Damon Wayans Jr. = The Future of Comedy

[L.Kizzle]

Dude is straight hilarious. I'm pretty sure everyone knows his pops and his thousands of uncles, aunts, cousins in the business. I've been seeing him in bit parts on his pops show 'My Wife & Kids' and he finally got his first staring role in his pops sketch series 'The Underground'.

But the other day, he killed on the season premier of 'Def Comedy Jam'. I think he's even tryin' to branch of on his own distancing himself aways from his family (on Def Jam he went by just Damon Jr.)

Still, look out for this cat.


Damon Wayans Jr. on Def Comedy Jam' (http://youtube.com/watch?v=-9M9aeNP_gA)

[RidonKs]

I just... I don't see the appeal in that. Not really funny at all. I smiled at the pigeon walk, but that's about it.

[Se]

I didn't even crack a smile. Lame humour... it was forced.

[T-Low]

I found that pretty funny to be honest. Damon Wayans will be an up and comer and will get a good start because of his family's resume.

[RIP CITY]

Weak. Lost me on the joke about him "working", and having to call in sick. Sick from what?? Spending your dads money. The rest wasn't any better.

[kidachi]

it wasn't that bad. wasn't that good too.

[Doctor Zizmor]

its wasnt good. black comedians are just awful. remind me to never watch a black comedian ever again....and patrice oneal, who I liked until I watched him on def comedy, is now just another unfunny black comedian.

[ItsMillerTime]

What!! Patrice O'Neal is straight f*cking comedy gold.

[Doctor Zizmor]

What!! Patrice O'Neal is straight f*cking comedy gold.
I guess he dumbed it down for the def jam audience then. which is understandable, Im not sure who Im more embarrassed for, the black comedian, or the black audience for laughing at them.

[ukballer]

Yeah I've seen so much better. This stuff was pretty weak to be fair.

[ItsMillerTime]

****.. I can't remember that show where there was like 4 comedians and a moderator talking about current issues and the like. It was on comedy central.... ahh I remember now. Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn. He was HILARIOUS on that show.

yeah, I enjoyed that show as well. I like Patrice O'Neal, but he was awful on Def Comedy...just like the rest of them.

[Kebab Stall]

That wasn't funny at all, or atleast to me it wasn't. The pigeon walk thing was slightly funny but everything else sucked.

[RidonKs]

Now here's (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OlQK2bFE80s) a good comedy routine. Probably my favourite one of seen of him.

MUCH better. Not the greatest stand up act ever, but much better.

[L.Kizzle]

Now here's (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OlQK2bFE80s) a good comedy routine. Probably my favourite one of seen of him.
I giggled about the follow up "hello" and the pizza but that's about it.

[RidonKs]

I giggled about the follow up "hello" and the pizza but that's about it.
Nothing at the "force me to drop everything" or "sending your friends out on foot with these meaningless hello messages like it's Ancient Greece"? Or the Mad Cow Disease bit? Heh, different comedy tastes I suppose.

I've seen funnier Seinfield bits then that.

[dawsey6]

His material is hilarious! His delivery is good, too. There's just too much dead space is his routine. That's the only flaw, but if he's just branching out, I think that will take care of itself.

other than that, you dudes are hating.

Yeah, plus dude is young and just starting out. I didn't even know he was a stand-up until I seen the previews and said "hey, that's Damon Wayans' kid."

Damon Wayans Jr. on Def Comedy Jam' (http://youtube.com/watch?v=-9M9aeNP_gA)


Sorry but I didn't find him funny at all. :eek: He needs to just make movies with his uncles and call it a day. Stand up IMO will NEVER be his thing.

[monthh]

I thought the Wayan's kid was funnier. People really have different tastes in comedy, but I laughed for most of the first one, but Sienfeld only made me crack a smile a few times.

[kidachi]

Seinfeld's a legend..

but.. http://www.insidehoops.com/forum/showthread.php?t=61231(click the youtube link)

and that Seinfeld routine on Letterman last year sucked. IMO. i smiled at some part... that's it.

btw, someone said on the youtube comment that the "hello" joke was from George Carlin.

[Tarik One]

I guess he dumbed it down for the def jam audience then. which is understandable, Im not sure who Im more embarrassed for, the black comedian, or the black audience for laughing at them.

Dumbed down is exactly what he did. Big disappointment.

[shadow]

He was pretty good. Not the greatest or anything but I laughed at a decent portion of that, which is all that matters. He needs to work on delivery and transistion between jokes. See Seinfeld clip for a good example of what I mean.

I hope so too, but it has the signs of getting canceled this season.

It has moved from Wednesday nights, to Tuesday and finally has landed on a Friday night spot. A show moving nights during the season is not good.

If people were fans they would probably know this, and since no one is (hence the cancellation) I don't think you need to bother updating us next generation Wayans news.

So they cancelled The next Gen show but kept Single Ladies :facepalm

Well Single ladies does have beautiful and appeal to the black female audience

[L.Kizzle]

-D. Jr. is trending with Dwyane Wade. He hit that first years ago and tossed her to the side. And now is Wade's side peace.


-Damon Jr. has also re-joined the cast of 'New Girl.' After 'Happy Endings' was surprisingly picked up by ABC, he joined that cast as 'New Girl' sat on the shelf at FOX for a while.


3rd season of 'Single Ladies' premiers with Damien dante Wayans joining the cast tonight.

It's only been 6-7 years since this thread was made. Stop being so impatient. He will be a household name any day now...

[Nastradamus]

They cancelled Happy Endings. That show was damn good and he was the best aspect.

You seem way too invested, though, Kizzle. Are you Damon Wayans Jr?

Listen, I like your act and persona and your dad has been hilarious since forever but you need to cut out the borderline homo shit you do. It's a bit weird.

Happy Endings was pretty good, but I thought DWJ was about the 4th best character after Max and all 3 girls.

[TheReal Kendall]

Hey Kizzle, Do you think Damon Wayans Jr. will be bigger than the other Wayans and his Pop?

I was thinking bout this the other day when I seen his trailer for his new movie. It seems like he has more appeal and safer comedy style for the whiter audience than his Pop and some of the other Wayans.

I don't think he's funnier than his Pop, Marlon, or Shawn but he has the talent to crossover and appeal to a broader audience.

No, and that is because of his family.

The Wayans are pretty huge with white audiences. Scary Movie and White Chicks didn't make money off of blacks that's for sure. Those weren't Booty Call or How To Be a Player types movies. And In Living Color and My Wife and Kids were also huge with white audiences. My Wife and Kids was ABC's number one rated comedy for four of the five seasons it ran on the network. ILC was only behind the Simpsons in it's run on FOX from 1990-1994.

Jr. doesn't have that iconic character his dad had and he had a bunch. Sr. I bet still get's called Homey the Clown or Blaine Edwards on a regular.

Jr. is the most successful of the Second Gen with on Damien is close challenger. Jr. is still behind Kim at a distant 6th most successful Wayans.

Of course she was funny. She's no Wanda Sykes though.

[Knicks101]

She's the very definition of a hack. I predicted just about all her punchlines. Her delivery was terrible and they had to pipe in laughter. Stop being such a Stan you know that was ass.

Most television shows have canned laughter. And is it me being a stan or you being a hater? I'm pretty sure you don't like the Wayans Bros so of course you won't like their niece.

She was funny. Not like I said it was the greatest set I'd ever seen. Or that she is the second coming of Phyllis Diller.

[Knicks101]

She told a joke about how she was in jail, and how they need to figure out a way to punish Lesbians because she was in Heaven and excited to undress in front of other women. :kobe:

A joke about fat bitches. :kobe:

A joke about how men aren't interested in here because she's a stud. :kobe:

Those are just the ones I remember and I watched this like 20 minutes ago. Terrible.

I have no feelings about them one way or the other. I liked the Wayan's Bros sitcom, My Wife and Kids was okay and some of their movies are decent. She was awful, she's a hack. Easy Lesbian jokes anybody could have written. The only half decent thing she said was about how she grew up in the Projects while she had all these rich family members. Which still wasn't funny but at least it was something different and unique to her.

I guarantee there are hundreds of Lesbian comics telling the same jokes and not making any money doing it because their last name isn't Wayans.

[Knicks101]

Oh and how could I forget the classic "Women couldn't be the President because bitches be crazy" stuff. Wow. :applause:

[L.Kizzle]

Ellen DeGeneres and Wanda Sykes tell generic lesbian jokes also.

That's like the posters here who talk about black comics doing "white people do this" jokes. Than I bring up everyone's favorite Chappelle does the same type of jokes. And they say, "no, his jokes are different."

[Knicks101]

Jokes about race, stereotypes, sexual orientation, gender etc have their place. It becomes a problem when that's all you do. It's easy, people eat it up and it's hacky. Then on top of that, the people you listed are genuinely funny people. Chaunte Wayans is not. On top of that chances are that was probaby her best material. Bad bad bad.

True, but she's telling jokes about her life. What else should she talk about? Give her time to evolve in stand up. She's only been doing it a couple of years.

And I don't think stand up is easy. Making an audience laugh has to be tough.

She hasn't filmed a special in a couple of years. But just watch one of her past specials from back in tje day.

Since when is Knicks101 the authority on comedy? Never seen a funny post from him.

Nor is he a good stand up comedian in real life.

Why are there paragraphs on the subject from this guy. I don't get it.

You really believe she went to jail and was happy to get undressed in front of the other women and that she enjoyed her time there? :rolleyes:

She's not talking about her life it's just stereotypes and dumb hacky shit.

It's not that hard to make a bunch of drunk people laugh. Doing so doesn't make you funny either.
