    Easily my favorite stand-up comedian of all time. I loved the one where someone in the audience yelled out "You're nuts!" and he looks at his crotch and with a tone of relief he says "I thought they were out."

    He was at the TOP of the comedy pole in those days. Every SNL he performed on was elevated to 11. So many are saying he's not funny...you just had to live in that time to know the depths of what he did for comedy. He was HIMSELF, honest, fresh, uplifting and downright hilarious...Steve WAS 70's comedy.

      yep!! a lot of people don't understand that this is why Steve is considered a genius. the actual material in his act isn't necessarily funny--it's the delivery, the ironic, 4th wall aspect of it. in his own words, he tried to capture that "you just had to be there" type of comedy. this goes over so many people's heads but in reality is so revolutionary.

      So he's genius because he did a comedy act which actually wasn't funny. It's thrilling for 2 seconds sure and then it's just lame.
      Andy Kaufman did this gig way better. He could actually be considered as genius.

    Most rational adults who watch Martin's act for the first time today are puzzled: how did this guy ever make it big? Understandable response. But what you may not understand is that Martin's stand-up act in the 1970s was a critical response to the banality of mainstream comedy at that time. He was mocking mainstream comedy so well that you often could not even tell that it was mockery. If you are today unaware of the contemporary context, then you do not perceive the value of his act.

    Steve Martin's a mensch. He's a good guy with depth; I like him a lot. But I don't personally find his act laughter-inducing. Steve on stage brings out the feel-goods to be sure, but is Steve a comedian? Perhaps his kind of performance is a different thing altogether, like silliness art or human muppetry.

      He’s 100% a comedian, are you kidding me? Stop trying to be intellectual and over-complicate things. His comedy specials are varied as far as including physical comedy, prop comedy, irony, subversion of expectation, etc. all of which are included under the comedic umbrella. He’s a unique comedian, not a fucking human-puppet you dim-witted, cretinous, pinhead.

    • @graytonw5238

      I have to say I agree with you...to a degree. I love a lot of Martin's stuff, I think he's a much better actor than he gets credit for, he writes some great stuff, he's a great musician, and he's truly multi-talented. But his stand-up comedy to me was always hit and miss. Some routines I always thought were funny, but some of it, I think he was relying on a lot of the audience being drunk or high and would laugh at anything because everything to them was funny. I mean that seriously, because I think it was the perfect time for him to hit it big. His talents grew when he was with the Smothers Brothers show, he had the right connections, and his timing was perfect for the SNL and Midnight Special crowds. He knew exactly how to take advantage of it all, and it paid off big-time. Even if you can't appreciate his stand-up, you gotta respect his savvy. 🙂

      Steve was a breath of fresh air in a very depressing and uptight time. He threw away conventionality and pioneered a style of comedy that was not built on typical joke structure. Looking at this stuff 50 years on, with the benefit of hindsight, the material loses something. But Steve was hilarious in the 70s and beyond. I see two different Steve Martins, the actor and the stand-up comedian. I always have preferred his comedic side, but each to his or her own.
