Again, short of starting a new thread, I want to say something here. I find most new black comedians a la Dave Chappelle, Tracy Morgan, Wanda Sykes, Keith Robinson, and many others to be very banal in their humor; recycling the same old black jokes and relying heavily on their ghetto accent to be supposedly funny. I thought this kind of comedy was funny too. Back when it was first being done 10, 20, and 30 years ago. I get it, you're black and you say everything in ebonics...those stereotypes were exploited by comedy a loooong time ago my friends.

Though I admit that Wanda Sykes may just be an excruciatingly unfunny person in general whether she uses heavily recycled jokes or not.

Which is why I think Sinbad is/was the best black comedian ever. He doesn't have a dirty routine, and he doesn't rely on racial jokes (although he does make a few observations, it is not the core of his routine)

+1 or even Cedric The Entertainer; Clean, smart humor.


And Wanda Sykes needs a kung-fu kick.

I never would have guessed this in a million years. Ever.
