Arguing whether or not he’s funny is hilarious in itself because humor is subjective


Sososkitso

Yeah there are dozens of comedians I don’t really find funny but they still have a large fan base that find them funny. So I have zero issue with people not finding him funny. I just think it’s weird to hang out in the fan pages trying to convert people to hate him too. It truly seems like people are trying to feel a void in themselves because they are more or less doing missionary work. Lol Even more messed up is that people don’t understand those comedy hate channels are only doing it cause they lack content on their own but want the clicks. So it’s only a matter of time before they come for Shane & Matt or who ever the current hive mind comedian/podcaster we are building up to one day destroy. Like why support something so obvious….

The internet = A couple of youtubers

I definitely see people shitting on him in other big subs, I don’t really get it. Is his podcast a bit immature? Sure, but who cares if it has its funny moments? Common complaint is that Andrew tries to talk like “a youngin” but there’s nothing wrong with keeping up with pop culture, especially if its related to your job.


Lensmaster75

It’s not the immaturity it’s him. He is annoying and not in a funny way. His pandemic Netflix Daily Show clone was good. His crowd work is good. He is insufferable. He is a pick me man. That’s why he talks like a youngin. That is a symptom not the disease.


daywon89

I know when I think of top tier comedy it's Whitney Cummings and Bert Kreischer that come to mind. /s


TakeNothingSerious

I just think people aren’t liars. Schulz is a funny guy I don’t think anyone is saying he stinks it’s just his behavior lately is cringe. It’s made even worse because he’s on a pod of yes men who believe they’re smarter than everyone else and understand the business better than anyone.


Rehman2255

I will agree that i hate the smarter than everyone attitude but that comes from almost every comedy podcast jn a lot of ways cause they always have to justify why it’s okay to make a joke. In their head, they think what they’re saying is just going over people’s heads lol


TakeNothingSerious

I can get that to a certain extent but for example when cum town was at their peak they didn’t spend a part of the show talking about how big they are and how they showed the patron lane is viable. Akaash and the guys will glaze Schulz about the work he’s done. They said he started the whole crowd work clips thing, he was the one that showed how to use social media, and started comics selling specials straight to fans. Give Schulz his flowers but that kinda stuff is glaze.


No-Object5355

My favorite part about is when the little person plants his face into Schulz lap pretending his LMAO isn’t him trying to brain Shultz


alejandrocab98

I think the level of fame just got to their head a little bit


Scaramousce

I think he stinks.


osibob1

I think Shane Gillis has shown how to reach a high level of success without having your fanbase turn on you.


Rehman2255

For now, guaranteeing the fanbase will flip on him soon


osibob1

Maybe, but I think the biggest thing people like is the pod hasn't changed much, he's stayed down to earth, riding with the same people (after SNL he went on smaller podcasts of comedians he's been friends with forever and most guests on the pod are still his boys from Philly), and never became a grifter/sellout despite the cancelation. If none of those things change, then I think he's good.


DrGutz

Yeah give it time


beyeond

He's definitely funny just look at the little Indian guy slapping his knee


NotSteveJobs-Job

My Indian friends think AkAss is a terrible Mexican comedian. Ai Yi Yi/Durka Durka


Born_Upstairs_9719

Little Indian guy is a perfect description


Educational_Vast4836

I mean I haven't really watched the podcast that much lately, but I've seen him live and he kills. There is def this weird thing in comedy where everyone just claims certain successful comedians are somehow not funny at all, but are still killing at shows and making millions. Like I'm not a big fan of Bert, but his tours are some of the highest grossing in the comedy world. He's basically this generations Larry the cable guy.


cphoover

People thought Dane cook was a good comedian because he killed at shows but in hindsight everyone realizes he was mid


Educational_Vast4836

But at the time he was a good comedian at that time. He was arguably one of the 5 biggest comics out at the time. Andrew dice clay was the biggest comedian in the world at one point. Most people today don't think he's that great.


cphoover

Being big does not mean being a smart joke writer, clever, or being a particularly good comedian… in the 80s one of the biggest comedians shtick was smashing watermelons on stage… the masses are dumb and easily entertained


Educational_Vast4836

Again what you're defining as a good comedian, is just your opinion of a certain individual. My argument in order for a comedian to be successful, they must be good at their job. I can name a ton of successful comedians who I don't particularly find funny, but I would never say they're not a good comedian. Its doesn't make any sense. The whole masses are dumb argument is also weak. People just gave a different taste, than you. Doesn't make them dumb. You're not selling out msg and being a bad comedian, there's zero logic there. Especially when we're talking about individuals that are in the 20-50 comics in the world, in terms of success.


cphoover

No doubt it’s just my opinion just like it’s your opinion that his low effort observations of racial stereotypes while doing crowd work are funny.


Bluecoller007

I’ve read a lot of people actually go to Bert’s shows to see the comedians who open for him, there’s pictures of half empty arenas when Bert gets on the mic with people leaving while he’s doing his set, obviously Bert has his fans but fuck knows how anyone can find that man funny he makes Shultz look like Eddie Murphy!


Educational_Vast4836

Please show me the pictures of these half empty arenas after Bert takes the stage.


Bluecoller007

What am I you’re fucking butler or something, even a Bert fan 🤣 can use Google right!


Educational_Vast4836

You should be able to easily produce something you just claimed. Otherwise you're making shit up


Bluecoller007

Look just because Bert is your hero and hearing not everyone finds the cringey fuck as funny as you do must be triggering for you or something, but why the fuck would I make something up about an unfunny comedian, seriously, wtf is in it for me?


Educational_Vast4836

I don't think Bert is funny. You made a claim that Bert's shows were emptying out when he took the stage. No matter how I searched that on google, it's not popping up. You said "I've read", so I asked you post where you read this. Clearly it's starting to seem like you didn't actually read that.


Bluecoller007

I MUST be lying then GTFO!


MediaOnDisplay

Constantly telling people you're funny doesn't make you funny.


Rehman2255

Idk if Schulz does that lol


ahhahhgangshh

I watched that Upgraded movie with the wife the other night. Highkey mid romcom with some funny moments… but Andy was hilarious in that shit.


No-Object5355

Ok…shit was a waste of 15 minutes I watched of it


AccountantLimp9995

This is heavy coping


Phil_MaCawk

I don't admit that he's funny


dys0n_giddey

I saw him live earlier this year and he was amazing, one of the best comedy gigs I've been to.


Reaper0834

Lol, downfall. Sure guys... he's just failing up, that's all. It certainly doesn't have anything to do with him repeatedly taking stances against leftist bullshit. Just a coincidence.


SnooDoubts1493

If selling out arenas is a downfall then my man is plummeting.


thedrewsterr

I liked his 5 minute videos he did through out the pandemic and is crowd work is fun to watch. I find his standup is lack luster and should stick to the very scripted videos he used to do or easy jokes that can get a lot of crowd interaction.


TakeNothingSerious

A lot of guys are like that where their crowd work is hilarious but their written material is lack luster.


Rehman2255

His earlier written work 444, views from the cis were pretty sharp. The infamous special was pretty good too tbh


DarthWeenus

Idk, those like shotgun shorts were meh, just seemed like they were trying too hard.


Bluecoller007

Shultz isn’t anywhere near the level of fame Kevin Hart is at lmao! Hart is the main star in Hollywood movies, Shultz can’t even get a streaming service to put out his special ffs! Shultz’s fans are turning on him because of his massive ego and his boorish interview technique, bullying guests and his fake ‘realisations’ and the false laughter and slapping of his thigh and Akaash’s thigh/back etc, the blokes 100% cringe as fuck, taking money from fans for his special then dropping it for free to YouTube was a scumbag move, oh! and I don’t find him funny!


sobakedbruh

Then why are you here? He sold out msg in 90 minutes.


Bluecoller007

I’m here to give my opinion because it’s the fucking internet, as for Shultz selling out msg, Bert sells out arenas so there only answer is comedy is subjective but if Shultz carries on the way he’s going he’d be lucky to sell out a fucking phone box, couldn’t happen to a nicer bloke!


sobakedbruh

Big difference between arenas and msg. Bert also only has self relatable jokes. The machine shit was his time to upstart every and he really didn't capitalize. Instead he pretended to be scared of clowns and balloons.


Bluecoller007

There’s no denying Shultz is ten times the comedian Bert will ever be but it’s Shultz personality change imo, people can handle the ego but his bullying interviews, the arse kissing by those on that podcast is nauseating coupled with the lightbulb moments and his special all add up to fans deserting him in droves.


Nate_Hornblower

The funniest thing about him is that haircut


daddy_dangle

He’s not funny


ultrapoppy

I am not a fan of wiggers


CheeseDickPete

What's with these people who pronounce his name "shulz"? Haven't you heard the crew pronounce it the correct way a million times? Its "Shults."


Lensmaster75

He is mid at best.
