....Rock doesn't write his material anymore. Started out that way, but it changed a long time ago. Plus, Garafolo is fucking terrible. Not funny, no delivery, misuses words and shit when she wants to come off as a bohemian intelligent modern woman. Her observational humor is nothing I can relate to. She's just bad. She doesn't even memorize her jokes, she came out with a notebook. Not notes, or crib sheets, but an entire spiral notebook.
David Cross is great. He has some well-written shit. Dane Cook just makes me smile without even saying anything; just the way he acts. But he's hilarious and very energetic which gets others into it too. And naturally Attell and Chappelle are both great. Stewart.....not so much. Pablo Francisco is incredible. So is Louis Ramey (another Atlanta boy, just like David Cross, Chris Tucker, etc.). Jim Gaffigan is great. And Bil Dwyer's Comedy Central Presents special was one of my favorite of all time. He's great. Too bad he's stuck on Battle Bots.
