true I coulda made this post awhile ago, but I dunno if it's ever been discussed.

Anyway, Katt Williams is funnier than Chris Rock. Agree? Why the hell not?

I've always preferred political comedy to 'Hood' Comedy ( aLa "Def Comedy Jam" and "Comic View"), so I like Chris Rock's ability to weave current events and politics into his routines. ( see also: the late George Carlin).

Is Katt Williams funny? As HELL. But not funnier than Chris Rock.

but I ride with Katt

i agree with this 100%

In addition to that he has something Katt doesn't have and that is longevity.

not clear in the title, but I just think Katt is FUNNIER

other wise you wouldn't say that.

I've seen his act. He's funny as shit, but the whole Pimp persona gets old.

Diversity in full effect.

PITTSBURGH'S GOIN' TO THA SUPER BOWL!!!!!!!

Pimping, since been Pimping, since been Pimping, since been Pimping, since been Pimping" spill last.

Can you see him doing the same type of jokes, attacking the same topics 10-15 years from now?

What about if he gets married and his kids (does he have kids already?)? Will he be on the same shit if he has any daughters?

Katt's comedy is more of a gimmick, which cool if it works. But gimmicks don't last.

and why do you guys think he talks about nothing else but "pimping"?

It's pretty clear to me that he's just fucking funny no matter what he talks about...

and taken in.

And I laughed my ass off the first time I saw Katt years ago.
But...no.

Chris Rock is an all-time great.

It's nothing against Katt Williams, who's a funny guy, but it's comparing a very good comic to one of the five or ten best comics of all time.

RIP, BTW. Not that Katt isn't funny, but as has been mentioned, outside of the pimp angle, there's not much more to go with.

faithfully. And it still has me in tears.

I like Joe's game a lot, but he ain't Mike

Or Kobe, for that matter

he's quite funny actually. I give the delivery and expression edge to Katt though

>he's quite funny actually. I give the delivery and
>expression edge to Katt though

The versatility edge goes to CR tho which holds more weight in terms of whose the better comedian overall imo.

face it

..is on some bullshit...you asked a question, they gave you an answer you didn't like (which you HAD to know many would) and you mad now...

i like both and Just watched all katt's specials this weekend, and Chris is still far better...you don't think so? cool, but don't be mad cause you wanted your premise to be supported and erybody failed ya trust exercise...

They are hypnotic.

And yeah, Katt Williams is funny as hell, but Rock is just on another level.

i mean Chronicals was funny
but i have to see more than that same shit erry time

I think Chris Rock is insightful inways that people of all races, colors and creeds can understand and find hilarious.

Katt is funny as shit, but he's also a little bit more black oriented.

If we're just going to take Chris Rock's best work and put it up against Katt's i don't think anything Kat has can touch "Bring the Pain"

Bring the pain was on a comedy great level homie.

no diss to katt because that shit I saw last night had me howling, but I just think Chris Rock is on that short list of comedians however many you have, Chris is on that list.

vs.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ZWc38whLvg

(and yes, it's my understanding Smoove's been doing this bit for a long, long time)

(and yes, the Williams version is funny too... but the Smoove bit is funnier)

...and i KNEW i'd seen what katt did on AH b4, i just couldn't remember where...

...illustrate my point about katt leaning on physicality over actual well-written material

the funniest parts of that bit aren't even verbal

it's like silent film

physical comedy takes a great deal of talent as well, of course, but i tend to value the comedians that have the underlying fundamentals of well-written jokes "more seriously" than the cats who rely more on physicality (similarly, i value guys who can be funny clean more than guys who lean on profanity heavily, because best believe the best at it can do it either way...not saying katt can't, but i think his effectiveness would be dulled)

maybe this is an extension of the lyrics versus beats argument? LOL

Katt is great, but Chris Rock he isn't...

Katt's more of a gimmick and his vocie can get annoying at times. He's funny but not on Chris Rock's level. If Katt Williams had a show, it wouldn't last 2 seasons.

Reason being is because he knows how to reach the inner core of social & political issues.

born suspect
big ass jokes
bring the pain
bigger & blacker
never scared
kill the messenger

throw in the chris rock show and it's a wrap.

that's a body of work that none of chris rock's contemparies can touch.

as far as preparing the public for realness, but Katt gets a little deeper than Chris, even when you compare their latest specials ("It's Pimpin' Pimpin'" & "Kill The Messenger").

The way they hyped KTM, I thought Chris was going unfiltered like Louis C.K. and some of the other comics like him (Patrice Oneal, Doug Stanhope, whoever else ;) )

edit: It just felt like he wasn't quite getting to the point, even at the payoff/final joke.

poster?

you sayin katt keeps it realer? or katt more jokes about "real niggas"? OR that "hood comedy" keeps it more real?.... as i was watching his stuff i realize katt almost runs his own shit into the ground....after a awhile i got tired of real niggas vs fake niggas and him being a hustla...he's got more, i know, but i wish he wouldn't rely on tryin to turn each show into a motivational speech....i like katt but he's kinda myopic...

Chris Rock gets a LOT deeper with his jokes in my opinion. As was said he touches on more diverse topics, and I think his standup routines flow a lot better from joke to joke. It sounds natural. Katt's great, but he's got a more limited range (I don't even mean he just talks about the pimp angle...he's just not as versatile as Chris Rock). That, and as was said, he relies more on expression and physicality than Chris Rock does...Chris Rock is sort of a funny-looking nigga anyway, so he doesn't have to use that as much.

And Chris Rock's movie appearances > Katt Williams'. Easily. Katt's got time on his side though, so I think he'll make the gap closer

They're both people expressing ideas and opinions. I think Katt gets to the point better than Chris does.

Kill yourself!

Chris Rock is running this comic shit.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nADCd4xjWBk

if he is even in your top ten comics you need to check for new shit, because dude is weak.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mRmFEpl74sI

Katt is funny like a 'humorous-nigga-around-the-way' funny, but Chris Rock is 'professional comedian' funny.

Anybody can make funny OBSERVATIONS about around the way shit *punctuated with a bunch of pratfalls*, ala Katt, but Chris Rock tells JOKES.

With Chris you get observational humor, plus JOKES (a set-up, a story, a twist, a punchline), plus politics, plus social commentary.

Katt spends 1/3 of his set talking about ghetto unicorns *the mythical haters* and seeing how many times he can put the word motherfucker into his sentences and still be semi-coherent.

i don't think that's what dude was asking tho.

i never noticed how weak of a writer katt was until the sidekicks on the jamie foxx show made snide comments about katt's comedy chops after katt roasted steve harvey alive.

katt relies a *lot* on physical comedy

i personally think the art of actually writing jokes and doing thematic bits is difficult as hell. and chris does an hour plus. i enjoy katt immensely, but in some ways he is "getting over" by stretching what are essentially one-liners into two minute bits by adding tuck and rolls and wild facial expressions.

he's hilarious.

i just can't rank him above a guy who i feel *works harder* and writes better. and, in top form, is just as funny.

my two cents

but yet Katt has made me laugh far harder than Jamie Foxx or Steve Harvey ever have, which is the overall objective of a comedian correct?

I like them both. I really respect Katt's "Star Player". I was just listening to It's Pimpin Pimpin on my phone. Dude is hilarious!

But, I will always be a Chris Rock fan.

i like em both but Chirs is much wittier and can get just as ignant if not more!
