Stewart Lee.. Had a great series on the BBC recently called Stewart Lee's Comedy Vehicle, with each episode showing him, in his drole, deadpan manner, gabbing on about various different themes. I thoroughly enjoyed it and now hopefully ye shall too!

Sweet jalapenos, that's a lot of links.

Better than a ton of videos embedded and sucking up the life of your computer. I thought I laid it out quite well.. It's not confusing to follow!

Yes. And he's quite funny.

Yeh Stewart Lee's cool. He's a bit hit and miss but I like the way he thinks.

mostly for me dark comedy, wry wit, people who mess/play with language. no dane cook-ish monkey-jumping screamery.

I'm gonna revive this here to ask a question...

"Say what you like about these servicemen amputees from Iraq and Afghanistan, but we're going to have a fucking good Paralympic team in 2012."

People in politics and the media in England are seemingly going mad about that line from a recent Jimmy Carr show, and I reeeeeeeally don't think it's all that bad. Comedy is way funnier when someone is offended, and the blacker the humour the better, in my opinion...

tl;dr - Reckon that joke was out of line? And do you think comedians need to be safer in their routines or that nothing is beyond the reach of a joke?

According to Jimmy Carr, he's told that joke to injured/amputated servicemen, and they laughed! I think a joke like that is fine as long as it's cool with whoever's the butt of it - the only reason people have a problem with that joke is that they don't KNOW whether it offends the person it's making fun of. And since it doesn't offend, then it's a pretty funny joke.

But it is a fine line - black humour's not really my thing, though Tim Minchin's joke about his baby daughter was absolutely hilarious.

I've always thought Seinfelds joke about the para-olympics was funny "what do they do, pile up all the cars in the handicap parking space?"
