On Saturday night, a comedian gave a fun but controversial monologue on the state of the world and today’s comedy. No, we’re not talking about Bill Burr Saturday night live;; We’re referring to Andy Kindler, who held his 25th Annual State of the Industry Address, which he usually performs in front of a live audience at the Just for Laughs Comedy Festival in Montreal. This year he had to perform live from his “bunker”, with the festival – and most comedies in 2020 – going virtual due to the pandemic. And luckily, if you missed it, here you can watch the very funny and sometimes quite brutal speech.
In the 30-minute clip, Kindler delves into a number of topics from a very strange year for comedy and pop culture, toasting everything from zoom shows and cameos to Joe Rogan, Adam Carolla, late night hosts, “canceled” comedians and more. We have listed a few highlights below.
On cameo: “What a difference a year makes! Last year, I left Montreal at the top of the world after giving something to the industry and really looking forward to the numerous offers waiting for me in LA. Sure, I’ve given an uneven, poorly constructed, overly angry speech for the last 24 years. I felt like my awkwardly phrased, selfish, and vengefully nasty comedy had finally broken through! And then hit COVID and I couldn’t sleep … But do you know what saved my life? The sky parted and the answer came: Cameo, people! Miniature! And what did I learn from cameo in the last month? I learned what my celebrity worth is, and my celebrity worth is $ 35. “
On Bill Maher: “Talk show hosts all treat quarantine differently. Like Bill Maher, he keeps laughing at his own jokes to keep him in rhythm. “
On Chris D’Elia:: “Everyone follows Chris D’Elia, but let’s not forget that he was also a terrible comedian. What he did on stage was a crime. “
On Jimmy Kimmel:: “Let me tell you something: Black-faced white people are reprehensible. But half of the creators of The man show is unforgivable. Law? I mean what hurts longer? “
On Showtime’s Comedy Store Dokumentarfilm:: “You know, I love hearing comics that I don’t like to write about a club that I rarely play.”
On “canceled” comedians: “My wife and I are the same age, which is why I can’t seem to get sets at the Laugh Factory. It’s because they’re going out with young people. You are always with young people! A lot of comedians were canceled this year which is a shame for me because I wanted to beat them up. It’s too late now; You left You know your career is over if Andy Kindler can’t attack you … I’d feel a little better if I shot the canceled guys if my calendar got a little fuller. “
On Joe Rogan and Adam Carolla: “By the way, how come you can be the worst stand-up comic in the world and then make a billion dollars in another field? So, Joe Rogan was the absolute … I mean, I don’t think I speak outside of school: his act was horrible … he turned it into a $ 100 million deal. I say if it wasn’t for Trump, maybe Joe Rogan would be the stupidest person to ever make $ 100 million. But I love the idea that you can fail in comedy – even if you do comedy on the lowest common denominator – but you can still do it in another area. Like Adam Carolla. Because he’s terrible standing up, we have to go through his “Why can’t Nazis speak on college campus?” Suffering. shtick. You know, I never found Adam Carolla funny, but at least he wasn’t toxic before. Maybe it was always poisonous. “
On the “offensive” comedy: “I miss the days when comedy was just offensive in terms of quality. You know how to hack but not dangerous to hack? Hearing 40 comedians wondering which part of the chicken the McNuggets are from was annoying, but it didn’t seem life threatening. Carrot Top signaled no signal to white supremacists. I just want to say that I apologize to Jay Leno for making his act annoying. I’m so sorry. I should have been happy with that. Your act did not encourage COVID-19 deniers. “
