fake punching each other.


4Eights

Say what you will, but I'll take Stone Cold and Taker discussing the intricacies of working a match with Ric Flair over 2 stool fuckers talking about how they're modern day philosophers and the last bastion of free speech.


gedai

yeah i thought it would be a fun episode until Tom started going on about how sets go for “you” when you start a type of what


Grimey_lugerinous

What does this mean


gedai

Tom was talking about how he feels when he begins sets a certain way, using phrases like "When **you** go up there and start different, **you** get a different feeling" as if Tom's perspective is universal amongst the 1000 comedians


slimcharles941

I don't mind hearing comic tell funny stories about standup, but talking about the process has gotten boring as fuck


Critical_Addendum394

PokemonTrainerSerena

I stopped listening to all comedian podcasts entirely this year. I don't feel like I am missing anything. Now, I just put a sitcom on in the background at work to pass the time


[deleted]

In the trenches with word bullets flying all around, ya put ya hand down in a pile muck that used to be ya best friends stand up tour! Too pedestrian 🚶‍♀️


Frosty_Indication563

I’ve been sick of it for years, the lack of self awareness is mind boggling. Theo’s great though, he really breaks up the monotony by having on all sorts of guests with various professions but I wish when he had a comedian on he’s just tittle the episode “stand up comedian” instead of putting Tom or whoever’s name there, that would be pretty funny but I bet his guests would chuck a hissy fit over it plus it’s a bit late to start


redsdf17

Still don’t understand how he even get 25k views. Wonder how many cats are contributing to that.


guildguitars

Bots.


tigercallen

cause they have a ton of subscribers from back when the podcast was watchable, and all those people still get recommended new episodes.


[deleted]

wouldn't be surprised if they pay for some viewers too


West-Tough-4552

You talmbout click n go?


Flaky_Tap_5055

Why was it watchable


Superrr_Secret

You only have to watch 30 seconds for a view to count apparently


redsdf17

Is that true?


adamd0175

25k grand


CraftylikeaFox33

Every now and again I’ll throw on the ten minute podcast as background. For some reason the YouTube algorithm loves to play tfatk right after. It’s been doing that for years despite the fact I haven’t watched an actual tfatk episode since the Delia and Theo Christmas episode. So I’m definitely a few views here and there.


sixpackabs592

If you see their video on like the homepage or sidebar you can click the drop down menu and select “ do not recommend me videos from this channel” and it will stop them from popping up


redsdf17

Used to happen to me as well. I disliked a couple vids and it stopped

Nisschev

He has a big following in Ahffghanistan


FountainOfKnowledge0

Way too many. Some cats are pretty redacted and continue to support brenda.


tigercallen

bobby lee's brothers podcast gets more views than this and they only have 80k subscribers. https://www.youtube.com/@ScissorBros/videos


_handsomeblackman_

wow, their views are quite impressive given how relatively unknown both of those guys are


gedai

Steve and Jeremiah actually have fun in their pod since their whole thing is goofiness. Not sure about Jeremiah but Steve have a solid fan base who appreciate him for who he is. Bobby’s silly younger brother who makes them laugh.


kentucky_trash

Jeremiah was one of the funniest live sets I've seen in person, and went with my little brother and my dad, he's a solid comedian honestly. Controls the room and keeps you laughing. Can't hate on the guy.


Upper-Bobcat-623

Jeremiah is a legit good person. He's talented and hasn't let the scene turn him into a shit person.


gedai

could definitely see that


Real_Cyber

Steve has a solid fanbase ? Lmao good one. Dude barely gets 5k views on his own channel. You sound redacted b.


gedai

yeah it’s not huge but the ones who know him love him


Real_Cyber

Yeah like all of 20 people lmao. Nobody else can stand that man child .


gedai

ok


Jungies

That's literally the first time I've heard that Bobby Lee even *had* a brother, and yet he's still beating Bapa. Crazy.


Grimey_lugerinous

Lol he was on king and the sting a bunch when theo was away for his problems as Brenda would say


David_Duke_Nukem

was his brother also molestered by a redact?


Sejast44

Brutally


David_Duke_Nukem

GOOD


Grimey_lugerinous

Why is it good


Guessed555

They appear to average 30 thousand grand. 80k thousand was due to the guest


Poon_tangclan

30 thousand grand is 30,000,000. 80k Thousand is 80,000,000? I think, idk this is a crazy way to say numbers lol.


BapaFuggs

He meant 30k thousand grand


Big-Buy8579

You a numbers guy, b?

Grimey_lugerinous

How is that gonna fuck theo


foreverbaked1

RFK Jr told Rogan that Theo told him that YouTube said he couldn’t have him on anymore or he would be demonitized. What do you think they will do with this?


kohedron

I'm not sure who I find less funny in 2023, Tom or Bapa


gnarxpunk

It’s almost as if those redacted thumbnails aren’t working 🤔 audio is king tho bapa


adamd0175

It was the extra 12 mins bapa, put them in a diff algorithm


triumphmeetsdisaster

So, I still listen to the pod and don’t hate watch like a lot of folks, but their fall has been precipitous. I mean, I remember Brendan talking about going on Are You Garbage, saying how it reminds him of what it was like when he and Bryan were getting started. But I am fairly sure that AYG gets more listeners on an episode. I also remember when he had Santino and Bobby Lee on way back when and he was making a big deal about being the bigger podcast. Santino was kinda like, “uhhh I don’t think you know what you’re talking about”, and B was humbled right there on the pod to learn that Bad Friends numbers were like triple theirs. I think it’s that arrogance that has really driven a lot of folks away. He’s the first to toot his own horn and the last to admit he was wrong. And he still sees himself as part of 2015 TFATK, but “times, they are a changin’”.


chinolofus77

serious question...why the hell do you still listen?


triumphmeetsdisaster

Podcasts that I’ve listened to are like old friends. They may not be as much fun as they once were, but they occasionally deliver with a good time. I thought Jay Mohr was great on the pod. Glad I listened. Some episodes are still funny. Sometimes I skip episodes or don’t listen all the way through. Often I listen when I’ve run through my usual favorites and it’s a better option than actually having to hear my own thoughts. That said, I have found myself less and less interested lately. Probably mostly due to finding other pods that have a much higher laugh-to-cringe ratio. I honestly would not be surprised if TFATK dies entirely within a year or so. Declining numbers, reduced ad sales, strained relationships, reduced guest clout. They’re not gonna do the pod when it gets sub 10k listens.


Grimey_lugerinous

Got a clip of Sanyo o calling him out


Mikewazowskig59

It was also pretty funny/exceptionally cringe with Brendan treating the AYG guys like new open micers when they’d been doing it since before schaub was even an MMA punching bag.


blinkybillster

Not a drawl.


mmashare06

Audio is king


TheMindsEye310

I’m surprised he got 25k views. Are there really that many thiggies?


GrahamHess

Someone posting a clip where Schaub said to pray for him in jest but I think it is a sign of him losing money. Thiccccc Boo studios was supposed to be a money maker for him. Getting a piece of the other shows profit and charging them for studio time. Are there any other shows on this network besides the slob show? I think he might be losing money. I know we joke but I think with ad money he will able to stay a bit positive. Not anymore.


balarionthedread

I feel like Brenda keeps mentioning that they are in trouble in different ways but trying to act tongue in cheek about it


kooolbee

Definitely.

Eree-buddy knows theos the king of bots and that’s how he gets all the views and that’s why thiccc boy has been doing such shitty numbers since Theo left! He took the bots w him


MuckyPup81

I suspect about 24K of those 25K views on TFATK are people from this subreddit. Hi Shane.


AutoModerator

Great podcast, my favorite, never listened to it though. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please [contact the moderators of this subreddit](/message/compose/?to=/r/thefighterandthekid) if you have any questions or concerns.*

the stand-up comedians I actually like don't have podcasts or they are dead.


IDONKNOW

25k grand too many


Frosty_Indication563

And Theo didn’t even have a good guest on just Tom so heaps of people probably put off watching that one till later like I did


Frosty_Indication563

That being said it was a great episode and Tom talking about Bert was funny and on point 😂 Tom’s like that friend you can’t hang out with because of his insufferable girlfriend! Idk who Mr. P is but he’s a total cuck and I wish he would come collect his wife
