Top 20 Comedians in Africa: Who made the list, who didn’t?

There’s a list we stumbled across, claiming to have aggregated the top 20 comedians in Africa.

Let me start straight away by saying “HA-LLE-LUJAH!” Churchill is NOT on the list. In my personal opinion, Churchill is the UNFUNNIEST Kenyan I know. Apparently the NATION ITSELF agrees with me.Remember the awkward silence when he tried some off the cuff jokes at the BBA opening ceremony? I’m convinced it’s his horrible jokes that made Africa not vote for Huddah. They were just put off by that (excuse my french) crap.

And what’s with that Teacher whatever. Seriously…… Why is any grown adult still laughing at shrubs? Even in high school, it was just LAME to be laughing at those. If someone really effed up it would more likely elicit an “Oooooooooooooooh SNAP!!!” than laughter. It’s like laughing when sex is brought up. Come on, grow up. SHRUBS ARE NOT FUNNY.

 

 

And hey, how about actually doing funny interviews when guests come on your show? Musicians, politicians… Obama went on Ellen and you know what he did….. HE DANCED. He didn’t answer foreign policy questions, he didn’t talk about his stint as a Senator, HE DANCED. STOP ASKING PEOPLE NON-FUNNY QUESTIONS. I’m supposed to laugh like I’m watching Letterman, or The Daily Show GOD-DAMMANIT!!! 

I mean, even Redykyulass were better. Yeah, I know, people got tired of it and claimed it was monotonous, but comeon. That ish was straight up FUNNY. The PERFECT combination of slapstick comedy (Nyambane), character comedy (KJ) and insult comedy (Tony). Those were some goodtimes. Goodtimes.

No, I’m not claiming to be a great comic. But I’m gonna call out bullshit when I see it. (Once again excuse my french)

So when I saw this list I got excited! Someone actually found out who the real funny comics were!!!!
