What’s brilliant about this is that Larry is totally channeling Steve Martin’s style of comedy more than his own. Pretending to be an exceptional humanitarian, telling an obviously fake story as if it were true and earnest, and pretending that Steve Martin is a slimeball: these are all staples of Steve Martin’s humor. And yet he makes it all pure Larry David. Two of the funniest American writers since the actual Mark Twain.

@iamsobeautifulomg

2 жыл бұрын

@Tom Mccarthy Not true, his timing was awful and awkward at times but you don't have to have great timing to be a great comedian. He's a great comedic writer, thus a great comedian but his stand up routine came off a bit rigid (like had just written a few paras and memorized them). and it should. A proper stand up comedian has to learn the jokes and the timings and the confidence over years of performances. You're comparing a one night stand to a long deep relationship. You're comparing a dweeb to a football star. He's a writer, that's what he does best. He doesn't need timing, he needs comedic actors to play his writing. This is exactly why I also don't think Seinfeld is a great stand up either but definitely a great writer. I wouldn't even consider him a comedic actor or a comedian in general either. He was the weakest character in his own show. He just comes up with great scenarios to talk about. That's his strength. He kept the show together at best.

Steven Martin absolutely dying this entire time makes this so perfect.

I end up in tears every time... he's a genius, and Steve is laughing his ass off too

The genius of this piece... and i say piece because it really should be elevated above the term speech - is that he has littered the monologue with not only references to some of Steve Martin's particular works, even mannerisms that Steve Martin tends to use in portrayal of characters.
