Man, comedians who just blurt out a collection of one-liners exhaust me really quickly, maybe after 3 of them I'd find them tedious... There was another guy on Mock the Week who only does one-liners, I can't stand him.
I’d agree and I normally find the style of comedy boring… but then there was Mitch Hedberg. I don’t think most of his jokes were particularly great (though a few are very memorable!), but the way he queued and layered them was brilliant and often undermined the whole format he was using which made him laugh, which broke the fourth wall, which… well, it wasn’t a cheese grater but it ruined a sponge quite well.
Bunch of his jokes has the audience laugh, then pause, then laugh even louder due to the layers within one joke. He was really great. (Though there are some live recordings where he bombs really bad with the same jokes. Drugs i suppose.)
After discovering Stewart Lee, I find most comedians incredibly boring, especially after seeing him deconstruct their usual material and delivery a few times.
