Nice pic of New York on a rainy day and Chicago in all of its glory o and is the water really that color in chicago??

Dirtball: YAWN
YAY!

Agreed, NYC is so cluttered and dirty. A bunch of ugly buildings crammed into a polluted, rotting island. No thanks.

OMO: dothemath: Moving to Paris is a long term goal, after college. I love river cities and the climate is amazing. There may have been a time when large american cities had distinct personalities but those days are over. Everything is the same everywhere.

Thanks McDonalds loving fatasses.

And just think...you can ride your London-purchased exclusive scooter full-time and you won't stand out like the "wannabe intellectual fairy" as much as you do in the States.

Name calling. *yawn*

I obviously said something in another thread that hurt your feelings, I apologize. Now dry your little eyes and show daddy a smile.

Honestly, name one reason I should care about the opinion of an angry internet zero like yourself.

Bill Frist: New York easily has the biggest stand-up scene and has tons of comedy TV shows.

That's what you're going to use as examples of comedy?

I'd throw in humor writers too.

I'm sorry though, what where you thinking of? YouTube videos?

5 dollar milkshake: It's ok Chicago. I love you no matter what these turds say.

Spoken like th mother of the fat kid who came home crying bc no one wanted to play with him.

Yes, that's right. Everyone wants to move to the big city, move to Chicago. Everyone who wants to see a big city, please, go be tourists in Chicago. New York is *clearly* inferior, none of you should *ever* want to come here.

Did it work?

Can I walk around during the summer without having to push jackasses who don't know how to walk out of my way?

Nope?

Damn.

Screw you Chicago, get better.

Dumbguy: Sirjohnfalstaff: HulkHands: As someone who lives about 10 minutes away from New Haven, the pizza capital of the planet, i find this pizza debate cute and amusing.

What part of Italy is New Haven in?

Pizza was actually invented in America. Your snark attempt = FAIL

Pizza was invented in Naples. Way to live up to your nickname.

I Said: When someone's head gets too big, someone better has to come in and make sure they know their place. That's the service us NYers are providing you third-worlders in this thread.

And New yorkers wonder why they are universally hated. Hell even new yorkers can't stand new yorkers.

Yes, yes it is. Lake Michigan water is that color blue. Sorry your skyline sucks Big Apple!

NYC is home to Americas first Pizzaria.

Suck it Chicago... your copycats... and really, really, really bad ones. It's a simple recipe. How you manage to screw it up so bad just demonstrates what the city is all about.

My Last Meal on Earth would be a Pizza from Gino's East in Chicago.

A group chicago polish sausages killed my dad, so I am kind of biased in my opinions about Chicago.

You, sure. Most people, no.

You still haven't given us any hard facts, just your weaksauce opinion chundermonkey, WRAP IT UP B

Unless you are counting LA since New York commedians fly out there to make TV shows or movies sometimes... who else even comes close?

So you think that L.A. shouldn't count because people who live in N.Y. go there to work? So you're saying that people not from N.Y. shouldn't count when considering the "scene" in N.Y.?

How many native New Yorkers are there in New York's giant comedy scene?


No no no, I'm not talking anything about "natives."

I'm just saying I wouldn't count hollywood movies where someone from NY flies to location in Dallas and films a wild west comedy that an LA based studio just happens to financially back. That's all I'm saying.

NY comedians who move out to LA and live there and do stand-up there and what not certainly count towards LA. But films that are financially backed by a hollywood studio don't in my mind.

You know who else set Polish culture back several hundred years?

Trivia Jockey: If dumb was alcoholism, this post would he Amy Winehouse.

I thought she was a drug addict.

WHAT?


CAN'T HEAR YOU OVER ALL THE AWESOME?!

I can't believe someone is seriously trying to convince people that Las Vegas is the greatest city on earth.

ahhhhh I get it now. Your thoughts are all just jumbled up in your nog, I see.

Nightsweat: tweekster:

I recall a previous thread about the L train, homeless and getting attacked. Basically it was a lesson of "don't depend on your fellow city dwellers to even acknowledge you" That pretty much sums up chicago.

jjrohan: Nice pic of New York on a rainy day and Chicago in all of its glory o and is the water really that color in chicago??

Yes, yet another reason why our lake owns the Atlantic Ocean around New York.

Sure you have an ocean, but it looks like crap and you can't swim in it.

So if Chicago comedians move to New York for work, they count towards New York, and if comedians move from New York to LA for work, they count towards New York.


No, as I said if someone MOVES to LA and participates in the comedy scene there it counts for LA.

But films (half of which aren't even shot in LA) which just borrow a famous NY or Chicago comedian for a month to shoot on location in Italy or wherever the fark shouldn't count.

Compared to Chicago, New York is over-crowded, dirty, and almost claustraphobic when you realize how trapped you are on a little island with a few other million people, and no car to escape from it all.

In Chicago, you just feel like you have a little more room to breath. And it's far cleaner too.

tweekster: And New yorkers wonder why they are universally hated. Hell even new yorkers can't stand new yorkers.

Meh. I just like talking shiat about things that I have nothing to do with (ie I don't effect the ranking of one city vs the other, besides possibly increasing the property value in my neighborhood with my mere presence).

But it helps to live in a city which you can demonstrate is widely accepted as better during these discussions (like by comparing where most people would prefer to spend their vacation dollars)

I love NYC. 2nd best city in the world. Food, theater, museums, shopping, comedy. The best of the best.

/Chi town is cool too IMO, just not as cool as NYC

TonnageVT:

p the boiler: I would also take the Bears and their history over either NY team.

Go for it, I enjoy it when my team wins the superbowl.

New York doesn't have a football team. New Jersey has two (for now).

New yorkers are damn sensitive about their pizza. Clearly some of them need a good, hot, deep-dishing to set 'em straight, and they are insecure in knowing that this is true.

R.A.Danny: Cute little building. I wonder why architects worldwide come to Chicago.

Because there's so much room for improvement

You really don't know. OK, you've probably heard of the Upright Citizen's Brigade, being in New York and all, right? CHICAGO born and bred. Fact is, most of that enormous comedy scene in New York has at some point come to Chicago to learn the craft.

blam.gif


This is exactly my point. Chicago is just a feeder comedy program for NY. Anyone with a wiff of talent flees Chicago to make a real career in NY.

Although your description is horribly hyperobic. Chicago is a feeder city who has given New York a lot of comedians, but hardly "most" of NY comedians have gone through Chicago.

I swim in the ocean every week in fact we have some very famous beaches down here and you guys have what a lake. when i think lake i think fishing and when i think ocean i think surf swim float around you cant float around in that salt-free lake you just sink straight to the mucky bottom.

TheFatManCometh: So a kid who is still in college is schooling us about what American cities USE to be like?

Nice try kid. Back to hitting the books for you, although you could use a trip around the United States.

Do you even speak any French?

Actually I dont need another trip around the US, I had a good look at it when I hitchhiked across it alone. I had an interesting ride between Mobile and Talahassee with an old man who was delivering a truck bed to his brother. I got a job with a company contracting for CSX rail in West Virginia then I went to Santa Barbara to visit my brother at school.

So you were saying?

You got me on the French thing but im learning. I was there for a month last year and I only really needed it in the country, Parisians speak all kinds of languages.

Try not to be such an asshole, ok?

NYC is so old, busted and a pile of crap they don't even use it as Gotham anymore. They even showed the freakin Sears in the new Batman.

Dumbguy:

Sorry but we're talking about actual pizza in here, therefore Imo's and its ketchup and cheezewiz on a saltine are excluded.

/Worst thing I ever had that dared to call itself pizza.

Well aren't we just a ray of sunshine.

Oh.



To put it another way, I wouldn't count every humor book published by a New York publishing house to count for New York... if some famous Chicago or LA comic writes a book it is probably coming out of New York, but it would be cheap to lump all of that into New YOrk's comedy scene.
