Best Comedy Rant

LlcoolJ · Oct 9, 2017

Was discussing this with a mate the other day and thought it worth opening to the floor. I love a good rant, but what's the best one you've read / seen.

These were my / her best two that we could think of.......

Andrew Lawrence does the best comedy rants. On the 1 minute mark he tells the truth about Frankie Boyle's utter and complete hypocrisy and on the 3 minute mark completely dissects Stewart Lee for what he really is. This is a masterclass in how to do it.

One trick pony. Not watched this particular episode but I'm willing to bet my mortgage that it starts with him looking ill-prepared, starting genially enough with a few swear words but by the end he works himself into such a fake anger that he's apoplectic with rage, swearing about neo-cons and neo-liberalism. Anyone want to take me up on that bet?

He is a one trick pony, but it's a very good rant.

I'm sure it was. Was that one filmed whilst he was still working for Russia Today or after he left? I'd hesitate before accusing anyone of taking money from a mouthpiece for a fascist, homophobic State in order to reach a wide audience but I rather suspect that he was happy to take money from a mouthpiece for a fascist, homophobic State so that he could reach a wide audience.

Eric Idle on package holidays in Monty Python.

What a silly bunt!

This one at around the 2' mark you mean

Younger members may need Watneys Red Barrel and Timothy Whites explaining to them, possibly also Campbells soup, Mr. Smith and Enoch Powell. Quality rant.

Not heard of him before but anyone that can so accurately skewer Boyle and Lee gets my vote as well...

I rather like Rhod Gilbert's ranting, especially this one.

Quite amusing until you watch the earlier part of his gig where he's sticking up for Dapper Laughs (while completely missing the point of rape culture etc) and Clarkson.

Two Grade A *****.

I didn't watch any more but I guess it's down the same route.

He's funny but he's about as far off the mark as Ulloa's penalty.

Not too keen on rants at people a la Andrew Lawrence, much prefer the broad brush of the state of humanity that Bill Hicks does so well, that we're all complicit in.

Having said that, this supposedly is about the effect of a breakup and it's superb -

Wow his act is nothing like it was when he first started out, almost a complete transformation from self-deprecating, mild mannered chap to full on swearing ranter. Still good though.
