I have yet to crack a smile at this guy
The yanks seen to have an inexplicable adoration for him, It's like he did something funny once but I've never found it and he lives off that reputation but isn't funny any more. Completely don't get him.
Maybe his skill is that he acts like he is funny so convincingly that nobody notice he isn't

Each to their own. I enjoyed his childlike glee when he told a risky joke

I've never heard of him.

he's done a few funny bits its over a long career, but I agree his output is far less than his contemporaries
he often does did old "mother-in-law" material, repackaged relying on his persona and ironic deadpan to carry it off, and lot of his other stuff is mostly about confrontation and cruelty to other people in the business. But I think some people like this persona, and like the put-downs which the yanks have more of a tradition with. I think he's pretty second-rank, but does at least has had his own schtick

male american stand-ups
are tripping over each other to point out McDonald's genius: that being the apparent novelty of telling shit jokes to subvert expectation, as if this was the ultimate expression of comedy.
he got away with it because he mugs well and his peers were already all-in.
i'm kinda hoping louis ck will surface at some point and fucking set fire to his legacy, his sycophants and then himself.
