Stand up comedy is a very strange business.  When it's bad, it's fucking bad, and let's face it, most stand up comics are terrible.  But these two guys are unbelievably good at it, their material is ground-breaking and perfectly delivered, and they deserve money.  Like Jonas brothers money.  And that's the sickening thing about our society.  Todd Barry and Louis CK are virtually anonymous comedians (despite the fact that Louis has won an Emmy and is good friends with Chris Rock).  Yes, people know who they are, but they don't make millions of dollars a month for their work, which they've carefully crafted over two decades of performing at shitty dank bars and lonely small town comedy clubs, while those idiot Jonas brothers were chosen for their looks.   They're basically dolls that Disney pays people to dress up.  They have no talent.  But Todd Barry and Louis CK do.  And they don't make nearly as much money.  It is something that makes us angry.  Sorry for ranting.
