"What is the deal with..."

Is it just me, or is that a really hack thing to do in standup comedy? lol

[–] Alcoholicorn@mander.xyz 6 points 16 hours ago (3 children)

Its literarary shorthand for "this comic is bad at their job." No comedians actually say that, unless they're referencing a hack comedian.

Jerry Seinfeld literally was that guy. All those "what's the deal with..." jokes are specifically making fun of Seinfeld. It's not calling out all hacks; just the one specific hack.

[–] FosterMolasses@leminal.space 7 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

They're referencing Jerry Seinfeld. He does that.

Or did, probably before you guys were born lol

Like they said, referencing a hack comedian

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 1 points 16 hours ago

I mean hack comedians still do it I guess, but most of them don't make it past the open mic stage. Or they improve their craft and stop doing it.

"How about those comedians that say 'What is the deal with...'? They're trite I tell 'ya. Trite!"
