I hear you.
But, I’m surprised you are a Cook fan. He’s the epitome of what you described earlier. His new stuff anyway.
His older sets were so much better. But, that sad thing is.. he stole most of that material.
But yea, good chatting with you.

If you’ve ever seen Dimitri Martin, he’s a joke teller. He’s hilarious and he’s material revolves around telling one liners one after the other. Comics don’t have to have a continuous flow to be funny, especially in short standup gigs. But I completely see where your coming from. Arj is a bit more of a joke teller than a story teller.

I love chappelle. And i do love American comedy, i just like arj’s style in particular. Katt Williams, Dave Chappelle, Chris Rock, Dane Cook, Russel Peters (Canadian), I do love American comedy, but i like Arj’s style in particular. Thats just a personal opinion.

I’m not saying anything bad about Arj though. He’s definitely one of the best out. He finds such terrific premises.
But, he tells a lot of jokes. There are better comedians out there who actually have a “voice” in their act. A point of view.(Trust me, that’s MUCH more difficult because it has to be YOU that is funny, not your material.) And that’s why you get the extra “delivery” with American comics. Most of the act is their point of view. American comedy has far surpassed joke telling.

Arj usually appeals to the overseas crowd really well. (By overseas, I mean not USA) He’s huge in Australia. But, it’s not because of his sense of humor. There are hundreds of comedians with unbelievable writing ability. If anything, I find Arj a little “obvious” as compared to other comics.
But really, you shouldn’t make such a judgment. My guess is you haven’t seen much American comics. There is such a variety here. Check out Louis CK, Doug Stanhope, Carlin, Bill Burr, Chappelle

Sorry, lol. My bad. I dont take sarcasm too well. But yeah, i just meant that arj was a little more my taste in comedy than other U.S comedians. I didn’t mean to get snappy.

Ok that I can agree with. What you said originally was completely different.
‘STFU and take an opinion on board you egocentric fuckhead’
Woah there, why so serious?
December 23rd, 2008 at 2:25 am
Yes but the american comedians are usually so obvious and lack subtelty. They make their ****** and vocal expressions the punchline of the joke instead of letting the joke be funny by itself. “wow he must be a genius” no I was saying that this style is uncommon amongst American comedians. STFU and take an opinion on board you egocentric fuckhead

Last time I checked, ALL stand-up comedians take everyday situations and make them seem ridiculous…
‘Also I’ve never seen such great use of semantics is uncommon amongst american comdedians (when he uses the literal meaning of “walking shoes”).’
WOW. He must be a genius or something.

As if he’s not. I haven’t seen he’s type of humour in American comedians before. I like Dane Cook but he’s nowhere near Arj’s level. Arj uses that type of comedy typically seen in the english, picking out an everyday situation and flipping it to seem ridiculous. Also I’ve never seen such great use of semantics is uncommon amongst american comdedians (when he uses the literal meaning of “walking shoes”).

Uhh **** to break it to you but Arj isn’t that different.
December 27th, 2008 at 10:38 am
hes the best comedian ever!
December 28th, 2008 at 4:40 pm
Arj Barker has an incredible sense of humour. It’s not the typical dumb, guy falls down, **** **** joke, obvious American humour seen from alot of american comedians. Arj is subtle without being dull.

I didn’t realise till now how much Arj sounds like Will Ferrell. I thought there was something about Ferrell that seemed famliar, and it wasn’t the amount of films he’s been in.

January 3rd, 2009 at 5:06 pm
your fucking retarded
January 7th, 2009 at 3:17 am
that bit was amazing by the way. very funny.
January 9th, 2009 at 7:10 am
i dont see how arj barker relates to dane cook at all. and i cant believe how people either like dane cook or the other guys. its totally bizarre. morning star likes the guys and hates dane cook. kendal likes the guys and hates dane cook. everyone else hates the guys and love dane cook. very peculiar. i like them all. dimitri martin rocks. dane cook rocks. belushi rocks. arj barker rocks. as long as any comedian matters to someone, they;re doing theyre job and are not pieces of ****.
January 9th, 2009 at 11:24 am
i doont know if you meant that to be a bad thing but i think a punch in the crotch is damn funny and so is dane cook.
January 11th, 2009 at 2:06 pm
Arj Barker is fantastic. As was said below, check out Mitch Hedberg and Demetri Martin – my three fave American comedians.
January 12th, 2009 at 3:46 am
he is amazing! very funny

People complain about comedians and never stop to consider that they only get one chance to say a joke right on stage, youre going to tell a joke differently if there are a feew hundred people staring at you so show some respect
January 15th, 2009 at 3:24 am
seriously people complain about comedians, when they infact, base their jokes on the same things or take jokes from other people (sry my last comment was cut off)
January 17th, 2009 at 5:50 am
well if Dane cook is a piece of **** why are you looking at this video?
