    I would've had to go straight home after that. You can't even come outside for a while.

    Sketch comedy is where Aries Spears shines. I remember watching a stand-up special with Aries Spears, DeRay Davis, Kevin Hart, and a few others in it over a decade ago and I thought they were all funny.

    Though I noticed that certain types of humor and comedy styles don't always translate well in certain settings. A lot of comedians are funnier in movies, interviews, or TV shows than stand-up (example: Eric Andre and Indian comedian Aziz Ansari) whereas comedians like Bill Burr and Kevin Hart do better at stand-up. Only few are equally funny in both (examples: Dave Chappelle, Eddie Murphy, Katt Williams).

    Outside of his DMX and Jay Z impersonations he has never been funny to me. MadTV was wack and I didn’t know any Black people that watched it.

    I preferred MadTV over SNL. Do you think that SNL was funnier?

    Harbinger Neither did I. After In Living Color, very few sketch shows held my interest.

    Fr. At the risk of going on a tangent, I thought his impressions of LL Cool J and DMX were good. But the man himself is so corny. The whole incident when he was on the 5150 Show just brought everything into sharper focus.

    I remember watching Aries growing up on Mad TV. I always thought he was a funny dude for table comedy. I know there is a lot of bs he got himself into in recent years but he is still a talented comedian for what it is worth and he knows how to tell a funny story.

    And turn his phone off or put it on "do not disturb" while he cried his eyes out. I'm sure he cried when he got away from everybody else. What does he do for a living anyways outside of comedy?

    Yeah he is a table comedian. Like a dinner table comedian I mean. He does simple comedy the whole family can laugh at. Nothing deep or thought provoking. Mostly slapstick.
