Marc Maron quite simply is not funny. Being irreparably dark and morbid shouldn't be mistaken for humor. It's just dark and morbid.
I like his podcasts. He's a good interviewer. As a comedian he's just depressing. There is no relevancy to what he spouts on about. There is no message. There is no learning momemnt. There is no funny.
I'm truly shocked he got his own special. Oddly, as I said above, he has a good podcast. He's even a good interviewee. Entertaining as all heck. But as a stand up, he stinks.
Give me Gilbert Godfried, George Carlin, Richard Pryor, or Lewis Black and day of the week. Marc Maron just is a bad standup.
