  • For many comics, the job is to be a bit shocking, a bit provocative, and test a few social norms just to get a laugh. But in a culture where norms are being blown to bits and everyday life is a provocation, what’s a comic to do? This thoughtful and honest talk by writer, actor, and comedian Andrew Schulz reveals the challenges of getting an audience to laugh at a time when not much shocks anyone anymore.
    TEDxColumbusCircle (www.tedxcolumbuscircle.com) was produced by a team from Manhattan Productions (www.manhattanproductions.com), Womenkind (www.womenkind.net), Gender Fair (www.genderfair.com), and reimagine.world. Andrew Schulz is an American comedian known for his work on Guy Code, The Brilliant Idiots podcast and the Amazon original series Sneaky Pete. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

      Anyone is intelligent to give a TEDx talk. Don't forget the X. Andrew is just a boring narcissist that gets laughs for slow people by hitting his knee and pretending to crack up at the material he's told thousands of times already. His podcast is insufferable. He laughs so hard it's like he's trying to clear his throat. He slaps his knee violently and he's always yelling. I have no doubt that he would do well in most comedy clubs. He's figured out how to make people laugh even at his bad jokes, so he's clearly very skilled. But he's truly skilled as a social media marketer. He convinced hundreds of thousands of preteens and simple adults to think he is way better than he is by trying to sell the idea that he's "dangerous." He's not even truly controversial. No one cares about the "edginess" of his material. People rip on him because he's obnoxious, vain, shallow and the last person you would ever want to spend time with in real life.

    My 11th and 12th standard in a school in Delhi, India has around 900 children in total and i donot know a single teenager who doesn't know about Andrew Schultz.
    We all watched views from the cis on our class projectors on a half Saturday and that was one of the best days of my school life.
    *Love you Andrew, keep the great work going and hope to see you in India soon* 🇮🇳❤

      @@3Demon100 He does get preachy with his anti-pc stance but from what I've seen he keeps that off stage (except in this case obviously), meaning that it's not part of his comedy routine. His actual comedy contains bits of all those types of comedy you're naming.
