Comedians and philosophers

Not all comedians fall in this area but people like George Carlin, bill Hicks and Doug Stanhope come to mind. Although they aren't what we would call intellectuals. They bring up alot of good points and observations in their stand up comedy specials.

Some examples: "shouldn't the long term goal of any society be complete unemployment?" - Doug Stanhope. (In context to machines taking people's jobs) 

"It's all about money, not freedom, y'all, okay? Nothing to do with fuckin' freedom. If you think you're free, try going somewhere without fucking money, okay?" - bill hicks

"Rights aren't rights if someone can take them away. They're privileges. That's all we've ever had in this country, is a bill of temporary privileges" - George Carlin


Where do they stand in the spectrum of philosophy or do they even have a stand.

Nowhere, really.  Although in the general sense sharing one's thoughts on life and society can be called philosophy, what comedians are doing doesn't have a great deal to do with what modern academic philosophers are doing or the Western philosophical tradition.

  In general, for observational comedy to work you need to say things that your audience agrees with.  More perceptive comics might share observations that their audiences never even knew they agreed with until they heard it and edgier comics might share observations that their audiences would never admit to agreeing with in polite company, but agreement in some sense is necessary.

The other factor is that comics generally make no real attempt at justifying their observations.    They may elaborate or try to relate it to something their audiences will understand, but to actually provide some sort of logical basis by which an outsider to the observation may come to agree with it is rare.

So when you strip away the comedic aspect of a comedy routine, what you tend to have is people sharing information that is commonly agreed on with no justification for it.  This can hardly be considered philosophy, although that's not to say that there aren't works of philosophy arguing for the ideas expressed in the quotes you gave (or the ideas present in any given comedy routine).
