Comedians

[Torai]

You can use anyone or any group of people who is famous for being comical: George Carlin, Monty Python, Weird Al...

Jon Lajoie: One of my favorite musicians and comedians, his humor is very cynical: Ni dominant?

Trevor Moore: Plays an ENTP, that's all I know.

 

[Snuggletron]

Louis CK: asshole ESTP
Mitch Hedberg: ISFP (might be an N considering his sporadic style, though)
Lewis Black: ENFP
George Carlin: ENTP. in before Orangey

where my J's at

 

[DiscoBiscuit]

What about Robin Williams, Ron White, Seth Rogan, Richard Pryor, Sam Kinnison (sp?), Rodney Dangerfield, Simon Pegg etc, etc, etc.....

 

[Mr. Sherlock Holmes]

What about Dylan Moran? He's hilarious.

 

[Spamtar]

Richard Pryor EnfP

Sam Kinnison - EstP

Feel the best stand up performers are EPs

 

[Tallulah]

What about Dylan Moran? He's hilarious.

Seems like a really cranky INTP, to me. At least in Black Books. I've only heard a little bit of his standup.

I think Hedberg HAD to be an N. His whole act was N.

Forcing myself to be definitive on some of my favorite currently active comedians:

Paul F Tompkins- ENFP
David Cross- ENTP
Kyle Kinane- INTP
Patton Oswalt- ENTP
Zach Galifianakis- INFP
Doug Benson- ESTP
Bob Odenkirk- ENTJ

 

[Requeim]

Zach Galifianakis- INFP

Strikes me as more of an ISFP

 

[Komakino]

Stewart Lee could be an INFJ.

Also I've seen Bill Hicks mentioned in threads like this from time to time, sometimes as an ENTP, usually as an ENFP. Neither of those ever felt right to me, I'd guess he was INFJ too.

What about Aziz Ansari?

I think Cross is ENTJ. Steve Martin as well (at least NTJ)

Bill Hicks was an ENFP.

[citizen cane]

really? jon stewart an ISTJ?

 

[Patches]

really? jon stewart an ISTJ?

Very much doubt that.

 

[citizen cane]

yeah...seeing as i'm pretty sure i live with one, I SHOULD KNOW



i sort of quite strongly resent the fact that both of my parents are rather clearly defined SJ's

 

[Aleksei]

really? jon stewart an ISTJ?

He seems rather quiet and meek. His snark is rather Te in nature, snarking about the ridiculousness of what he observes externally. He additionally seems to have Fi values, with his stance towards social ethics being "don't interfere with me, I won't interfere with you." He additionally seems too guided by them for ESTJ, what with his "stop hurting America" 20 minutes on Crossfire. They could have talked about anything else, but he ethically bitched out both partisan hacks. If he's not ISTJ, he's ENFP, but I don't see much Ne at all.

 

[citizen cane]

the first part, especially the first two sentences, fit me to a T...

SJs being "clearly defined" as recalcitrant traditionalists, I presume...

Anyway, I added Enneagram and Socionics types to my guesses. Unsirprisingly, the vast majority of listed comedians are Fe-ego.

 

[Aleksei]

Meaning you're an introverted thinker, as is he. Given that he displays strong Fi and Si though, that pretty much means he can't be anything else but ISTJ.

 

[citizen cane]

snark is practically my middle name some days...i can identify with the values fairly well also. i used to like colbert too, but ;ately i've just found him too annoying and his whole tv host persona sort of ruins the news parody in my opinion.
